Social EntrepreneurshipAn Affirmative CritiqueEdited by Pascal Dey, Grenoble Ecole de Management, France and University of St. Gallen and Chris Steyaert, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland‘Pascal Dey and Chris Steyaert have composed a conceptual assemblage that problematizes “social entrepreneurship” and opens up a space for transforming our understanding of what it means to engage in social transformation. The affirmative critique neither accepts what is given, nor simply rejects it. The chapters in Social Entrepreneurship instead invite us to explore the limits of our capitalist understanding of “social entrepreneurship” and inspire us to reinvent it as a space and practice of potential transformation in the context of democracy and our responsibilities in the Anthropocene.’

– Richard Weiskopf, University of Innsbruck, Austria

‘This is a pioneering book for anyone who wants to make sense of what entrepreneurship is (not just social entrepreneurship) as a phenomenon and as a field of study. So, while the book is ostensibly about social entrepreneurship – all entrepreneurship is inherently social – and, therefore, while the book offers various insightful and critical assessments of social entrepreneurship (as myth, ideology, politic, power, enacted, participated, related and possible – just a few of the categories explored), it also garners enlightening discernment across all aspects of entrepreneurship, itself. A much needed reflection that would be very valuable for all entrepreneurship scholars.’

– William B. Gartner, Babson College, US

Handbook of Research Methods in Diversity Management, Equality and Inclusion at WorkEdited by Lize A.E. Booysen, Antioch University, US and University of Johannesburg, South Africa, Regine Bendl, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria and Judith K. Pringle, University of Auckland, New Zealand‘Despite the depth and volume of research on diversity in organizations, very little attention is given to research methods. The Handbook of Research Methods on Diversity Management, Equality and Inclusion at Work breaks new ground, providing a comprehensive volume of not just methods but also the social and political context in which diversity research is embedded. Particularly impressive is the “diversity” of epistemological perspectives so critical to today’s global and transnational context.’

– Stella Nkomo, University of Pretoria, South Africa

Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) have become features of organizations as a result of both legal and societal advances, as well as neoliberal economic reasoning and considerations. Current research approaches frequently fall short of addressing the challenges faced in EDI research, and this benchmark Handbook brings up to date coverage of research methods in EDI, and advances the development of research in the field.

Disclosing Entrepreneurship as PracticeThe Enactive ApproachBengt Johannisson, Linnaeus University, Sweden‘In his new book, Bengt Johannisson develops the concept of entrepreneurship as practice (entrepreneuring). The contribution is original, relevant and valuable for both researchers and practitioners. The book’s objectives appear particularly important. The first is to provide the intellectual/theoretical foundations for our understanding of entrepreneuring. The second objective is to offer a methodology that can enhance the dialogue between researchers and practitioners. As Kurt Lewin claimed, there is nothing more practical than a good theory. Thanks to the author this statement makes sense in entrepreneurship.’

– Alain Fayolle, Emlyon Business School, France

Some contemporary practice theories are not well suited to studying entrepreneurship as ongoing creative organizing. In order to catch the emergence of entrepreneurship, the scholar has to adopt a dwelling mode and immerse themselves into the concrete doings, the practices, of ‘entrepreneuring’, thus amalgamating the researcher and entrepreneur identities.

Research Handbook on Gender and InnovationEdited by Gry Agnete Alsos, Nord University Business School, Norway, Ulla Hytti, University of Turku, Finland and Elisabet Ljunggren, Nord University, Norway‘Gender and innovation are seldom discussed together because innovation is considered a neutral construct. This book examines aspects of gender in innovation across multiple contexts, entrepreneurial businesses, organizations, policy and design, that for the first time highlights where gender matters in innovation. This book will stimulate important research going forward.’

An Autecological Theory of the Firm and its EnvironmentColin Jones, Queensland University of Technology and Gimme Walter, University of Queensland, Australia‘An Autecological Theory of the Firm and its Environment posits many important challenges to how social scientists can properly understand organizational adaptation, evolution, and survival.

Anyone concerned about democratic standards and accountable governance will find this book a must-read.’

New Themes in Institutional AnalysisTopics and Issues from European ResearchEdited by Georg Krücken, University of Kassel, Germany, Carmelo Mazza, University of Malta, Renate E. Meyer, WU Vienna, Austria and Peter Walgenbach, Friedrich Schiller University of Jena, GermanyInstitutional theory has become one of the dominant organizational approaches in recent decades. Its roots can be traced to Europe, and an important intellectual objective of this book is to examine North American theory strands and reconnect them with European research traditions. In addition, this book focuses on how organizations and individuals handle heterogeneous and challenging social conditions which are subsequently reflected in various forms of change.

KEY TITLES

Elgar Introduction to Organizational Discourse AnalysisMarco Berti, University of Technology Sydney, Australia‘Research on organizational discourse has indeed become one of the most fruitful and interesting areas in the field of organization and management studies, and has not only improved our understanding of how communication works, but also helps to “see” how discourses shape reality. The book introduces three “images” of discourse with the purpose of both illustrating and enabling the emergence of new knowledge and meaning: organizational discourse as a map, as organizing and as a mask. Moreover it provides a concrete exemplification of an application of organizational discourse analysis: the global institution of business education. The heuristic potential of the approach is employed to critically describe a complex inter-organizational field of practices relevant to how we “do” society through discourses.’

– Silvia Gherardi, University of Trento, Italy

Our knowledge and understanding of organizations is both enabled and constrained by an invisible relationship of power that is embedded in the ways in which we act and speak. This book offers a succinct but comprehensive introduction to the vast field of organizational discourse analysis, the approach that studies organization as a linguistic phenomenon, and offers an original approach to investigate the relationship between materiality and discourse.

Any new book by Karin Brunsson and Nils Brunsson is a welcome treat, and this one is a gem!’

Origins of OrganizingEdited by Tuomo Peltonen, Åbo Akademi University, Finland, Hugo Gaggiotti, University of the West of England and Peter Case, University of the West of England, UK and James Cook University, Australia‘We need to reflect upon the historical origins of organizing that extend far further than people usually think. This reflection must be critical and open to alternative histories and explanations. Origins of Organizing does just that. This book offers fascinating insights not only for those interested in organization and management history or critically oriented management and organizational studies, but for anyone engaged with organization theory or management practice, seeking for a deeper understanding of what organizing is all about. This is because the book is compiled and written in a reflexive manner that does not offer one truth but a number of perspectives that help to enrich our understanding of organizing and its various origins.’

A Research Agenda for Management and Organization StudiesEdited by Barbara Czarniawska, University of Gothenburg, Sweden‘Editing collective works is demanding but can be equally or more rewarding than writing an entire book alone. Czarniawska, in this case, had no choice: she alone could not have written the agenda of the whole field. Thus she played the role of the editor, and did so in an exemplary way, carefully choosing the contributors, conceiving the right structure and managing to draw from each author pieces or tiles, which resulted in an extraordinary mosaic: a complete and bright vista of what the field of management and organization studies is today and will become in the future.’

Field Guide to Leadership DevelopmentEdited by Steve Kempster, Lancaster University Management School, Arthur F. Turner, University of the West of England and University of South Wales and Gareth Edwards, University of the West of England, UK‘This practical, creative and engaging guide brings experiential leadership development firmly into the 21st Century. The exercises involving planks, barrels and ropes that characterised a generation of outdoor (and indoor) leadership education have been replaced by a conceptually rigorous and effective range of approaches founded on principles of reflection, theory, and practice. With chapters by leading authorities in the field, this book provides an invaluable resource for both new and experienced leadership and management educators that will enrich and enhance any intervention.’

Social Functions of Emotion and Talking About Emotion at WorkEdited by Dirk Lindebaum, Cardiff University, UK, Deanna Geddes, Temple University, US and Peter J. Jordan, Griffith University, AustraliaWhat novel theoretical insights can be gleaned by comparing our theoretical understanding of emotion in relation to how we ‘talk about’ emotion at work? Drawing from psychological and sociological thinking, leading emotion researchers respond to this question for ten common and powerful emotions at work. The chapters detail various conditions under which our study of emotions and our talk about them can be at odds or reinforce each other in organizations, and how these differences impact subsequent consequences for organizations and their members.

The Unfinished Business of GovernanceMonitoring and Regulating Industries and OrganizationsAlexander Styhre, University of Gothenburg, SwedenThe Unfinished Business of Governance provides an overview of the changing landscape of governance and focuses on the three specific domains of corporate governance, university governance, and market governance. The book examines how changes in competitive capitalism and the wider social organization of society is recursively both determined by, and actively shaping underlying governance ideals and their practices. The shared theme in the various changes of the governance system is that free market theory and ideologies have gradually penetrated governance practices.

How to Keep Your Research Project on TrackInsights from When Things Go WrongEdited by Keith Townsend, Griffith University, Australia and Mark N.K. Saunders, University of Birmingham, UK‘Stories of the conception, undertaking and writing of research projects can be as valuable as the books, theses and papers themselves. But we tend to suppress or side-line these stories, especially when projects deviate from planned, expected or approved paths. This richly detailed and entertaining book provides much-needed openness about the agonies of real-world research, such as failure to gain access to research sites, data being lost, unworkable ethical governance frameworks, breakdowns in professional relationships, inabilities to find the words, and those “what the hell just happened?” moments that can ambush even the most seasoned field researcher. This book is an indispensable guide to the twists and turns of the research journey, from the initial ideas scrawled on the back of a beer mat to the publishing of a major academic work.’

Emancipation Through Emotion Regulation at WorkDirk Lindebaum, Cardiff University, UK‘In the current surge of organizational theory research on emotions in organizations, Dirk Lindebaum’s book makes a unique and important contribution. He identifies and explores how workers’ emotions are being abused as a tool of social repression by our bosses. In bringing together critical theory and theory on emotion regulation, he stimulates us to see through the workings of managerial power and, in the same go, offers ways to resist repressive emotional conditions in the workplace. A remarkable accomplishment that deserves to be read for both its theoretical insights and practical relevance!’

Näsholm and Tomas Blomquist, Umeå School of Business and Economics, Sweden‘This book provides an important contribution on the links between urban planning and other types of organizing work performed in the name of the “creative city”. Further, it also highlights the daunting challenges associated with attempting to realize highly ambitious ideals of decentralized co-creation, empowering a plethora of heterogeneous actors, in a manner that does not sell short democratic transparency and accountability.’

The book provides case-analysis of how trust is formed through processes of social interaction in which actors observe, reflect upon and make sense of trust behaviour and its meaning in an organizational and social environment.

A Guide to Discursive Organizational PsychologyEdited by Chris Steyaert, Julia Nentwich and Patrizia Hoyer, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland‘Discursive approaches to issues such as creativity and participation are well established in management and organization studies but are much less developed in the field of organizational psychology. This book fills this gap in a timely and informative manner, providing much-needed insights into how language does not simply represent the social world, but actively produces it. This book illustrates how the “turn to language” in the social sciences can be usefully applied to the field of organizational psychology.’
