Ensuring principle-driven, legally sound, and ethically acceptable behavior in the global context is not an easy task for leaders. They face the requirement of meeting the needs and expectations of a diverse set of stakeholders. They are increasingly called on to protect, preserve, and restore the resources of the environment. They are expected to improve human well-being and social equity and recognize and effectively address economic and social issues concerning equality, social justice, and human-rights protection, and they have to navigate their organizations through periods of radical change, turbulence and crisis. How should leaders in global organizations go about meeting the multiple demands of a complex global stakeholder environment? This book explores the dilemmas, paradoxes, and opportunities that leaders in global organizations of all types encounter daily and addresses how managers can and should think about and approach these complex issues in responsible and productive ways. This book will be of interest to students and scholars across business, management, and the social sciences more broadly.

Although firms have been sending employees on international assignments for decades, systematic understanding is sorely lacking.

In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), special emphasis is usually placed on the strategic and financial goals of the deal, while the psychological, cultural, and human resource implications do not receive as much attention. This book examines the dynamics of the sociocultural processes inherent in M&A and fleshes out their implications for postmerger integration management. The book's contributors come from a variety of subdisciplines within the field of management, and thus provide new insights into the managerial, social, and cultural processes inherent in M&A. Executives with extensive experience managing M&A have offered commentaries at the end of the chapters, providing real-world perspective to empirical and theoretical insights.

Volume 9 of the journal, "Advances in Global Leadership," includes timely and impactful articles on processes associated with effective global leadership. In these times of accelerating complexity and global inter-connectedness, a deeper understanding of the multiple contextual, organizational, and individual variables and processes associated with effective global leadership is critical. This volume contributes to bridging and integrating conceptual and practitioner perspectives in pursuing this deeper understanding. A new section of this year's volume is devoted to articles that apply and expand concepts from traditional leadership to global leadership -- an area that has heretofore received very little attention. Another new section contains articles written by consultants who provide perspectives gained from the "front lines" of global leadership development in client organizations. The volume's contributors range from well-known voices in the field to newly minted scholars with a fresh perspective.
