Emerging complexities have arisen regarding leadership, leadership studies and leadership development requiring new approaches and new styles of organizational leadership. Changing environmental conditions including globalisation, climate change, increased market volatility, and shifts in the balance of power in the global political economy suggest the need for more creative, interactive and longer-term strategic leadership. In order to address and react to these shifts in understanding, one must review some essential questions: what constitutes leadership in the organisation, what is it...

Over the past few decades, qualitative research in management and business has expanded rapidly. Business and management is set to become - if it is not already - the dominant field within the domain of qualitative research.

This four-volume collection is designed to provide a set of authoritative sources capable of facilitating the development of knowledge and understanding. The collection...

The field of knowledge management emerged as a combination of various disciplines more than a decade ago. Initially, the main focus of both academic and popular publications in the field tended to be on information technology, but now new writers on the role of knowledge are exploring fresh approaches to management, which are holistic rather than functional, and which treat knowledge as an organization's most important source of capital.

Focusing on the epistemology and ontology of knowledge and knowledge creation at team, organizational, and inter-organizational levels, this...

Seminal articles from leading thinkers are drawn together under the umbrella of six key areas and provide a revealing road map through the field of business and management research.

Until the early 1980s, serious academic research on family businesses was sparse, to say the least.

Considered at best an example for how not to manage a business, family business was deemed not worthy of scientific attention. This has changed dramatically over the past three decades and this new Routledge Major Works collection...
