This volume contains a selection of John Dunning's best known and highly acclaimed writings on the theory of international business activity. Spanning more than three decades, the 16 contributions trace the evolution of his thoughts and ideas as an economist, from his first article on the determinants of international production, published in 1973, to his most recent essay on relational assets, networks and global business activity, completed in 2002. Theories and Paradigms of International Business Activity gives particular prominence to the author's much renowned eclectic paradigm, which he first promulgated at a Nobel Symposium on the international allocation of economic activity in 1976. Since then, the author has written over 60 articles, pamphlets and chapters in books which have extended, refined and updated his theorizing on the interface between trade, FDI and MNE activity, in the light of the changing characteristics of the world economy and advances in international business scholarship. This, the first of two volumes of John Dunning's work, is essential reading for all students, scholars and researchers with a special interest in the reasons behind the explosive growth in post-war FDI and the globalization of business activity.

The concept of management and organizational culture has gained wide acceptance as a way to understand human systems and it has also proved that organizational culture has had deep impact on the variety of organizations process, employees and its performance. The social cultural milieu in India is inimitable; its peculiarities shape the personality of the management practitioner and also influence management practices. It is clear that organizational culture plays a very significant role in the management of the organization. Each discipline with its own methodology has undertaken a number of studies about organizations and produced varied results which enhanced the scope of each discipline to take up studies further within the field of organizational culture. However, literature survey indicates that there have been very few ethnographic studies undertaken to identify cultural variables, which have a bearing on corporate and non-corporate management in India. In this context, the present study is an attempt to explore, identify and understand the trends in management of corporate organizations in India through an ethnographic study.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly recognized as organizations seek to disrupt and transform processes in order to drive innovation in their business models. However, despite substantial investments in AI implementation, recent research indicates that organizations are struggling to realize the expected benefits. Furthermore, many firms face challenges when it comes to effectively integrating AI applications into their existing organizational systems. To bridge this gap, there is an urgent need to deepen understanding of AI techniques, particularly in the context of Asian organizations, where diverse workforces, cultural differences, language barriers, and skill shortages present unique complexities. Exploring the Intersection of AI and Human Resources Management explores the methodologies, theories, and perspectives related to the application of AI in organizations. Focused on the convergence of Human Resource Management (HRM) and AI, this book aims to provide invaluable insights to academics, researchers, policymakers, organizational managers, advanced-level students, leaders, academicians, and government officials. By shedding light on the tools and applications of AI in optimizing human resources, this book expands the horizons of research and encourages the seamless integration of HRM and AI.

Europe has talked itself into a refugee and security crisis. There is, however, a misrecognition of the real challenge facing Europe: the challenge of managing the relationship between Europeans and the currently stigmatized ‘others’ which it has attracted. Making the case against a ‘Europe of walls’, Robin Wilson instead proposes a refounding of Europe built on the power of diversity and an ethos of hospitality rather than an institutional thicket serving the market.
