This e-book is dedicated to one of the biggest challenges socially conscious businesses face; namely to take stock of the impact of their socialization practices. Given the orientation of the Society and Business Review to advance ideas that can directly enhance the contribution and commitment of businesses in society, we present in this two part e-book fresh insights on the impact of socialization practices of businesses across a range of industries and countries. Leading scholars across a range of disciplinary backgrounds come together to voice and illustrate theoretically and empirically the importance of socialization practices in the ways in whcih staff induction practices specifically are performed. The various papers in this two volume e-book collectively make a distinctive contribution in that they provide innovative ways of understanding how the ways in which induction practices are performed in different contexts.
