Never before has the world witnessed the phenomenon of severe
stress and burnout on such a large scale as in recent years.
Globalization, technological advances and economic meltdown have
brought about a plethora of unprecedented challenges for industry
and organizations across the globe. Consequently, executives have
been under growing stress due to economic uncertainties, mergers
and acquisitions, role erosion and restructuring, resulting in
increased workloads, longer hours and demands for greater
productivity and efficiency. This changing environment has created
job insecurity, anxiety, dissatisfaction and emotional exhaustion
causing a rapid increase in executive burnout. This book provides
the most comprehensive analysis of the construct of burnout,
including its magnitude, a global research review, a typology of
models, comparisons between professions and consequences of burnout
for individuals and organizations. In addition, it provides the
views of mental health professionals, empirically derived causes,
symptoms and coping techniques, while throwing light on
preventative measures and comparing Eastern and Western approaches
to mitigate the effects of burnout.
Sustainability is a topical subject being emphasized nationally and
internationally. Though there are books on environment and climate
change, there is lack of a textbook/sourcebook which focuses on
organizational sustainability. The proposed book is expected to
bridge the gap and would be appropriate for business schools
offering MBA courses on strategic management, CSR, corporate
governance and sustainability.
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are one of the top
investment priorities in these days. We expect that by 2030, some
800 million jobs will have disappeared and taken over by machines,
and artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029.
Continuing this train of thought to 2045, we will have multiplied
the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our
civilization a billion-fold. The time of machines requires new
forms of work and new ways of business education. This book is
authored by a range of international experts with a diversity of
backgrounds and perspectives hopefully bringing us closer to the
responses for the questions like how may AI be used /or is a threat
for PRME implementation, how will AI impact the business education
world or what we should teach in business school in the time of AI
(what the 'right' set of future skills is)? In our book, we address
the following questions: 1. How will AI impact the business
education world? 2. How will AI be used in business schools and
management learning? 3. Is AI a threat for the successful
implementation of PRME? 4. What should new learning goals be? 5.
How should we create next generation learning journeys?
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted at the United
Nations Sustainable Development Summit on September 25, 2015
contains holistic, far reaching, and people-centered set of
universal and transformative goals and targets. These call for
strengthening capacities and providing an enabling environment for
access to opportunities that are sustainable from economic, social,
and environmental standpoints. Sustainability focus of the
organization needs to go hand in hand with sustainable HRM systems,
processes, and practices. But the reality is that sustainability is
seldom a part of HR plans or strategic HR practices of most of the
organizations. Hence, this book, Human Resource Management for
Organizational Sustainability offers a new paradigm by focusing on
human resource systems and processes from the lens of
sustainability. The book puts together the concepts, researches,
and practices that advance the understanding of organizational
sustainability through human resource management contributed by
specialists from Austria, Germany, India, Netherlands, Spain,
United Kingdom, and United States, with examples, cases, and review
questions. Whereas environment-related aspects have been receiving
increasing attention over the years, the "people" element of social
responsibility has received limited attention in management
education and also in the business world. This book will bridge the
knowledge gap and will provide valuable insights into how
sustainable HRM practices can contribute not only to organizational
sustainability but also to sustainability at large.
The cascading effect of globalization in the form of changing
business environment, economic uncertainties and economic meltdown
have brought about a plethora of unprecedented challenges before
industry and organizations across the globe in recent years.
Management education which prepares human capital for the industry
jobs is expected to address these challenges along with
intensifying competition, advancing technology, increasing
workforce diversity and accelerating complexity. But the current
management education is largely based on traditional capitalism
where the focus is on profits and competitiveness rather than on a
balance among profitability, social accountability and
sustainability. The corporate scandals, scams and global meltdown
and their repercussions on people, organizations, and countries in
this interconnected world have created a compelling case for
rethinking of management education. Consequently, management
education in general and MBA education, in particular, need to
adopt a paradigm shift in its knowledge generating (research)
system, knowledge dissemination (teaching/training) system and
knowledge utilization (learning/consulting/industry projects)
system to be responsible and sustainable. Globalization has made
the managerial role transnational where managers work, interact or
conduct business with people across geographies; therefore, every
manager needs to have knowledge of internationally recognized
standards/practices to be able to conduct business with
responsibility. This textbook Managing for Responsibility provides
an alternative paradigm for management education written from an
academic as well as practitioners' perspective.
