This book provides cutting edge research and knowledge and an academic study of the impact of globalisation in different areas affecting management and how management is responding. It gives a comprehensive analysis of what is actually happening and likely future trends. It is not just a focus on ''convergence'' arguments, but integrates a broader view of still remaining regional and national differences in management and organisation. The book draws on new theoretical approaches in the field of international business, highlighting areas such as Anglo-German subsidiaries of MNCs, HRM practices and change management processes or employment relations in US-based MNCs in Europe and many other aspects.

A new take on the meaning of children''s rights. The book shows how human rights are actually human needs, which form a social immune system that keeps the illnesses of maltreatment in check. Without those needs being met, our development as human beings becomes distorted. The only real way to meet these basic needs for children is to meet these needs for the rest of the family too. "Child" is a euphemism for the true human identity in all of us. We heal our own inner child in tandem with witnessing and allowing health in the younger ones.This book gives a groundbreaking solution to the problems of child maltreatment. If you have ever imagined our world without child abuse, this is your book.
