The Ambidextrous Organization
Creative Problem Solving for Managers
The Strategic Management of Learning, Knowledge, and Innovation
Tony Proctor, University of Chester, UK
Patrick Reinmoeller, Erasmus Universiteit, Rotterdam, the Netherlands
This text provides an essential introduction to the ideas and skills of creative problem solving. It demonstrates how and why people are blocked in their thinking, how this impairs the creative problem solving process and how creative problem solving techniques can help overcome these difficulties. Theories of creative thinking are critically examined and utilised to justify the variety of techniques which can be employed to discover insights into difficult management problems. Using case studies and case histories, together with extensive diagrams, examples and thought-provoking questions, Creative Problem Solving for Managers provides the most up-to-date and extensive approach to this important topic.

Corporate Level Strategy Theory and Applications Olivier Furrer, University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands The challenges faced by diversified corporations – firms that operate in more than one industry or market – have changed over the years. There is now a wide range of strategies, including corporate level strategy, to add competitive advantage to these corporations as a whole.
Accessible and practical, this significant text explains key principles, with emphasis on developing students’ understanding of organizational learning, knowledge, innovation, and ambidexterity, and combines them with real-life company examples to illustrate the practical application, utility, and limitations of concepts and theories. For students of strategic management, organizational behaviour and knowledge management this is essential reading. Selected Contents: Part 1: An Introductory Overview 1.

In Corporate Level Strategy, Furrer guides the reader in developing the ability to consider the impact of change and other important environmental forces on the opportunities for establishing and sustaining corporate advantage by exploring three fundamental questions: • Why are some companies highly specialized, while others embrace a wide range of products, markets and activities? • What is the link between scope and performance? • What can we say about the management of multi-business firms in terms of structure, management systems and leadership?

The Geometry of Strategy
2ND EDITION
Concepts for Strategic Management
Global Corporate Strategy and Trade Policy
Robert W. Keidel, Drexel University, Pennsylvania, USA To excel in today’s exacting climate, organizations-both forprofit and not-for-profit-must integrate strategic planning and strategic thinking. Strategic planning tends to be a formal activity carried out periodically by top managers, but it is vulnerable in the face of fast-paced change. Meanwhile, strategic thinking is an informal activity that occurs continuously throughout any organization, but it tends to be non-cumulative. Keidel offers a framework for integrating strategic planning and strategic thinking that leverages the strengths of both. The key to his work is the application of simple geometric forms-especially, 2x2 grids and trianglesthat help organizational leaders and strategists structure their thinking and planning. Keidel introduces four key strategic categories-persona (organizational identity), performance (what an organization measures), puzzle (those complex challenges that an organization faces), and pattern (how an organization competes, grows, and organizes). Each of these categories reflects a different kind of thinking that matches a specific geometry-point, linear, angular, and triangular. The payoff is a novel, powerful way to conceive, create, and communicate strategy, as well as a set of conceptual lenses for ’reading’ and assessing any organization, including one’s competitors and potential partners. Keidel’s work is illustrated with case studies from his own consulting practice and grounded in the theoretical literature underlying the various geometries of thinking. This book will be a valuable resource for managerial and executive education in strategy, as well as a provocative reading for organizational strategy consultants and thoughtful practitioners.

Alan Rugman, Indiana University, USA and Alain Verbeke Series: Routledge Studies in International Business and the World Economy Twenty years after the first edition of Global Corporate Strategy and Trade Policy first published, Alan Rugman and Alain Verbeke’s seminal book remains as relevant to an examination of the relationships between firms and governments as ever. As developed nations now face a sharp rise in imports from rapidly developing countries such as China and India, this groundbreaking theoretical analysis of strategic management and trade policy, with the authors’ original framework now substantively updated and extended, may indeed take on a new kind of consequence for students and practitioners of international business than it did even twenty years ago. Where once the core of the debate focused on the EU, the US, and Japan, now the so-called ’core triad’ has extended to the broad regions of Europe, North America, and Asia. The volume has long offered a sophisticated analysis of the interactions between industrial / science policy and corporate strategy. New to the second edition are extensive discussions of innovation policy, clustering and its role in enhancing competitiveness, spill-over effects, international technology transfer, trade and investment agreements such as NAFTA, the deeper integration of the EU, investor state dispute, and an examination of parent/subsidy relationships within the internal network of the multinational enterprise. Additionally, the authors have written entirely new chapters analyzing the impact of environmental regulations on corporate strategy, large firms’ reliance on sales within their home region, and the role of NGOs in the formulation of both government policy and corporate strategy. Global Corporate Strategy and Trade Policy reintroduces the basic theoretical models of Rugman and Verbeke and demonstrates that these models remain required tools for contemporary scholarly analysis. This new edition also provides the first serious investigation of strategies for multinational enterprises in a world of globalization and regional economic activity, and incorporates new real world case studies into the historical context of the volume’s original contribution.

TEXTBOOK
Andrew MacLennan, Heriot-Watt University, UK
Mapping Strategic Diversity
Lively and direct, this work combines the rigour of academic research with the accessibility of practitioner-oriented texts. Focusing specifically on implementation rather than strategy development and planning, a wealth of pedagogic features, including textboxes, practical models and plans as well as extensive examples guide both MBA/DBA students and practising managers through this challenging yet essential subject.
Theory and Practice
Departing from the more traditional themes of mainstream strategy books, MacLennan brings the often neglected area of strategy implementation sharply into focus. Ranging from strategic focus to the detailed management of activities to implementation for competitive advantage, this book centres on a small number of process-based models that help managers to: • systematically break down high level conceptual planning to the concrete activities necessary for physical implementation • test their plans and generate the detail required to manage more effectively in complex organizations. Insightful and practical, with models supplemented throughout by summaries of key content issues and clear signposting to wider reading, this comprehensive and functional text provides a new approach to strategy implementation in a clear and easy to use format. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Strategic Focus 3. Strategy Implementation for Competitive Advantage 4. Strategy Implementation Challenges 5. Making Strategy Work 6.

’Although it was Joseph Schumpeter who taught us that innovation is the engine of growth in free-market economies, it is Allan Afuah who teaches us how to achieve competitive advantage through strategic innovation.’ – Frank T. Rothaermel, Sloan Industry Studies Fellow and The Deedy Associate Professor of Strategy, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA In today’s fast-changing business environment, those firms that want to remain competitive must also be innovative. Innovation is not simply developing new technologies into new products or services, but in many cases finding new models for doing business in the face of change. It often entails changing the rules of the game. From the late 1990s to today, the dominant themes in the strategy literature have been strategic innovation, the impact of information and communications technologies on commerce, and globalization. The primary issues have been and continue to be how to gain a competitive advantage through strategic innovation (what Afuah calls ’new game strategy’), and how to compete in a world with rapid technological change and increasing globalization. Strategic Innovation demonstrates to students how to create and appropriate value using these ’new game’ strategies. Beginning with a summary of the major strategic frameworks showing the origins of strategic innovation, Afuah gives a thorough examination of contemporary strategy from an innovation standpoint with several key advantages: • focus on developing strategy in the face of change • rich in quantitative examples of successful strategies, as well as descriptive cases • emphasis on the analysis of strategy, not just descriptions of strategies • a detailed, change-inclusive framework for assessing the profitability potential of a strategy or product, the AVAC (activities, value, appropriability, and change) model • emphasis on the aspects of strategy that can be linked to the determinants of profitability • consideration of how both for-profit and non-profit organizations can benefit from new game strategies.

This is a complex and compelling area of study and this volume is perfectly poised to explore how creativity can be better understood, and used, in a range of contexts. The book not only centres on creativity in wider organizational theory, but also defines the conditions in which creativity can flourish, and assesses how the contemporary business environment has an impact on creative solutions. The volume grounds the concept of creativity in a sound theoretical framework and explores issues of practical and theoretical consequence covering a range of themes, including:

The Art and Science of Anticipating the Future
International Economics
Denis Loveridge, University of Manchester, UK Foresight: The Art and Science of Anticipating the Future provides entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, inventors, scientists, politicians, and many others with a succinct, integrated guide to understanding foresight studies and using them as means for strategy development. The text dispels the belief that anticipations are ’mere guesswork’, and conveys the depth of thought needed, implicitly or explicitly, to understand human foresight.
Theo S. Eicher, University of Washington, USA, John H. Mutti, Grinnell College, USA and Michelle H. Turnovsky, University of Washington, USA Thought-provoking and clearly explained, the new edition provides students of international economics and international business with a rigorous explanation of global economic theory and policy, both current trends and historic developments. It explores key models through case studies and review questions, enabling students to challenge the reporting of economic events by press and government alike.
• the role of foresight and its institutional counterpart in the modern world
Split into two parts – International Trade and International Finance – the text explains conceptual building blocks before applying them to current events and controversies. Key issues discussed include:
The book examines:
• the epistemology underlying foresight
• the influence of transportation costs
• the need to extend foresight activity into wider spheres, including sustainable development
• economies of scale and the new economic geography
• the role that foresight plays in planning processes (including scenario planning).

Maritime Economics
Airline eCommerce Michael Hanke, SkyHapi, Airline E-commerce Consulting and Services, USA Online travel is big business and has become one of the most popular items purchased by consumers on the internet. In 2005, US$106 billion was spent on online travel products and services with air travel alone accounting for over US$65 billion or sixty per cent. This represents almost a quarter of the total worldwide business-to-consumer (B2C) online spending. A variety of contributing factors is responsible for this development: • first, the emergence of the internet and specifically the worldwide web and their commercial applications in the mid 1990s • second, a change in the behavior of consumers who through inexpensive internet access and growing familiarity with easy-to-use technology today shop 24/7 from anywhere in the world • third, airline companies use the internet not only as a new platform to service, sell and market but – by cutting traditional supply channels and reaching directly to the end consumer - also to realize cost savings in their distribution systems • fourth, the arrival of new intermediaries in the form of internet travel agencies (such as Expedia and Opodo), network affiliates, and mass sales and marketing websites that distribute travel products to the public. Considering the above, airline companies all over the world have integrated (or are in the process of doing so) electronic commerce or e-commerce into their business operations in various shapes and forms. Today, it is no longer a question of ’if’ for airline companies but ’how’ to deal with e-commerce and leverage it to enhance their competitiveness. This book explores these issues.

Martin Stopford, Clarkson Research Studies, London For 5000 years shipping has served the world economy and today it provides a sophisticated transport service to every part of the globe. Yet despite its economic complexity, shipping retains much of the competitive cut and thrust of the “perfect” market of classical economics. The enlarged and substantially rewritten Maritime Economics uses historical and theoretical analysis as the framework for a practical explanation of how shipping works today. Whilst retaining the structure of the second edition, its scope is widened to include: • lessons from 5000 years of commercial shipping history • shipping cycles back to 1741, with a year by year commentary • updated chapters on markets; shipping costs; accounts; ship finance and a new chapter on the return on capital • new chapters on the geography of sea trade; trade theory and specialised cargoes • updated chapters on the merchant fleet shipbuilding, recycling and the regulatory regime • a much revised chapter on the challenges and pitfalls of forecasting. With over 800 pages, 200 illustrations, maps, technical drawings and tables Maritime Economics is the shipping industry’s most comprehensive text and reference source, whilst remaining as one reviewer put it “a very readable book”.

Routledge Studies in Global Competition Series
Port Economics Wayne K. Talley, Old Dominion University, USA Port Economics is the study of the economic decisions (and their consequences) of the users and providers of port services. A port is an ’engine’ for economic development by providing employment, worker incomes, business earnings and taxes for its region. The book provides a detailed discussion of types of carriers that use ports, the operation of cargo and passenger ports as well as the operation of such specific ports as Hong Kong, Hamburg, Le Havre, Savannah, Miami and Panama. Port Economics is the first contemporary textbook of its kind. It enhances our understanding of port economics by: • classifying port users and suppliers of port services in the context of economic demand and supply curves • denoting that the demand for port services has two prices, the price paid to the port by the users and the price (or actual and opportunity costs) incurred by port user carriers, shippers and passengers • presenting the economic theories of carriers, shippers and passengers. The numerous up-to-date references will be of benefit to students and researchers of the economics of the shipping trade; to government officials in developing port and shipping policies; and to port operators in understanding the port-choice selection process by shipping lines and other carriers. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Ports Users and Service Providers 3. A Port in Operation 4. Carriers 5. Shippers 6. Passengers 7. Port Operator Operating Options, Production and Cost 8.

Competition Law and Policy in the EC and UK Barry Rodger, Strathclyde University, UK and Angus MacCulloch, University of Lancaster, UK Competition law, at both the EC and UK levels, plays an important and ever-increasing role in regulating the conduct of businesses. Based on the premise that open and fair competition is good for both consumers and businesses, competition law prevents businesses from entering into anti-competitive agreements and from abusing their dominant market position. Competition Law and Policy in the EC and UK looks at how competition law affects business, including: co-ordinated actions; pricing behaviour; take-overs and mergers; and state subsidies. It provides a clear guide to and outline of the general policies behind, and the main provisions of EC and UK competition law. Information is presented within a structured framework, complete with a glossary of useful terminology. This fourth edition has been revised and updated to take into account developments since publication of the previous edition, including expanded coverage of the regulation of cartels, the development of private enforcement, the consideration of IP issues in Microsoft, and extended discussion of UK competition Law.

Competitive Strategies
The rise and continuing strong growth of emerging markets, and particularly the four largest emerging markets (LEMs) – Brazil, Russia, India and China – offer both opportunities and challenges for international business. However, recently there has emerged a growing consensus that the increasing international competitiveness of these economies now presents major challenges for the world economy. These challenges are already evident in the form of record commodity prices, rising food costs, growing outward investment and acquisition by LEM firms, increased job insecurity and growing income inequality in developed nations, and demand for a restructuring of international institutions to reflect the shifting balance of economic power in the world economy. At the same time a stalling of world trade talks, a growing recession in the West and increased reliance on selective protectionism are all impacting on the prospects for emerging economies. Large Emerging Markets goes the next stage of analysis of LEMs. This important new text moves beyond discussing the mere potential of LEMs for international business to consider how they will impact on the very nature of international business and the structure and operation of the world economy. The rise of LEMs creates three sets of challenges: 1. For LEM-based enterprises as they seek to enhance their competitiveness and internationalize 2. For existing multinational firms as they increasingly incorporate LEMs into their strategies

Despite the growing importance of the global emerging market (GEM) for the world’s business, economies, and politics, it has received a relatively scant amount of academic attention in business and economics courses. This textbook is the first to focus on the GEM and its strategic and economic characteristics. The Global Emerging Market: Strategic Management and Economics describes the fundamental economic base and trends of the global marketplace (GMP) as well as business and management development for the conditions of emerging-market countries (EMCs). Focusing on the formation of a strategic mindset and the decision making process, it explains how to analyze the basic economic factors and the global order, especially in times of crisis. This text also explains how to classify countries related to this new market of tremendous opportunities. Furthermore, the book includes recommendations on how to develop entry and exit strategies for the GEM, work in it and create efficient management systems. Features include: • extensive tables, charts, and graphs illustrating the strategic considerations of the GMP and the GEM • end-of-chapter study questions • practical examples based on the author’s involvement in the development of the GEM, from both sides of the international transactions. This academic book is the ideal guide for current business leaders and students on how to make strategic, symmetric, and asymmetric time-sensitive decisions related to the GEM.

This book covers the same material and more when compared with other international business texts, yet it is priced for the student’s pocketbook. A new international business text for a new and ever changing global environment. With a unique chapter covering International E-Commerce, Cullen is written in a unique way. Issues link the chapters. The logic is that to choose and implement strategies in international business, you need to understand the global, institutional, and cultural environment. In turn, you need to align functional strategies to support the more general multinational strategies. From the student’s point of view, the approach is designed to answer the questions of ’why do I really need to know all of this stuff?’ Selected Contents: Part 1: Introduction 1.

The Origins of Globalization Karl Moore, McGill University, Quebec, Canada and David Charles Lewis, California State University, USA Series: Routledge International Studies in Business History Origins of Globalization draws widely on ancient sources and modern economic theory to detail the concept of “known world” globalization, arguing that a mixed economy – similar in many respects to our own – existed in a variety of forms throughout the ancient world. By analyzing the business practices of the ancient world – phenomena such as resource and market seeking behavior, international trade from China, India and Rome, to Africa and even northern and western parts of Europe, Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) operating internationally and outsourcing production, multicultural workforces, tariff reduced zones, interregional tax issues, and the management of currency risks – the authors provide readers with a unique historical interpretation of the contemporary globalizing economy and a durable theoretical framework for future historical economic analyses.

International Business and Tourism Global Issues, Contemporary Interactions Edited by Tim Coles, University of Exeter, UK and C. Michael Hall, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Series: Routledge International Series in Tourism, Business and Management Whether it’s bungee jumping in Queenstown or visiting the Guinness factory in Dublin, where we travel – and what we do when we get there - has changed significantly in the past twenty years. This innovative textbook explores what is possibly the most unrecognized of international service industries, placing tourism in the context of contemporary globalization and trade in services. It provides new perspectives on tourism as a form of international business, and the implications for firms, the state and individuals. Split into four separate sections, with introductions outlining the key themes in each, it examines important topics such as: • the role of governance and regulation in tourism services • the effects of increased global mobility on tourism entrepreneurship • how tourism businesses are becoming internationalized • why other business sectors are increasingly interested in tourism. Case studies are used throughout to highlight important issues, from developments in the aviation industry to the rise of working holidays. This book gets to the core of a crucial service industry, and is essential reading for any researcher or student of tourism or international business.

The Internationalisation of Competition Rules
Takeovers and the European Legal Framework
Brendan J. Sweeney, Monash University, Australia
A British Perspective
Series: Routledge Research in Competition Law
Jonathan Mukwiri, Buckinghamshire New University, UK
The widespread move towards more market-driven models of political economy combined with the expanding internationalisation of business and commerce has led to a series of proposals for global competition rules. To date these proposals have been hotly contested. A critical issue is whether some form of international rule-making is required, or whether soft law solutions are sufficient. Competition rules may be required to combat the damage done by global cartels and to diffuse the tensions created when more than one nation seeks to regulate the same conduct. Competition rules may also be required to protect the integrity of the world trading system. International rule-making, however, presents its own problems, not the least of which is a concern with protecting national sovereignty. The Internationalisation of Competition Rules explores in depth whether there is a rational foundation for pursuing international competition rules, and what form these laws should take. Brendan Sweeney investigates various types of competitive conduct with a view to determining the nature of the international problems they present and the possible solutions. He takes examples from existing competition laws around the world, in particular the US and the EU both of which have a long history of enforcing established competition rules. He also examines existing unilateral, bilateral and multilateral approaches. Based on this investigation, the book proposes a minimum set of global rules. This research work will be of great interest to postgraduates and scholars and specialists in competition law, trade law and the globalisation of business rules.

Series: Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility Tourism is often described as an industry with high growth rates, and it is subject to radical change in how it is produced and consumed. However, there is still a relatively poor understanding of how such changes are brought about – that is, through innovation. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive review of innovation in tourism, while also considering how tourism itself contributes to innovative local, regional and national development strategies. This is a groundbreaking volume which provides an accessible introduction to a key but neglected topic. It provides a readable account of the multidisciplinary research on innovation and relates the emerging theoretical framework to tourism. A clear conceptual framework is complemented by fifty boxes which provide a range of illustrative international case studies. 2008: 234x156: 280pp Hb: 978-0-415-41404-3: £90.00

According to some commentators, some elements of management are universal while other aspects are unique to a given context. Moreover, much of what we know about Chinese management today is drawn from studies conducted with quantitative methods and at macro level. Less is known of managers in China in managing specific issues at work. This book adds to the existing body of knowledge by analysing current key strategic, as well as functional areas and issues facing Chinese managers trying to compete more effectively in the global market.
