Starting with an analysis of Iceland?s geographical location, historical development and societal culture, the authors critically examine the major elements of the Icelandic business environment from an individual to a global level, and from economic prosperity to financial collapse. They particularly focus on leadership and human resource management within this unique societal culture and discuss the specific issues that are unique to Iceland, i.e. entrepreneurship, gender egalitarianism, equality, low power-distance, reflecting on, and orienting within contemporary leadership theories. The book covers a variety of analytical methods and cases, providing a unique introduction to leadership in Iceland, and opening avenues for further research into this relatively new phenomenon. 410 0$aContributions to Management Science,$x1431-1941 606 $aLeadership 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aInternational business enterprises?Cross-cultural studies 606 $aCulture?Economic aspects 606 $aBusiness Strategy/Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515010 606 $aEntrepreneurship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000 606 $aCross-Cultural Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525040 606 $aGender and Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W51010 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises?Cross-cultural studies. 615 0$aCulture?Economic aspects. 615 14$aBusiness Strategy/Leadership. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 615 24$aCross-Cultural Management. 615 24$aGender and Economics. 676 $a658.4092 700 $aMinelgaite$b Inga$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062792 702 $aGuðmundsdóttir$b Svala$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aGuðmundsdóttir$b Árelía E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aStangej$b Olga$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298199203321 996 $aDemystifying Leadership in Iceland$92528589 997 $aUNINA
