Handbook of Methods in Leadership Research

Handbook of Research Methods in Corporate Social Responsibility

Edited by Birgit Schyns, Rosalie J. Hall, Durham University, UK and Pedro Neves, Nova School of Business and Economics, Portugal

Edited by David Crowther, De Montfort University, UK and Linne Lauesen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark Corporate social responsibility now touches upon most aspects of the interaction between business and society. The approaches taken to research in this area are as varied as the topics that are researched; yet this is the first book to address the whole range of methods available. The book identifies the methods available, evaluates their use and discusses the circumstances in which they might be appropriate. It also includes forward-thinking guidance from experienced academics on the future directions of research in the area.

‘Interest in leadership continues to grow, as does research on this complex and fascinating topic. This book provides a much-needed guide to conducting (and deciphering) leadership research. Every student of leadership needs to have this detailed guidebook in his or her reference library.’ – Ronald E. Riggio, Claremont McKenna College, US ‘This is an indispensable volume for all leadership researchers, from beginning students and early career researchers to seasoned veterans in the field. The contents provide a comprehensive treatment of important topics in leadership research, including foundational measurement and design concerns to both quantitative and qualitative analytical approaches. I am sure to refer to it often and recommend it highly.’ – David V. Day, Claremont McKenna College, US

Handbook of Marketing Analytics

Methods and Applications in Marketing Management, Public Policy, and Litigation Support Edited by Natalie Mizik, University of Washington and Dominique M. Hanssens, University of California, Los Angeles, US

Dec 2017 c 480 pp Hardback 978 1 78536 727 4 c £140.00 eBook • Elgaronline Handbooks of Research Methods in Management series

‘Over the course of their storied careers, Mizik and Hanssens have helped quantify one of the most elusive of concepts: how marketing creates enterprise value. The Handbook of Marketing Analytics teaches practitioners not only how to explain the impact of marketing investment on firm performance, but also its growing application to guiding public policy and even assisting in litigation. Expertly crafted, with practical takeaways drawn on case studies and interviews with marketing analytics experts, this book is a must-read for any marketer, advertiser or reader fascinated with discovering the unseen leverage in marketing and creativity.’

‘This is a wonderfully well-written, highly readable, book that covers the rapidly changing and increasingly complex landscape of data-driven marketing in depth. The distance traveled from “Mad Men-esque” focus groups to sophisticated inferential analyses of vast data arrays is very well captured. Erickson’s use of real-life, and very current, examples, to frame critical issues and explain key concepts and details is remarkable. The reader often feels as if he/she is virtual member of a marketing analytics workgroup working on problems for firms like Tesco, Bloomberg, Lego, LiveAnalytics, Amazon, and others.’ – Charles R. Christian, former Director of Employee Analytics, Johnson & Johnson New Methods of Market Research and Analysis prepares readers for the new reality posed by big data and marketing analytics. While connecting to traditional research approaches such as surveys and focus groups, this book shows how new technologies and new analytical capabilities are rapidly changing the way marketers obtain and process their information. 2017 208 pp Hardback 978 1 78643 268 1 £80.00 eBook • Elgaronline

How to Get Published in the Best Management Journals Edited by Timothy Clark, Durham University, Mike Wright, Imperial College London, UK, University of Ghent, Belgium and ETH Zurich, Switzerland and David J. Ketchen, Jr., Auburn University, US ‘For many, the process of publishing in the best management journals is an enigma wrapped in a mystery. Even when they are successful, they are never sure why. And too often rejections hurt, but don’t provide insight about how to increase the likelihood of success. This book begins to unwrap this enigma by describing the process and providing practical guidance that scholars at all levels can use to navigate this intellectual minefield. I wish I had this book earlier in my career.’

Innovative Techniques

A Guide to Discursive Organizational Psychology

Edited by Keith Townsend and Rebecca Loudoun, Griffith University, Australia and David Lewin, University of California, Los Angeles, US ‘The editors of this compelling volume insist that contemporary HRM scholarship can be as profound and enduring as the classics in the study of work. A revamped vision of qualitative research, aiming to be “innovative and timeless”, should drive this agenda. The book urges researchers to draw on older disciplines – history, philosophy, psychology, law, ethnography – in new ways and points to the promise of novel methods, from photo-elicitation to cognitive mapping, which could drive HRM research. This is a call to do new things now and old things differently.’ – Bradon Ellem, University of Sydney, Australia Human resource management as a field of research is a broad church, with a wide variety of research methods in use. This Handbook focuses on qualitative research methods and explores the opportunities and challenges of new technologies for innovating data collection and data analysis.

‘The contributors to this book make a compelling case for a greater consideration of discourse in organizational psychology. Focusing on discursive psychology’s “potential for bringing about social change or engaging with emancipatory projects”, the chapters examine change from different perspectives including participation, resistance, creativity and change interventions. The breadth of empirical settings is impressive, ranging from the UN World Summit on Sustainable Development to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to multilingualism in multinational companies. Similarly, the book covers a range of different methods. The contributions of discourse are made clear so that readers can easily see how discourse can enhance our understanding of organizational change.’ – Cynthia Hardy, University of Melbourne, Australia

Research Methods – Business & Management A Research Agenda for Management and Organization Studies

Research Methods – Law NEW

Research Methods in Environmental Law

Edited by Barbara Czarniawska, University of Gothenburg, Sweden ‘Editing collective works is demanding but can be equally or more rewarding than writing an entire book alone. Czarniawska, in this case, had no choice: she alone could not have written the agenda of the whole field. Thus she played the role of the editor, and did so in an exemplary way, carefully choosing the contributors, conceiving the right structure and managing to draw from each author pieces or tiles, which resulted in an extraordinary mosaic: a complete and bright vista of what the field of management and organization studies is today and will become in the future.’ – Pasquale Gagliardi, Catholic University of Milan and Giorgio Cini Foundation, Venice, Italy 2016 200 pp Hardback 978 1 78471 701 8 £70.00 2017 Paperback 978 1 78471 703 2 £25.00 eBook • Elgaronline

A Handbook Edited by Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos and Victoria Brooks, University of Westminster, UK This timely Handbook brings innovative, free-thinking and radical approaches to research methods in environmental law. With a comprehensive approach it brings together key concepts such as sustainability, climate change, activism, education and Actor Network Theory. It considers how the Anthropocene subjects environmental law to critique, and to the needs of the variety of bodies, human and non-human, that require its protection. This much-needed book provides a theoretically informed analysis of methodological approaches in the discipline, such as constitutional analysis, rights-based approaches, spatial/geographical analysis, immersive methodologies and autoethnography, which will aid in the practical critique and re-imagining of Environmental Law.

‘Service innovation studies has made significant advances over recent years. This book constitutes a decisive further step in strengthening and legitimizing these advances. It contributes by filling an important gap regarding research methodologies for service innovation. It presents a dozen innovative methods, discussing their socio-economic and political basis and applying them to concrete cases.

‘This book contributes to bringing human rights research out of its infancy. Having matured over three decades, it is high time to raise the discussion on its methodology to a new level. With its roots in legal studies, human rights research today embraces a much wider range of disciplines. Offering a profound, interdisciplinary analysis, this book offers the reader a deepened understanding across many fields. It will soon be a classic in higher education and research institutions.’ – Morten Kjaerum, Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, Sweden

The top-tier publication graveyard is littered with the ghosts of manuscripts and their authors tripped by poor construct measures. Coviello and Yli-Renko provide a “toolkit” of conceptually and empirically validated measures, their sources and from across a spectrum of disciplines and contexts to help you clear the minefield.’

Research Methods – Law

Research Methods – Economics

Multi-Criteria Analysis in Legal Reasoning

NEW

Bengt Lindell, Uppsala University, Sweden

Essays on the Art and Craft of Economics

How Economics Should Be Done

‘This is a highly original approach to a pressing problem of legal reasoning: how to decide in a context in which many different values and interests need to be considered. The interdisciplinary approach chosen, using decision theory and adapting it to a legal context, provides a fresh perspective on important issues such as balancing of interests and weighting of different legal values. Firmly grounded in Scandinavian discussions of legal reasoning and the international literature on decision theory, it is particularly relevant to administrative legal decisions, but it may also be relevant §to judicial decision-making in private or criminal law.’

David C. Colander, Middlebury College, US and Huei-chun Su, Institute for New Economic Thinking, University of Oxford, UK

– Sanne Taekema, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands

David Colander has been writing about economic methodology for over 30 years, but he goes out of his way to emphasize that he does not see himself as a methodologist. His pragmatic methodology is applicable to what economists are doing and attempts to answer questions that all economists face as they go about their work. The articles collected in this volume are divided, with the first part providing a framework underlying Colander’s methodology and introducing Colander’s methodology for economic policy within that framework. Part two presents Colander’s view on the methodology for microeconomics, while part three looks at Colander’s methodology for macroeconomics. The book closes with discussions of broader issues.

A Short Introduction to Judging and to Legal Reasoning

Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Heterodox Economics

Geoffrey Samuel, Kent Law School, UK and Sciences-Po, Paris, France

Edited by the late Frederic S. Lee, formerly University of Missouri, Kansas City, US and Bruce Cronin, University of Greenwich, UK

‘In this useful and timely book Geoffrey Samuel offers to his readers a new understanding of the rich complexity of legal reasoning – an understanding that has sometimes been lacking in accounts of law written from a single perspective. Professor Samuel has made excellent use of his wide and deep knowledge of Roman law, of English legal history, of modern English law and of medieval and modern civil law. The book is well set out, with clear, concise and apt quotations throughout.’

‘A very welcome compendium on the wide range of research methods available for economists and social scientists more generally. Highly recommended, particularly for those wishing to explore alternative methods to be applied in all fields of economic analysis and beyond. There are insightful and helpful applications of the methods to a wide range of topics to illustrate how they can be used.’ – Malcolm Sawyer, University of Leeds, UK

Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Transport Economics and Policy

Edited by Luigino Bruni, LUMSA University, Rome and the late Pier Luigi Porta, formerly University Milano-Bicocca, Italy

Edited by Chris Nash, University of Leeds, UK ‘This book’s title reveals a great ambition and the content, which covers all transport modes and all critical issues of our discipline, reaches a remarkable level of thoroughness. I have no doubt that this book will become a most valuable tool for students and researchers in transport economics.’

Offering a thorough assessment of the recent developments in the economic literature on happiness and quality of life, this Handbook astutely considers both methods of estimation and policy application. The expert contributors critically present in-depth research on a wide range of topics including culture and media, inequality, and the relational and emotional side of human life.

Imad A. Moosa, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia ‘“Publish or perish” is the most significant of all the pressures on young academics. It underpins success with research grants, outreach, impact, prize-winning, promotion and job-security. It distorts incentives by prioritising some research outputs, such as “four-star” papers, over others, such as monographs. Here at last is a book that explains how this oppressive system developed, what sustains it, and where it is likely to lead.

‘Stories of the conception, undertaking and writing of research projects can be as valuable as the books, theses and papers themselves. But we tend to suppress or side-line these stories, especially when projects deviate from planned, expected or approved paths. This richly-detailed and entertaining book provides much-needed openness about the agonies of real-world research, such as failure to gain access to research sites, data being lost, unworkable ethical governance frameworks, breakdowns in professional relationships, inabilities to find the words, and those “what the hell just happened?” moments that can ambush even the most seasoned field researcher. This book is an indispensable guide to the twists and turns of the research journey, from the initial ideas scrawled on the back of a beer mat to the publishing of a major academic work.’ Jan 2018 c 224 pp Hardback 978 1 78643 575 0 c £85.00 eBook • Elgaronline

Handbook of Research Methods for Tourism and Hospitality Management Edited by Robin Nunkoo, University of Mauritius As research in tourism and hospitality reaches maturity, a growing number of methodological approaches are being utilized and, in addition, this knowledge is dispersed across a wide range of journals. Consequently there is a broad and multidisciplinary community of tourism and hospitality researchers whom, at present, need to look widely for support on methods. In this volume, researchers fulfil a pressing need by clearly presenting methodological issues within tourism and hospitality research alongside particular methods and share their experiences of what works, what does not work and where challenges and innovations lie.
