Synopsis
The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online.
This book seeks broader critical engagement with the design, development and adoption processes of contemporary digital
technologies. Such technology has been the catalyst for great improvements in the fields of medicine, employment, education and
communications. Yet, a new digital age has also brought a unique set of societal, cultural and environmental challenges that have
yet to be fully understood and, when needed, confronted. It could be argued that aspirations to develop an information super-
highway that would be an instrument for human flourishing, has given way to vast stores of worthless trivia and is hijacking our
attention at every opportunity.
In the absence of robust sociological input at the conceptual stages of digital communication technology development, the
probability of these tools and instruments delivering change that is deeply personally, socially, culturally and environmentally
damaging will continue to grow. Critical exploration of the organisational, social, political and environmental context of digital
communications technology is necessary, without which technology will continue to be left ‘to its own device’ to determine the
social and cultural values of societies, for better or worse.
The Social, Cultural and Environmental Costs of Hyper-Connectivity investigates the profound effects 21st century digital technology
is having on our individual and collective lives and seeks to confront the realities of a new digital age. Changes brought about by
digital technology are frequently disruptive and, thus, need to be designed to protect against harm on society.

management Addressing Urban Shrinkage in
Small and Medium Sized
Towns: Shrink Smart and Re-
grow Smaller
Emerald Points
Authors
Hans Schlappa
University of Hertfordshire, UK
Tatsuya Nishino
Kanazawa University, Japan
Synopsis
In Europe and other developed countries, much of the population live in small and medium sized towns. For many such places the
pursuit of growth is no longer a viable strategic option. As the ability of small towns to compete with larger cities for private
investment and government support diminishes, the number trapped in a spiral of long-term decline grows.
Beginning with a brief overview of the global context, highlighting that urban shrinkage and decline is a widespread problem,
Schlappa and Nishino illustrate how small towns can generate sustainable forward strategies in contrasting institutional contexts by
fostering co-production, adjusting public facilities and right sizing the urban area.
The analytical tools and practical examples provided by Schlappa and Nishino are relevant for political and administrative
decisionmakers, leaders of civil society and business organisations in developing locally appropriate, creative and robust strategies to
shrink smart and re-grow smaller.

Education Building Teacher Quality in
India: Examining Policy
Frameworks and
Implementation Outcomes
International Perspectives on Education and
Society, Volume 41
Editors
Alexander W. Wiseman

Preeti Kumar
Independent Researcher, USA
Synopsis
In an era of educational globalization, teacher quality is heralded as a key factor to improve education quality worldwide. Since the
1980s, global, national, and local education policies and reforms have consistently focused on improving teacher quality in order to
improve student learning outcomes. In India, which has one of the largest student populations and fastest growing economies in
the world, the quality of teaching is blamed for the poor performance by Indian students on internationally-comparative
assessments. As a result, Indian national policy documents and curriculum frameworks have repeatedly called for drastic
improvements in teacher preparation and performance, but with few widespread results.
By identifying and analyzing various measures of teacher quality, and how teacher quality varies in India, this book provides an
evidence-based framework for policymakers to further improve teacher quality in India. Building Teacher Quality in India provides
suggestions for further research in order to augment educational practices in India, secure better student achievement, and improve
the country's global standing.
This book is essential reading for education researchers and policymakers looking at teacher quality as a measure to improve student
performance.

A Circular Argument: A
Creative Exploration of Power
and Space
Emerald Studies in Culture, Criminal Justice and the
Arts
Author
Martin Cathcart Frödén
Synopsis
Uniquely combining two parts, one critical in the form of a research piece, and the other creative in the form of a fictional novel, this
ground-breaking book spans creative writing, criminology and architecture to look at the ways in which power and hierarchies are
explored and exploited in space.
Part one, A Circular Argument, is informed by a series of reflections on the author’s work as a prison teacher. Delving into the
obsession with the circular as an architectural gesture and as a concept combining containment and transparency, the author
examines spatial hierarchies across time, from the ideal planned city of the Middle Ages, to the all-seeing eye of modern digital
society.
Part two, The Out, follows the fictional story of a disgruntled architect, a clever prisoner and an ingenious escape plan. Exploring
how the complications and surprises of human interaction colour and change the supposedly watertight systems of social control
society designs, the novel disrupts how we might think about space and power.
Injecting new energy and creative perspectives into traditional academic research, this practice-led book is an innovative exploration
between critical and creative approaches, and between multiple social and spatial hierarchies.

Computational Organizational
Cognition: A study on thinking
and action in organizations
Author
Davide Secchi
University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
Synopsis
In Computational Organizational Cognition, Davide Secchi presents an innovative definition of organizational cognition using a
research tradition that builds on the Embodied/Distributed/Extended Cognition (EDEC) perspectives and it is developed through
agent-based computational simulation modelling.
After an overview of EDEC perspectives, Computational Organizational Cognition presents four simulations which allow readers to
clearly assess the advantages of agent-based computational organizational cognition (AOC) for both theory and practice. The book
attempts to demonstrate how AOC is a useful if not essential instrument to explore, understand and analyze the inner complexities
of organizational cognition. AOC is a powerful tool and an approach for organizational research enquiry at the service of both
organizational scholars and cognitive scientists.

Criminal Justice Responses to
Maternal Filicide: Judging the
Failed Mother
Author
Emma Milne
Durham University, UK
Synopsis
Analysis of criminal cases reveals that women suspected of killing their newborn children are some of the most vulnerable in our
society and that infanticide is not just a historical issue but one that has modern implications. While women are less likely to commit
violent crime, maternal infant homicide is an enduring form of offending that needs to be understood in a wider social context.
In Criminal Justice Responses to Maternal Filicide, Milne provides a comprehensive analysis of conviction outcomes through court
transcripts of 15 criminal cases in England and Wales during 2010 to 2019. Drawing on feminist theories of responsibilisation and
'gendered harm', she critically reflects on the gendered nature of criminal justice's responses to suspected infanticide.
This contemporary study makes a novel contribution to the fields of law, criminology and gender studies, arguing that through its
inability to recognise the vulnerable position of accused women, and respond accordingly, the application of law reflects wider social
judgments of pregnant women and mothers who challenge or fail to fulfil ideals of motherhood.

Synopsis
Stock market manipulation is detrimental to traders and corporations, causes unnecessary price fluctuations, and only benefits
financial criminals. The research presented here determines an appropriate model to help identify stocks witnessing activities that are
indicative of potential manipulation through three separate but related studies.
In Developing an Effective Model for Detecting Trade-Based Market Manipulation, classifiers based on three different techniques
namely discriminant analysis, a composite classifier based on Artificial Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm and support Vector
Machines is proposed. The proposed models help investigators, with varying degree of accuracy, to arrive at a shortlist of securities
which could be subject to further detailed investigation to detect the type and nature of the manipulation, if any.
Following a fluid outline, Developing an Effective Model for Detecting Trade-Based Market Manipulation, introduces the topic,
explores the aims and scopes of the research, before delving into the data and modelling to explore their application to the stock
market to detect price manipulation.

Over recent decades a variety of tools, regulations, and funding and support schemes have been developed in the EU to promote
and enhance entrepreneurial activities. However, research supporting entrepreneurial activities in the EU remains under-researched.
Entrepreneurship, Institutional Framework and Support Mechanisms in the EU aims to shed some light on the important and yet
crucially under-explored interactions between entrepreneurship, institutions and support mechanisms within the EU.
This collective volume sets the foundations of a comprehensive discussion which focuses on the determinants of boosting EU
entrepreneurship in local, regional, national and supranational levels. With its scope will extend to all major, relevant and interrelated
aspects, Entrepreneurship, Institutional Framework and Support Mechanisms in the EU provides a go-to source of current thinking
in this area.

Gang Entry and Exit in Cape
Town: Getting Beyond The
Streets in Africa’s Deadliest City
Author
Dariusz Dziewanski
University of Cape Town's Faculty of Law, South Africa
Synopsis
Although gang violence is a concern being debated by academics, politicians, and communities around the world, effective
solutions are in short supply, and too little research concentrates on understanding how people can leave gangs and violence.
Responding to that need, this book provides a detailed qualitative account of what it is like to join and then disengage from gangs in
Africa's deadliest city.
Through the life stories of twenty-four former Capetonian gang members, alongside hundreds of hours of additional interviews and
observation from five years of ethnographic research, Dariusz Dziewanski reimagines gangsterism in a way that pays heed to the
overwhelming force of violent street culture, but also confirms the possibility of overcoming crime and violence amid
disenfranchisement and disadvantage.
Rather than simply reproducing the poverty-crime-violence narrative, the book demonstrates how gang members can – and have –
transformed their lives, challenging the pessimistic conclusions commonly attributed to gang participants. Even gang scholars
studying street culture usually portray the end point to gang life as either prison or a body bag. By presenting evidence about
successful gang exit, Dziewanski showcases a practical starting point for changing how criminologists think about gangs and street
culture – offering hope to those trying exit gang life, as well as those trying to help them do so.

Synopsis
In the field of business and management, the core concept associated with migration sees “difference and distance” as liabilities,
whether they are national, cultural, geographic, or semantic. While existing research is valuable, recently it has been suggested that
an emphasis on liabilities and adverse outcomes associated with such differences may hinder our understanding of the conditions
that help to leverage the value of diversity in a wide range of contexts.
Global Migration, Entrepreneurship and Society seeks to explore these seemingly interconnected processes, offering a safe space to
critically examine the specific political contexts of excluded groups and develop a much-needed theoretical and policy-related set of
writings that can cast light on the workings and complexities of processes of global migration, entrepreneurship and societal
integration.

Strategy Harnessing the Power of
Failure: Using Storytelling and
Systems Engineering to
Enhance Organizational
Learning
Authors
John Steven Newman
Consultant, USA
Stephen M. Wander
Consultant, USA
Synopsis
Failure informs more generously and reliably than success. Failure is the best indicator of what’s working and what’s not in any
complex system or enterprise. All failures will inevitably reveal latent defects and/or failure modes that are invariably buried within the
people, processes, materials, design, manufacturing, and management that comprise the complex system. In this new framework
from former NASA aerospace professionals, Newman and Wander employ a unique system failure case study (SFCS) paradigm,
originally developed to stimulate systems thinking and lessons learning at NASA, that combines storytelling and systems engineering
designed to enhance organizational learning.
The authors employ the SFCS approach to explore a vast array of failure events in multiple sectors of transportation, industry,
aerospace, construction, and critical infrastructure. They provide an Integrated Analysis seeking trends, patterns, and universally
applicable insights that readers can use to recognize areas of potential vulnerability within their own activities. The authors then
identify specific actions within the span of control of enterprise leaders, project managers, process owners and operators which can
be implemented to manage risk in high consequence, high risk activities.

HR Without People?: Industrial
Evolution in the Age of
Automation, AI, and Machine

The Future of Work
Authors
Anthony R. Wheeler

M. Ronald Buckley
University of Oklahoma, USA
Synopsis
As artificial intelligence and machine learning practices grow, entire industries and jobs could become more automated or cease to
exist altogether. HR Without People? traces provocative and challenging timelines for future developments in ten, thirty and fifty
years’ time, to interrogate how modern HR practices need to respond to far reaching technological and industrial change.
Focusing on the role these technologies are playing in changing the HR profession and how they could and should develop industry
practices in the future, HR experts Anthony R. Wheeler and M. Ronald Buckley explore how this profession has a vital role in
responding to these changes and how it can adapt to meet the new challenges faced by both employers and employees.
Examining key issues such as the effects of big data and algorithms ongoing role in influencing recruiting and selection, the changes
in virtual technology that will alter training, and how the role of government will expand to address the needs of citizens affected by
the rate of change in workforce displacement, HR Without People? is a stimulating and confrontational challenge to conventional
thinking on this people-centric profession’s role in the future of work.

Synopsis
As society faces significant disruptions, the need for transformative innovation has never been more vital. However, this urgency is
challenged in the digital era, characterized by incessant new technologies, extreme connectivity, and data transparency. Leaders
seeking transformative innovation in the digital era face a new dilemma: socially orchestrating the synchronization of ideas that
simultaneously encourages collective action.
IDeaLs – Innovation and Design as Leadership – was established to research this conundrum. Inspired by the actual transformation
journeys of multinational companies, and based on research with 7 global companies, IDeaLs explores how re-framing our
traditional theories through the lens of Humanism reveals opportunities for a more integrated approach to engaging people for
systemic change.
To empower innovation leaders, the dimensions of IDeaLs build a scaffold for systemic awareness and conscious intent called
Design-Driven Transformation. This evolving research agenda aims to examine in-depth the potency of an integrated approach,
laying a foundation for more systemic ways to engage people and transform existing situations into preferred futures.

Synopsis
The vast majority of national authorities have made a public commitment supporting a single set of high-quality global accounting
standards as of January 13, 2021 requiring or permitting the use of IFRS Standards for domestic, publicly accountable companies
and institutions. This includes all member states of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), in which IFRS
Standards are mandatory for all companies whose securities trade in a regulated market.
Despite this, there still remains a lack of research on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) implementation and this
inaugural volume of Contributions to International Accounting (CIA) aims to address this vital gap, focusing on providing relevant
and timely information for local and international policymakers.

Synopsis
In light of a new wave of globalisation, cultural mobility, and criticism of Anglo-American domination, how must educational
administrators and leaders respond to the challenges of internationalising their curricula and accommodating diversity?
This edited collection offers conceptual frameworks, models, theoretical approaches, and strategies that can inform and guide the
development of a genuinely international curriculum. Offering an in-depth look at cases in countries such as Sweden, the US and
UK, Turkey, Oman, Cameroon, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Australia, the authors investigate how factors such as
institutional culture, faculty recruitment and development, learning styles, accreditation and standards, political orientation, policy,
and availability of financial resources may either facilitate or inhibit the internationalisation of the curriculum. The collection also
includes broader international issues of diverse humanisms, postcolonial issues, and corruption, fraud and abuse in
internationalisation that has occurred that need to be addressed in educational administration and leadership curricula to improve
internationalisation.
Acknowledging the need for a much broader set of cultural traditions within which educational administrators and leaders are
equipped to function, this book provides a critical insight into how they might navigate the challenges of creating a truly international
curriculum.

Interdisciplinary Reflections on
Practice and Portrayal
Emerald Interdisciplinary Connexions
Editors
Kylo-Patrick R. Hart
Texas Christian University, USA
Teresa Cutler-Broyles
University of New Mexico, USA
Synopsis
The term 'kink' evokes a variety of cultural responses ranging from curiosity and arousal to disgust and fear. Many of these responses
are based on assumptions about its practices and participants, due to often inaccurate and ever-more-frequent representations in
popular culture.
These selected authors challenge those assumptions and emphasize how a number of non-normative sexual activities and ways of
being can be empowering and liberating rather than deleterious or 'deviant', helping to bring the world of kink out of the shadows.
They illuminate past and present kinky phenomena by exploring BDSM, experimentation, fetishism, gender bending, performativity,
and sexual role-playing, as experienced in a variety of domains and represented in literature, film, and television.
Contributing to revised notions of inclusivity and acceptance, this interdisciplinary work deftly identifies both historical and current
approaches to understanding and analyzing kink, and pinpoints avenues for future research. It is an important addition to the
emergent areas of BDSM and kink studies.

Everyday Life for Fun and
Fulfillment
Emerald Points
Author
Robert A. Stebbins
University of Calgary, Canada
Synopsis
Acknowledging that the challenge facing social science is how to inject some order into the common-sense notion of leisure
lifestyles, this book, written by a major player in the field of leisure, considers how to turn the study of both serious and casual leisure
into a useful concept for guiding research.
Developing the common-sense notion that leisure lifestyles have time and space dimensions, Stebbins delves into distinctive leisure
lifestyles which occur around particular free-time activities such as the serious ones where participants must routinely train, practice,
rehearse, gather information, and those that are casual such as bingo, lunches with colleagues, and outings of small walking
groups. Demonstrating the nuances of each, and analysing how serious activities are structured along the lines of the social world in
which every lifestyle is embedded, this book revolutionises the idea of leisure lifestyle, turning it into a workable concept for guiding
research, while also enriching our understanding of what it means. Striving to meet the test of a critical challenge in the field, this
book is a refreshing new addition to the work on leisure, from a highly-respected and established scholar.

Synopsis
Research and development infrastructures are a critical success factor in the platform of science and technology. In turn, an R&D
preliminary feasibility study is essential to establish fairness and social credibility of a plan, including expert review, information
disclosure and alternative setting.
Preliminary Feasibility for Public Research & Development Projects explains how to evaluate R&D business by exploring the five key
features of policy implication, policy improvement, preliminary feasibility study, R&D evaluation, and R&D strategy. Presenting policy
measures to ensure the sustainability of R&D projects, Preliminary Feasibility for Public Research & Development Projects will help
develop strategic measures for R&D preliminary feasibility studies while proposing ways to enhance the effectiveness of these
studies, promote efficiency in public investment projects, and enhance the financial efficiency of large investment projects.
