Tradition As Resource Or Constraint For Strategic Action

~~125,88€~~ 113,29€ 10% OFF

 In a world where the new often collides with the old, Tradition as Resource or Constraint for Strategic Action examines the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation. Spanning industries from fashion to sports and from gastronomy to design, the researchers present a meticulously curated anthology of research discussing the dual role of tradition-as both a stabilizing anchor, and a springboard for strategic change.Volume 44 provides insight into the challenges businesses face when trying to innovate without compromising their historical values, emphasizing the importance of balancing the old and the new. Traditional practices can be reimagined to satisfy contemporary needs, ensuring the essence of the past is preserved, whilst still keeping up with the spirit of innovation.By focusing on this intersection between tradition and invention, this compilation not only marks a resurgence of interest in the interplay between traditional mores and strategic innovation but also serves as crucial reading for strategists and leaders. It equips them with the insights needed to balance a reverence for historical legacies with the imperatives of forward-thinking innovation charting a course for a future that both honours and renews the past.

Employee Inter- And Intra-Firm Mobility - Taking Stock Of What We Know, Identifying Novel Insights And Setting A Theoretical And Empirical Agenda

125,86€ + 10% CARD

 Tzabbar and Cirillo bring together an interdisciplinary team of experts to develop new theoretical and empirical directions to the study of employee mobility.<div><br><div>Employee mobility has significant implications for the ability of organizations to transform their capabilities and increase their competitive advantage. Research from different disciplines have examined the strategic implications of the internal employee mobility (i.e., lateral vs. promotion) and of the external employee mobility (i.e., within and between industries; move to rivals and employee entrepreneurship). However, a unifying conceptual structure within and across different disciplines will enhance our ability to gain comparative insights regarding the varying effects of the various mechanisms associated with each type of mobility.

Sustainability, Stakeholder Governance, And Corporate Social Responsibility

136,46€ + 10% CARD

 Scholarly interest in the areas of sustainability, stakeholder relations and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has increased considerably in recent years. In this volume, we take a step back to consider the fundamental questions that underlie and tie research across these areas together. The chapters in this volume cover a wide range of theoretical perspectives grounded in strategy, economics and sociology, employ various methodological approaches, and offer new arguments on the connections that exist between firms’ decisions relating to sustainability, CSR, and the governance of their stakeholder relations. The chapters in this volume highlight that business decisions relating to sustainability and CSR are ultimately decisions about the governance of stakeholder relations, and suggest that future work in these areas should consider more closely both the firms and their stakeholders as strategic actors driving firm decisions.

Geography, Location, And Strategy

152,36€ + 10% CARD

 Changes in both technology and global political economy have vastly accelerated the pace of globalization in the last 40 years, eroding barriers that limited firms’ geographic scope, and unleashing a seemingly unlimited set of new threats, challenges, and opportunities to create value globally. Globalization presents managers with an environment to create value that is more complex, risky, and also more promising than ever before. Despite recent advances in our understanding of how locations impact the creation and appropriation of value by firms, the speed of these changes has often surpassed the speed of research on the connections between geography and firms. This volume draws together researchers working at the forefront of this area in a variety of disciplines—economics, geography, marketing, organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, and strategy—in order to explore the many ways that locations matter for firms. In 11 varied papers, the authors draw on newly available data, recently developed theory, and diverse methodology to understand the relationships between firm boundaries, firm activities, and geographic borders.

Cognition & Strategy

169,59€ + 10% CARD

 The "cognitive foundations" of strategy have received increased attention in recent years. The last decade has witnessed a dramatic rise in empirical studies that seek to document the role of cognition in strategic outcomes, and in theoretical work that seeks to systematize this relationship. Drawing on psychological foundations in general, and on cognitive representation, framing, and categories in particular, this research has made significant progress, yet remains in a pre-paradigmatic phase where polysemy and terminological variety are still the norm.This volume has two goals. First, it intends to attract a representative sample of the most significant empirical and theoretical developments in the field of cognition and strategy. Second, it intends to take stock of these developments by proposing a preliminary synthesis of the disparate advances in this field.

Resource Redeployment And Corporate Strategy

160,31€ + 10% CARD

 It has been long understood that value creation by corporate strategists is determined by their ability to effectively deploy resources across multiple business units. Recently, scholarly attention has been dominated by studies of "synergy", or sharing resources across businesses. However, a second type of resource deployment, "resource redeployability" or "resource configuration", where resources are withdrawn from one business unit and reallocated to another may not only effect firm value creation, but also firm and industry evolution. This volume advances the resource deployment and synergy debate, and how they differentially affect value and firm decision-making. It clarifies the theoretical determinants and effects of each, revisiting prior work that investigates the benefits of synergy-based strategy, and assessing the benefits of an increased focus on redeployability.
