Applied participation and empowerment at work: Methods, tools and case studies

• As globalisation of economy is developing, the value of “human capital” was discovered as one of the solid basics for sustainable entrepreneurship in a knowledge-based society. Accordingly, the relevance of Participation and Empowerment (P&E) among management approaches has increased significantly. In this anthology, 26 authors from six European countries, networking in the “International Society for Participation and Empowerment (InSPE)”, are presenting for the first time their experiences with P&E collected over years as entrepreneurs, consultants or researchers. InSPE is an international association founded 1994 with its registered office in Gothenburg (Sweden). The members come from all over Europe (Sweden, Germany, Italy, Austria, France, Finland, Denmark etc.); they are mainly consultants, researchers or company executives. The purpose of InSPE is „to push (P&E) in companies, public institutions and other organisations. P&E must become an essential part of design, planning and management of processes and structures in business and social systems.” – The volume at hand is published on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of InSPE.
