Embedded Sustainability The Next Big Competitive Advantage

Auteur: Chris Laszlo Nadya ZhexembayevaCo-auteur: Nadya ZhexembayevaUitgever: Stanford University Press, Engels , 1e druk , 9780804775540 , april 2011 , Hardcover , 288 pagina's, We are in the midst of a sea-change. In years past, corporate social responsibility may have been seen as a feather in a corporation's cap but, today, ecological and social pressures require a new type of business response. In Embedded Sustainability, authors Chris Laszlo and Nadya Zhexembayeva convincingly show how companies can better leverage global challenges for enduring profit and growth. In this outstanding book, readers will learn about the marquis concept of embedded sustainability : the incorporation of environmental, health, and social value into core business activities with no trade-off in price or quality. When Clorox introduced its new line of Green Works cleaners or Nissan developed its Leaf 100% electric car, these firms were pursuing a profit shift in mainstream markets. In addition to churning out smarter (instead of just greener) products for consumers at large, embedded sustainability is capable of hugely motivating employees. Most of all, it enables companies to create even higher returns for investors, while responding to the new market realities of declining resources, radical transparency, and rising customer expectations.This book helps readers to comprehend-and act on-the notion of embedded sustainability, explaining why it is now a requisite in every sector, how smart companies are creating even higher value for their customers and investors, and what new management competencies are needed to compete in today's marketplace.

International Management Ethics - Boek - Cambridge

What can we learn about management ethics from other cultures and societies? In this textbook, cross-cultural management theory is applied and made relevant to management ethics. To help the reader understand different approaches that global businesses can take to operate successfully and ethically, there are chapters focusing on specific countries and regions. As well as giving the wider geographical, political and cultural contexts, the book includes numerous examples in every chapter to help the reader critique universal assumptions of what is ethical. By taking a closer look at the way we view other cultures and their values, the author challenges us to rethink commonly held assumptions and approaches in cross-cultural management, and to apply a more critical approach. undefined, Taal, Engels, Afmetingen, 16x244x170mm, Gewicht, 500,00 gram, Verschijningsdatum, februari 2011, Druk, 1, ISBN10, 0521618657, ISBN13, 9780521618656

Micheal Dunford - The Geographical Transformation of China

Engels , 1e druk , 9780415634311 , november 2014 , Hardcover , 372 pagina's, Samenvatting, The aim of this book is to examine the transformation of the geography of China in the years since the start of China's policy of reform and opening-up in 1978, as seen through the eyes of Chinese geographers. Throughout that period, Chinese geographers have studied these environmental, economic, political and cultural processes closely, drawing on sources that are far from easy to access, and have published their results in Chinese. Much of this research has underpinned the Chinese government's assessment of policies and the policy choices at different levels, yet it is not well known outside of China. This volume deals with aspects of the socio-economic geography of China's transformation including its changing relations with the rest of the world, although it also deals with the impact of China's development path on the country's ecological systems. Each chapter deals with aggregate trends and specific cases to show the ways in which the particular characteristics of China's economic and social order (economic organization, political system and cultural model and values) have shaped and are shaped by its geography.Inhoud, Taal, Engels, Bindwijze, Hardcover, Druk, 1, Verschijningsdatum, 2013-03-30, Afmetingen, 23,4 x 15,6 x 3,8 cm, Aantal pagina's, 372 pagina's, Illustraties, Met illustraties, Betrokkenen, Auteur, Michael Dunford, Redacteur, Michael Dunford, Uitgever, Taylor & Francis Ltd, EAN, Overige kenmerken, Extra groot lettertype, Nee, NUR code, 780, Oorspronkelijke releasedatum, 2014-11-04, Thema Subject Code, KJ

Auteur: David HitchcockUitgever: Nolo, Engels , 1e druk , 9781413318722 , april 2013 , Paperback , 257 pagina's, Samenvatting, In the past, if you wanted to assess the novelty of an idea, you had to wade through the patent database at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) in Virginia -- or hire a lawyer to do a patent search for $500 and up.

Patent Searching Made Easy shows you how do patent searches yourself, on the Internet, at little or no cost. Plus, you'll learn how to: verify the patent status of an idea, prepare for online searches with the right hardware, software and computer skills, access online patent searching resources, narrow online searches with keywords and Boolean logic, perform database searches at Patent and Trademark Resource Centers (PTRC), do prior art searches at PTRC, search fee-based patent databases on the Internet, search international patent offices, do advanced searches at the PTO and PTRC, Written for both inventors and business owners interested in expanding their product line through the license, distribution or manufacture of other people's ideas, Patent Searching Made Easy is the easiest way for you to determine the answer to that all-important question, ""Am I the first?"", A physicist, engineer, and patent searching expert, author David Hitchcock gives you the vocabulary, instructions and strategies you need to search for a patent quickly and easily. He explains how the PTO classifies different types of inventions, so that you can assign your idea to the right class, compare it to related ideas and then determine if it's novel enough to qualify for a patent.

Return on Character

Does the character of our leaders matter?You may think this question was answered long ago. Countless business authors and analysts have assured us that great leadership demands great character. Time and again, we've seen that truth play out, as once-thriving organizations falter and fail under the guidance of leaders behaving badly. Why, then, do so many executives remain skeptical about the true value of leadership character? A winning strategy and a sound business model are what really matter, they argue, character is just the icing on the cake.What's been missing from this debate is hard evidence: data that shows not only that leadership character matters for organizational success, but how it matters, and concrete evidence that it leads to better business results. Now, in this groundbreaking book, respected leadership researcher, adviser, and author Fred Kiel offers that evidence? solid data that demonstrates the connection between character, leadership excellence, and organizational results.After seven years of rigorous research based on a landmark study of more than 100 CEOs and over 8,000 of their employees' observations, Kiel's findings show that leaders of strong character achieved up to five times the ROA for their organizations as did leaders of weak character.Return on Character goes on to reveal:? How leadership character is formed, how it creates value, and how that value spreads throughout the organization? How low-character leaders undermine the success of even the best business plans? How leaders at any level can develop the habits of strong character and ? unlearn the habits of poor characterThe book also provides a character-building methodology? step-by-step advice and techniques for assessing your own character habits and improving your performance and that of your organization.Return on Character provides the blueprint for building your own leadership character and creating a character-driven organization that achieves superior business results. undefined, Taal, Engels, Afmetingen, 25x235x156mm, Gewicht, 525,00 gram, Verschijningsdatum, april 2015, Druk, 1, ISBN10, 1625271301, ISBN13, 9781625271303

Venture Capital and Private Equity Contracting (Boek)

Engels Hardcover 9780124095373 01 september 2013 780 pagina's Samenvatting Other books present corporate finance approaches to the venture capital and private equity industry, but many key decisions require an understanding of the ways that law and economics work together. This revised and updated 2e offers broad perspectives and principles not found in other course books, enabling readers to deduce the economic implications of specific contract terms. This approach avoids the common pitfalls of implying that contractual terms apply equally to firms in any industry anywhere in the world. In the 2e, datasets from over 40 countries are used to analyze and consider limited partnership contracts, compensation agreements, and differences in the structure of limited partnership venture capital funds, corporate venture capital funds, and government venture capital funds. There is also an in-depth study of contracts between different types of venture capital funds and entrepreneurial firms, including security design, and detailed cash flow, control and veto rights. The implications of such contracts for value-added effort and for performance are examined with reference to data from an international perspective. With seven new or completely revised chapters covering a range of topics from Fund Size and Diseconomies of Scale to Fundraising and Regulation, this new edition will be essential for financial and legal students and researchers considering international venture capital and private equity.
