Opis

The management of organisations continues to evolve as new priorities emerge and new approaches are developed. Thus, it is clear that research into business and management will also continue to evolve. This will be in terms of both what is researched and in terms of the techniques and methods used to conduct research. Such development will continue into the future and this book highlights evolving areas. It also suggests new topics which are emerging and new techniques to conduct such research – topics and techniques that will be of benefit to researchers. The unique focus on the future of research methods in management, the emergence of topics in contemporary management and sustainability research and practices, such as sustainability and circular economy, will set this volume apart.

With coverage of new and emerging subjects in management studies such as sustainability, zero carbon, green market, and circular economy, and the international collaboration with contributors from all around the globe, this major interdisciplinary reference volume will be of interest and great value to researchers, academics, and advanced students in the fields of business and management research and appropriate methodologies.

Recenzje

"The Routledge Companion to the Future of Management Research edited by experienced researchers and practitioners D. Crowther and S. Seifi covers theory, practice, and sustainability. It is scientifically sound and provocative, and its models are applicable. It’s a volume that practitioners and researchers should read, think about, and if suitable, apply its models. It is hard not to see that authors of chapters scrutinize important issues of the current and future management research in the shadow of natural and unnatural risks threatening global business." Professor Kristijan Krkač, Ph.D., Zagreb School of Economics and Management
