"In the first six editions of this book, we pursued the premise that the world of work in the 21st century was very different from what it had been in the 20th century. That premise is even more relevant today and worth repeating. Today's workplace is technological and multicultural. Work is often accomplished by teams rather than by single individuals. In any given company or department, there is greater diversity in terms of demographic characteristics, interests, and styles than in past decades. Although mental and physical abilities remain important attributes for predicting job success, other attributes, such as personality, interpersonal skills, and emotional intelligence, are receiving increased attention. A satisfying life is increasingly defined as striking a balance between work and non-work. In addition, the psychological stability of work may be at an all-time low. Mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, outsourcing, gig work, the challenges to financial and housing markets, and rapidly changing technologies have all made the idea of lifelong employment at one company, or even in one occupation, an elusive dream. This book ties together all of these themes in a way that explores the rich and intriguing nature of the modern workplace"-- Provided by publisher.

This volume includes timely and impactful chapters on processes associated with effective global leadership. In these times of accelerating complexity and global inter-connectedness, a deeper understanding of the multiple contextual, organizational, and individual variables and processes associated with effective global leadership is critical. This volume contributes to bridging and integrating conceptual and practitioner perspectives in pursuing this deeper understanding. A new section of this year's volume is devoted to chapters that apply and expand concepts from traditional leadership to global leadership - an area that has heretofore received very little attention. In addition to thoughtful conceptual essays and empirical studies that advance the field, volume 9 introduces a "Practitioner's Corner" that contains articles written by consultants who provide perspectives gained from the "front lines" of global leadership development in client organizations. The volume's contributors range from well-known voices in the field to newly minted scholars with a fresh perspective.

"In the Fifth Edition of the bestselling text 'Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Approaches', John W. Creswell and Cheryl N. Poth guide researchers in selecting the best option for their studies by exploring, evaluating, and applying five qualitative research approaches: narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. For each of these qualitative inquiry traditions, the authors explore the philosophical underpinnings, history, defining features, common data procedures, and writing structures. With expanded content reflecting technological developments in the qualitative research process, more inclusivity and diversity in examples, and updated references, the Fifth Edition is an ideal introduction to the theories, strategies, and practices of qualitative research."-- Taken from Description on publisher web site."Although multiple audiences, both known and unknown, exist for any text, we direct this book toward academics and scholars affiliated with the social, human, and health sciences. Examples throughout the book illustrate the diversity of disciplines and fields of study including sociology, psychology, education, nursing, family medicine, allied health, urban studies, marketing, communication and journalism, educational psychology, family science and therapy, and other social and human science areas. Our aim is to provide a useful text for those who produce scholarly qualitative research in the form of journal articles, theses, or dissertations. We have pitched the level of discussion to be suitable for upper-division students and beyond into graduate school. For graduate students writing master's theses or doctoral dissertations, we compare the five approaches in the hope that such analysis helps in establishing a rationale for the choice of a type to use. For beginning qualitative researchers, we introduce the philosophical and interpretive frameworks that shape qualitative research, followed by the basic elements in designing a qualitative study. We feel that understanding the basics of qualitative research is essential before venturing out into the specifics of one of the qualitative approaches. We begin each chapter with an overview of the topic of the chapter and then go into how the topic might be addressed within each of the five approaches."-- Taken from Preface, page xv.
