Routledge New Directions in PR & Communication Research

As one of the key thinkers of social theory, public relations scholars have repeatedly turned to Habermas' work to inform their own scholarship. This book systematically reviews the distinct body of PR literature that has applied Habermas' theories to provide an in-depth and nuanced discussion on what this influential social theorist has to offer PR research. Demonstrating the applications and challenges for PR ethics and organizational communications, while opening less well-known concepts such as reflexivity, and double politics as avenues for future research, this unique source book will be of interest to all scholar and advanced students of public relations and communication studies.

As one of the key thinkers of social theory, public relations scholars have repeatedly turned to Habermas’ work. This book systematically reviews the body of public relations and communication literature that has applied Habermas’ theories for the first time, to provide an extensive and nuanced discussion on what one of the most influential social theorists has to offer public relations research. Taking concepts from seminal works such as the Theory of Communicative Action and the Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, this book explores applications of Habermas’ concepts. It confronts conflicts with Habermas’ critical understanding of public relations as moral communication, and explores indepth the concepts of moral justification and differentiation of lifeworld and system for their potential for PR research and practice. Demonstrating the applications and challenges for public relations ethics, and organizational communications while opening less well-known concepts such as reflexivity, crisis consciousness, and double politics as avenues for future research, this book will help public relations researchers harness the potential of Habermas’ methodological tools. It will be of interest to all scholars and advanced students of public relations and communication studies.

This book presents a cohesive collection of cutting-edge research focused on advanced decision-support methodologies for complex and ambiguous operational contexts. This volume systematically assembles ten pivotal studies employing uncertain decision-making, multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), and tailored optimization models to address substantive challenges in supply chain management, sustainable operations, and strategic planning.The contributions span a rigorous methodological spectrum, including fuzzy PDCA cycles for green performance evaluation, hybrid MCDM frameworks for lean tool selection, and robust optimization for resilient network design. Applications are drawn from critical domains such as healthcare logistics during epidemic response, sustainable supply chain configuration, and large-scale project trade-off analysis under resource constraints. Each chapter demonstrates the translation of theoretical computational models into applied solutions for decision-making under volatility, incomplete information, and multi-objective pressures.This volume will serve as a significant reference for academics and graduate researchers in management science, operations research, and industrial engineering. It provides a structured examination of how contemporary soft computing and operational research techniques can be leveraged to enhance analytical rigor and strategic outcomes in the face of pervasive environmental uncertainty.The chapters in this book were published in International Journal of Management Science and Engineering Management.

Innovation Decision-Making Under Uncertain Environment

This book responds to the dynamics of the currently much changed financial market environment by providing a text that presents a more up-to-date description of financial markets – one that offers more current insight into the behaviour of financial markets and financial sector institutions than is currently represented in available books on the subject.

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. In an era when economic, social, and geopolitical uncertainties are reshaping the world of management, Management Education and the Rise of Uncertainty of Global Business offers a timely, collective reflection on how business and management schools can prepare tomorrow's leaders. Drawing on insights from international experts, the book reimagines the internationalization of management education--not as a mere export of Western norms but as a catalyst for inclusion, peace, and mutual understanding. Showcasing innovative institutions and programmes across Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, the book highlights models of 'inclusive internationalization' that prioritize diverse practices, co-created pedagogy, and contextualized knowledge. It also explores shifting student expectations: a search for meaning, a drive for social impact, and a readiness to address twenty-first-century challenges like climate change, inequality, and technology. Amid growing pressure to specialize, sometimes at the expense of a common educational foundation, this book champions a universal vision for management education--one that develops adaptable, critical, and responsible professionals for a rapidly changing world.

Management Education and the Rise of Uncertainty of Global Business

Elon Musk may become the world's first trillion-dollar CEO. This reflects a broader trend: from 1978 to 2023, CEO compensation increased by more than 1,085%, while U.S. average worker pay grew by only about 11%. What was a 57-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990 expanded to nearly 268-to-1 by 2023, revealing a widening gap between executive and workforce compensation. Elon Musk is both a CEO and a Leader. In such rare cases, extraordinary compensation may be justified by exceptional vision, risk-taking, and long-term value creation. But does this justification apply to most CEOs? For many others, such as Nike's former CEO, pay has risen sharply without comparable leadership outcomes, raising concerns about systemic overpayment and eroding trust in business. Dr. Hairong Gui is an original thinker who combines analytical rigor, intuitive insight, and empirical practice, consistently choosing the right path rather than the easy one. Mr. William Bloom, MBA/JD, frames the book as both an intellectual achievement and a moral statement. Central to the book is Dr. Gui's Leader Valuation Model (LVM), the first-ever CEO compensation model grounded in leadership value rather than title or power, building transparency and a credible benchmark to realign responsibility, reward, and credibility.

Valuing Legacy vs. Leadership

Extraordinary Synergy Founder Built It CEO Cashed It

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

The Pornography Business

Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology

The traditional narrative of innovation often centers around the firm, overlooking the role of the customer as the ultimate judge and beneficiary of innovations. This book challenges the firm's right to define innovation, advocating instead for a customer-centric approach.The ultimate aim of this book is to help innovate both for and with the most critical stakeholder-the customer. To achieve this aim, the book explores various aspects of the customer perspective on innovation through five parts: 1) strategies for increasing market attractiveness through innovation, 2) commercial innovation, 3) social innovation, 4) digital innovation, and 5) innovation outcomes and prospects. Drawing on recent research from national innovation indexes in Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Belgium, and the USA, the book presents ideas and examples that explain how adopting the customer perspective on innovation can help transform challenges into opportunities and achieve higher returns.By exploring customer-oriented strategies and discussing the implications of commercial, social, and digital innovations, the book provides a detailed guide for leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, and students to navigate the complexities of modern business environments. It will be a valuable resource for scholars of innovation management, strategic management, and marketing.
