The Handbook of Feminist Research Methodologies in Management and Organization Studies focuses on the interlinkages between feminist theories, methodologies and research methods. This groundbreaking Handbook analyses classic feminist theoretical texts and their methodological implications as well as topical approaches to management and organization studies, including postcolonial feminism, critical race theory and new feminist materialisms. The book discusses what kind of methodological and methods-related concerns different theoretical approaches call forth and highlights them through empirical examples. Featuring contributions from leading scholars in the field of management and organization studies, the book examines knowledge production through different theoretical perspectives, including standpoint feminism, feminist post-structuralism, postcolonial feminism and queer analysis. Providing a critical and analytical lens through which to view traditional research practices, it offers insight into how to tackle ethical and practical issues related to feminist research. This book is a vital resource for graduate and postgraduate students in management and organization as well as gender and management. It also provides feminist scholars with a comprehensive overview of the contemporary debates in the field. The book is a key resource for any student and scholar engaged in qualitative methodologies and research methods in management, and organization studies and social sciences in general.

This innovative book explores how inclusion can be enhanced in academia by considering the strategic work of expert academics from around the world. It offers a new look at academic work through the accounts of passionate practitioners who have each, in their own ways, made inclusion work. Making Inclusion Work exemplifies how academics can meaningfully engage in inclusive practices in their everyday work. Scholars across the world share their experiences of intervening in curriculum development, teaching and research, and reflect on practices that have worked in local contexts. The authors discuss the process for reading greater inclusion - which begins with an honest appraisal of current local practice. Reflective developers in academic institutions and educational administration will appreciate the unique insights provided by this book. Students interested in diversity and inclusion, academic practices, and autobiographical action-oriented research will also find the contributions invaluable.

Kirjassa käsitellään johtamisen kysymyksiä, jotka tarjoavat aineksia globaalin talouden hahmottamiseen ihmisten välistä kanssakäymistä ja vuorovaikutusta syvällisesti ymmärtämällä. Vastaukset näihin kysymyksiin avaavat kytköksiä teknologioiden, rahan, kulttuureiden, median ja ympäristön kantokyvyn välillä.Kirja antaa ideoita koronapandemiassa ja sen jälkimainingeissa ajankohtaiseen talouden uudelleenarviointiin ja vastuulliseen organisaatioiden ja yhteiskuntien jälleenrakentamiseen. Se luo informatiivisen, selkokielisen ja kokonaisvaltaisen hahmotuksen siitä, missä ja miten johtaminen nykyisin tapahtuu, miten nykytilanteeseen on tultu ja mihin ollaan menossa. Kirja avaa johtamisen keskeisiä osa-alueita strategian, johtajuuden ja vastuullisuuden kysymysten kautta, ja rakentaa niihin erilaisia näkökulmia.Globaalissa taloudessa kilpailu, mitattavuus, kustannukset ja tuotot tunkeutuvat ihmisten elämän eri alueille. Yhteiskuntia sävyttävät turhautuminen ja kansallistunteen nousu. Samalla kaikille maailman ihmisille yhteiset vastuullisuuteen liittyvät haasteet ja ratkaisut korostuvat. Ihmisten ympäristöä kuluttava toiminta on kriittisen tarkastelun alla ja sosiaaliseen eriarvoisuuteen kiinnitetään huomiota. Liiketoiminnassa ja johtamisessa ei ole tarjolla yksinkertaisia vastauksia ja ratkaisuja.Kirja on tarkoitettu kaikille johtamisesta kiinnostuneille. Opintoja harkitsevat tai opintonsa aloittaneet opiskelijat saavat kohtaamiinsa kysymyksiin ja vastauksiin selvennyksiä ja uusia virikkeitä. Erilaisissa organisaatioissa toimivat ihmiset, jotka ovat kyllästyneet ”temppukirjoihin”, saavat tuoreita aineksia ajattelunsa ja toimintansa kehittämiseen.
