This timely book offers up-to-date information for both researchers
and decision makers regarding five core areas of Middle Eastern
institutional and cultural context and its role in shaping
business’s strategies and practices in the region. The book is
structured around four broad themes of: a) impact of corporate
social responsibility and its reporting on different outcome
variables related to performance, b) organizational change
strategies, c) market entry strategies for the Middle East, and d)
mergers and acquisitions in the MENA region. The analysis reveals
the state of socio-cultural, historical and economic forces that
shape business operations and management practices and processes in
the region. It also highlights the research work undertaken by
scholars along the above-mentioned themes over the last many
decades in different Middle Eastern countries, what have been the
dominant ideologies of the nations along with their institutional
attributes, which have dictated the dominant management approaches
in the region. The contributions included in the book also offer
guidance for future research. The volume will appeal to
researchers, scholars and students interested in business and
management and corporate social responsibility. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of
International Studies of Management & Organization.

The purpose of this edited collection is to analyse the cultural
aspects of Indian organizations. As the world’s largest and most
diverse democracy, Indian society can be best described as an
amalgam of multiple cultures, value systems, socio-political and
institutional orientations. This book offers a theoretical and
empirical basis for understanding the evolving and changing nature
of these aspects in Indian organizations. The World Bank predicts
that in the near future India will become the world’s second
largest economy. The recent high growth rates reported by
businesses in the Indian economy needs to be sustainable,
especially amidst its high cultural diversity. Whilst there is
tremendous interest in understanding the intricacies of Indian
culture and a growing literature focusing on topics such as
India-specific management and internationalization strategies of
Indian firms, the cultural aspects of Indian businesses have been
largely ignored. This book aims to fill this gap. It covers various
topics in organizational culture and management such as human
resource management, cross-cultural communication and coaching,
cultural similarity, cultural literacy, multiculturalism,
generational cultural values, talent acquisition and knowledge
management. It also features case studies from high growth sectors
such as the IT and health industries. Presenting contributions from
local Indian and international researchers, this book provides a
multidimensional perspective that will appeal to students, scholars
and practitioners interested in organizational culture and
management in India.
This critical introduction to Warner's writings aims to
rehabilitate them from neglect by discussing the development of his
ideas and their problematic relationship with the fictional forms
through which he articulated them--a relationship which deepens his
ostensibly straightforward narratives, and which raises questions
of continuing literary interest.

This book explores how the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted
businesses of all types around the world. It investigates and
consolidates the relationships that businesses have with their key
stakeholders in order to shed light on the complexity of the
challenges and corresponding solutions. The authors identify 12 key
stakeholders and, utilizing the stakeholder theory, argue for a
Dodecahedron shaped stakeholder model being prevalent wherein each
stakeholder group has equal stake in importance and a need for all
to cooperate in their relationships. Featuring examples for each
type of business relationship (e.g., B2B, consumer, government,
stakeholder), this book offers researchers, students, scholars and
policy makers a framework for creating resilience in business
relationships during current and future crises.
This book presents case studies of South Asian companies that have
strategic business implications, highlighting the complex interplay
of business and social dynamics in South Asia. This region is a
wide agglomeration of very different countries that share somewhat
common cultures and issues and yet it is torn apart by religion and
politics. There is an abundance of local entrepreneurship but a
widespread institutional void. The book investigates how local
companies survive and thrive in this environment and discusses
those companies that have withstood the competitive pressure of
MNCs, depicting their management and business practices. In today's
world, where multinationals are so omnipresent that their
management and business practices are considered as the de facto
recipe for success, there is a need to have an alternative view
that challenges the ubiquitousness of multinational management
practices. The case studies in this book focus on the business and
management practices of local organizations in South Asia and thus
provide that alternative viewpoint of how to achieve success in
South Asia. Exposing readers to a local perspective on doing
business in South Asia, it is a valuable resource for students and
practitioners of management.
