| By (author): Frode Nyeng |
| ISBN10-13: 8202264081 : 9788202264086 |

| Title: CSR & Beyond |
| Sub-title: A Nordic Perspective |
| Edited by: Atle Midttun |
| ISBN10-13: 8202412153 : 9788202412159 |
| Following the neoliberal turn in the 1980s, leading global companies have established an influential trend in business through adoption of the doctrine of corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSR). This book critically explores the new megatrend and its varying interpretations and presents overviews of several fields of CSR practice: governance, business ethics, SRI/ESG investment, communication, reporting, labour relations/HR, supply chain management, life cycle analysis, climate strategy, innovation, leadership and public policy. The book also presents visions of CSR development going forward. While the book contributes to the international research frontier, it also reflects its Nordic context, both with respect to authorship and empirical focus. Chapters on leading companies and on state CSR initiatives illustrate how the Nordic tradition has fostered pioneering CSR positions both in business and public policy. In the final chapter the book engages in the broader international debate on CSR, democracy, and value creation, with leading international critical thinkers in dialogue with industrial strategists. |

| Title: Graduate Mathematics for Business, Economics and Finance |
| By (author): Eivind Eriksen |
| ISBN10-13: 8202576393 : 9788202576394 |
| GRADUATE MATHEMATICS FOR BUSINESS, ECONOMICS AND FINANCE is intended as a textbook for a course in mathematics for master students in business, economics and finance. The language of mathematics is extensively used to analyse problems in economics and finance, and the level of mathematical competence required of graduate students often exceeds that which is taught in undergraduate mathematics courses. This book covers the relevant mathematical models, theories, and methods. The presentation is centred around many worked examples which are written out in full to facilitate understanding of the underlying theory. The authors aim is to develop both a deep conceptual understanding of the material covered and fluency with the computational techniques. The interested reader will find many proofs often lacking in other textbooks and many relevant applications. The main topics covered are linear algebra, optimization in several variables, differential and difference equations, and systems of differential and difference equations. An appendix provides a short introduction to complex numbers and trigonometric functions. In addition to the large number of worked examples, each chapter includes several problems and exercises. |
| Table of Contents: |
| Preface; Linear systems and Gaussian elimination; Vectors and vector spaces; Matrices and determinants; Eigenvectors and eigenvalues; Unconstrained optimization; Constrained optimization; Differential equations; Difference equations; Systems of differential and difference equations; A: Complex numbers and trigonometric functions; B: Indefinite integrals. |

| Title: Idea Work |
| Sub-title: Lessons of the Extraordinary in Everyday Creativity |
| By (author): Arne Carlsen, Stewart Clegg, Reidar Gjersvik |
| ISBN10-13: 8202403375 : 9788202403379 |
| What does it take to find oil in an area where many have tried, but failed? What does it take to design buildings that become prize-winning cultural landmarks? And what can the best architects, oil explorers, business lawyers, journalists, and business developers within banking and trading analysis have in common? Idea Work can provide the answers. This book builds on a four-year research project and describes what extraordinary idea work looks like in practice. The authors take you behind the scenes of some of Norway's leading companies and show how surprisingly similarly they work when they are working creatively to develop and realise new ideas. The book gives us, for example, a glimpse of how Snøhetta designed the Opera and the 9/11 memorial, and how explorers at Statoil discovered the most oil of all oil companies in the world in 2011. Narratives are presented on how prepping, sketches, pin-ups, drama, wonder, and punk are important aspects of the extraordinary. Examples are supported by theory, placing this book at the forefront of international research. Idea Work will appeal to practitioners as well as students. It recounts engaging stories from actual production processes and combines new theoretical perspectives with practical advice. It will also be of interest to anyone working with development, particularly with developing new ideas. From a professional standpoint, this book is an uncommon contribution to describing and understanding creativity as something collective and grounded in everyday activity. |

“Prepare to be surprised. This book on idea work significantly enriches how we see, understand and do the everyday work of making ideas transformative. The book is simultaneously simple and profound, playful and serious, practical and theoretical. No doubt it will be useful and used by anyone who is curious about how ideas become real in everyday activities.” - Jane Dutton, Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor of Business Administration and Psychology, University of Michigan

“Idea Work is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding and – not least – practising everyday organizational creativity. The book's focus on collective creative practices is highly innovative and will prove invaluable to organizations that care about being on the leading edge of what they do. “ - Professor Bent Flyvbjerg, Chair of Major Programme Management, University of Oxford, author of ‘Making Social Science Matter’.

“The growing interest for practice based studies has found its way to creativity and innovation studies in this beautifully designed book Idea Work. Carlsen, Clegg and Gjersvik take an almost anthropological view on daily activities of those involved in idea creation in organizations. The empirical rich book provides the reader new, detailed and applicable understandings of how people in organizations engage, create, materialize, communicate, resist and realize ideas. Research on creativity and innovation has never been so 'down to earth' and inspire us to see creativity through a practice lens. The found qualities of idea work are valuable to both academics, students and practitioners in the field of creativity, innovation and design.” - Professor Alfons van Marrewijk. Professor in Business Anthropology, VU University Amsterdam

"Reading this book enables us to appreciate that extraordinary idea work lies essentially in performing ordinary activities, in a whole range of work settings, extraordinarily - with love. Idea Work captures not just the dynamic processes that make the impossible possible. It arrests the magic of doing what we do for the love of it, and what it has the potential to create. A must read for anyone who cares to live a more fulfilling (working) life!" - Elena Antonacopoulou, Professor of Organizational Behaviour at University of Liverpool Management School/Senior Fellow of Aim (the Advanced Institute of Management Research)

| Title: Meaning at Work |
| By (author): Nicholas Ind |
| ISBN10-13: 8202315719 : 9788202315719 |
| We spend much of our waking time working, but sadly, most people are disappointed with what they do. In this book Nicholas Ind asks why we get bored and frustrated with our jobs and then suggests the attitudes and behaviour we should adopt to find fulfilment. Drawing on ideas from philosophy and business practice and illustrated with references to films, art and literature, Ind shows that people can find meaning if they engage with their jobs, challenge themselves to be open to the ideas of others and take an active part in shaping their organisations. Using interviews with artists, academics, film and theatre directors, entrepreneurs and business managers as inspiration, Ind demonstrates how we can realise our potential as individuals and make the organisations of which we are part, more successful. Whether you are a leader of an organisation, an employee, a student or about to start work, this book provides a rich source of ideas. |

| Title: Scandinavian Perspectives on Management Consulting |
| Edited by: Steinar Bjartve, Göran Roos |
| ISBN10-13: 8202234239 : 9788202234232 |
| This book focuses on the importance of methodology for ensuring quality in the field of consulting. The book introduces a wide range of methodologies for interventions and some how to check-lists for both the provider and the buyer of consulting services. Scandinavian perspectives on management consulting is meant to provide the reader with a healthy scepticism towards the profession of consulting as well as an understanding of the roles of the consultant. This means that the buyer needs to understand what he is buying, what to be wary of, and how to evaluate process, outcome, and professional relationship. The provider needs to understand what he is selling and what the customer is looking for, and above all, understand the importance of adopting a scientific approach to the services he is providing. In addition to being a valuable source of insight for the buyers and the providers of consulting services, Scandinavian perspectives on management consulting is also well suited for management students, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. |
