Minority Women EntrepreneursHow Outsider Status Can Lead to Better Business PracticesMary Godwyn and Donna StoddardThough minority women entrepreneurs in the United States are thriving, their sto-ries are very seldom told, and few think of minority women as successful entrepreneurs. Minority Women Entrepreneurs gives voice and visibility to this group of business owners.

“Rich in resources and insights, this book tells the fascinating stories of a diverse group of successful minority business women who combine doing well with doing good . It shows that women who become entrepreneurs are often guided by caring values—providing impetus for a more caring way of living and a more caring way of earning a living for us all .”

Strategy

Enduring SuccessWhat We Can Learn from the History of Outstanding CorporationsChristian StadlerEnduring Success addresses a key question in business today: How can companies succeed over time? To learn the source of enduring greatness, author Christian Stadler directed a team of eight researchers in a six-year study of some of Europe’s oldest and most stellar companies, targeting nine that have survived for more than 100 years and have significantly outperformed the market over the past fifty years.

“Without understanding the les-sons of history, we are doomed to repeat them . Enduring Suc-cess provides well-reasoned grounding in those lessons in a world that is increasingly turbulent and risky, and where the longer term view is more important than ever .”

—Chris Zook, Head of Global Strategy Practice, Bain

& Company, bestselling author of Profit from the Core


Corporate CultureThe Ultimate Strategic AssetEric G. Flamholtz and Yvonne RandleIn this book, Flamholtz and Randle define culture, identifying and explaining the five key dimensions that determine it: a cus-tomer orientation; a people

orientation; a process orientation; strong standards of performance and accountability; innovation and openness to change. They explain why culture is a criti-cal factor in organizational success and failure—a key determinant of financial performance.

“eric flamholtz and Yvonne Randle provide a new understand-ing of the need to not just assess corporate culture, but to actively manage culture toward the end of improved perfor-mance . In doing so, they create an innovative, uniquely com-prehensive framework to guide business leaders .”

—Jeff Cornwall, President, USASBE, and Director, Center for Entrepreneurship and the Jack C. Massey Chair of Entrepreneurship, Belmont University

“This book is a scholarly and original milestone in the literature on cultural management in corporations—a ‘hot topic’ at a time when firms seek new ways to survive and grow .”

—Paul Stonham, Professor, ESCP Europe

“I would highly recommend this book as a valuable tool for all managers and teams . It will help one overcome challenges and grow as a leader . The real-world examples provide insight on how to manage corporate culture and create a sustainable competitive advantage that drives results .”

—Eric Schiffer, CEO of 99 Only Stores (a NYSE company)

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility

Embedded SustainabilityThe Next Big Competitive AdvantageChris Laszlo and Nadya Zhexembayeva We are in the midst of a sea-change. In years past, corpo-rate social responsibility may have been seen as a feather in a corporation’s cap but, today, ecological and social pressures

require a new type of business response. In Embedded Sustainability, authors Chris Laszlo and Nadya Zhexem-bayeva convincingly show how companies can better lever-age global challenges for enduring profit and growth.

“smart leaders will quickly seize on laszlo and Zhexembayeva’s blueprint for embedded sustainability as the foundation for the new economic logic of competitive advantage . embedded sus-tainability is the essential discipline for market leaders .”

—Mason Carpenter, M. Keith Weikel Professor of Leadership, University of Wisconsin–Madison

Innovation and Technology in the World Economy

Restoring the Innovative EdgeDriving the Evolution of Science and TechnologyJerald Hage

“Presents a novel contribution to our understanding of how to create innovative organizations within a fiercely competitive international environment . This book will influence the debate on how to upgrade national competitiveness .”

—Steven Casper, Henry E. Riggs Professor of

Management, Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences

“Hage has written a masterful and unique book . He has taken on an incredibly important topic—national and firm com-petitiveness—and has created a volume that is at once rigor-ous, creative, and relevant .”

—Michael Tushman, Harvard Business School


The Science of Science PolicyA Handbook Edited by Kaye Husbands Fealing, Julia I. Lane, John H. Marburger III, and Stephanie S. ShippThis book brings together some of the best and brightest minds working in science policy to explore the foundations of an evidence-based platform for the field.

“In this volume, many of the na-tion’s foremost science policy scholars make the case for a more rational decision process to guide federal research funding, arguing that ‘science for science policy’ is a prerequisite . It is not clear that all federal policymakers are open to a rational process . but, the arguments in this book are, indeed, compelling and will certainly propel discussions on this matter .”

Office of Science and Technology Policy and of the National Science Foundation

High Reliability and Crisis Management

High Reliability and Crisis Management

Swans, Swine, and SwindlersCoping with the Growing Threat of Mega-Crises and Mega-MessesCan M. Alpaslan and Ian I. MitroffThis book explores the concept of “messes.” A mess is a web of complex and dynamically interact-

ing, ill-defined, and/or wicked problems; their solu-tions; and our conscious and unconscious assumptions, beliefs, emotions, and values. The roots of messes can be classified as Swans (the inability to surface and test false assumptions and mistaken beliefs), Swine (the inability to confront and manage greed, hubris, ar-rogance, and narcissism), and Swindlers (the inability to confront, detect, and stop unethical and corrupt behavior). Working systematically with this concept and these classifications, authors Can M. Alpaslan and Ian I. Mitroff reveal that all crises are messes; one must learn to understand and manage them as such. They then provide tools and frameworks that read-ers can use to more effectively deal with the crises of today and tomorrow.

“Takes us into the a world of mega messes and show us how to avoid mega crises . a must-read for any leader of the 21st Century!”

—Marshall Goldsmith, best-selling author of What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, Succession: Are You Ready? and MOJO

“The mandarins of Wall street would like us to believe that The Great financial Crisis of 2008 was a Perfect storm, a once-in-several-lifetimes alignment of destructive elements beyond anybody’s control . Mitroff and alpaslan disagree . They con-vince us that it was a mega crisis enmeshed in a mega mess . Crucially, the authors provide us with a road map for coping with such crises and messes in the future .”

—Richard Mason, Southern Methodist University

The Roots, Rituals, and Rhetorics of ChangeNorth American Business Schools After the Second World WarMie Augier and James G. MarchA historical study of the changes that took place in

North American business schools in the 25 years after the Second World, their roots in earlier history, and their impact on the rhetoric of debate over key issues in management education. The book considers at least three core questions: Should business schools concern themselves primarily with experiential knowledge or with academic knowledge? What vision of manag-ers and management should be reflected by business schools? Finally, how does managerial education con-nect its teaching to some version of reality?

“This is a great story that has never been told with such clarity, empirical support, and conceptual breadth . The book draws on the particular strengths and perspectives of each of the authors . augier is a stunningly accomplished intellectual historian of business school culture . Meanwhile, March is the preeminent organizational theorist, who shares a story only he is fit tell—as story about how risky and foolish change is for organizations, how it happens more through arrogance and ignorance than skill and foresight .”

—David F. Labaree, Stanford University and author of Someone Has to Fail

“This book has a distinct sensibility and depth that will make it important . The authors’ nuance of ideas and range of perspec-tive is excellent .”

Creating New Knowledge in ManagementAppropriating the Field’s Lost FoundationsEllen S. O’Connor This book rediscovers lost sources in the work of Mary Parker Follett and Chester Barnard, providing

a foundation for management as a unique and coherent discipline. It demonstrates how the shared values, pur-poses, and customs of management and the humanities can be used to build an enterprise that will help to meet the challenges of business today. Igniting approaches to management that build on humanistic traditions is the ultimate goal of this book.

“This thoughtful book highlights the need for business schools to teach current managers and managers-to-be the benefits of appreciating and acting upon this key notion: the expan-sion of cooperative behavior and the development of the individual are mutually dependent realities, and a balance of these two elements is needed for an organization to maintain vitality .”

—Joe Mahoney, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

“Generates a new understanding of the origins of manage-ment thought, linking this to current debates about the role of business schools .”

—Ken Starkey, Nottingham University and author of The Business School and the Bottom Line

“Dr . o’Connor blends careful research and meticulous scholar-ship with her keen philosophical and postmodern perspective to reinterpret the world and works of Mary Parker follett and Chester barnard for our time . My sense is that this book will be the definitive work on barnard for the next generation of scholars .”

Enhancing Campus Capacity for LeadershipAn Examination of Grassroots Leaders in Higher EducationAdrianna J. Kezar and Jaime Lester

“Grassroots leadership is one of the most promising approaches to replenishing higher learning by helping to bring greater clarity and cohesion to our nation’s col-leges and universities . Ideas are precious, and this text advances several promising ones—not only for enriching the literature on leadership for change, but also the daily lives of those of us who believe that we need to work together to bring about a meaningful future . What a plea-sure to read a book in which one feels that one is in conversation with the authors . This is an exem-plary piece of work .”

Decision Making and Problem Solving

Inside ManThe Discipline of Modeling Human Ways of BeingMihnea C. MoldoveanuThis book explores the practice of modeling human ways of being in real time. It makes the process and the phenomenon of modeling transparent and explicit, and clarifies the reasons for which modeling human behavior has to be an interactive process between the modeler and the modeled.

“Creates a new framework that is exciting because it questions ex-isting ideas, and provides advice as to how to overcome existing gaps and inconsistencies that are accessible to scholars and practitioners .”

—Chris Argyris, Harvard Business School, and author of Organizational Traps: Leadership,

Culture, Organizational Design

“Traditionally, the business-school classroom has promoted the virtues of action . This book pro-motes the virtues of thinking—even of thinking about how we think . Read this book, think, and, only then, act!”

The Evaluation SocietyPeter Dahler-LarsenThe Evaluation Society argues that if we want to understand many of the norms, values, and expectations that we, some-times unknowingly, bring to evaluation, we should explore how evaluation is demanded, formatted, and shaped by the two great principles of social order: “organization” and

“society.”

“This is a cogent, persuasive, compelling, and clever examina-tion of how evaluation practices are required, designed, and fash-ioned by both organizational logics and conceptions of soci-ety . It should be required read-ing for evaluation practitioners, as well as all professionals who engage in evaluation as part of their work .”
