New Book Reviews

By IGI Global on Oct 8, 2015
New Book Reviews IGI Global's peer-reviewed publications are painstakingly compiled by the most acclaimed researchers in the field, ensuring cutting-edge scholarly content for the dissemination of knowledge worldwide. In support of the editors and authors behind the research, here are some excerpts of book reviews of outstanding titles for the month of October.

Handbook of Research on Holistic Perspectives in Gamification for Clinical Practice
Daniel Novák (Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic), Bengisu Tulu (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA) and Håvar Brendryen (Norwegian Center for Addiction Research, University of Oslo, Norway)

"This book would definitively find its place- and that would be a place handy, easy to access since it is going to be accessed quite regularly- on the shelves of the personal library of any researcher or health specialist interested in health games."
– Dr. Matthieu J. Guitton, Laval University, Canada


Cutting-Edge Technologies and Social Media Use in Higher Education
Vladlena Benson (Kingston University, UK) and Stephanie Morgan (Kingston University, UK)

"Some of the surprises of this collection are that there are so many institutions of higher education that are still hesitant to engage social media in constructive ways to enhance the higher education experience. While there have been years of research into some of the salutary uses of social media in education, the political buy-in at various institutions of higher education has to be arrived at locally through whatever processes are legitimated in that context. Indeed, there has to be confidence in the resilience and security of the selected platforms before any institution will trust its students and reputation to a particular social media platform. There are real costs in having individuals invest themselves in social media, and such social connections can be fleeting and fragile. The global community, though, is important for learners to engage."
– Shalin Hai-Jew, Kansas State University, USA, C2C Digital Magazine (Spring/Summer 2015)


Servant Leadership: Research and Practice
Raj Selladurai (Indiana University Northwest, USA) and Shawn Carraher (University of Texas at Dallas, USA)

"Promotes the idea that true leadership requires a dissolution of autocratic thinking in favor of leading by guiding and encouraging. This title is an innovative leader in the field."
– Professor Fred David and Professor Forest David, Strategic Management: Concepts and Cases – A Competitive Advantage Approach, Prentice Hall Publishing Company, New Jersey, USA


Online Guidance and Counseling: Toward Effectively Applying Technology
B.I. Popoola (Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria) and O.F. Adebowale (Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria)

"This is a well-documented book with a lot of cases and research studies that back up the points that the various authors of the chapters make in it."
– Paiso Jamakar, Biz India Online News


Systemic Approaches to Strategic Management: Examples from the Automotive Industry
Ioan Constantin Dima (Valahia University of Târgoviste, Romania)

"Today's business world is complicated and strategic management is an important issue. It creates the overall direction for the development of enterprise and also creates challenges for strategic managers, which are often complex, ambiguous and unstructured. The authors of the book analyze the application of systemic theory to strategic management. Potential readers will find this book an interesting resource of useful knowledge related to this very important area. [...] I highly recommend this book."
– Dr. Joanna Paliszkiewicz, Warsaw University of Life Sciences


Cross-Cultural Collaboration and Leadership in Modern Organizations
Nancy D. Erbe (California State University Dominguez Hills, California) and Anthony H. Normore (California State University Dominguez Hills, California)

"Highly recommended as a potential core text in programs and courses on communication, culture, conflict management, negotiation and persuasion. The text might act as a useful supplementary text for some elements in other business and social science fields and disciplines such as international business studies."
– Dr. Tom Cockburn, Center for Dynamic Leadership Models in Global Business, Canada
