Synopsis

Advances in Accounting Behavioral Research

publishes high-quality research encompassing all

areas of accounting that incorporates theory

from, and contributes knowledge and

understanding to, applied psychology, sociology,management science, and behavioral economics.

Research published in this series encompasses

all areas of accounting and covers a broad range

of issues that affect the users, preparers and assurers of

accounting information. This volume focuses primarily on

developing psychometric measures that can be useful for futureresearch. This includes research focused on developing an

instrument for measuring taxpayer locus of control, developing a

scale for examining social norms related to tax compliance,

identifying characteristics of audit partners that might predict

“risky” behavior, and identifying facets of culture that influence

employee satisfaction. Further, the quality of auditors’ decisions as judged by engagement quality reviewers and jurors is examined.

Finally, an investigation of the factors that influence co-authorship

provides interesting insight into the habits of the most productive

accounting researchers.

Synopsis

Recent failures in the corporate sector are to a

large extent a failure of accountability.

Unfortunately, accountability tends to be

characterised by atomistic research; confusing

language; models of limited scope; poor conceptualisation of key constructs; context

insensitivity; and a lack of methodological

integration. This book not only integrates but also

substantially adds to the extant accountability literature, providing

a holistic view of accountability, show-casing a newly-generated

Holistic Accountability Model (HAM). This book clarifies thepurposes of accountability; identifies what triggers accountability

exchanges; generates a set of well-defined responsibility and

accountability constructs; and, via a grounded graphic model, links

these constructs to the accountability process and to the

influences that impact on this process. Several working models

are proposed to help practitioners achieve a better understandingof the extent and nature of their accountability obligations, develop

and implement more effective accountability policies and

practices, and make better accountability decisions.

Accountability Theory Meets Accountability Practice

Dr Harald Bergsteiner Macquarie Graduate School of Management, NSW, Australia




Synopsis

Recent examples of corporate, national and

international ethical and financial scandals and

crises have created a need to bolster the ethical

acumen of managers through business education

imperatives. This topical book forms an importantpart of the debate on the development of ethical

business leaders and provides empirically

grounded, theoretical insights for rethinking

business curricula requisite for understanding and meaningfully

confronting an ethical vacuum that sometimes exists in business.

Management Education for Integrity explains how curricula shouldbe streamlined and rejuvenated to ensure a high level of integrity

in management education, providing numerous examples of new

tools, teaching methods, integrity sensitization and development

exercises and ethical management education assessment

approaches. Chapters include: fostering integrity in business

curricula; a critique of ethics education in management; measuringbest practices in management education for integrity capacity;

encouraging moral engagement in business ethics courses;

management education for behavioral integrity; and a scenario-

based approach as a teaching tool to promote integrity

awareness.

Inequality of Opportunity: Theory andMeasurementResearch on Economic InequalityVolume 19

Juan Gabriel Rodriguez

Macquarie Graduate School of Management, NSW, Australia




Synopsis

The 15th volume of Advances in Early Education

and Day Care focuses on the implementation of

professional development for early childhood

educators, describing a number of models for

improving early childhood care. These modelsdiffer by setting, urban, rural, public, private,

center- and home-based child care. These

programs also differ by implementation model.

Mentoring, workshops, online information and college courses are

examples of how professional development was implemented. The

systematic assessment of both the providers and the childrendescribed in these chapters will be of assistance for future

research designers who are conducting large-scale data collection

and analysis. These chapters should serve as a way for policy

makers to become informed about how best to expend scarce

resources in the implementation of professional development.

Increasing our knowledge of effective practices in professionaldevelopment is an important factor in improving the outcomes for

future generations of children.

The collection of these chapters in one volume should provide

future developers of professional development with a road-map for

what works and what might not be so effective.

John A. SutterbyUniversity of Texas at Brownsville, TX, USA




Synopsis

Given the increasing urbanization of the world's

population, how people thrive and survive in high

density urban environments is a topic of profound

interest to nation states and governments.

Books have focused on “poverty and place” and“geography of opportunity,” questioning the

influence of neighborhood environs on the future

social mobility of those who inhabit those

neighborhoods. This anthology describes and analyzes the living

conditions of marginalized persons in America’s cities and

neighborhoods and the consequential impact on their future socialmobility. Chapters focus on key issues that include immigration,

educational under-achievement, urban renewal, public health,

immigration, homelessness, environmental issues, race,

segregation, and the marginality of urban youth and economically

disadvantaged groups in America.

Urban Marginality: America’s Citiesand Neighborhoods in TransitionAdvances in Education in Diverse Communities:Research, Policy and PraxisVolume 7

Carol Camp-YeakeyWashington University in St Louis, USA




Synopsis

This book is a practical guide on how to

transform your ideas from virtual world course

ware to virtual world learning experiences. The

book argues that setting up learning in 3D virtual

worlds requires a transformative approach. Theadvice given in this book comes from real world

implementers of virtual world learning. The

models presented here show how to transform

your thinking in 3D spaces and how to achieve your organizational

learning goals while motivating your learners. The practical articles

and lesson plans come from those pioneers who have used virtualworlds to learn, teach and support their learners with in-world

presence. Transforming starts with recognizing virtual worlds as a

place, and then using the space to plan in 3D, design real-time

and implement a “virtual biodome effect” for continuous learning.

It is our hope that the book inspires current educational institutions

to think about creating persistent, scalable communities that thriveon communication, global collaboration and sustainable

interactivity. The results are the same for K-12, community

college, university, industry and lifelong learners. It is not just

about being in a virtual world, it is about doing something

engaging there to educate and entertain the workforce of the

interconnected internet.

Synopsis

Ask practically any academic department chair

why they do not have more African Americans

among faculty members and they generally

respond with stock stories or folktales, which

stimulated the title of this volume. Stock storiesare akin to grand narratives that explain “why

things are” in ways that satisfy those in dominant

positions. Frierson and Tate argue that it is time

to move beyond these. The purpose of the book is to provide

historical, conceptual, and empirically-based analyses focused on

the development of African Americans in STEM fields. There israrely any real understanding of the uneven contours of the

education pipeline or the transition to academic life experienced in

these situations and this volume will shed light on opportunities to

advance African American attainment in STEM disciplines

throughout the academic and professional spectra, and the

mitigation of disparities that continue to be so prevalent. Theeditors hope that it will generate discussions and actions that are

based on empirical evidence and policy analyses, rather than

long-standing stock stories and folktales that misrepresent the

paths linked to African Americans' attainment in STEM fields.

Synopsis

While the Student Voice agenda gathers

momentum in all sectors of education in the UK,

so too does the degree to which “Student Voice”

comes under the critical gaze of national and

international commentators who narrate itsinfluence on policy as each successive

government in the UK shapes the agenda as

they see fit. The Student Voice movement

continues to grow and influence discussion across all levels of

education. Equally, international responses to Student Voice

extend the debate and movement further. To acknowledgeinternational and UK perspectives, the authors have developed an

edited collection speaking to both the practitioner and the

academic alike. The text offers diverse perspectives with

contributions from internationally acclaimed researchers,

academics, classroom practitioners and learners across a variety

of ages and educational sectors at both local and internationallevels.

Synopsis

This volume considers the timely issues of social

and sustainable entrepreneurship. The chapters

consider in depth the issues, problems, contexts,

and processes that make entrepreneurial

enterprises more social and/or sustainable. Topresearchers from a diverse set of perspectives

have contributed their latest research on a

variety of topics such as the role of

entrepreneurial bricolage in generating innovations in a social

context (Gundry, Kickul, Griffins, Bacq) and emerging themes in

social entrepreneurship education (Thiru). Several chapters tacklelingering definitional issues, such as the distinctions between

social, sustainable, and environmental entrepreneurship (Dean,

Sarason, Neenan), or propose social entrepreneurship research

agendas based on key research questions found in prior studies

(Gras, Mosakowski, Lumpkin). There are brief histories of social

change and their entrepreneurial implications (Kucher; Summers),and frameworks for studying different types of social and

sustainable entrepreneurship (Lichtenstein). Each of the chapters,

in its own way, addresses the progress and promise of social and

sustainable entrepreneurship as a future research domain of

growing interest and importance.

Synopsis

Education is the key to risk reduction, be it

environmental management or disaster risk

reduction, and is a process which needs to be

embedded at different levels of management and

practices to collectively reduce the risk. Whileschool education forms the foundation of the

knowledge cycle, for effective knowledge use, it

is necessary to link school and community

education. Education is linked to enhanced awareness and a key

reflection of education is seen in terms of actions.

Divided into four sections, this book begins with an informativeintroduction to the subject of disaster risk reduction education and

proceeds to highlight key places of education such as family,

community, school, and higher education. It then examines

approaches, methods and tools before providing a future

perspective and pointing to the way ahead.

This is the first book of its kind on disaster risk reductioneducation. A ready reference for practitioners in the field, this book

describes and demonstrates different aspects of education in an

easy-to-understand form with current academic research and

practical field experiences included throughout.

Synopsis

Negotiation is a process that permeates our

everyday lives. From international conflicts to

corporate mergers, from labor contracts to

distribution agreements, and from one-time job

offers to the day-to-day of relationships,negotiation is one of the most common ways to

reach agreement on disputed issues and

resources. Though negotiation is challenging in

the simplest of circumstances, a group context can make it even

more complex: groups negotiating with other groups may argue

among themselves; factions and coalitions may develop, leadingto side deals or the obstruction of deals in progress; the interests

and preferences of all parties become much harder to identify,

much less satisfy. In this 14th volume of the Research on

Managing Groups and Teams series, nine chapters examine the

particular challenges, opportunities, and dynamics that confront

groups engaged in negotiation. This volume will be of particular interest to readers and scholars from management, psychology,

sociology, communications, law, political science, and public

policy.

Augmentative and AlternativeCommunication for Adults with Aphasia: Science and Clinical PracticeAugmentative & Alternative Communications PerspectivesVolume 3

Rajinder KoulTexas Tech University, TX, USA




Synopsis

This book contains a collection of edited papers

which were presented at the international

conference “Procedural Meaning. Problems and

Perspectives” in Madrid. The conference brought

together the most outstanding specialists in thisfield, making a worthwhile occasion for collecting

its most significant contributions in a volume.

Despite the fact that procedural meaning has become an

increasingly widespread area of study by scholars from a variety

of backgrounds, including researchers of semantics, pragmatics

and syntax, there is to date no volume dedicated specifically tothis topic. The interest in the applications of procedural semantics

has increased over the years and continues to do so; therefore,

the publication of a collection of papers bringing together the

variety of viewpoints from which procedural meaning is being

applied will fulfil an important role in disseminating and enhancing

its study and facilitating future development.

Synopsis

This book is designed to guide and support pre-

service and veteran teachers, teacher educators,

staff developers and administrators in their quest

toward the education of all students in such a

way as to confirm that their lives matter. Whilethere are no easy answers or solutions to solve

the problems and challenges faced by teachers

and students daily, there are powerful and

reflective ways for us to use students’ cultural knowledge and

frames of reference in order to maximize their opportunities to

learn. The goal of this text is to assist teachers – both pre-serviceand practising – to meet these goals.

Synopsis

The book provides an historic overview of the

development of business and management

education in the UK, with a specific focus on the

twentieth century. The author discusses

individual school’s histories and their performance in the league tables, as well as the

associations that help support these institutions.

Review

“Overall, this is an interesting and enjoyable book. It's a great introduction to the history of management education in the UK,being detailed enough to inform and provoke thought and yet accessible enough to engage the general reader. I found it easy toread from cover to cover in a couple of days over the Christmasbreak, and it's also possible to dip into it and get useful nuggetsthat can inform our thinking about the current challenges facing management education: whether you work in it, fund it, are a

student or just find it interesting” . Sally Halper, Social ScienceContent Development Manager, The British Library.

Synopsis

Nearly all business-to-business firms interact and

have contractual relationships with upstream,

downstream and parallel operating enterprises.

How firms design and implement these

relationships effectively, overcome poorlyperforming network linkages, and manage

change in interfirm networks are the major topics

that Volume 17 covers. The five papers in

Volume 17 report new theory and in-depth descriptions of interfirm

network behavior. Each paper includes extensive reviews of the

relevant literature on interfirm network behavior as well as dataanalysis using empirical positivistic and/or case study research

methods. More than 150 figures and tables support the

discussion of findings.

Synopsis

Publishing cross-national research is often a

difficult endeavour, as ensuring equivalence of

method and measures can be challenging. Even

though the importance of sound data and valid

measures has long been an acknowledged, it isoften problematic to follow required quality

standards in concrete research situations.

Against this background, this volume addresses

issues pertaining to measurement and research methodology in

an international marketing context. Written by a group of

internationally renowned scholars, the papers address a broadrange of subjects including response-bias in cross-cultural

research, problems with cultural distance measures, and construct

specification. Others focus on the development and application of

novel research methods, for example, in the context of marketing

efficiency measurement or international market segmentation.

Collectively, the papers in this volume substantially further marketing knowledge and provide fruitful avenues for future

research. As such, this volume is an invaluable asset to

researchers, students and practitioners in this particular field.

Synopsis

The theme of this volume, What Have WeLearned? Ten Years On, provides a wonderful

tour of the ways in which emotions research has

advanced the way in which we conceive of work

and its possibilities for adding value to life. Thevolume is presented in eight parts, so that the

reader can see how emotions research has

advanced our knowledge and understanding of

what comprises work, the experiences and resourcefulness of

traditional and non-traditional workers, the drivers of consumer

behavior, the dynamics of team behavior, the quality of the leader-member relationship, the demands and skills required of InExtremis work contexts, methods to improve non-cognitive

assessment, and advances in ways to create and maintain

Positive Work Environments.

The chapters in this volume leave no doubt in the reader's mind

that emotions as energizing and motivating mechanisms demand

understanding and attention in order to improve performance andsocietal value from organizational activities, ensure dignity for

workers and consumers, and create workplaces where individuals

are engaged and flourishing.

Synopsis

Our global reliance on private automobiles as the

primary means for transporting individuals is

likely to become of increasing political

importance over the next ten to 20 years. While

the individual benefits of car-based travelcontinues to be recognized, the wider

environmental and social cost of automobiles is

also significant and the need for political

intervention to control some of their worst effects is increasingly

accepted within policy circles internationally. It is within this wider

context that Auto Motives is set. It critically evaluates theevidence for better understanding “what drives us to drive”.

Uniquely, it draws together and explains the diverse theoretical

literatures that pertain to people’s auto motives and considers

these theories in the light of empirical research of what actually

informs our automobile decisions and behaviours. With

contributions from leading academic experts from around theworld, its core arguments and narratives are presented in such a

way as to offer widespread appeal to a wide-ranging audience.

Synopsis

The papers in this volume were selected and

revised from among those presented at the

conference: "Gender and Social Transformation:

Global, Transnational, and Local Realities and

Perspectives," Beijing, China in 2009. Throughcase studies and interview data from across the

globe we see how intersectionality and inequality

are contextualized, shaping women's agencies,

gender relations, identity, the politics of belonging, power

structures, institutional arrangements, and empowerment (self

and/or collective) in local communities and cultures influenced bytransnational and global networks and processes. Those who

experience inequality, the politics of exclusion and social injustice

by virtue of gender, ethnicity and/or class and other differences

are the most vulnerable in the face of new adversities, including

those that occur in response to globalization. Broader theoretical

and methodological contexts for these nation- and region-specificstudies are provided in essays by leading gender theorists.

Divisions of labor, migration, war and peace-building are among

the specific topics addressed in papers from China, India, Israel,

Korea, Germany, Australia, Turkey, and the USA.

Synopsis

This is the only book to provide a comprehensive

introduction to the sociology of diagnosis through

original theoretical and empirical work by

established and emerging scholars and, as such,

it is poised to become a touchstone volume. Intotal, 16 articles are presented across four

sections. “Power and the Politics of Diagnosis”

explores diagnosis as a process of definition that

includes: labeling dynamics between “diagnoser” and diagnosed;

boundary struggles between diverse constituents – both among

medical practioners and between medical authorities and others(such as lay persons, legal, religious, and/or governmental

agents); and the symbolic and material interests behind contested

diagnoses. “Identity, Experience, and Action” analyzes the impact

of diagnosis on individual identity and illness experience,

diagnosis as a basis for collective identity, and social action in

relation to diagnoses. “Diagnosis and Social Control” considersthe role of diagnosis in norm enforcement and the production of

moral boundaries and social standards, and diagnosis in relation

to medicalization. “Nosological Dynamics” explores diagnoses as

socio-political entities embedded in social relations.

Synopsis

This is the only comprehensive and up-to-date

analysis of the political economy of the five

Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland,

Norway, Sweden). Five studies have been written

within a project, and are based on thoroughdiscussions on a common framework within

which the distinct features of the economic

policies of each separate country are analysed in

a comparative perspective. The studies are accompanied by an

extensive comparative discussion – written collectively by the

members of the project team – that locates the Nordic model(s)within the wider map of capitalist varieties in the contemporary

Western world. This book emphasizes the variety of experiences

within the Nordic realm, from the dramatic collapse of Iceland's

economy as the financial bubble burst in 2008 to the full-

employment oil-economy of Norway that proved virtually

unaffected by the financial instabilities of 2008. It also identifiescertain common transformations (particularly linked to the politics

of immigration and integration, the persistent role of the unions,

and new opportunities created by national systems of innovation).

Synopsis

As corruption is a serious problem in many Asian

countries their governments have introduced

many anti-corruption measures since the 1950s.

This book analyzes and evaluates the anti-

corruption strategies employed in Hong KongSAR, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mongolia, the

Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and

Thailand. These countries are selected because

they represent the three major patterns of corruption control, with

Japan adopting Pattern 1 (anti-corruption laws without any anti-

corruption agency [ACA]); India, the Philippines and Taiwanemploying Pattern 2 (anti-corruption laws with multiple ACAs); and

Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia,

and Mongolia belonging to Pattern 3 (anti-corruption laws with a

single ACA). Among the ten countries, only Singapore and Hong

Kong SAR have succeeded in minimizing corruption because of

the commitment of their political leaders in curbing corruption,their favorable policy contexts, and the impartial implementation of

effective anti-corruption measures. On the other hand, the other

eight Asian countries have failed to curb corruption because of the

lack of political will, their unfavorable policy contexts, and their

reliance on ineffective anti-corruption measures.

the labor markets, workplaces, jobs and workers

of Europe in comparative perspective. It focuses

on the politics, economics, sociology, and history

of work and workers in Europe. It contains bothqualitative and quantitative studies as well as

explicitly theoretical work, and compares

contemporary patterns and the recent history of

European workers with other models of work worldwide. Authors

perspectives, with papers that push the boundaries of evidenceand argument. Specific topics in “Comparing European Workers

Volume 22: Policies and Institutions” include: the political economy

of active social policy in post-industrial democracies; social

protection dualism, de-industrialization and cost containment;

“Whose interests do unions represent?” and “Are trade unions still

redistributive?”

Comparing European Workers:Policies and InstitutionsResearch in the Sociology of WorkVolume 22, Part B

David Brady

Duke University, NC, USA




Synopsis

This volume comprises empirical research and

theoretical papers within three key areas, namely

children’s wellbeing, children and youth peer

cultures, and the rights of children and youth.

These empirical studies include children's voicesand experiences from four continents (Asia,

Europe, North America, and South America) and

a range of methodological and theoretical

orientations. A clear connection with social policy at a national and

international level is made in many of these studies. Topics are

wide-ranging and include: Praetorian militarization; school mobility;maths and reading achievement gaps; dating and the

developmental discourse in a summer camp; and school and

social exclusion for urban young people. Altogether, these studies

highlight how structure and culture both limit and enable the life

chances of children, how children interpret and construct their

social relations and environments, and how children viewthemselves as well as how others view the rights of children. This

volume is a further example of how the Sociological Studies of

Children and Youth series successfully show-cases major strands

of current thinking on children and youth in our world today.

Loretta E. BassUniversity of Oklahoma, OK, USA

David A. KinneyCentral Michigan University, MI, USA




Synopsis

This volume of Studies in Law, Politics and

Society contains a symposium on indigenous

peoples in Latin America. It examines the ways in

which rights are negotiated between those

groups and the states in which they live. Thearticles in the symposium show the different

ways in which the complex politics of rights play

out in Latin American nations. They ask us to

consider the way in which context is reflected in the political and

legal life of indigenous peoples, and they consider various

theoretical paradigms for understanding rights.

Studies in Law, Politics, and SocietyStudies in Law, Politics, and SocietyVolume 55

Austin Sarat Amherst College, MA, USA




Synopsis

This volume is designed to renew, stimulate and

facilitate discussion about project-based

organizations (PBOs) and how they increasingly

pervade business dimensions, from R&D and

new product development, to the production of complex capital goods and implementation of

organizational change across very different

industries, such as management consulting,

engineering or entertainment. Contributors analyze PBOs as firms,

units or networks of firms set up to complete a specific

assignment, as well as addressing the evolution from traditionaloperations-driven project management, to the strategic role of

projects in delivering innovation and organizational change, and

the implications for research and teaching. The volume brings

together scholars with a diverse theoretical background and uses

a wealth of methodological approaches in studying PBOs. It

focuses on theoretical frameworks for understanding PBOsthrough different lenses, looks at learning at the individual, team

and organizational levels in temporary organizational structures,

investigates current issues related to projects and networks, and

identifies new areas for future research.

Prof. Dr Florian A. TäubeEBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht i. Gr, Germany




Synopsis

This book series’ mission is to provide a forum

for critique, commentary, and discussion about

key research methodology issues in the strategic

management field. Strategic management relies

on an array of complex methods drawn fromvarious allied disciplines to examine how

managers attempt to lead their firms toward

success. With this in mind this sixth volume of

the series is built around the theme of “Building Methodological

Bridges”.

Within this overarching theme, this volume includes twosubthemes. The first is “Bridges between Macro and Micro

Research” and the second is “Bridges to Stronger Designs and

Analysis”. With authors from an array of backgrounds, including

thought leaders from not only strategic management, but also

from organizational behavior, human resource management, and

entrepreneurship, we are confident that the chapters offered in the

current volume will build bridges for the organizational sciencestoward greater methodological rigour and creativity.
