Handbook Of Intuition Research
Cheltenham: E. Elgar, 2009.
This groundbreaking interdisciplinary Handbook showcases the latest intuition research, providing an integrated framework that reconciles opposing views on what intuition is and how it works. The internationally renowned group of contributors explores different facets of the intuiting process and its outcome, the role of consciousness and affect in intuition, and alternate ways of capturing it. They tackle the function of intuition in expertise, strategy, entrepreneurship, and ethics and outline intuitive decision-making in the legal profession, medicine, film and wine industry, and teaching. The Handbook pushes the boundaries of our current understanding by exploring the possibility of non-local intuition based on the principles of quantum holography and investigating new techniques for developing intuitive skills.

Handbook On Multi-Level Governance
Cheltenham: E. Elgar,
The importance of multi-level governance in specific policy areas is highlighted, and the contributors – an international group of highly renowned scholars – report on the ways in which their field of specialization is or may be affected by multi-level governance and how developments could affect its conceptualization. European integration is considered from its unique standpoint as the key catalyst in the development of multi-level approaches, and the use of multi-level governance in other parts of the world, at both domestic and regional levels, is also considered in detail before focus is shifted towards global governance. The Handbook concludes with a presentation of six policy fields and instruments affected by multi-level governance, including: social policy, environmental policy, economic policy, international taxation, standard-setting and policing.

The Oxford Handbook of Business Ethics
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2009
The Oxford Handbook of Business Ethics provides a comprehensive treatment of the field of business ethics as seen from a philosophical approach. Business ethics raises many important philosophical issues. A first set of issues concerns the methodology of business ethics. What is the role of ethical theory in business ethics? To what extent, if at all, can thinking in business ethics be enhanced by philosophy, so as to provide real moral guidance? Another set of issues involves questions regarding markets, capitalism, and economic justice. There are related concerns about the nature of business organizations and the responsibilities they have to their members, owners, and society. This Handbook consists of twenty-four articles that survey the field of business ethics, covering all major topics about the relationship between ethical theory and business ethics. The articles are written by philosophers who offer a systematic interpretation of their topics and discuss various moral controversies and dilemmas that plague business relationships and government-business relationships

The Oxford Handbook of Diversity and Work
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013
As globalization permeates both consumer and labor markets, organizational workforces in the 21st century are comprised of greater diversity along a number of demographic dimensions. To keep pace with the changing business environment, research has considered what diversity means and its impact on group and organizational functioning. As such, there is a substantial body of research that investigates the concept of diversity, its effects, and the processes that underlie these effects. However, the number of questions regarding the what, why, and when of diversity still remain.
In The Oxford Handbook of Diversity and Work, edited by Quinetta Roberson, scholars across a variety of disciplines including psychology, sociology, management, law, and social work address these questions with the goal of providing a broad and deep understanding of the field. Based on comprehensive reviews of diversity theory and research from different perspectives, the authors highlight gaps in our current understanding of diversity in organizations and offer insightful directions for future research. With each chapter pushing forward evolution in our understanding of the operation of diversity, Roberson invites the reader into a thoughtful and provocative conversation about the study of diversity in the workplace.

The Oxford Handbook of Leadership
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
The study of leadership is a rapidly evolving, multi-faceted field. It is conceptualized as a social and cultural phenomenon, which cannot be fully understood from a single perspective. The leader, the follower, the context,
and the interactions amongst these elements must all be considered.
The Oxford Handbook of Leadership explores the complex relationship between leader, led, and the environment that constitutes leadership. Divided into five parts, this handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the field,
including:
- an exploration of the roles individual attributes, training, and development play in generating a leader who is capable of performing effectively
- an examination of the relationship between leadership and contextual factors in terms of an organizational role, one's culture, and a specific setting (e.g. military, higher education, and presidential)
- a critical look at to what extent leader and follower behavior in a social and/or organizational context are tied
- a consideration of what leader effectiveness means (i.e., what differentiates effective from ineffective leadership, including promising insights and scholarship that have emerged regarding this issue)
- a concluding chapter that provides some overall comments concerning the current state of leadership research and some thoughts about potentially fruitful directions.
Leadership research has come a long way, but the inherent dimensionality of the field leaves room for new insights and new directions. As the study of leadership progresses along the route to maturity, the volume will serve as a navigation tool that will provide a solid foundation for future research.

The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Psychology, Two-Volume Set
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
Organizational psychology is the science of psychology applied to work and organizations. It is a field of inquiry that spans more than a century and covers an increasingly diverse range of topics as the nature of work continues to evolve.
The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Psychology provides a comprehensive treatment of key topics that capture the broad sweep of organizational psychology. It features contributions by 69 leading scholars who provide cutting-edge reviews, conceptual integration, and directions for future research. The 42 chapters of the handbook are organized into 10 major sections spanning two volumes, including such topics imperative to the field as:
- the core processes of work motivation, job attitudes and affect, and performance that underlie behavior at work
- phenomena that assimilate, shape, and develop employees (i.e. socialization, networks, and leadership)
- the challenges of managing differences within and across organizations, covering the topics of diversity, discrimination, and cross-cultural psychology
- the powerful influence of technology on the nature of work and work processes
This landmark two-volume set rigorously compiles knowledge in organizational psychology to date and looks ahead with a roadmap for the future of the field. (Da sito Oxford University Press)

The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Socialization
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
Organizational socialization is the process by which a new employee learns to adapt to an organizational culture. This crucial early period has been shown to have an influence on eventual job satisfaction, commitment, innovation, and cooperation, and ultimately the performance of the organization. After decades of research on organizational socialization, much is now known about this important process. However, some confusion still exists regarding what it means to be socialized.
The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Socialization brings comprehensive reviews of the scholarly literature together with perspectives on what is being done in organizations to integrate and support new employees. The first section introduces the principles and practice of employee socialization and provides a history of the field, and the second section focuses on outcomes and antecedents of socialization. The third section on organizational context, systems, and tactics covers an extensive number of topics, including diversity, person-organization fit, and social networks, and special contexts such as socialization into higher-level jobs, and expatriation. The fourth section reviews process, methods, and measurement. The fifth section goes beyond the organizational newcomer to examine socialization in special contexts. The sixth section expands on practice-related issues and walks the reader through two case studies, one in an academic setting and another in a corporate setting. The final chapters provide a best practices approach, based on the highest quality research, summarize the state of the field, and offer an agenda for future research as well as suggestions for potential research-practice partnerships.
Unique and thorough in its approach, The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Socialization is a useful single source of information across the range of research relevant to organizational socialization. (Da sito Oxford University Press)

The Oxford Handbook of Professional Service Firms
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015
Over the past three decades the Professional Service Firm (PSF) sector has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing, profitable, and significant in the global economy. In 2013 the accountancy, management consulting, legal, and architectural sectors alone generated revenues of US$ 1.6 trillion and employed 14 million people.
PSFs play an important role in developing human capital, creating innovative business services, reshaping government institutions, establishing and interpreting the rules of financial markets, and setting legal, accounting and other professional standards. The study of PSFs can offer insights into the contemporary challenges facing organizations within the knowledge economy, and deepen understanding of more conventional organizations. Despite their significance, however, PSFs have until recently remained very much in the shadows of organizational and management research.
The Oxford Handbook of Professional Service Firms marks the coming of age of PSF scholarship with a comprehensive and integrative exploration of current research and thinking on PSFs, featuring contributions from internationally renowned scholars in the fields of organizational and management studies. It is divided into three distinct sections - the professions, the firms, and the professionals that work within them - and covers subjects from governance and leadership to regulation, entrepreneurship, and diversity.
Bringing together a broad range of empirical and theoretical perspectives, the Handbook offers many potentially important insights into the contemporary challenges of organizations in the knowledge economy and suggests new lines of inquiry that may shed further light on the activities and performance of PSFs and the professionals who work within them.

The Oxford Handbook of Retirement
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2012
As the Baby Boom generation approaches traditional retirement age, the aging of the global labor force will continue to lead to an increase in the number of people who will transition into retirement in the next decade. Retirement researchers have made several important advances in their field in recent years that represent a shift from examining retirement through an economic to a psychological perspective. Retirement is not simply a one-time decision-making event; rather, it represents a process through which workers decrease their psychological commitment to work and behaviorally withdraw from the workforce.
Approaching retirement from this perspective, The Oxford Handbook of Retirement offers comprehensive, up-to-date, and forward-thinking summaries of contemporary knowledge on retirement. The approach is interdisciplinary, spanning human resource management, organizational psychology, development psychology, gerontology, sociology, public health, and economics. The chapters assembled in this volume are organized into five parts, providing comprehensive coverage conceptualizations of retirement from multiple disciplines; existing theoretical perspectives and research findings on retirement, including adult development, career development, organizational and management, and economic perspectives; current and future challenges in retirement research and practice; and recommendations and suggestions for prospective areas of research.
Assembling expertly authored chapters from leaders in the field, this volume provides a comprehensive summary on the knowledge domain of retirement useful for students, academics, and retirement researchers. (Da sito Oxford University Press)

The Oxford Handbook of the Psychology of Working
Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press, 2013
Work is a central aspect of life, providing a source of structure, a means of survival, connection to others, and optimally a means of self-determination. Across the globe, people devote considerable time and effort in preparing for, adjusting to, and managing their work lives. Many of the major crises affecting people and communities have been and continue to be related to working, including wars, famines, poverty, and risks to personal safety. At the same time, working, when it is dignified and meaningful, can create the foundation for a satisfying life that allows people to support themselves and their families, and to find an outlet for their values and interests in the world of work.
This handbook is designed to expand and deepen a growing discourse about the psychological nature of working. Building on critiques of traditional assumptions and practices about work and career in psychology, the psychology of working perspective has been advanced as an inclusive, broad-reaching framework that explores the nature of working for the full spectrum of people who work and who want to work. This volume is characterized by disciplinary pluralism with contributions from a wide range of scholars and practitioners interested in the role of work in people's lives. Chapters explore theoretical foundations, the context of working, counseling and psychotherapy, organizational implications, community-based interventions, and public policy. As a major resource in the psychology of working field, this book is a must-have for counseling and clinical psychologists, I/O psychologists, mental health counselors, social workers, management consultants, and a wide array of researchers and students who are concerned with the nature of work in the 21st century, transformative scholarship, public policy, and inclusive psychological practice.

Un cavallino rampante, una mucca bianca e lilla, un coccodrillo: la marca è un fenomeno dilagante capace di evocare un mondo di significati, di suscitare emozioni, di influenzare valutazioni e comportamenti. L’autrice di questo libro esplora l’intricato mondo del brand in tutte le fasi della sua vita: dalla scelta del nome, al matrimonio con marche di altre aziende, alla creazione di una vera e propria famiglia di brand guidata dalla stessa impresa, alla complessa gestione della marca nel tempo perché resista sul mercato senza appassire, fino a fenomeni ambivalenti come il boicottaggio e la contraffazione. Un testo pensato sia per consumatori curiosi sia per quanti si occupano o si occuperanno di marketing.(da sito Il Mulino)

Budget
(Pixel)
Milano: Egea, 2012.
Il controllo di gestione e il budget nascono nelmomento in cui la gestione delle imprese incomincia a diventare complessa. Quindi ciò che «conta» sono l’assegnazione dei compiti alle persone la definizione delle unità operative e la chiara definizione dell’autorità di comando. Il controllo di gestione consiste proprio in questa capacità di governo. Quando poi gli strumenti di controllo di gestione sviluppati nell’area produttiva vengono applicati sia alla predisposizione delle risorse, sia all’integrazione delle diverse funzioni e in particolare di quella commerciale con quella produttiva, allora nasce il budget con tutti gli strumenti oggi utilizzati per orientare la gestione verso il profitto.

Di che cosa si occupa esattamente l’estetica organizzativa? E’ sufficiente una comprensione di tipo esclusivamente logico-analitico per conoscere e agire in un’organizzazione oppure è necessario tener conto anche delle nostre facoltà percettive? E’ importante il giudizio estetico nelle pratiche lavorative? Quali sono i processi attraverso i quali si crea l’estetica di un prodotto, di un ambiente lavorativo, di una sede di rappresentanza, di un luogo aziendale? In che modo l’arte influenza la creatività in un’organizzazione? Il libro approfondisce alcuni nodi tematici della disciplina presentandone i principali approcci di ricerca. (Da sito Carocci)

La corporate governance
(Farsi un'idea)
Bologna: Il Mulino, 2010
Che cos'è la corporate governance e perché è importante? Come si governa l'impresa moderna, grande o piccola, privata o statale, locale o multinazionale? Quali sono le relazioni tra proprietari, dirigenti e amministratori? Qual è il ruolo degli azionisti e dei mercati finanziari nel monitorare i comportamenti dei dirigenti? Gli autori del volume rispondono a queste domande spiegando i benefici della corporate governance per l'economia ed esaminando anche alcuni degli scandali più noti degli ultimi anni in Italia e all'estero. Uno snodo fondamentale per capire l'economia contemporanea, le differenze tra sistemi economici e ridurre il rischio di una nuova crisi globale.

Cost accounting
(Pixel)
Milano: Egea, 2015.
Quali criteri privilegiare per assumere le decisioni più convenienti? Nella gestione di un’impresa governare la relazione tra costi sostenuti e prezzi a cui offrire sul mercato beni e servizi prodotti è oggi uno snodo cruciale. Ogni decisione che porta ad acquistare e impiegare risorse – generando un’uscita – conduce prima o poi a un prodotto o a un servizio che genera valore per un cliente disposto a pagare un prezzo per averlo. Solo se l’entrata di cassa così generata sarà superiore al costo, l’insieme delle decisioni d’impresa (la sua gestione insomma) sarà alla fine soddisfacente. Per collegare analiticamente i costi con i ricavi, occorre conoscere metodologie di costing ben precise. (da sito Egea)

L’idea di fondo di questo volume è che l’attività economica investe la sfera di ogni individuo: quando acquistiamo prodotti o servizi, negoziamo un mutuo o versiamo in banca i nostri risparmi, percepiamo retribuzioni, svolgiamo attività economica interagendo -attraverso processi di scambio– con aziende diverse. È utile e importante conoscere le leggi che sottostanno allo svolgimento efficiente dell’attività economica e misurare i risultati che essa produce per orientare le proprie scelte nella direzione di rafforzare la sostenibilità del proprio progetto. Il libro è una guida rigorosa nell'impatto ma di facile lettura per chi voglia approfondire il tema del funzionamento delle imprese, delle decisioni chiave dal punto di vista gestionale e della rappresentazione numerica dei loro risultati ed essere in condizioni di interagire con efficacia con professionisti in materie economico-aziendali o giuridiche (commercialisti, funzionari di istituti di credito, fiscalisti ecc.) cogliendone il punto di vista e il "gergo" nei suoi termini essenziali.

Organizzazione
(Pixel)
Milano: Egea, 2013.
Il concetto di organizzazione ha diversi significati: è il processo attraverso il quale le persone con il proprio lavoro partecipano direttamente all’attività dell’azienda; è la funzione aziendale che governa il processo; è il risultato del processo, in questo senso il termine è considerato sinonimo di azienda. Da queste definizioni non emerge tuttavia il fatto che è il lavoro delle persone al centro della riflessione organizzativa ossia interrogarsi sul ruolo dell’individuo quale attore dell’attività organizzata e quale soggetto organizzato. Partendo da queste premesse gli autori analizzano il senso della disciplina, materia complessa, multidisciplinare e molto frammentata e il suo essere una fonte di vantaggio e differenziale competitivo per l’azienda. Particolare attenzione è data alla componente di gestione delle risorse umane, agli aspetti psicologici come leva di cambiamento personale e organizzativo, alla dimensione della qualità lavorativa e organizzativa e al rapporto tra organizzare, conoscere e apprendere nei contesti lavorativi. In un mondo del lavoro in continuo e rapido cambiamento gli autori fissano alcuni punti di riferimento fondamentali per comprendere le conseguenze dei cambiamenti in atto. (da sito Egea)

I quotidiani: politiche e strategie di marketing
(Bussole)
Roma: Carocci, 2007
Le apocalittiche previsioni, più volte formulate, sulla crisi dei giornali hanno trovato smentita nei fatti recenti, che evidenziano la realtà di un comparto editoriale in salute. In Italia, molti passi avanti sono stati compiuti per recuperare posizioni rispetto al resto della stampa occidentale, anche attraverso nuove strategie di marketing nate negli ultimi anni per valorizzare il potenziale di marca delle diverse testate. Il quotidiano è oggi un sistema articolato di prodotti e di servizi al lettore, tenuti insieme dall'identità propria di ciascuna testata. Il libro descrive le principali strategie di marketing dei giornali italiani, soffermandosi sull'evoluzione dei modelli giornalistici e imprenditoriali e sui più recenti progetti di diversificazione editoriale.

Strategia
(Pixel)
Milano: Egea, 2016.
"La strategia militare è centrata sulla competizione, con un grande interlocutore che è il nemico. La strategia di un'impresa è competizione sul mercato, solitamente con più competitori; ma è anche acquisizione di imprese concorrenti o complementari, sottoscrizione di alleanze, integrazione lungo la supply chain, ricerca e sviluppo di prodotti e soluzioni innovative, affermazione dei brand e conquista di nuovi clienti, capacità di attrazione delle risorse umane pregiate, conquista della fiducia degli investitori e delle banche e capacità di attrazione delle risorse finanziarie, responsabilità sociale. Può essere anche lobbying (per promuovere leggi favorevoli), sfruttamento legale delle risorse umane o ambientali (approfittando delle differenze nelle regole nei diversi paesi), ridotta belligeranza nei riguardi dei competitori (per mantenere più elevati i margini) o elusione fiscale. E - andando al di là della frontiera del lecito può essere corruzione, collusione, sfruttamento illegale del lavoro, evasione fiscale, inganno dei consumatori o del mercato finanziario, truffa. Qui sta la terza differenza, ovvero la rilevanza nelle scelte strategiche di un'impresa della presenza di regole del gioco e di arbitri, inesistenti o irrilevanti nelle strategie militari."
