Healthcare has always involved travel, with people journeying to places traditionally known for healing or to seek out specialist medical expertise that may not be available more locally. More recently, medical tourism has grown at an unprecedented pace, often driven by commercial interests. When something goes wrong far from home, however, the consequences can be severe.

This groundbreaking book challenges the status quo of medical tourism, shifting the focus from competition and volume to what truly matters: value, safety and accountability. It explores the realities of cross-border care, from the motivations behind patient travel to the complex web of facilitators, insurers and providers that shape the journey. With a critical eye, it addresses the recurring challenges of incomplete information, unclear responsibilities, poor follow-up and avoidable harm and will educate, inform, guide and inspire stakeholders to integrate sustainable practices in medical tourism.

Key Features:

? Explains why patients travel to gain faster access, cultural comfort and services unavailable at home.

? Uncovers the hidden complexities including coordination gaps, ethical dilemmas and environmental costs of cross-border care.

? Explores the role of technology and how digital tools can enhance safety-or create new risks.

? Provides a roadmap for the future with practical tools and measurable indicators to ensure care is safe, sustainable and trustworthy.

Bounded Leadership Theory: Constraints and Orientations in a Global Perspective offers a fresh and realistic account of leadership in a world shaped by uncertainty, complexity, and multiple constraints. Moving beyond heroic, trait-based, and universal models of leadership, the book presents leadership as situated action: relational, contextual, morally charged, and bounded. It argues that leadership effectiveness depends not simply on individual competencies but on the fit between leadership orientations and the constraint architectures within which leaders operate.

The book develops the bounded leadership perspective by examining five leadership orientations: anticipatory, visionary, value-creating, mobilising, and self-reflective. These orientations explain how leaders assemble competencies into meaningful strategies of action when agency is limited and decisions involve trade-offs, risks, and legitimacy costs. The analysis also explores political, cultural, informational, ethical, emotional, motivational, and entitlement constraints that shape the real space for leadership action.

Drawing on theory, empirical research, and illustrative cases, the book will be valuable for scholars, doctoral students, and advanced students in leadership, management, organisational behaviour, and human resource management. It will also benefit practitioners, executive educators, and consultants seeking to understand leadership not as unlimited control but as responsible action within boundaries.

Culture is critical to individuals and organizations. This book offers an in-depth exploration of how Indian managers work, examining their inner struggles and the forces that influence their behavior in contemporary corporate environments.

This book critically examines the notion of female sexual agency in advertising, exposing how postfeminist discourses co-opt feminist language to sell products while reinforcing patriarchal norms. Combining feminist theory, poststructuralism, and interviews with feminist consumers, it dissects the illusion of agency and the panoptic systems of surveillance that discipline women into self-policing their bodies and desires, as well as policing each other.

Through original frameworks (the Agency Spiral and Postfeminist Panopticon), the book reveals how ads reduce women's agency to consumerist performances of sexuality that are perpetually negotiated and shaped by norms, perceptions of choice, the gaze, and spatiality. The author integrates key theoretical insights within relevant discussions to reveal how advertising both reflects and shapes cultural understandings of gender, power, and sexuality.

This unique, insightful book is a valuable read for scholars and students in gender studies, media/cultural studies, and marketing; feminist activists and educators; media professionals, and general readers frustrated by the gap between feminist ideals and commercial realities. A provocative and accessible critique, it arms readers with the tools to see and start dismantling "the prison of empowerment" that is postfeminist advertising.

This book is for organizational leaders who recognize the growing impact of stress and trauma on workforce performance and employee capacity. It provides a clear understanding of trauma, the extent of it in the workforce, and how to address it in the context of work without needing anyone to share stories or past trauma. It enables leaders to confidently approach this topic without worrying about making things worse or taking on the role of therapist. This book explains how to create workplaces where people can perform at their best rather than managing around what they are carrying. Leaders who apply the principles not only lead better but can also build more resilient, productive, and high-performing organizations.

Unresolved trauma can present as reduced voice, absenteeism, disengagement, conflict avoidance, overwork and over-accommodation, underperformance, and other observable workplace behaviors that most leaders currently misattribute to motivation or character. Grounded in the latest organizational research and evidence-based trauma-informed practice, this book is actionable, practical, and encouraging. It incorporates real-world examples, practical exercises, and case studies specific to leadership contexts. It guides leaders through a reflective and sometimes challenging process, helping them apply the framework's principles to support their teams without clinical training or therapeutic expertise. Mini-cases, tips, steps, and examples are part of each chapter. This book also addresses the connection between values-driven leadership, organizational culture, and the conditions that allow people to do their best work.

This book is written for business leaders and a management audience and is also highly relevant to those from executive coaching, leadership development, and the therapy and counseling fields.
