Delusional

Striving for greater consumer product circularity The United States generated approximately 292.4 million tons of municipal solid waste in 2018-an estimated 4.9 pounds of waste per person, per day. We manage MSW in several ways including recycling and composting, landfilling, and combustion, with expenses typically borne by municipalities. Increasingly, there's recognition and action toward a more circular, rather than linear, progression of products and materials. Instead of "trashing" resources, they should be recirculated, thus extending product lifecycles. Many product manufacturers are embracing product circularity, sharing responsibility for their products and packaging through Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). From the editor of Handbook of Household Hazardous Waste comes this collection of cases on product stewardship and EPR for paint, mattresses, and other products. Producer Responsibility in Practice shares examples of resource recovery programs and ways to effectively engage stakeholders, for example, in supporting legislation and employing community-based social marketing to motivate consumer behavior. Chapters are written by practitioners who share their perspectives to inform producers; officials and legislators; solid waste management and environmental professionals and students, as well as others interested in building EPR and fostering a more circular economy.

Routledge Studies in Business Organizations and Networks

Governance, Bureaucracy, and Organization reframes bureaucracy as the living administrative architecture that determines whether organizations convert effort into outcomes, and argues that it must be actively governed rather than eliminated or simply endured. Drawing on organizational theory, complexity science, and detailed cases-including Kodak, the Stuttgart 21 rail project, and California's wildfire systems-the book introduces a practical diagnostic vocabulary: the Accelerator-Modulator-Restrictor spectrum, the Dual-Cone model of opportunity and maneuverability, the Stewardship Triad, and the five practices of Active Bureaucratic Management. It shows how capable organizations drift into failure while remaining busy, how to trace that drift forensically, and how artificial intelligence amplifies whatever governing conditions already exist. Rather than offering another reform program, it advances stewardship as a standing governance doctrine. The book is written for senior leaders, executives, and managers responsible for organizational performance; for scholars and students of management, organization studies, and public administration; and for consultants and analysts working on institutional change. Readers gain a rigorous, jargon-free framework for seeing, diagnosing, and governing bureaucracy-turning an unmanaged liability into a source of durable capability and credibility.

National Bureau of Economic Research Conference Report

A thought-provoking examination of how AI might either spur or harm human economic progress. What happens to an economy when machines can think as well as, or even better than, humans? The Economics of Transformative AI tackles this issue, which is one of the most consequential economic questions of our time. This book brings together sixteen research studies from top economists that look closely at how transformative AI reshapes everything from innovation and market structure to employment, inequality, and human purpose. They explore both opportunities, such as personalized algorithmic assistance, accelerated scientific discovery, and new forms of organization, and profound challenges, including potential labor displacement, rising concentration of power, changes in the information ecosystem, and even possible existential risks to humanity. The studies in this volume develop economic frameworks for understanding the conditions under which AI might enhance or undermine human flourishing. They offer policymakers, researchers, and business leaders the analytical tools needed to prepare for the potential economic transformations ahead.

Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing

In this thoroughly updated fourth edition, a trusted editor offers a comprehensive guide to selecting--and working with--a book publisher. For more than two decades, writers have turned to William Germano's Getting It Published as a guide to the world of serious book publishing, including university presses. A professor, author, and thirty-year veteran of the book industry, Germano knows what editors want and what writers need to do to get their work published. This fourth, thoroughly updated edition of Getting It Published accounts for new challenges facing authors and changed conditions in the publishing industry. From open access to peer review, from approaching a press to considering an agent, publishing can be confusing for authors trying to understand their options. This new edition continues to offer the clear, practicable guidance on choosing the best path to publication that has made the book such a trusted resource. Its latest revisions include an expanded chapter on proposals (and their covering emails) as well as current information on the shifting landscape of ebook publishing. But this book is more than a nuts-and-bolts guide. It takes up a writer's biggest challenges: how to frame a book-length project, shape its argument, conceive its audience, and pitch it convincingly to an editor. Getting It Published reflects the latest changes and technologies in the publishing industry but keeps its eye on what remains constant: Whether working on their first book or their fifth, writers can make their work stronger by knowing what publishers do and why they do it.

Stewardship With Miss Mikayla

To paraphrase Picasso: the good borrow, but the truly great artists steal. The great masters of art earned their reputation for supposedly taking art in entirely new directions – for pioneering new techniques, breaking with tradition and busting norms – but behind almost every famous artwork you can find influence and inspiration artfully ‘stolen’ from elsewhere.Great Artists Steal takes 40 groundbreaking artworks throughout history and shows how in truth they have their roots firmly in the past or in other works. Andy Warhol was famously obsessed with repurposing and repeating famous images from across history, while visual motifs that originated thousands of years ago are still repeated in contemporary art today. Where does ‘stealing’ begin and copying end, and how do ideas, influence and creativity travel across different generations of artists and artworks?From the accidental to the purposeful, the innocent to the malicious, Great Artists Steal looks at all the ways famous artists have begged and borrowed their way to greatness. Whether you’re an art student, enthusiast or novice, this book will provide you with a new perspective on the history of art, and tell some fascinating stories along the way.

Den of Liars

A challenge to incentivization as a dominant framework for understanding and governing people From corporate management and consumer behavior to public health and climate policy, incentives are widely treated as a neutral and effective way to shape how people act. In this book, Guus Dix shows that incentives are not simple policy nudges; they lull us into a passive understanding of ourselves as being merely responsive to changes others make to our environment. They foster a politics of incremental tweaks to a socially and ecologically destructive economic system that we are expected to accept without question. Dix argues that it is time to challenge the reign of incentives in contemporary science and public life. Dix traces the evolution of the incentive, from the engineering of performance charts and rewards for factory workers to combating gridlock at Britain’s National Health Service. He describes the function of incentives under socialism, theories of adjustment incentives developed at the Harvard Business School to manage employees, and incentivizing whole economies—both socialist and capitalist. He shows that incentivization is a distinct way of wielding power. Incentives have become part of a quasi-universal governing philosophy that keeps us from addressing such major issues as poverty and the climate crisis. Finally, Dix analyzes the limits of incentivization, arguing that being governed by incentives keeps us from considering government policies that have the potential to bring about meaningful and transformative change.
