'Mind expanding! Being successful in today's global competitive world requires 'out of the box' thinking and strategy. This book gives the leaders of today and tomorrow tools to break out of routines and use imagination, play and spontaneity to build organizations and businesses for the future. From personal experience with these ideas I know Thinking from Within has the potential to transform people, businesses and organizations.' - Jens Moberg, Vice President, Microsoft Cooperation Strategy practice has become synonymous with strategic thinking, and ideally thinking while sitting around a table. Thinking from Within is a tribute to the idea that strategy should be practised in ways that fuel our minds by engaging our bodies in new ways. When we do strategy rather than think strategy, we engage our senses so that we describe, create and challenge what we know in ways that pure intellectual reasoning cannot. This book describes and illustrates the ideas and activities that can help leaders transform strategy into a more imaginative, reflective and responsible practice.

138mm x 216mm In this timely book, political scientist Mark Duckenfield explores how British and German business associations formed their political attitudes towards Economic and Monetary Union from 1988 through 1998. He makes the provocative argument that business associations are not mere transmission belts for their members' economic interests, rather, they are political entities in their own right. Consequently they act strategically in order to promote their members specific interests and are particularly attentive to the configuration of partisan political forces in their national legislatures.

In recent years, the arts, and in particular public sector arts organizations, have faced considerable changes as a result of shifting patterns of cultural consumption, new technologies and administrative processes. Based on extensive field research, this book explores the changes in arts organizations that have been driven by the crisis of the welfare state and the privatization of public entities. It presents a critical analysis of the tensions between managerial rhetoric and professional practices that characterize the arts sector, and questions the extension of managerial rhetoric for the very survival of arts organizations.

This book recommends and examines the various approaches to incorporating an accurate measure of risk into the appraisal of an international investment. It considers the way in which decisions on international investment projects are taken and how they should be. It critiques and integrates existing theories, including the global capital asset pricing rule of financial theory, theories of strategy making and the real options approach, to show how risk should be incorporated into the present value formula and its various elements to produce a clear decision rule.

The question of work-life balance and the difficulties of managing multiple roles is attracting considerable interest. This international collection broadens the focus of these debates and presents recent research findings that will further stimulate theoretical development and empirical studies. While much previous research has focused on the challenges faced by working mothers, the research presented in this collection introduces perspectives that have not been widely included in previous work in the field, such as the voice of children, the challenges that students face, the role of both employers and unions and how different occupational groups experience work-life balancing strategies.

Theoretical approaches to the management of organizational knowledge abound. Yet there are few guidelines as to how to implement a systematic approach to the management of organizational knowledge. This drawback seems all the more surprising given that organizations are moving from the hierarchical, integrated, discrete corporate entities of the past to multidimensional, interwoven network structures with blurred boundaries. This book redresses the balances and provides a practical manual for the systematic management and measurement of knowledge networks, with case studies from companies such as Unilever, Hewlett Packard, Daimler-Chrysler and Lotus.
