Dictums from management pleading employees to return to the office are highly subjective. There remains a conspicuous absence of a rigorous understanding for both employers and employees to provide a framework for identifying best practice and how the opportunities can be best synergised.The authors’ longitudinal research on traditional frameworks and practices on flexible working they had begun long before Covid-19 serious shortcomings in job design and ways of working how organisations utilise their people.New Approaches to Flexible Working presents a new framework that explores the perspectives of employers and employees in the changing world of work.

New Approaches to Mergers and Acquisitions explores the dynamic and often unpredictable world of corporate growth through alliances, mergers, and acquisitions.

From corporate takeovers to public sector integrations, the book examines a wide array of real-world cases, demonstrating how organisations of all sizes—from multinational corporations to small businesses—grapple with the complexities of consolidation.With practical approaches, structured methodologies, and client-based case studies, New Approaches to Mergers and Acquisitions offers a fresh perspective on achieving sustainable business integration.

Current recruitment and selection practices are essentially a cloning process which seeks to match applicants with the current corporate culture of the hiring organisation. This ignores applicants with different points of view, differing value systems and career aspirations. Authors Fons Trompenaars and Peter Woolliams explore the idea that, while all organisations should develop and promote their core values, the application of them needs to be revisited.New Approaches to Recruitment and Selection presents a new framework that compares current corporate cultures with the evolving value systems of current and potential employees. The authors believe that applicants should match the organization’s needs and explore how different categories of applicants can enrich the organisation whilst providing full engagement.The authors’ longitudinal research on traditional frameworks and practices shows that while companies strive to be objective, they are rarely free of cultural bias. They identify serious shortcomings in how organisations utilise their people. While most organisations are implementing a wide range of policies and programmes to identify and eliminate pay inequalities, and improve their attractiveness to women and minorities, great change has not materialised.Each volume in this series will explore failing established models and propose new conceptual frameworks with practical approaches. International case studies enrich the arguments and findings.Purchase of this book includes exclusive access to app-based content, enabling readers to explore the application of specific concepts in further detail.
