“…I (Crocco) published my first academic book in 2021 (Crocco, 2021). Despite being in my third year as an Assistant Professor, I had the confidence to do so, in part, because I had done a book review, which demystified the process of writing a book.…”

It is common within academia to hear that scholars and students should avoid writing book reviews. They are not peer-reviewed, can take a lot of time, and are often considered less prestigious than other forms of academic publishing. However, we make the case—as two scholars with experience as Book and Media Editors––that not only are book reviews a legitimate and important form of academic publishing, but the many benefits of writing book reviews outweigh the reasons for avoiding them. These benefits include having access to cutting-edge books, honing one’s skill in scholarly synthesis and communication, gaining experience with the academic publishing process, and providing service to one’s academic field. In this Writer’s Forum, we illuminate these and more reasons for doing book reviews and encourage readers of all stages of their academic careers to consider writing book reviews.

“…Relatedly, the GLOBE studies of over 17,000 managers from 62 countries have articulated nine cultural dimensions, including performance orientation, assertiveness, future orientation, human orientation, institutional collectivism, in-group collectivism, gender egalitarianism, power distance and uncertainty avoidance (GLOBE Project, 2023). It is worth noting, however, that “cultural characteristics are dynamic, evolving over time, and are informed by history, politics, language, and ethnicity” (Crocco, 2021, p. 48). This should caution scholars and workplace learning practitioners against assuming a static quality of culture or that national-level cultural value dimensions can be applied to all citizens of a particular country.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the scope and nature of information sharing as a form of workplace learning among gig workers. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from public social media communities of gig workers in Thailand. In total, 338 posts and 3,022 comments on the posts were analyzed (data corpus N = 3,360). Thailand was selected for the context of this study given its high level of social media penetration, a high percentage of digital service consumption of internet users and the prevalence of app-based gig workers. This study used thematic analysis using inductive and semantic coding to generate themes. Findings Findings showed two overarching themes of information sharing, which included on-the-job experience and inquiries. One surprising finding was the extent to which gig workers used social media to help others even when it potentially undermined their success. Research limitations/implications This study adds evidence to the role of information sharing in workplace learning and illustrates how gig workers who do not have access to traditional training and learning opportunities use social media communities to fill this need. Originality/value Given the surge of digitalization and internet infrastructure leading to the rise of gig work worldwide, this study provides a closer look at how gig workers are using social media communities to facilitate workplace learning and support one another amid otherwise difficult and insecure working conditions. It also discusses the role that culture plays in facilitating a cooperative rather than a competitive environment among drivers.

“…However, considering the broad definition of indigenous as “occurring natively or naturally in a particular region or environment” (Merriam-Webster, n.d.), there are examples of indigenous HRD happening from macro perspectives as well, i.e., national and regional levels. An illustrative case of such a perspective is the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), an intergovernmental organization with 10-member countries, which has articulated clear HRD policy, as well as mechanisms for HRD implementation in the region (Crocco, 2021; Tkachenko et al, 2022). This HRD policy and practice from a regional perspective emerged not from directly importing dominant practices and discourses from the West, but rather via an iterative process of borrowing, adapting, and reinventing HRD based on the unique cultural, political, and economic context of Southeast Asia (Bartlett et al, 2002; Lao, 2015; Ma Rhea, 2017; Pruetipibultham, 2010).…”
