Practice and Theory

Urban Freight Transportation Management and Planning

An essential new vision for leaders of all stripes seeking to navigate their responsibility to the planet and their fellow global citizens. In Leadership Legacy, renowned futurist, activist, and speaker, Adah Parris, delivers an eye-opening exploration of how digital technology interacts with our elemental connections to the world. The author discusses themes of natural connection-ether, air, fire, water, earth-and how they contribute to a "digital symbiosis" that shapes our present and our future. Each chapter is an invitation to explore either an essay, letter, reflection on interviews or a personal journal-style self-reflective thought-piece sharing how the natural elements shape our digital presence and influence future innovations. Inside, you'll find advocacy for a mindful approach to navigating the complexity of power dynamics and paradoxes linked to technology and innovation that respects our individual and shared heritages and nurtures a regenerative future. Inside the book: <ul> <li>An introduction to "Cyborg Shamanism" a philosophy embracing the fusion of technology and nature</li> <li>Insightful discussions and perspectives of the contributions being made by people bringing traditional and Indigenous perspectives to creative, technological, innovative economic and environmental conversations</li> <li>An original approach to the human relationship with the planet-one that focuses on its interconnected, interdependent, and symbiotic nature</li> </ul> Leadership Legacy will spark a valuable new dialogue on legacy and technology's power to uplift marginalised voices and create authentic connections.

Navigating AI in Business

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

This book explores the crucial role of "remembering" the fundamental purpose of firms' existence especially in today's context: Meeting individuals' and societal needs. Through seven chapters, the book shed light on the issue of the integration of new technologies within value propositions, by examining their positive impacts on both individual and societal wellbeing. Beginning with an examination of evolving consumers expectations and the core mission of companies, it proceeds through a rigorous analysis of digital technologies impact on wellbeing. Chapters intricately explore themes such as the adoption of mobile health technologies, the role of AI in shaping positive emotions, and the transformative potential of gamification in cultural heritage experiences. Nonetheless, a qualitative examination of sustainable digital business models offering practical insights into fostering wellbeing through technological innovation is also presented. Ultimately, the book culminates in a holistic discussion on integrating digital technologies to enhance collective wellbeing, offering comprehensive insights and conclusive trajectories for future considerations. The book also offers some Case Studies and specialists' perspectives exploring real success stories deriving from firms, managers, scholars and practitioners committed to the mission of positively integrating managing new technologies.

Implications for Business, Consumers, and Societies

The Digital Paradigm Shift for a New Business DNA

From the man that the&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;calls “the most important person you’ve never heard of,” renowned Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta, comes a paradigm shifting treatise, asking a simple yet profound question—what if we put a value on nature, just as we put a value on everything else?&nbsp;For just about everything of value in life, there is an economic model. If it matters to us, we have found a way to put a dollar amount on it—to quantify its importance in our lives and society. These models and metrics tell us that our economies are healthy because they are growing. And yet for as long as they have existed, our economic models have served us an incomplete picture; they fail to account for the fact that our growth is driven by a resource that we take for&nbsp;free&nbsp;and treat as&nbsp;infinite: nature.&nbsp;Indeed, for centuries we have been using nature as if it were limitless, but more than ever, we are recognizing that our demands on the natural world are unsustainable. In&nbsp;On Natural Capital, award-winning Cambridge University economist Sir Partha Dasgupta lays out a seminal new approach to economics that asks, what if we were to put a value on nature just as we value everything else? Rooted in mankind’s struggle against climate change, Dasgupta’s approach examines the existential need to rethink our relationship to nature and see its preservation as an economic imperative. Challenging much of economic thought that has come before, Dasgupta presents an urgent call to transform the focus and structures of global economics with a profound new model—one so radical that only an economist of his stature could make the world take it seriously.&nbsp;On Natural Capital&nbsp;is a bold and groundbreaking book that could, truly, change everything.

The Value of the World Around Us

On Natural Capital

Der Autor zeigt ein Land im Niedergang, das die Zukunft seiner Kinder gefährdet. Im Bildungssektor fließen Gelder in die weiterführende Bildung und das Universitätssystem. Die steigende Diversität der Lebensverhältnisse von Kindern und die Zunahme ihrer Zahl werden im Vorschul- und Grundschulbereich jedoch nicht berücksichtigt. Wissenschaft und Politik sehen das Thema Armut als ein finanzielles Problem von Haushalten. Aber über die erforderlichen Investitionen in die Mangelbereiche, die die Lebenschancen von Kindern verbessern würden, wie Kinderinfrastruktur und Wohnungsbau, reden sie nicht. Im Gesundheitssektor werden die Kosten diskutiert, die die ältere Generation verursacht. Die Herausforderungen, die das Wohlbefinden von Kindern betreffen, sind dabei höchstens ein Thema für Kinderhilfsorganisationen.

Nachhaltigkeit und Generationengerechtigkeit: die vergessenen Kinder
