Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta publicación se explora la mirada de nuevas economías, que velan por el bien común y están direccionadas a la sostenibilidad. El desarrollo sostenible es, seguramente, la única manera posible en el que la sociedad puede avanzar y tener una reactivación económica exitosa. Un desarrollo en el que no solo se mejore la situación económica de los individuos en general, sino que también aporte al cuidado del medio ambiente y contribuya a la construcción y el mejoramiento de las comunidades. Desde hace décadas, el crecimiento económico se ha realizado a expensas de la explotación de los recursos naturales e, incluso, de las personas que habitan en los territorios de los que se extraen dichos recursos. El desarrollo sostenible tiene objetivos claros y, en esta obra, tendrás la oportunidad de reflexionar lo necesario para aplicarlos en tu vida y en tu empresa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se abre paso un nuevo modelo productivo, basado en la tecnología y la Industria 4.0 y en el que la innovación se pone al servicio de la sostenibilidad. Mantener la competitividad de las empresas exige la innovación continua de sus productos y servicios, que han de integrar las tecnologías y metodologías necesarias para incorporar inteligencia y durabilidad. Diseñar de un modo inteligente (smart design) e innovar en la fabricación de productos y los servicios asociados son la clave para lograrlo y garantizar el progreso social. Este libro explica por qué la innovación debe basarse en la creatividad, alma de la innovación, qué estrategias mentales contribuyen a inducir la inspiración (si esta no llega sola), por qué (y cómo) se debe medir la innovación y la creatividad, y por qué un producto no es inteligente si ignora la sostenibilidad del planeta. Desde hace más de una década, los autores impulsan el diseño de productos y servicios inteligentes y sostenibles en la prestigiosa escuela universitaria de diseño ESDI, de la Universidad Ramon Llull. A través de numerosos ejemplos y técnicas, la obra detalla cómo trabajar para mejorar la vida de las personas a escala global y contribuir a que la sociedad digital sea un lugar más ético y sostenible. Está dirigida tanto a profesionales de la gestión, como a docentes y a quienes quieran dedicar su actividad en el ámbito de la innovación y la creatividad.
Download or read book Sustainable Smart Cities written by Marta Peris-Ortiz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides the most current research on smart cities. Specifically, it focuses on the economic development and sustainability of smart cities and examines how to transform older industrial cities into sustainable smart cities. It aims to identify the role of the following elements in the creation and management of smart cities:• Citizen participation and empowerment • Value creation mechanisms • Public administration• Quality of life and sustainability• Democracy• ICT• Private initiatives and entrepreneurship Regardless of their size, all cities are ultimately agglomerations of people and institutions. Agglomeration economies make it possible to attain minimum efficiencies of scale in the organization and delivery of services. However, the economic benefits do not constitute the main advantage of a city. A city’s status rests on three dimensions: (1) political impetus, which is the result of citizens’ participation and the public administration’s agenda; (2) applications derived from technological advances (especially in ICT); and (3) cooperation between public and private initiatives in business development and entrepreneurship. These three dimensions determine which resources are necessary to create smart cities. But a smart city, ideal in the way it channels and resolves technological, social and economic-growth issues, requires many additional elements to function at a high-performance level, such as culture (an environment that empowers and engages citizens) and physical infrastructure designed to foster competition and collaboration, encourage new ideas and actions, and set the stage for new business creation. Featuring contributions with models, tools and cases from around the world, this book will be a valuable resource for researchers, students, academics, professionals and policymakers interested in smart cities.

Download or read book Knowledge Economies written by Philip Cooke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-10 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the theoretical explanation for clusters back to the work of classical economists and their more modern disciples, who saw economic development as a process involving serious imbalances in the exploitation of resources. Initially, natural resource endowments explained the formation of nineteenth and early twentieth-century industrial districts. Today, geographical concentrations of scientific and creative knowledge are the key resource. But these require a support system, ranging from major injections of basic research funding, to varieties of financial investment and management, tothe provision of specialist incubators, for economic value to be realised. These are also specialised forms of knowledge that contribute to a serious imbalance in the distribution of economic opportunity.

Download or read book Intelligent Cities written by Nicos Komninos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the century some cities and regions in Europe, Japan and the USA, displayed an exceptional capacity to incubate and develop new knowledge and innovations. The favourable environment for research, technology and innovation created in these areas was not immediately obvious, yet it was of great significance for a development based on knowledge, learning, and innovation. Intelligent Cities focuses on these environments of innovation, and the major models (technopoles, innovating regions, intelligent cities) for creating an environment-supporting technology, innovation, learning, and knowledge-based development. The introduction and the first chapter deal with innovation as an environmental condition, and with the geography and typology of islands of innovation. The next three parts focus on the theoretical paradigms and the planning models of the 'industrial district', the innovating region', and the 'intelligent city', which offer three alternative ways to create an environment of innovation.

Esta hazaña inicial fue sólo un vistazo de lo que estaba por venir. En busca de mejores oportunidades, Musk se mudó a Canadá a los 17 años para asistir a la Queen 's University . Dos años más tarde, se trasladó a la Universidad de Pensilvania, donde obtuvo títulos en Economía y Física. Después de graduarse, Musk se mudó a Silicon Valley y cofundó Zip2, una empresa de software que proporcionaba guías de ciudades para periódicos. En 1999, Compaq compró Zip2 por casi 300 millones de dólares, lo que le proporcionó a Musk su primer gran éxito financiero. Poco después, fundó X.com, una empresa de servicios financieros en línea que luego se transformaría en PayPal tras una fusión. En 2002, PayPal se vendió a eBay por 1.500 millones de dólares en acciones. Descubra mucho más...

Download or read book Moda unisex y la deconstrucci n del g nero un manifiesto por la libertad de expresi n written by MAX EDITORIAL and published by Max Editorial. This book was released on 2024-05-29 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La moda, como expresión cultural, siempre ha estado ligada a la construcción de identidades, incluida la de género. A lo largo de la historia, la ropa y los complementos se han utilizado para diferenciar a hombres y mujeres, reforzando estereotipos y limitando la libertad de expresión individual. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas ha surgido un movimiento que desafía esta lógica binaria: la moda unisex. El auge de la moda unisex Las raíces de la moda unisex se pueden encontrar en los movimientos sociales y culturales del siglo XX, como el feminismo y la contracultura. La búsqueda de la igualdad de derechos entre hombres y mujeres, combinada con el desafío de las normas sociales tradicionales, impulsó la experimentación con prendas que trascendían el género. Deconstruyendo el binario de género La moda unisex va más allá de la simple estética. Representa una crítica a la rigidez de las normas de género y a la idea de que la ropa está definida por un sexo específico. Al desafiar esta dicotomía, la moda unisex abre un espacio para la libre expresión de la identidad individual, independientemente de las etiquetas predefinidas. Demostraciones de moda unisex La moda unisex se manifiesta de diversas formas, desde piezas clásicas reinterpretadas en estilos neutros hasta diseños innovadores que trascienden las categorías de género. Cualquier persona puede usar faldas, pantalones, camisas, vestidos, chaquetas y complementos, independientemente de su identidad de género. Impacto social y cultural La moda unisex contribuye a construir una sociedad más tolerante y diversa. Al desafiar los estereotipos y promover la inclusión, desafía el status quo y abre un espacio para la expresión individual auténtica. La moda unisex también impacta en la industria textil, fomentando la creación de colecciones más fluidas y democráticas. Pioneros e influyentes Varios artistas, celebridades y marcas de moda se han destacado como agentes de transformación en la deconstrucción del género a través de la moda. Figuras como David Bowie, Boy George, Tilda Swinton , Jaden Smith, Zendaya y marcas como Thom Browne, Hood por Air , EckhausLatta y Marni son ejemplos de ser pioneros e influir en este movimiento. El futuro de la moda unisex La moda unisex es un movimiento en constante evolución, con el potencial de revolucionar la forma en que vestimos y expresamos nuestra identidad. El futuro de la moda se perfila como un espacio cada vez más inclusivo, donde la fluidez de género y la libertad de expresión individual serán los pilares de una estética innovadora y auténtica. La moda unisex es más que una tendencia pasajera. Representa un movimiento social que desafía las normas tradicionales y promueve la construcción de una sociedad más justa e igualitaria. Al deconstruir el binario de género y abrir espacio para la libre expresión de la identidad individual, la moda unisex se convierte en un manifiesto de la libertad de ser quien eres.

Download or read book Humanistic Management in Practice written by Ernst von Kimakowitz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how principles of a Humanistic Management paradigm are practiced in a variety of industries and regions by businesses of different ownership structures and sizes. What unites these businesses is their commitment to the three stepped approach of Humanistic Management, which is grounded in unconditional respect for the dignity of life, the integration of ethics in management decisions, and active engagement with stakeholders. These businesses are not labeled social enterprises, but operate within the mainstream of competitive markets. However, they do have a deep sense of responsibility towards the communities in which they operate and act accordingly, knowing that sustaining business success over time depends on a value proposition to society at large. The cases featured in this book serve to clarify that businesses can thrive not despite but because they are upholding principles of Humanistic Management. It will be valuable reading for academics working in the field of business ethics, sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
