Download or read book The Risk of Discrimination in the Digital Market written by Sara Tommasi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book starts with an analysis of what is new in the Digital Services Act. The aim is to see whether this new Regulation is appropriate both for not halting technological innovation and for addressing the risks that technological innovation poses to society and to the people who use digital services. The focal point is the risk of discrimination as people are often helpless in the face of the potential discriminations in the digital services sector. In particular, the book analyses how the Digital Services Act can make a concrete contribution to the protection against discrimination. To this end, it focuses on the responsibility of digital service providers and the fact that discrimination may also depend on the way in which algorithms and artificial intelligence systems are used. Therefore, a comparison is made between the Digital Services Act and the proposed Artificial Intelligence Act. The comparison discloses that the risk-based approach is the common thread followed by the EU in regulating the digital market. The book elaborates also on the practical implications of the risk-based approach. Highlighting advantages and limitations leading the author to conclude that the risk-based approach is the way forward only if the differences between risk and danger, the limits of law, and the limits of the tendency to humanise artificial intelligence systems are considered. With specific reference to the risk of discrimination, the need for a systemic and multi-level approach is highlighted, which reinforces the contribution that can be made not only by the Digital Services Act, but also by more general and cross-cutting legislation as those on data protection and unfair commercial practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In un'epoca di grandi trasformazioni e di forte aumento della competizione a livello globale è possibile parlare ancora di responsabilità dell'impresa, al di là della ricerca del profitto? In un contesto sempre più difficile e infido, dove il problema per le imprese è quello di sopravvivere, l'agire economico può tener conto delle sue conseguenze, anche al di là del calcolo costi-benefici? A domande come queste si è provato a dare risposta tracciando un percorso dall'analisi delle opzioni interpretative del concetto di responsabilità sociale dell'impresa fino ai possibili sbocchi operativi dal punto di vista delle azioni imprenditoriali. Chiude la ricerca un breve profilo della concezione olivettiana della fabbrica che costituisce un'esperienza unica nel panorama del capitalismo nazionale e internazionale e un'anticipazione di quello che è oggi il tema dell'etica nell'economia e nel mercato del lavoro.

Download or read book World Development Report 2019 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new social contract is needed to smooth the transition and guard against rising inequality. Significant investments in human capital throughout a person’s lifecycle are vital to this effort. If workers are to stay competitive against machines they need to train or retool existing skills. A social protection system that includes a minimum basic level of protection for workers and citizens can complement new forms of employment. Improved private sector policies to encourage startup activity and competition can help countries compete in the digital age. Governments also need to ensure that firms pay their fair share of taxes, in part to fund this new social contract. The 2019 World Development Report presents an analysis of these issues based upon the available evidence.

Download or read book People and Profits written by Joshua Daniel Margolis and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between the social performance of companies and their financial performance? More colloquially, can a firm effectively attend to both people and profits as it conducts its business? This question has been investigated in no fewer than 95 empirical studies published since 1972. The authors have assembled a compendium of this research to give researchers and practitioners alike a broad overview of these 95 studies and a systematic database detailing the content of each one. This book provides a comprehensive portrait of this research literature. It begins with a broad orientation to the literature, exploring why the link between social and financial performance has been subject to continual inquiry and often heated debate. The authors then present an integrated overview of the 95 studies. Through the charts and tables, the authors illuminate the nature of the studies conducted; the data samples selected for investigation; the ways in which financial and social performance have been measured; and the overall tally of results.

Download or read book The Collaborative Enterprise written by Antonio Tencati and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competitive economics produces an enormous abundance of goods and services but at an intolerable environmental and social cost. Competition has become an end in itself, which leads to detrimental effects on nature, society and future generations. A change of paradigm is needed. Business should respect the ecological and social limits in which it operates and embed its activities in the natural and social systems. This book promotes a collaborative attitude of doing business based on a positive view of the self and others. Theoretical contributions, reflections, cases, examples, and initiatives collected in the book show that a collaborative enterprise is not only possible but also a feasible and desirable alternative to the current, self-defeating, managerial models. Innovative firms seeking to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with all of their stakeholders while producing values for their business ecosystems represent well-grounded hopes for a really sustainable future.

This book was released on 2022-04-20 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’evoluzione del contesto economico-sociale e le crescenti sollecitazioni espresse dagli stakeholder direttamente e indirettamente coinvolti nell’attività delle aziende fanno sì che esse debbano oggi tener conto delle conseguenze e dei complessivi impatti delle azioni e dei comportamenti adottati per poter assolvere alla loro funzione tipica di “creazione del valore”. Da tempo l’osservanza dei valori intrinseci propri della RSI non rappresenta per le aziende una scelta volontaria, ma un approccio da adottare per poter competere sul mercato. È cresciuta, ormai, la consapevolezza da parte degli organi di governo della grande influenza che i temi “sociali” rivestono e dell’impatto che essi esercitano sui comportamenti degli stakeholder, come testimoniato, peraltro, dalla diffusione di strumenti di social accountability volti a rendere pubblici gli sforzi e le strategie social responsible attuate. È opinione diffusa, infatti, che il dibattito sulla RSI non vada separato da quello concernente la gestione e il governo delle imprese, in quanto, spesso, l’irresponsabilità delle imprese fa capo alle strutture e ai processi di corporate governance. L’analisi, pertanto, ha riguardato in modo specifico, le implicazioni e i riflessi che la RSI ha sulla governance e sui processi di rendicontazione. Ai fini dell’indagine è stato utilizzato l’approccio metodologico tipico dell’economia aziendale. In tal senso, la revisione della letteratura nazionale e internazionale viene arricchita dalla costruzione e visualizzazione di reti bibliometriche.
