1 Johnsen, Hans Christian Garmann (ed)
Coping with the future : rethinking assumptions for
society, business and work / Hans Christian Garmann
Johnsen, Halvor Holtskog and Richard Ennals.-- London:
Routledge, 2018.
xix, 286p. , 25cm.
ISBN : 9781138559318.
303.49 JOH 146562
This book redefines the nature of modern business. In
contrast to recent trends, it has a focus on human-
centred manufacturing and on decision-making which goes
beyond a focus on short-term profit. The liberal
capitalism of the USA and the UK is not the only
current variety of capitalism. The book pulls together
current research and practice and poses new questions
based on case studies. It addresses an intended audience
in business and universities, including business schools,
around the world.

2 Gerard Delanty
Community / Delanty, Gerard.--3rd ed.-- London: Routledge
, 2018.
x, 251p. , 20cm.
ISBN : 9781138068124.
307 DEL 146561
The author begins this stimulating critical introduction
to the concept with an analysis of the origins of the
idea of community in Western utopian thought, and as a
theme in classical sociology and anthropology. He goes on
to chart the resurgence of the idea within communitarian
thought and postmodern philosophies, the complications
and critiques of multiculturalism, and new manifestations
of community within a society where changing modes of
communication produce both fragmentation and
possibilities of new social bonds.

This book provides an international perspective on the
development of co-operatives since the mid-nineteenth
century, exploring the economic, political, and social
factors that explain their varying fortunes and
transformation into different forms. By looking at what
co operatives are, how they have changed, the
developments as well as the persecutions of the co-
operative movement, and how it is an important force in
promoting development and self-sufficiency in non-
industrialized areas, this book provides valuable insight
not only to academics, but also to practitioners and
policy makers.

This book demonstrates how to conduct collaborative cross
cultural research and investigates the field-s nuances
and dilemmas. The book focuses on rich, real-life
attempts to negotiate and develop culturally sensitive
theoretical and conceptual frameworks, equivalent
studies, and systems of relationships across distances,
languages, ethics, and practices. Positioning all
research as a political and moral act, these grounded
equivalency models consider and represent issues of race,
colonization, immigration, indigenous populations, and
more.

8 Dekker, Wim den
Global mindset and cross-cultural behavior : improving
leadership effectiveness / Wim Den Dekker.-- London:
Palgrave Macmillan, 2016.
xix, 230p. , 22cm.
ISBN : 9781137509901.
658.049 DEK 146566
Examining the importance of cultural attitudes on human
resource practices, this book addresses an important, but
often neglected aspect of cross-cultural leadership. The
author discusses how the mindset of a manager can
influence cross-cultural leadership behavior and
behavioral intentions. It shows how an intercultural and
global approach improves managerial attitudes towards
different cultural values, intercultural interactions and
motivation. Using a behavioral intentions model to
provide a tool for predicting cross-cultural leadership
behavior, the author demonstrates how this can be applied
to human resource strategy and practice.

11 Blackston, Max
Brand love is not enough : a theory of consumer brand
relationships in practice / Max Blackston.-- New York:
Routledge, 2018.
xvi, 141p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9781138039810.
658.827 BLA 146559
How would you feel about a bank that handles all of your
financial needs efficiently, but made you feel like a
dummy? In a relationship between two people, what the
other person thinks of you (or what you believe they
think of you) exerts great influence on the quality of
your relationship. The same is true for brands. In this
book, the author extends his theory on consumer brand
relationships introduced in the 90s. He introduces a new
construct, called "brands- attitude", which goes beyond
the familiar concept of brand love. Brands- attitude
describes more fully the two-way street that exists
between consumers and brands and fills a crucial gap in
traditional branding literature in explaining consumers-
brand purchasing and usage behavior.
