Fresh theorizing and sound research reveal how gig work, digitalization, shifting gender roles, and postpandemic sensibilities are transforming how we work and live across career stages and the life span. The result is a must-read for work–life researchers, policy makers, and practitioners, a valuable resource for organizational and community scholars, and an inspiration and example for those who do (or aspire to do) relevant research.’ – Philip Mirvis, Babson College, US 2024 260 pp Hardback 978 1 80392 233 1 £105.00 / $145.00 New Horizons in Management series eBook • Elgaronline The Supply Chain: A System in Crisis Edited by Stefan Gold, University of Kassel, Germany and Andreas Wieland, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark ‘A timely book written and edited by highly knowledgeable academics.

Gollnhofer, University of St. Gallen, Reto Hofstetter, University of Lucerne and Torsten Tomczak, University of St. Gallen, Switzerland ‘This new Elgar Encyclopedia of Consumer Behavior should be a great resource both for junior scholars hoping to get an overview of the field, and senior scholars looking for a quick snapshot of topics they want to learn more about. I particularly like the fact that it includes a lot of entries on very contemporary conversations that wouldn’t have been on the radar of consumer researchers as recently as a decade ago. It’s a very valuable contribution to the field.’ – Eileen Fischer, York University, Canada June 2024 c 330 pp Hardback 978 1 80392 626 1 c £180.00 / c $255.00 Elgar Encyclopedias in Business and Management series eBook • Elgaronline The Chinese Strategic Mind Second Edition2nd edition Hong Liu, University of Manchester, UK ‘Hong Liu’s book should start a real search to discover what is valuable about the Chinese mind.

The book delightfully captures how these innovations had to be learned by store owners, sold to customers, and created new and unforeseen opportunities. We now take these innovations for granted but as the authors suggest, they continue in the digital age to evolve in startling ways.’ – Neil D.
