This progressive -volume introduces the concept of smart power in
management, bringing contemporary humanistic values to the power
dynamics of organizations and businesses. The chapters review
sociopolitical, economic, and technological conditions fueling the
recent shift in ideas about power in management, from the
globalization of business to young workers' motivation regarding
their jobs and careers. Contributors examine a range of models,
processes, and frameworks for planning and implementing smart power
across diverse organizations, with accompanying challenges and
caveats. In its theory and examples, the book makes a cogent case
for the shift from traditional hard power, with its winner takes
all culture and potential for abuses, to a more creative and
democratic model. Included in the coverage: * The power of change
and the need to change power: changing perception of power in the
organizational setting. * The dynamics of Information and
Communication Technologies and smart power: implications for
managerial practice. * Economic growth, management, and smart
power. * New Ways of Working: from smart to shared power. *
Positive psychological capital: from strengths to power. *
Narcissistic leadership in organizations: a two-edged sword.
Redefining management : Smart power perspectives is proactive
reading for students in professional and business-related academic
fields (e.g., organizational behavior, sociology, and business and
management), and for managers at all organizational levels. The
book is a harbinger of transformative possibilities shaping the
management landscape to come.
Star clusters are at the heart of astronomy, being key objects for
our understanding of stellar evolution and galactic structure.
Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope and other modern
equipment have revealed fascinating new facts about these galactic
building blocks. This book provides two comprehensive and
up-to-date, pedagogically designed reviews on star clusters by two
well-known experts in the field. Bruce Carney presents our current
knowledge of the relative and absolute ages of globular clusters
and the chemical history of our Galaxy. Bill Harris addresses
globular clusters in external galaxies and their use as tracers of
galaxy formation and cosmic distance indicators. The book is
written for graduate students as well as professionals in astronomy
and astrophysics.

This wide-ranging review of human resources management (HRM) in
Asia draws attention to issues which are substantially different
from those which a Western-trained manager or student would expect.
Intra-regional issues are examined and, in an unusual approach,
topics are organised thematically, rather than by the more typical
country-by-country approach.
