Preface : Dominance, best practice and globalisation / Chris Smith ; The unravelling of manufacturing best-practice strategies / Alan Pilkington ; Policy transfer and institutional constraints : the diffusion of active labour market policies across Europe / Michael Gold ; Comparative management practices in international advertising agencies in the United Kingdom, Thailand and the United States / Chris Hackley and Amy Rungpaka Tiwsakul ; Corporate social responsibility in Europe : what role for organised labour? / Axel Haunschild, Dirk Matten and Lutz Preuss ; Can 'German' become 'international'? Reactions to globalisation in two German MNCs / Fiona Moore.

Debates about the consequences for work practices posed by the rapidly growing transnationalisation of business have become increasingly central to management studies, sociology, political science, geography and other disciplines. Remaking Management brings together a range of international contributors from different sub-disciplines in management to examine current theories of change or continuity of work practices in the context of fashionable claims about unstoppable globalisation or unmoveable national business systems. It provides theoretical and empirical challenges to both of these explanations. Rejecting an overemphasis on inevitable convergence or enduring divergence, the book reveals a mix of international, national and organisational-level influences on workplace practice. This is a rich and wide-ranging resource for graduate students and academics concerned with how organisations are responding to an increasingly complex commercial environment.
