| Summary |
"The Elgar Companion to Managing People Across the Asia-Pacific provides a crucial exploration of current business and management research, touching upon topics such as leadership, employee motivation and politics, and innovation to provide a timely examination of management in the Asia-Pacific. It addresses how unique cultural, societal and governance factors in the Asia-Pacific affect business practices. Bringing together the work of a diverse collective of international authors, chapters explore often challenging topics such as the position of ageing workers in the Asia-Pacific and the dynamics of a multigenerational workforce. They carefully examine organizational psychology processes among Asia-Pacific workers in order to paint an accurate picture of differing work environments. Ultimately, this accessible Companion directly focuses on ongoing research efforts to conceptualize the culture, engagement and potential shifts within Asia-Pacific work environments. This discerning Elgar Companion will be beneficial for researchers and academics of multiple disciplines, such as business and management, international business, finance and organizational psychology. It will additionally be of use to practitioners in management positions seeking to understand contemporary issues within the field"-- Provided by publisher. |
