Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este pequeño libro ambicioso intenta articular una visión integral de Centroamérica. La historia material y espiritual, que habla de las cifras de la economía y sus ciclos, pero asimismo de los anhelos y los conceptos básicos, de los poemas y las construcciones imaginarias de los centroamericanos y que pretende explicar un proceso social particular, pero ambiciona también seguir los cambios políticos profundos y adaptaciones de los centroamericanos a los cambios del poder externo, sus revoluciones y las más típicas evoluciones, desde la antigüedad hasta las vicisitudes del imperialismo estadounidense, de que ha sido teatro el istmo durante el último siglo, pasando por los conflictos imperiales entre España e Inglaterra en la era colonial, y entre Inglaterra y EUA en el siglo XIX.

This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquella memorable iniciativa de Eugenio Espejo de publicar el 5 de enero de 1792, en las postrimerías del régimen colonial, Primicias de la cultura de Quito, el inicio del periodismo en el Ecuador, fue replicada treinta y seis años después en Cuenca, cuando fray Vicente Solano puso a circular El Eco del Asuay (sic), el primer periódico que salió a la luz en nuestra, aún balbuciente, vida republicana. Era el domingo 13 de enero de 1828, días en los que bullían las ambiciones y tambaleaba la Gran Colombia. Se trataba de un impreso en folio de cuatro páginas a dos columnas de edición clara y limpia y en cuya primera página ostentaba un epígrafe tomado de una frase de Rousseau que decía: Ce n´est pas assez de dire aux citoyens: soyez bons; il faut leur apprendre à l´être. (No basta decir a los ciudadanos: sed buenos; es necesario enseñarles a serlo). Era evidente que en la naciente república corrían nuevos aires: los ideales de la Ilustración habían permeado en la mentalidad de los nuevos líderes de la sociedad. El periódico de Solano fue conocido y apreciado por Bolívar y varios de sus artículos reproducidos en Bogotá, Cartagena y Lima. Extraído del prólogo

Download or read book Social Enterprise in Latin America written by Luiz Inácio Gaiger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the absence of a widely accepted and common definition of social enterprise (SE), a large research project, the "International Comparative Social Enterprise Models" (ICSEM) Project, was carried out over a five-year period; it involved more than 200 researchers from 55 countries and relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the SE phenomenon. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, thus resulting in an analysis encompassing a wide diversity of social enterprises, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major SE models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level. These SE models reveal or confirm an overall trend towards new ways of sharing the responsibility for the common good in today’s economies and societies. We tend to consider as good news the fact that social enterprises actually stem from all parts of the economy. Indeed, societies are facing many complex challenges at all levels, from the local to the global level. The diversity and internal variety of SE models are a sign of a broadly shared willingness to develop appropriate although sometimes embryonic—responses to these challenges, on the basis of innovative economic/business models driven by a social mission. In spite of their weaknesses, social enterprises may be seen as advocates for and vehicles of the general interest across the whole economy. Of course, the debate about privatisation, deregulation and globalised market competition—all factors that may hinder efforts in the search for the common good–has to be addressed as well. The second of a series of four ICSEM books, Social Enterprise in Latin America will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and other categories of people who want to acquire a broad understanding of the phenomena of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship as they emerge and develop across the world.

Download or read book From Consumer Experience to Affective Loyalty Challenges and Prospects in the Psychology of Consumer Behavior 3 0 written by María Pilar Martínez-Ruiz and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research topic for Frontiers in Psychology highlights some of the more relevant changes that have conditioned consumer behavior in recent years—among these, the paradigm shift in marketing is worth emphasizing. Today, the market and the companies are implementing Marketing 4.0; This new marketing approach modifies both the business rules and the channels by changing the way to dialogue, interact and relation with consumers. The present Research Topic brings together 30 studies by 76 authors who analyzed the relevance of consumer behavior changes under this new paradigm, using different theoretical and methodological frameworks. These different papers, mainly constituting original research, examine a variety of sub-topics, including online and mobile environments, value co-creation, internal marketing strategies, and diverse industries and product markets. Given this broad selection of papers, we encourage readers to draw their own conclusions about the complex phenomena of consumer behavior. Our hope is that these different perspectives will cover various gaps in the field and prompt discussion among the audience of Frontiers in Psychology.

Download or read book Hijacking Environmentalism written by Richard Welford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text demonstrates how businesses and institutions continue to operate outside the ecological carrying capacity of the environment, and highlights the need for participation and social innovation on their part. It asserts that senior executives and middle management in large corporations have often sought, deliberately or unconsciously, to block the advancement of environmentalism. Industry has reconstructed the more radical environmental agenda to suit its own purposes, in effect hijacking it, by taking it out of its traditional discourse and placing it in a liberal-productivist framework. The book concludes by examining the way forward for more sustainable business, presenting new models that place greater emphasis on issues such as equity and ethics.

Phil Knight, nacido en Portland, Oregón, en 1938, era más que un atleta talentoso. Era un visionario, un líder nato y un hombre impulsado por una pasión inquebrantable por el deporte. Orígenes humildes y grandes ambiciones Criado en una familia de clase media, Knight demostró un talento innato para correr desde una edad temprana. En la Universidad de Oregón destacó como corredor de media distancia, entrenado por el legendario Bill Bowerman . Bowerman , no sólo un entrenador sino un mentor, inculcó en Knight la creencia en el poder transformador del deporte y la importancia de la innovación. El nacimiento de una leyenda: azul Cinta Los deportes y el auge de Nike En 1964, impulsado por un sueño compartido con Bowerman , Knight trajo Blue Cinta Deportes . Con una inversión inicial de 50 dólares, el dúo importó zapatillas de Japón y las vendió en Estados Unidos, plantando las semillas de lo que se convertiría en Nike.

Experimentaron con materiales innovadores, diseños radicales y tecnologías de vanguardia, rompiendo barreras y redefiniendo lo que era posible en el mundo del calzado deportivo. Marketing deportivo revolucionario: creación de una cultura de aspiración Nike no se limitó sólo a vender zapatillas. Knight era un maestro del marketing que comprendía el poder de las historias y las emociones. Creó campañas publicitarias icónicas que presentaban a atletas legendarios como Michael Jordan y Tiger Woods, transformándolos en símbolos de inspiración y aspiración. Construyendo una marca global: victoria a través de la diversidad Bajo el liderazgo de Knight, Nike se expandió más allá del mercado estadounidense y conquistó el mundo con su mensaje de empoderamiento e innovación. La empresa ha abrazado la diversidad, patrocinando a atletas de diferentes orígenes y culturas y conectándose con una audiencia global de entusiastas del deporte.

This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award for Nonfiction Finalist National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction Finalist A New York Times Notable Book of the Year A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year A PBS “Now Read This” Book Club Selection Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Economist and the Boston Globe A landmark exposé and “deeply engaging legal history” of one of the most successful, yet least known, civil rights movements in American history (Washington Post). In a revelatory work praised as “excellent and timely” (New York Times Book Review, front page), Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight, once again makes sense of our fraught constitutional history in this incisive portrait of how American businesses seized political power, won “equal rights,” and transformed the Constitution to serve big business. Uncovering the deep roots of Citizens United, he repositions that controversial 2010 Supreme Court decision as the capstone of a centuries-old battle for corporate personhood. “Tackling a topic that ought to be at the heart of political debate” (Economist), Winkler surveys more than four hundred years of diverse cases—and the contributions of such legendary legal figures as Daniel Webster, Roger Taney, Lewis Powell, and even Thurgood Marshall—to reveal that “the history of corporate rights is replete with ironies” (Wall Street Journal). We the Corporations is an uncompromising work of history to be read for years to come.
