Focusing on children's citizenship, participation and rights, this
edited collection draws on the work of a number of leading scholars
in the sociology of childhood. The contributors explore a range of
themes including: tensions between pragmatism and grand theory;
revisiting agency/structure debates in the light of children; the
challenging of binary thought prevalent in studies around
'generations' and other aspects of sociology; the manifestation of
power in time and space; the application of theories into the
'real' world through NGOs, practitioners, policy makers,
politicians and empirical research. The collection will be of
interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines
including childhood studies, sociology, politics and social policy,
as well as policy makers and practitioners interested in the
citizenship, rights and participation of children.
To be successful, business leaders should be familiar with the
emerging digital technologies that are contributing to the global
business environment. All leaders must develop fresh capabilities
if they are to successfully direct their communities through the
emerging era of social digital connectivity and global dynamic
complexity. Impact of Emerging Digital Technologies on Leadership
in Global Business combines relevant theoretical and practical
frameworks with the latest research and best practices regarding
emergent digital technologies. This book is an essential reference
source for professionals, researchers, academics, and students who
want to improve their understanding of the strategic role of
emerging digital technologies in the success of global business.
Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development in
Emerging Economies is an anthology of seven case studies plus two
theoretical chapters in a comparative context. It analyzes issues
related to the rise of multinational corporations, their immense
economic and political influence in a globalized world, and their
social responsibility/corporate citizenship. Corporate social
responsibility is closely examined in terms of meeting the
challenges of the widening gap between rich and poor, relationships
with sovereign states, environmental degradation, exploitation of
natural resources, labor practices, and human rights issues in
societies in which multinational corporations operate. Are these
corporations exempt from social roles and accountable to only their
shareholders (the minimalist position propounded by economists such
as Milton Friedman ), or do they also have ethical and social
responsibilities to participate in improving the quality of human
lives in impoverished societies in Africa , Asia and Latin America?
Developing and Leading Emergence Teams describes a future business
landscape that seems to be complicated, complex and chaotic, in
almost equal measures. The variety and diversity of the
environments within which large organizations will be seeking to
operate, require a similar variety of systems, process and
structures if they are to respond successfully to emerging
opportunities. The established models of teamworking (matrix,
cross-functional or transdisciplinary) can all adapt to this new
environment but will only do so if the culture, leadership and
management style of the business enables this. The authors describe
a model of emergence teams; high-trust teams that exhibit
exceptional affinity for knowledge sharing, sense making, and
consensus building. They then explore the specifics of leading such
a team, how the team leader should: design the team; interact and
facilitate the team's development; understand the personal nature
of each of the team members and the overall emotional regime that
will affect trust, commitment and motivation. Peter Smith and Tom
Cockburn draw on research and detailed case examples to provide
techniques your organization can adopt in order to build and
support the various teams capable of addressing complexity.
As global business systems are becoming ever more complex and they
continue to grow and expand, it is increasingly more difficult to
stand out as an effective and efficient leader. Dynamic Leadership
Models for Global Business: Enhancing Digitally Connected
Environments describes various models on how to become an
outstanding leader in today s rapidly growing global business
environments. This book seeks to provide positive instruction which
illuminates a practical path to becoming a successful leader in
such large and competitive markets. The approach is consistent with
any existing leadership development program, or it may be
undertaken as an individual initiative.

Leaders must develop new governance models and capabilities if they
are to successfully steer their communities through the whitewater
rapids of the newly emerging era of social digital connectivity and
global dynamic complexity. This new edited book deals with
perspectives, debates and case studies illustrating the dynamic
complexity of corporate governance in global business now and in
future. These are pivotal matters with which leaders and
stakeholders must become familiar if they are to be successful in
the network age where there are indicators of 'democratization'
trends, rising levels of 'shareability' amongst groups of
'prosumers', wider accessibility to information enabling greater
scrutiny and accountability or regulation as well as greater
surveillance at all organizational levels. With enhanced
communication, there are other perceived shifts in political and
economic power blocs. This new book indicates specifically how
leaders may recognize, review, unlearn old or unhelpful ways of
working, the better to reframe the vision and learn new ways to
react to these new factors.
