Co-operative and Mutual Enterprises Research: A Comprehensive Overview
(2024) Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies, Milton Park, Abington, Oxon, and New York. ISBN: 9781032053479.
This book provides an expert overview of contemporary research in this important field. Governments around the world have encouraged the development of Co-operative and mutual enterprises (CMEs), yet relatively little attention has been given to them within the mainstream business and economics research literature. In this book, the author summarises the origins, impacts, and structure of the research field. The book focuses on the CME business model and is structured around a conceptual framework for research into CMEs. It explores the historical evolution of the CME research field and presents a systematic review of the literature. This book critically analyses the state of knowledge in the field of CMEs which delivers a concise and valuable guide for scholars and students in the fields of business and management around the world.

Strategic Innovation in Small Firms: An International Analysis of Innovation and Strategic Decision Making in Small to Medium Sized Enterprises
(2011) Cheltenham, UK. Northampton, MA USA, Edward Elgar Publishing. ISBN: 9781845429058
Strategic Innovation in Small Firms investigates how small businesses commercialize innovations across various industries in nine OECD countries. Using data from 567 cases, the book analyses managers' views on national innovation systems and firm-level practices. The study finds that factors like size, R&D intensity, and project type differentiate firms more than country or industry. While formal processes are important for radical innovations, most small firms lack such structures. This work is valuable for researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners interested in innovation management in SMEs.

The Global Market for Higher Education: Sustainable Competitive Strategies for the New Millennium
(2001) Cheltenham UK, Northampton, MA, USA, Edward Elgar. ISBN: 978 1 84064 329 9
The authors of The Global Market for Higher Education discuss this industry from a strategic and services marketing perspective and suggest a model to explain how to obtain and maintain a competitive advantage. The book draws on more than ten years of research with students and educational institutions in a number of countries, using both secondary and primary data to develop the model. The results presented suggest that an institution’s internal resources are key determinants of its appropriate strategy. The authors also suggest that decision makers and education marketers take account of the appropriate market literature when developing international plans and considering new international markets.
