Natural Resource Management and Policy

This Open Access volume sheds light on the economic role and true value of non-human animals in the global economy. Animals have been a pillar of human prosperity since the dawn of civilization. From early hunting and domestication to their roles in agriculture, science, transportation, war, and entertainment, animals have shaped our world. Today, their contributions span from providing food and energy to supporting ecosystem services like pollination and pest control.&nbsp;Despite their importance, animals remain overlooked in economic studies. This book addresses this gap, exploring the economic roles of animals, analyzing demographic trends, reassessing their true economic value—including their intrinsic worth and the full measure of their contributions and suffering—and proposing innovative ways to reflect this in economic decision-making. This comprehensive volume connects economics and other fields, applying research on the valuation of Nature to non-human animals.The book explores economic policy and regulatory policy solutions to help recognize animal agency and ecological interdependence, presenting examples of how more humane, animal-free systems can reduce inefficiencies, spark innovation, and enhance both ecological and economic resilience. It will appeal to scholars, students, and researchers of economics and across other disciplines, as well as to policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the role of natural capital in economies, and specifically, the contributions of non-human animals to economic growth and stability.&nbsp;
 “
 This pioneering collection of essays
 &nbsp;raises an issue that economists have ignored for far too long: How are we to include non-human animals in economic evaluations of policies and practices? Fortunately, interest in this important question is now growing rapidly. The essays brought together in this volume sketch the outlines of a rich and extensive new field of thought.”&nbsp;

This Open Access volume sheds light on the economic role and true value of non-human animals' in the global economy. Animals have been a pillar of human prosperity since the dawn of civilization. From early hunting and domestication to their roles in agriculture, science, transportation, wars, and entertainment, animals have shaped our world. Today, their contributions span from providing food and energy to supporting ecosystem services like pollination and pest control.&nbsp;But animals are more than commodities—they are indispensable economic agents whose labor and agency have shaped the very foundations of our economic systems. This book honors their lives and contributions, and calls for a reassessment of their full worth: economically, ecologically, and ethically. Documenting how animals remain overlooked in economic studies, this book addresses this gap, by exploring their contributions in today’s economies, reassessing their true economic value, and proposing innovative ways to reflect this in economic decision-making. Covering all sectors of human-animal economic interaction, this comprehensive volume connects economics with other disciplines, applying frontier research on the valuation of nature to non-human animals.The book also explores economic policy and regulatory solutions to help recognize animal agency and ecological interdependence, presenting examples of how more humane, animal-free systems can reduce inefficiencies, spark innovation, and enhance both ecological and economic resilience. Essential for understanding our past and future, this book highlights the indispensable role of animals in a sustainable economy. It will appeal to scholars, students, and researchers of economics and across other disciplines, as well as to policy-makers interested in a better understanding of the role of natural capital in economies and, specifically, &nbsp;the value and contributions of non-human animals to economic growth and stability.&nbsp;

The Future of B2B Marketing

Introduction.- A modern steel industry.- The origins of the Australian steel industry.- Boom years: the 1960s.- Stagnation: the 1970s.

This book explores the history and evolution of Australia’s steel industry. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the creation of a large, technologically advanced steel sector was widely seen as essential for economic development, providing vital inputs for railways, shipping, engineering, and construction. While new materials such as plastics, aluminium, and concrete have since taken centre stage, steel once stood at the heart of industrial progress.In the Australian context, the steel industry became closely linked with Broken Hill Proprietary Limited (BHP), for decades the country’s largest private corporation and long identified as the “Big Australian.” BHP’s exit from steelmaking in 2002 marked not just a corporate turning point but also reflected the broader transformation of the Australian economy, where mining increasingly overshadowed manufacturing.Yet, the story of steel in Australia is not merely one of decline. This book examines how the industry endured through profound shifts in the national and global economy, overcoming challenges and adapting to survive, even prosper, through the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In doing so, it reveals how businesses, particularly in the manufacturing sector, can demonstrate resilience and strategic adaptation in an era of globalisation.By tracing the steel industry’s rise, struggles, and persistence, this book offers fresh insights into the dynamics of industrial change and the lessons it holds for Australia’s economic future.

Innovation gilt als zentraler Treiber wirtschaftlicher Entwicklung. Gleichzeitig zeigen zahlreiche empirische Befunde, dass Innovationsprozesse selten frei von historischen Prägungen verlaufen. Die Autorin untersucht das Spannungsfeld zwischen Innovationsfähigkeit und Pfadabhängigkeit und analysiert, wie vergangene Entscheidungen, Routinen und institutionelle Strukturen die Entwicklung von Geschäftsmodellen langfristig beeinflussen.
Die Arbeit verbindet dafür Ansätze der Forschung zu Komplexität, Interdependenz, Modularität und Geschäftsmodellen mit der Theorie der Pfadabhängigkeit. Neben dieser neuartigen Kombination von Theorien folgt sie auch methodisch einem aufkommenden Trend: Der Integration von historischer Forschung in Managementstudien. Auf Basis der empirischen Analyse wird aufgezeigt, unter welchen Bedingungen Pfadabhängigkeit Innovationen hemmen, stabilisieren oder gezielt genutzt werden kann. Der untersuchte Fall eines Top-Players der Systemgastronomie zeigt anhand von Uses of the Past, dass Geschichte nicht nur eine Folge von Ereignissen in der Vergangenheit ist, sondern eine Ressource, mit der die Zukunft von Unternehmen gestaltet werden kann.
Das Buch leistet einen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis der Dynamik von Innovationsprozessen und bietet zugleich praxisrelevante Implikationen für Unternehmen und politische Entscheidungsträger, die vor der Herausforderung stehen, etablierte Pfade zu überwinden oder bewusst weiterzuentwickeln.

Predictable Ops

As fears of agentic obsolescence abound, organizations are struggling to implement AI in ways that enhance rather than replace human work. This unique book introduces a full-stack approach that balances technological capability with human values, ethics and practical applications. AI at Work provides a framework that moves beyond scattered AI experiments toward a coherent strategy that will run throughout your entire company. Rather than focusing on technical capabilities or dystopian warnings, it utilizes a full-stack approach to harness AI's benefits while preserving what matters most - a firm's people, its values and its unique organizational identity. The global AI market is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2030, with organizations across sectors racing to implement AI solutions. However, whilst 83% of executives report that AI is a top priority for their organization, only 23% have a comprehensive implementation strategy. This book fills a critical gap between theoretical AI books and technical implementation guides by offering: · A practical framework applicable across industries; · Equal emphasis on technological capability, ethical considerations and real-world applications; · A human-centred approach that addresses concerns about AI replacing workers; and · Case studies and examples from diverse sectors.
