Elgar Concise Introductions

Our Elgar Concise Introductions are inspiring and considered introductions to the key principles in business and the social sciences more broadly, expertly written by some of the world’s leading scholars. The aims of the series are two-fold: to pinpoint the essential concepts of business and management, and to offer insights that stimulate critical thinking. By distilling the subject into a concise and meaningful form, the books serve as accessible introductions for graduate and undergraduate students coming to the subject for the first time. Importantly, they also develop well-informed, nuanced critiques of the field that will challenge and extend the understanding of advanced students, scholars and thinking practitioners.
