China's rapid socio-economic development has achieved remarkable equalizing conditions between men and women in the aspects of health, education and labor force participation, but the glass ceiling phenomenon has become more prominent. The book develops a cross-disciplinary paradigm, with economics at its core, to better understand gender in China and women in management in the Chinese business context. The theoretical perspective integrates the knowledge and evidence from cognate disciplinary strands, such as economics, sociology, management studies, and the Chinese literature, into one unified framework. In-depth interviews with managers in China's largest enterprises complement the theoretical perspective with rich empirical details to examine women's managerial experiences and career choices. The book's argument sheds light on the power of stereotypes that specify women's roles in the family, organization, and society. It shows that understanding the socio-psychological and organizational dynamics of stereotyping in the Chinese context, as well as how Chinese women make career decisions, recognizing and deploying these expectations, provides new perspectives on the underrepresentation of women among business leaders in China. The book offers multi-disciplinary evidence on the economics of gender in China that is highly relevant for gender studies in general, and across a number of subject areas, and it can be used in any setting as an introductory reference

This book is open access under a CC BY license. Interest in social innovation continues to rise, from governments setting up social innovation 'labs' to large corporations developing social innovation strategies. Yet theory lags behind practice, and this hampers our ability to understand social innovation and make the most of its potential. This collection brings together work by leading social innovation researchers globally, exploring the practice and process of researching social innovation, its nature and effects. Combining theoretical chapters and empirical studies, it shows how social innovation is blurring traditional boundaries between the market, the state and civil society, thereby developing new forms of services, relationships and collaborations. It takes a critical perspective, analyzing potential downsides of social innovation that often remain unexplored or are glossed over, yet concludes with a powerful vision of the potential for social innovation to transform society. It aims to be a valuable resource for students and researchers, as well as policymakers and others supporting and leading social innovation

The research entitled "The Comparison of Factors Affecting the Success of State Higher Education Institutions in Thailand" aimed at 1) studying the confidence, leadership, and success factors of the state higher education institutions in Thailand; 2) finding the correlation coefficient between the confidence and leadership factors and the success of the state higher education institutions in Thailand; and 3) comparing the success factors of the state higher education institutions in Thailand in different categories of personal information, which were gender, age, status, education level, work experiences, and the university where the teachers worked. The sample group included 1,100 university teachers. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the general data of the respondents. The hypotheses were tested and analyzed using the t-test and one-way ANOVA analysis. The obtained data were then complexly compared using the Sheffé method and further calculated with the Pearson Correlation to find their correlation coefficient values. Such statistical analyses were completely performed on the SPSS program. The research findings were shown below: 1. The university teachers agreed with the confidence, leadership, and success factors of the state higher education institutions in Thailand at the high level. 2. Leadership and confidence also had a positive correlation with the success of the state higher education institutions in Thailand. 3. The comparative results of the success of the state higher education institutions when considering the personal information, including gender, age, education level, work experiences, academic positions, and monthly income, were not different, except in the category of the university where the teachers worked, the finding suggested a significant difference at the 0.05 probability level. ; การวิจัยเรื่อง "การเปรียบเทียบปัจจัยที่มีผลต่อความสำเร็จของสถาบันอุดมศึกษาของรัฐในประเทศไทย" มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษา 1) ปัจจัยความเชื่อมั่น ภาวะผู้นำและความสำเร็จของสถาบันอุดมศึกษาของรัฐในประเทศไทย 2) ความสัมพันธ์ของปัจจัยความเชื่อมั่น ภาวะผู้นำที่มี ต่อความสำเร็จของสถาบันอุดมศึกษาของรัฐในประเทศไทย และ 3) เปรียบเทียบปัจจัยความสำเร็จของสถาบันอุดมศึกษาของรัฐในประเทศไทย จำแนกตามปัจจัยส่วนบุคคล ได้แก่ เพศ อายุ สถานภาพ ระดับการศึกษา ประสบการณ์การทำงาน และมหาวิทยาลัยที่สังกัดของคณาจารย์ โดยมีกลุ่มตัวอย่างเป็นคณาจารย์ทั้งหมด จำนวน 1,100 ตัวอย่าง วิเคราะห์ข้อมูลทั่วไปของผู้ตอบแบบสอบถามด้วยสถิติบรรยายทดสอบสมมุติฐานโดยใช้ t-test และวิเคราะห์ความแปรปรวนทางเดียว (One-Way ANOVA) ทำการเปรียบเทียบเชิงซ้อน ด้วยวิธีSheffé และทดสอบความสัมพันธ์ด้วยค่าสัมประสิทธิ์สหสัมพันธ์เพียร์สัน(Pearson Correlation)โดยใช้โปรแกรมspss ผลการวิจัยสรุปได้ดังนี้ 1. คณาจารย์มีความคิดเห็นด้านภาวะผู้นำ ความเชื่อมั่น และความสำเร็จของสถาบันอุดมศึกษาของรัฐในประเทศไทยอยู่ในระดับมาก 2. ภาวะผู้นำและความเชื่อมั่นมีความสัมพันธ์เชิงบวกกับความสำเร็จของสถาบันอุดมศึกษาของรัฐในประเทศไทย 3. ผลการเปรียบเทียบความสำเร็จของสถาบันอุดมศึกษาของรัฐด้านเพศ อายุ ระดับการศึกษา ประสบการณ์การทำงาน ตำแหน่งทางวิชาการ รายได้ต่อเดือน พบว่า ไม่แตกต่างกัน ยกเว้นด้านมหาวิทยาลัยที่สังกัดของคณาจารย์ พบว่า มีความแตกต่างกันอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติที่ระดับ 0.05

"Forms of institutional governance critically shape the culture, creativity and academic outcomes of higher education. The book provides a new, updated and research based account of the changing face of the governance of British higher education. Historically, British universities were deemed amongst the most, if not the most, autonomous in Europe, with governance rooted in their collegial disciplinary structures. This assessment must now be decisively revised, although the belief systems deriving from it remain buried deep in university culture. Drawing on the authors' investigation of the governance of higher education in the four UK nations, including extensive on-site interviews, and discussions with government policy-makers, the book shows how global, national and system level pressures have changed the face both of the external governance of higher education institutions and how universities govern themselves. Government priorities, new funding methodologies and marketisation have all played a part in this process. Since the mid-1980s, there have been drastic changes in the external environment, reinforced by the increasing diversity within the higher education system as a whole and between the national sub-systems. In addition a new private sector of higher education has been created. New forms of institutional governance are emerging which may have profound effects on research and teaching and on academic creativity and innovation. The study discusses the effects of a state regulated system compared with the more heterarchical system which preceded it. It offers a comparison of the effects of devolved governance to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on the respective higher education systems and their impact on institutional governance. The study concludes that England is becoming increasingly an outlier, and discusses the long term implications for the coherence of a British higher education system"--Bloomsbury Education and Childhood Studies
