This is borne out by the organisations that excel and those which fail. However we lead in a rapidly changing world where public services face multiple and overlapping crises, and leadership must evolve to adapt to this C21st context. The research book, edited by Stephen Brookes, is contemporary in its context and looks forward to what will succeed in the future as well as reflecting upon the lessons of the past. It will energise and provoke the thoughts of the most experienced leader as well as providing a deep well of knowledge for the newest leaders ambitious to do their best to make a positive difference to our society.’ – Andy Marsh, College of Policing, England and Wales June 2023 c 384 pp Hardback 978 1 78643 966 6 c £160.00 / c $230.00 Research Handbooks in Business and Management series Work and Employment Relations in Southern Europe The Impact of De-regulation, Organizational Change and Social Fragmentation on Worker Representation and Action Edited by Carlos J.

There are many themes that challenge us today, centred on decarbonisation, supply chain constraints and institutional reform, to make us rethink how we might better embed urban freight into the changing fabric of our cities. The contributions to city logistics as seen as a multi-governance structure together with the latest developments in methods through digital twins to focus as much on short-term operational issues in contrast to the longer-term planning and policy issues is impressive.’ – David Hensher, The University of Sydney Business School, Australia June 2023 c 518 pp Hardback 978 1 80037 016 6 c £215.00 / c $310.00 Research Handbooks in Transport Studies series
