Managing People in Commercial Kitchens: A Contemporary Approach uses original research to argue that senior managers (head chefs) should differentiate their people management practices in kitchen brigades from those used in the hospitality industry more generally (induction, socialisation, and performance evaluation) due to the group’s strong occupational identity and culture. 
The understanding of chefs’ work from a management perspective is critical for successful hospitality operations but has been historically under-researched. Chapters provide a detailed account of chefs’ work in commercial kitchens from an HRM perspective. Using occupational identity and culture as a vehicle, this book explores the different aspects of managerial work in commercial kitchen settings: general management, leadership, education and training, skills and competencies, managing deviant behaviour, managing stress, and managing diversity (focused on gender segregation). The final chapter looks at future perspectives on this unique working environment and the many challenges arising from the latest developments such as the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Providing both theoretical insights and practical applications with the use of case studies throughout, this will be of great interest to upper-level students and researchers in hospitality, as well as a useful reference for current managers in the field.

This book offers a collection of chapters on key consequences, challenges and strategies in the new economic environment that was shaped after the 2008 economic crisis in southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus) and Ireland in higher education (HE). The content covers issues such as the loss of human capital and competitiveness in HE institutes at the national level, the collapse of research and innovation, the brain gain on behalf of the receiving countries, and the need for new national and EU policies regarding the migration/loss of highly qualified staff. This book aims to be an international platform to bring together academics, researchers, lecturers, decision makers, policy makers, and practitioners to share new theories, research findings, and case studies; to enhance understanding and collaboration in issues related to the brain drain/brain gain phenomena within the EU from a higher education management perspective. The book also focuses on the mistakes and misjudgements regarding the real dimensions of the problem on the national and European (EU) levels. The motivation behind writing this book stems from the fact that there is a paucity of research in the field. Thus, this book provides a single reference for brain drain in HE for the Southern European countries and Ireland. Readers will find up-to-date and well researched information related to the effects of the brain drain phenomenon. The book covers the most important and common issues concerning this current and topical area of research as well as the current trends and future developments, such as the impact of Brexit in the European HE system.

This book provides a detailed account of the global hotel industry with a focus on managerial work and people management. A comprehensive understanding of the managers' work from a people management perspective is essential to the success of hotel operations; however, this is an area that has been under-researched. Based on existing literature and extensive research carried out by the authors over fifteen years, the book explores the different aspects of managerial work in global hotel industry settings and covers topics such as general management, leadership, education and training, skills and competencies, crisis management, and managing diversity. The book's findings suggest that hotel managers should adopt a people-centric management and leadership style while at the same time maintaining operational efficiency. A unique book in terms of scale and depth, it offers useful insights into both theoretical and practical perspectives.
