An individual’s success as a manager is largely dependent on the effectiveness of the training and education they received. However, as new technologies and management techniques emerge within the field, it becomes necessary to evaluate ways to optimize management education programs. Management Education for Global Leadership examines the complexities and challenges present in improvising the learning process in education programs. Highlighting real-life experiences, theoretical concepts, and practical applications within the field, as well as the role of information technologies in management education and training programs, this publication is a critical reference for scholars, practitioners, policy makers, students, politicians, and managers.

Advances in Global Leadership collects insights from leading scholars and practitioners and fresh ideas from promising newcomers to the field. In addition to traditional research, Volume 15 focuses on power and global leadership, an under-researched topic in the field of global leadership.

Effective education and training is essential to the positive development of a manager in corporate or organizational settings.

Women as Global Leaders is the second volume in the new Women and Leadership: Research, Theory, and Practice book series published for the International Leadership Association by IAP. Global leadership is an emerging area of research, with only a small but growing published literature base. More specifically, the topic of women’s advances and adventures in leading within the global context is barely covered in the existing leadership literature. Although few women are serving in global leadership roles in corporate and non-profit arenas, and as heads of nations, that number is growing (e.g., Indira Nooyi at PepsiCo, Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook, Marissa Mayer at Yahoo, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as president of Liberia, Angela Merkel as chancellor of Germany). The purpose of this volume is to provide the reader with current conceptualizations and theory related to women as global leaders, recent empirical investigations of the phenomenon, analysis of effective global leadership development programs, and portraits of women who lead, or have led, in a global role. The volume is divided into four sections. The first section covers the state of women as global leaders, containing chapters by Joyce Osland and Nancy Adler, pioneers in the field of global and/or women’s leadership. The second section describes approaches to women’s global leadership. The third section offers an analysis of programs that are useful in developing women as global leaders, with the final section profiling women as global leaders, including Margaret Thatcher, Nobel Laureate Malala Yousfazai, and Golda Meir. As Barbara Kellerman noted in the Foreword, "this book... should be understood as a collection whose time has come, precisely because women now have opportunities to lead that are far more expansive than they were even in the recent past. Though their numbers remain low, they are able in some cases to exercise leadership not only as outsiders, but also as insiders, from the very positions of power and authority to which men forever have had access."

This key book provides a multidisciplinary, integrative, current and comprehensive discussion of the dimensions, issues, leading-edge approaches and continuing challenges faced in defining, measuring and developing global leadership.

The Research Handbook of Global Leadership is an exciting new Handbook that brings together an international, prominent group of scholars to take a fresh look at global leadership, and query why and how global leaders can make a difference in our world both today and in the future.

The first book in this three-part mini series is dedicated to the connection between globalization and the field of leadership. The book is divided into three parts: The Connection between Leadership and the Global Context; The Impact of Globalization on the Study of Leadership; and The Impact of Globalization on the Practice of Leadership.

Presents papers by academics, practitioners and consultants who are engaged in global leadership, from multiple perspectives. This title includes chapters on: personality, leadership and globalization; the roles of international experience, experiential learning, and cultural intelligence in developing global leaders; and, ethical leadership.

The need to ensure principle-driven, legally sound, and ethically acceptable behavior in the global context is not an easy task for leaders. They face the requirement of meeting the needs and expectations of a diverse set of stakeholders. They are increasingly called upon to protect, preserve, and restore the resources of the environment. They are expected to improve human well-being and social equity and recognize and effectively address economic and social issues concerning equality, social justice, and human rights protection. How should leaders in global organizations go about meeting the multiple demands of a complex global stakeholder environment? This book explores the dilemmas, paradoxes, and opportunities that leaders in global organizations of all types confront daily and addresses how managers can and should think about and approach these complex issues in responsible and productive ways. This book will be of interest to students and scholars across business, management and the social sciences more broadly.

Due to the impact of globalization, business practices have been constantly evolving throughout the twenty-first century. Teachers and instructors are faced with the challenges of educating future business leaders on evolving concepts such as diversity, cultural environments, and the integration of countries and economies. Through these challenges, it is critical for educators to understand teaching tools and pedagogical practices that bring this globalized outlook into the classroom. The Handbook of Research on Cross-Cultural Business Education is an important research publication that explores the role of teaching tools used in business education to increase competitive business skills and make them applicable in cross-cultural business environments. It also provides business and management educators with teaching practices that promote learning via exposure to global cultures. Featuring a broad array of topics such as pedagogical modeling, cross-cultural learning, and social responsibility, this is an important resource for business and management educators, business managers, policy makers, researchers, business professionals, and graduate students.
