In todays diverse workforce, managers and administrators are
challenged with maintaining an equal and harmonious work
environment. Despite the efforts of companies and organizations,
training and maintaining employees of diverse cultural backgrounds
in one setting continues to present challenges. Cases on
Sustainable Human Resources Management in the Middle East and Asia
presents a collection of teaching cases intended to examine the
experience of modern executives implementing sustainable human
resources practices in diverse corporations. Through highlighting
practical examples of implementation in real-world settings, this
book is an essential reference source for professionals and
researchers working in the field of Human Resources Management
interested in proven practices and effective strategies for
managing diverse work environments, especially across Asia and the
Middle East.
"This is the book that would've saved me nine different therapists,
decades of self-analysis, thousands of pounds, twelve different
doctors and untold amounts of pain, frustration and trauma - in
spending a lifetime looking for the right answers in the wrong
places I've become an accidental expert." In this candid, witty and
insightful exploration into therapy, Steph Jones uses her
professional and lived experiences as a late diagnosed autistic
woman and therapist, as well as consulting therapists from across
the world and tapping into the autistic community, to create the
ultimate autistic survival guide to therapy. Steph confronts the
statistics, inadequate practices and ableist therapists head on and
poses the questions of how we can make therapy
neurodivergence-affirming and how to create safe spaces for
autistic individuals. With strategic and practical advice to help
recognise the 'red flags' of a dodgy therapist and provide a clear
roadmap to finding your confidence and setting the appropriate
boundaries with a new therapist, Steph has every question answered.
To support therapists striving for inclusivity and a neurodiverse
affirming practice, the inclusion of a context guide provides a
deconstruction of each therapy session so you can recognise how
undiagnosed (or diagnosed) autism may present itself during therapy
and how you can start to explore this in the therapeutic space.
The Headhunting Business is the first detailed investigation of
executive search in Britain: the recruitment of senior-level
businessmen and women by intermediaries acting on behalf of client
companies, popularly known as 'headhunters'. Sweeping aside the
popular mythology surrounding headhunting, this book analyses
exactly how the business works in practice. Dr Jones has
interviewed hundreds of executive search consultants, their clients
and candidates, producing an in-depth anatomy of this vital
business service, now employed by up to 90 per cent of major
British companies, which hardly existed a decade ago. Dr Jones
argues that the top end of the market includes a number of
high-powered, top-quality, creative consultants and reputable and
highly professional firms offering a valuable resource to their
clients. The Headhunting Business looks at: 'The Economics of
Search'; 'The Emergence and Growth of the Headhunting Business ';
'The Nature of Headhunting in Britain in the 1980s'; 'Client and
Candidate Experiences of Headhunting', based on an extensive,
specially designed survey; 'The Headhunting Process'; 'Three
Headhunting Case Studies'; 'The Global Scene', including a section
on headhunting in Europe; 'Headhunting in the Future'; with an
appraisal of leading executive search firms in Britain, and Hints
on How to be Headhunted. It also contains a glossary of jargon and
common expressions in use in the headhunting world today and a
detailed bibliography of books, articles and relevant on-line
material.
A series of biotechnology entrepreneurs - from the USA, the UK and
continental Europe - tell their own stories of how they played a
part in the evolution of the biotechnology companies they founded
and/or now run. This book also looks at the role of venture capital
and other forms of financing through their key stages of growth. A
detailed introduction outlines the emergence of the biotech boom
and its progress to date. This book is designed to be of interest
to students of business. Stephanie Jones is the author of "The
Headhunting Business" and "Working for the Japanese".
In this groundbreaking collection, editors Daina Ramey Berry and
Leslie M. Harris place sexuality at the center of slavery studies
in the Americas (the United States, the Caribbean, and South
America). While scholars have marginalized or simply overlooked the
importance of sexual practices in most mainstream studies of
slavery, Berry and Harris argue here that sexual intimacy
constituted a core terrain of struggle between slaveholders and the
enslaved. These essays explore consensual sexual intimacy and
expression within slave communities, as well as sexual
relationships across lines of race, status, and power. Contributors
explore sexuality as a tool of control, exploitation, and
repression and as an expression of autonomy, resistance, and
defiance.
Basing her research on interviews with over 100 British managers
and executives, the author attempts to reveal what it is really
like to work for a Japanese company. Constant exposure in the media
has produced a number of now cliched beliefs about Japanese
companies in Britain - that they are obsessed with long-term
planning, that they carry out consensus decision-making, that all
the senior positions are filled by Japanese, that all decisions are
made in Tokyo, and that British executives (together with their
Japanese colleagues) are expected to wear uniforms, sing the
company song and do exercises in the morning.
The authors in this edited volume reflect on their experiences with
culturally relevant pedagogy_as students, as teachers, as
researchers_and how these experiences were often at odds with their
backgrounds and/or expectations. Each of the authors speaks to the
complexity and difficulty in attempting to address students'
cultures, create learning experiences with relevance to their lives
and experiences, and enact pedagogies that promote academic
achievement while honoring students. At the same time, every author
shows the clashes and confrontations that can arise between and
among students, teachers, parents, administrators, and educational
policies.

'Whether you are studying leadership, or doing leadership, this is
a rollicking good read, and a fabulously rich book.' - Ken Parry,
Professor of Leadership Studies and co-Director of the Deakin
Leadership Centre, Australia He came to France an immigrant and
left an exile - but, in a career spanning just 35 years, he became
general, consul and emperor. How did Napoleon's name come to be
synonymous with brilliance, legend and glory despite displaying
opportunistic and manipulative tendencies, and repeatedly deserting
those that followed him? 200 years after his defeat, what lessons
can we learn from his successes and his failures? As the world
marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, this
fascinating study on leadership and power tackles the questions
that continue to intrigue and mystify. As now, power was gained and
held by political manipulation, patronage, fear, putsch, charisma,
popular vote and the new idea of meritocracy. Through the inclusion
of Reflections and Questions, Jones and Gosling also highlight some
important lessons for current and future managers and leaders.

In The Biotechnologists, a series of outstanding biotechnology
entrepreneurs - from the USA, the UK and continental Europe - tell
their own stories of how they played a part in the evolution of the
biotechnology companies they founded and/or now run. The book also

through their key stages of growth. A detailed introduction
outlines the emergence of the biotech boom and its progress to

Over 100 British executives have contributed to this study of what
it's really like to work for a Japanese company. Media beliefs
about the Japanese in Britain suggest that they are obsessed with
long-term planning and concensus decision-making, that all the
bosses are Japanese, that all decisions are made in Tokyo, and that
uniforms and exercises are compulsory. Dr Jones' findings question
these 'myths' arguing that the Japanese have shown a remarkable
adaptability to local conditions.
A comprehensive, integrated, and accessible textbook presenting
core neuroscientific topics from a computational perspective,
tracing a path from cells and circuits to behavior and cognition.
This textbook presents a wide range of subjects in neuroscience
from a computational perspective. It offers a comprehensive,
integrated introduction to core topics, using computational tools
to trace a path from neurons and circuits to behavior and
cognition. Moreover, the chapters show how computational
neuroscience-methods for modeling the causal interactions
underlying neural systems-complements empirical research in
advancing the understanding of brain and behavior. The chapters-all
by leaders in the field, and carefully integrated by the
editors-cover such subjects as action and motor control;
neuroplasticity, neuromodulation, and reinforcement learning;
vision; and language-the core of human cognition. The book can be
used for advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses. It
presents all necessary background in neuroscience beyond basic
facts about neurons and synapses and general ideas about the
structure and function of the human brain. Students should be
familiar with differential equations and probability theory, and be
able to pick up the basics of programming in MATLAB and/or Python.
Slides, exercises, and other ancillary materials are freely
available online, and many of the models described in the chapters
are documented in the brain operation database, BODB (which is also
described in a book chapter). Contributors Michael A. Arbib, Joseph
