Built Environment
Disaster risk reduction in the built environment
Richard Haigh, University of Salford, UK
It is widely acknowledged that disaster risk reduction is a complex problem and multi-disciplinary in nature. The recovery role of the built environment disciplines from both natural and human disasters is well documented. In particular, post-disaster reconstruction has been the subject of a significant body of research with particular emphasis on developing countries that are less able to deal with the causes and impacts of disasters.

Business Ethics and Law
Corporate governance
David Crowther, De Montfort University, UK
It is generally accepted that the concept of governance has existed as long as any form of human organisation has existed. The concept itself is merely one to encapsulate the means by which that organisation conducts itself. Recently, however, the term has come to the forefront of public attention and this is probably because of the problems of governance which have been revealed at both a national level and in the economic sphere at the level of the corporation.

Hence this reading list begins by using references that will allow the student to understand where the concepts originated and what meanings can be attributed to CSR.

Energy sector management issues
Subhes C Bhattacharyya, University of Dundee, UK
The energy sector plays a critical role in any economy. Because of its wider influence on the economic wellbeing of a country and its international influences, it is hard to find a day when one issue or another related to energy supply, demand, security or reliability or the changing pattern of the supply mix does not hit the headlines.

Service management
Jay Kandampully, Ohio State University, USA
Service industries dominate most developed economies and are the fastest growing industries in most developing countries. Indeed, it is the changing concept of business and the influence of technology within both manufacturing and agriculture that have given services its pivotal role. Within both the business and social context, services represent the major contributor to the changes in our life. Services no longer constitute a mere add-on component but rather a value enhancer that differentiates the firm's core benefit from that of its competitors.

State capitalism
Usha Haley, Massey University, New Zealand
This reading list is aimed at students taking postgraduate or executive courses in State Capitalism. The reading list may stand on its own or in a course on Business-Government Relations, Managing in China or Doing Business in the Asia Pacific. State Capitalism refers to a strain of capitalism where the state, rather than private firms, constitutes the dominant actor. The state in these instances directs investment, primarily for political rather than economic purposes. To operate effectively in an increasingly interdependent, global environment, managers and academics have no choice but to understand the increasingly large swath of the world that practises State Capitalism.

Brand piracy and counterfeiting
Ian Phau, Curtin University of Technology, Australia
Piracy and counterfeiting is a global phenomenon. It is paramount for brand managers and policy makers to have a profound understanding of consumer behaviour, psychology, perceptions and attitudes towards counterfeiting in order to formulate appropriate branding strategies and effective legislation to counteract these illicit activities. Consumers need to be educated on the detrimental effects that counterfeiting can bring to a society on social, legal, and moral levels. It can be observed that there is an active stream of research focusing on piracy and counterfeiting, especially with issues pertaining to product innovation and market strategies for multinationals.

Social media and marketing
Eileen Bridges, Kent State University, USA
This list fills an important need for marketing educators, because, at this point in time, it is difficult for instructors to locate appropriate materials on the topic of social media, and published books are primarily trade-oriented. Therefore those asked to teach such a course must find a way to determine content and to cover key areas in a logical order, without benefit of established texts or syllabi. As there is not even much guidance available regarding what topic areas to include, this new list does much to help a first-time teacher with course preparation.

Performance Management and Measurement
Performance management and measurement in organizations
Joe Sarkis, Clark University, USA
The need for and development of an effective performance management and measurement (PMM) system cannot be understated. Yet, it is not an easy endeavour which encompasses both strategic and operational aspects of organizations, cross-functions and disciplines along the way. Given the breadth of this topic, it is surprising that few business schools offer courses that would help students to understand the various nuances and tools associated with PMM. Thus, with the efforts of graduate student Lisa Kwiatkowski and Professor Joseph Sarkis, an outline of readings in PMM from the Emerald Publishing publications data warehouse is presented.

Foundations of library and information science
Loriene Roy, University of Texas, USA
This is a time of change in library and information science (LIS) education. These changes include the emergence of the iSchools; expansion of instruction modes to distance delivery; a focus on competencies; launches of new certification programs; new attention to continuing education; the elevation of service learning within LIS education; and, finally, awareness of the needs and presence of library support staff. If there is a subtext to this discussion of new influences on LIS education it is technology, as many employers expect recent graduates to be their new technology gurus. Whether students take individual courses on database design, programming, or internet applications or whether they follow peer mentoring and self-training, they will be expected to demonstrate the rightful place and application of technologies. They will strive to acquire these skills throughout their studies and into and throughout their careers.
