SynopsisAdvances in Mergers and Acquisitions stands out from the competition due to its focus on three key characteristics: studies fromscholars in different countries, with different research questions, relying on different theoretical perspectives. Such a broad andinclusive approach to mergers and acquisitions is not easily replicated in academic journals, with much narrower mandates andmetrics. The chapters published in this volume provide cutting edge ideas by leading scholars, and help to inform mergers andacquisitions research around the world.

Dewey and Education in the21st Century: Fighting BackEditors

Ruth Heilbronn Ruth Heilbronn UCL Institute of Education, UKUCL Institute of Education, UK

Christine Doddington Christine Doddington University of Cambridge, UKUniversity of Cambridge, UK

Rupert Higham Rupert Higham UCL Institute of Education, UKUCL Institute of Education, UK

SynopsisThis book makes a strong case for the abiding relevance of Dewey’s notion of learning through experience, with a community ofothers and what this implies for democratic education in the 21st century. It’s first section addresses the experience of today’sgeneration of so-called ‘digital natives’ in terms of how we should now understand ‘knowledge’ and how their online experiencecreates opportunities and challenges for the curriculum, such as schools linking internationally to study classical texts; an expositionof why makerspaces, hackerspaces and Fab Labs might support Dewey’s democratic communities in our time, with on-lineaffordances of ‘a commons’, a space to use imagination and invent and share with others.

The book’s second section is original in its focus on the central Deweyan idea of ‘embodiment’ with chapters on Dewey and theAlexander technique and on experiences of Afro-American students, in public schools, especially those situated in multi-racial, multi-ethnic countries like the U.S. with deep, racial divides and tensions. The section ends with a chapter on the somaesthetic,educational value of learning outside of buildings.

A third section on experience related to democracy and education, has chapters on Dewey and the democratic curriculum,experience as a preparation for democracy, communication and the critique of individualism. Dewey’s notion of interest is analyzedand questioned as to whether it is a sympathetic notion for educational development.

With contributions from Spain, Cameroon, the US and the UK the book ranges across varied curricular and policy contexts to explorewhat reading Dewey can contribute to contemporary education studies.

SynopsisThe Business and Society (BAS) 360 book series is an annual publication targeting cutting-edge developments in the broad businessand society field, such as stakeholder management, corporate social responsibility and citizenship, business ethics, sustainability,corporate governance and others. Each volume will feature a comprehensive discussion and review of the current “state” of theresearch and theoretical developments in a specific business and society area. For instance, volume two focuses on research drawn from work grounded in “corporate social responsibility” and “corporatecitizenship.” Scholars known in this discipline contribute to a 360-degree evaluation of the theory, including cross-discipline research,empirical explorations, cross-cultural studies, literature critiques, and meta-analysis projects.As business and society is an inherently multi-disciplinary scholarly area, the book series will draw from work in areas outside ofbusiness and management, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, religious studies, economics and other related fields, as wellas the natural sciences, education, and other professional areas of study. This book series should appeal to wide range of readers – from emerging and senior business school educators researching andteaching in the business and society field to doctoral and masters level students across the business, social sciences and naturalsciences seeking to learn about this multi-discipline and sustained field of management study. Business executives and managerscould benefit from reading how the business and society field began, the path it has taken and the new, emerging directions thatscholars envision for the field.

Synopsis

This volume includes six varied contributions to the study of visual ethics in organizations. The implications of our visual world fororganizational life and personal behaviour have received scant research attention. This volume sets out to address that lack ofresearch. It includes contributions on empirical studies, film, personal portraits, social research using the photovoice method,bureaucracy and critical theory. Contributors show how the application of disciplines developed for the study of films can help us tounderstand how organizations are perceived, and how visual images can be used in empirical research about organizations, ethicsand organizational citizenship behaviour. Some say philosophy has abandoned art, some that humans lack moral vision. A numberof contributors show how a careful and informed study of art can enhance our understanding of organizational life. This volumeseeks to put the visual back into ethics and organizations.

SynopsisThe concept of hybridity, although well developed in various research areas, is relatively new in the management field, where“organisational hybridity” refers to organisations that combine managerial features, value systems and institutional logics of differentsectors (market, state, civil society). Hybrid organisations have traditionally been compared with private, public and non-profit ones,by considering goal ambiguity, governance, organisational structures, personnel and purchasing processes, and work-relatedattitudes and values. This research has led to substantial evidence on relevant differences between hybrid and other organisations.Hybridisation has also become a permanent feature in today’s welfare system. New Public Management and welfare state reformsof the mid 1990s contributed to the emergence of hybrid organisations, with neo-institutional theory also attributed to thisphenomenon.

Considering the hybrid phenomenon as a whole, little is known about governance and controls, especially with regard toaccountability mechanisms and issues such as the prevention of corruption. Even less is known when we consider the mainvariables of hybridity to be mixed ownership, competing institutional logics, multiplicity of funding arrangements, and public andprivate forms of financial and social control.

This book seeks to answer the unsolved questions related to hybrid organisations. It does so by adopting a multifaceted approachalong its ten chapters, which focus on different national contexts, including the UK, Italy, Australia, and Sweden, as well as globalorganisations. The authors consider policy sectors including humanitarian aid, local transport, healthcare, and welfare services.

How Social Science Can HelpUs Make Better Choices:Optimal Rationality in ActionEmerald PointsEmerald Points

Author

Chris Brown Chris Brown University of Portsmouth, UKUniversity of Portsmouth, UK

SynopsisIn a world beset with problems, how can we encourage people to act differently? It seems almost daily that new studies emergetelling us how human action is causing planetary degradation, how changes to our diets could lead to us living longer healthier lives,or that financially we are in danger of returning to the debt related crises of the previous decade. At the same time how many of usadjust our behaviour in response to such information?

In this new book Professor Chris Brown explores people’s reactions to Optimal Rational Positions: propositions that set outrequirements for change. For example the need to reduce carbon emissions to minimize the impacts of climate change is anOptimal Rational Position; as is the need to engage in 30 minutes of exercise a day, to eat more healthily or to drink less alcohol. Itseems obvious that we should want to pursue Optimal Rational Positions because they espouse the types of behaviours that willenable us to live healthier, happier or more productive lives; that can improve the lives and outcomes of others; or that can help usensure social and environmental sustainability. Yet at the same time we often fail to change our behaviours to those which might bemost optimal. Outlining an exciting and innovative route forward, and with real-life case studies from education, How Social ScienceCan Help Us Make Better Choices provides a new way to think about why people make the choices they make and, vitally, the rolesocial science can play in response.

SynopsisWhat are hybrid media events? Who make them and what kind of purposes they serve in contemporary societies? This bookaddresses these questions by re-thinking media events in the contemporary digital media environment saturated by intensifiedcirculation of radical violence. The empirical analyses draw on the investigation of Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris, in 2015 and theglobal responses those attacks stirred in the global media audience.

This book provides a new way of thinking about the idea of the hybrid in global media events. The book gives special emphasis tothe hybrid dynamics between the different actors, platforms and messages in such events. The book explains how global newsmedia, terrorists and political elites interact with ordinary media users in social media. It demonstrates how tweets such as “Je suisCharlie” circulate from one digital media platform to another and what kind of belongings are created in those circulations during thetimes of distraction. In addition, the book examines how emotions, speed of communication and fight for attention becomehybridized in the digital media. All these aspects, the authors argue, shape the ways in which in global media events are made senseof in the present digital age.

The authors invite readers to critically reflect the technological, economical, political and socio-cultural challenges connected withtoday’s global media events and the ethical encounters they may entail.

Mastering Brexits Through TheAges: EntrepreneurialInnovators and Small Firms -The Catalysts for SuccessAuthors

Nigel Culkin Nigel Culkin University of Hertfordshire, UKUniversity of Hertfordshire, UK

Richard Simmons Richard Simmons Global Investor, Saudi ArabiaGlobal Investor, Saudi Arabia

SynopsisBrexit is arguably the most significant UK foreign and economic policy event since at least 1945. Opinion is bitterly divided betweenwhether to leave, when to leave, how to leave and even on what Brexit is. Mastering Brexits Through the Ages: EntrepreneurialInnovators and Small Firms - The Catalysts for Success explores these dynamics through the lens of three previous 'Brexits' – the endof Roman Britain, the Henrician Reformation, and the Elizabethan age. Using multiple historical epithets, it illuminates insights intoinnovation needs, smaller firm growth, previous step change events and related economic understanding. This book paints a broadpicture of possible UK post-Brexit landscapes.

Echoing an earlier European Treaty (Versailles, 1919), fourteen action points that can contribute to mitigating downside risks andmaking post Brexit UK a leading force in the Global Economy are identified. At all times, dynamic entrepreneurs and small companiesare at the centre of the narrative.

This book is both a key contribution to understanding implementation risks and to identifying what a 'winning' post-Brexit UKeconomy should look like. Drawing on extensive research, the book identifies the strategic framework and associated practicalmeasures needed to realise a positive outcome. It concurrently analyses Brexit mythology through carefully unpicking anddemystifying complexities, anticipated Brexit risks, impacts, implications and unknowns. A book for academics, policy makers,advisers and interested bystanders alike.
