Download or read book Rethinking Business Anthropology written by Alf H. Walle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qualitative methods of business research are emerging as vital tools. Business anthropology is at the heart of this movement. Although many recent books provide nuts-and-bolts advice regarding the field, Rethinking Business Anthropology: Cultural Strategies in Marketing and Management discusses the intellectual traditions from which the discipline has emerged and how this heritage opens up new vistas for business research. Gaining these broader perspectives is essential as business anthropologists transcend being mere research technicians and seek to influence organizational policies and strategies. Opening chapters deal with the current status of the field and its relationship to ecological and cultural sustainability. This is followed by discussions of the intellectual foundations of anthropology and their continued importance to business anthropology. An array of chapters provides illustrative applications of business anthropology in order to demonstrate the field's unique and powerful potentials within both scholarly and practitioner research. The book concludes with a discussion of the role of business anthropologists in dealing with indigenous people, rural populations, and cultural enclaves. Increasingly, businesses seek to connect with such communities even though mainstream leaders and negotiators often lack the skills necessary to effectively do so. Business anthropologists, with their dual background in business and cultural diversity are poised to excel in this capacity. An appendix by Robert Tian, editor of the International Journal of Business Anthropology, provides a useful overview of the field as it now exists. As business anthropology comes of age, this timely monograph provides the perspectives needed for the growth and further development of the field and those who work within it. Excellent for the professional bookshelf and as a textbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readings in Biological Anthropology provides students with carefully selected articles that align with four key topics that most introductory biological anthropology courses cover: evolutionary theory and genetics, non-human primates, human evolution, and human variation. Each of the readings focuses on one of these areas, but also reflects a unique perspective or approach to the topic. Each reading is framed by a short introduction to provide context and post-reading questions that reinforce main concepts and inspire critical thinking. Students explore such topics as Darwin and the science of evolution; human morality and the question of altruism among non-human primates; history as cultural evolution; infectious diseases as ecological and historical phenomena; and much more. Designed to introduce students to the discipline, Readings in Biological Anthropology is an ideal textbook for non-majors and those new to the study of biological anthropology.
