CALL for chapter proposals for Handbook of 21st Century Management (Sage, 2008)
I previously posted a request for issues for a book proposal to CMDNET. This worked out well and now I am the editor of the Handbook of 21st Century Management (Sage, 2008).
The Handbook of 21st Century Management will provide clear and useful discussion of 100 of the key issues and topics that managers are confronting in the 21st century by scholars from around the world. The structure of discourse for each issue and important associated perspectives and research will be concisely and meaningfully presented. New technologies, globalization and associated ethical implications frame many of these issues. Cutting-edge and unsettled topics in human resource management, strategic management, entrepreneurship, operations management, business and society, management information systems, leadership, international management, organizational culture, diversity management, managing in the post-911 world, not-for-profit management, healthcare management, educational administration, public administration and green management are introduced and discussed. Key bibliographic leads for those interested in further researching an issue are provided.
Sage has a series of such "Handbook of 21st Century" books coming out (sociology, psychology, communication etc.) The concept is that a management student will go to the reference desk in the library and say that he/she is looking for term paper topic and structure in say human resource management. Then, the reference librarian would guide the student over to the Handbook of 21st Century Management. It will have 100 chapters of 7000-8000 words each (10 pages) with two additional pages or so of bibliography.
I have 20 chapters signed on so far with chapter authors from a diverse group of universities including Swarthmore, Texas Tech, Helsinki University of Technology, Louisiana, Texas, Harvard Business School, Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Duke, Monash, San Diego State, Sabanci, Missouri, Technion, Bradford, University of the West Indies, Otago and Victoria. I already have almost 100 issue ideas but hope to get more and then go with the best ones. I hope to have a unit of about 10 chapters on conflict management and negotiation, hopefully with engaging and even exciting consideration of current conflict management and negotiation issues.
If you have an interesting, future-oriented, management issue that you would like to author a chapter on please send me a brief proposal with a list of related publications that you have authored.
Cybercollegially,
Charles
