Global Management, Local Resistances

Theoretical Discussion and Empirical Case Studies
Herausgeber: Schuerkens, Ulrike

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book originates from a research project involving extensive collection and analysis of primary and secondary materials (scholarly literature, statistical data, and interviews with key actors) on global management and local resistances in all major world regions during the last years. It seeks to assess the overall management situation in the world, looking at the world as a social system where some countries act as winners of socioeconomic globalization, others as losers, and some as both. Offering analytical and comparative insights at the global level, this book will be useful for scholars, students, NGOs, and policy makers.
