These two volumes make up the 24th part in a series of monographs whose main topic of concern is that of organizational behaviour and industrial relations. The volumes deal with the multiple levels approach to leadership.

A comparative study of how the current industrial relations systems come to be and of changes in such systems in non-industrialized countries since the 1980s. After an introduction, six essays look at the defusion of the Molotov cocktail in South African industrial relations, colonialism and industrial relations in India, from ostensible voluntaris.

Part B includes the 'contemporary' and 'alternative' approaches to leadership. The contemporary approaches have a more explicit focus on both the leaders and the development of their followers; the three papers in this area demonstrate this subtle shift, covering the nature of charisma, transformational leadership and leader-member exchange. The alternative approaches seem to take a different tack, but demonstrate a blurring of distinctions between approaches. When levels of analysis are taken seriously, narrow approaches that previously focused solely on followers become broader by including leaders and their linkages with followers.
