This comprehensive Handbook presents specially commissioned
original essays on the societal roles and contexts facing women in
business and management, the specific career and work-life issues
of women in these fields, organizational processes affecting women,
and the role of women as leaders in business and management. The
essays shed light on the extant structures and practices of society
and organizations that constrain or facilitate women's
representation, treatment, quality of life, and success. Despite
decades of ongoing inquiry and increasing interest, research on
women in business and management remains a specialized field
without mainstream acceptance within business and management
disciplines. The Handbook presents the current state of knowledge
about women in business and management and specifies the directions
for future research likely to be most constructive for advancing
the representation, treatment, quality of life, and success of
women who work in these fields. It provides the foundations for
improved societal and organizational structures, policies, and
relational practices affecting all in business and management.
Thus, by enhancing the knowledge base that improves the work and
life situations of women, it suggests ways to elevate the societal
and organizational systems for all. The Handbook will be an
essential reference source for recent advances in research and
theory, informing both scholars of organization studies, gender,
diversity, and feminism; human resource specialists; and educators
of and consultants to business organizations and management.
Transformative Cooperation (TC) presents new ways for individuals
and organizations to partner to create a more sustainable future
and take people to a higher stage of moral development. This
handbook invites readers to consider how businesses can partner
with organizations in other sectors of society, including
governments and nonprofits, to address global concerns and improve
the lives of all. It documents the need for and early examples of
cooperative efforts that have transformed the relationships between
corporations and the communities in which their employees live and
work. The editors begin by issuing a call for TC, explaining the
economic and social reasons for working across traditional
organizational, national, and international boundaries. The book
then goes on to explain the dynamics of transformative cooperation,
exploring the leadership characteristics that facilitate the
transformation and its social benefits. Throughout this handbook,
the editors present some of the best designs in transformative
cooperation, and conclude by explaining transformative cooperation
as a generative possibility.Overall, the editors and contributors
argue that TC is about the search for the best in people, their
organizations, and the world around them.
