Examples linking Management and Sustainability
New empirical evidence (often in the "Key Ideas" feature) on key aspects of theory, including managers' preferred sources of information; how investors in high-tech start-ups decide who to back; how culture affects risk-taking by entrepreneurs; and the link between bureaucracy and performance.

From the Back Cover

"The main strength is, in my opinion, in the way the author balances theory and practice –always backing empirical findings with theoretical and academic references and always translating concepts and theories into examples and cases."
Dr David Monciardini, Senior Lecturer in Management, University of Exeter
