Strategic Leadership and Leaders in Entrepreneurial Contexts: A Nexus for Innovation and Impact Missed?
2015
Research at the nexus of strategic leadership and entrepreneurial contexts has been encouraging, but some of the more innovative and impactful questions remain underexplored. The purpose of the Special Issue was to provide a forum for works that build on the constraints, challenges, characteristics, and other salient elements of entrepreneurial settings to advance theory and testing on strategic leadership effects, as well as enrich our understanding of firm behaviour and outcomes in entrepreneurial contexts. We first provide an overview and background of the Special Issue. We then provide a summary of the process and outcomes, including a synopsis of the accepted manuscripts. The discussio…
Distributed pedagogical leadership and generative dialogue in educational nodes
2012
The article presents practices of distributed pedagogical leadership and generative dialogue as a tool with which management and personnel can better operate in the increasingly turbulent world of education. Distributed pedagogical leadership includes common characteristics of a professional learning community when the educational actors intentionally share a common mission. There, all stakeholders take collective responsibility for students' learning. Generative dialogue is a way to negotiate in this realm in generating new knowledge and understanding. To introduce this process in practice, the article describes two Finnish learning environments where the stakeholders define, first, the c…
Case study of a Finnish training program for Chinese school principals

Quality leadership training has a positive effect on school leaders.

The data were collected by semi-structured interviews from six Shanghai principals and analyzed by inductive content analysis.

Winning the hearts and minds of followers: The interactive effects of followers' emotional competencies and goal setting types on trust in leadership
2015
La confianza de los seguidores es un elemento esencial de un liderazgo eficaz. Las aproximaciones tempranas a la formación de la confianza hacia los líderes, adoptaron un enfoque basado en evaluaciones basadas en información. Sin embargo, avances recientes en la investigación de la confianza sugiere que estas evaluaciones también contienen un componente afectivo. En este estudio proponemos que las competencias emocionales, como (1) atención, (2) claridad y (3) reparación emocional predecirán la confianza hacia el líder en momentos tempranos de la relación líder-seguidor. A medida que esta relación se desarrolla en el tiempo, las evaluaciones sobre la fiabilidad del líder cambiaran su objeti…

“The Limits” of Economic Growth in Romania
2014
Abstract A sustainable economic growth of GDP of 3-4% annually in Romania for the reduction of gaps in development was considered impossible by most institutions of various skill and opinion leaders, as well as of international financial bodies. The reasons cited were delayed public reforms, low growth potential as a result of the crisis, the overview status of the states in the Eurozone dependent on inside community trade and also the prospects for a lasting economic stagnation, the balance sheet effect, as a result of over indebtedness of firms and individuals that substantially reduced inclination towards investment and consumption. Contradicting these forecasts, in 2013, Romania's econo…
PSC; Current Status and Implications for Future Research
2019
The present chapter reviews all previous chapters of this book. Overall, the chapters offered many new perspectives on PSC research and practice. The validity and usefulness of the PSC concept was applied in Malaysia, Australia, and Iran, and for the first time in Canada and Germany, and in occupations (humanitarian work, university personnel) not investigated previously. This has been demonstrated in a series of qualitative studies (Biron et al., 2019, Chap. 15; Ertel & Formazin, 2019, Chap. 13; Loh et al., 2019, Chap. 9; Potter et al., 2019, Chap. 10). Several chapters introduced new conceptual or measurement related ideas, including the PSC as part of the broader concept of organisationa…
Waiting for a new leader: Eras and transitions in Cosa Nostra
2019
Partendo dal controverso dibattito che negli ultimi anni ha visto in Italia – soprattutto i mezzi di comunicazione di massa e le agenzie investigative – disputare sullo “stato di salute” delle organizzazioni criminali mafiose, quasi a volerne stilare una discutibile classifica di offensività e di pericolosità, il capitolo si interroga sull’attuale e delicata fase attraversata da Cosa Nostra, facendo ricorso a una prospettiva analitica multiproblematica e multidisciplinare (rielaborando il cosiddetto paradigma della complessità proposto da Umberto Santino alla luce dei più recenti studi e delle nuove prospettive analitiche emerse) e dando conto delle numerose ricerche (oggi spesso orientate …
Transactions in Mobile Electronic Commerce
2000
With the development of global networking, invention of WWW, and proliferation of Internet-enabled computer hardware and software into homes and pockets, a huge customer base has been created for electronic commerce. It is rapidly expanding in USA and Europe and Japan are following the trend. So far, the development of E-commerce has happened in a rather unregulated way especially in USA, whereas in Europe the European Commission has been developing a regulatory basis mainly in form of directives. Currently (12/1999) they have not yet all been accepted and a major restructuring of the regulatory framework has also been planned. Another technological development is the rapid growth of mobile…
