Through 12 case studies, this publication discusses some of the main economic, social, ecological and policy opportunities and challenges of CIFM in Europe, and outlines the principal lessons learned according to three key groups of actors: governments, NGOs and local communities.

Download or read book Modern Management of Enterprises written by Henry K. Junckerstorff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-05-06 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is written first of all for the European manager who needs more information on the subject than ever before. The American science of management as a whole is scarcely known in Western Europe although many details have been learned and put to use. A general approach, however, is needed. I have tried therefore to develop the main aspects in this field seen against the background of the national sciences and its characteristics. Thus the scientist will find an approach which as yet has never been offered before and he will be faced with a challenge to help setting up a science of management on a universal scale. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The author wishes to express his appreciation to his colleagues, associates and staff for their contributions of time and effort.

Book excerpt: This book examines the mechanisms and channels through which American managerial know-how and US management models were transferred to Europe after 1945, as well as the actual influence on European industries, companies and regions in the 1950s and 1960s. It explores the role of the European Productivity Agency, business leaders, US multinationals, regional networks and institutions, as well as the actual transfer process and potential political, cultural and institutional barriers.

Download or read book Management Work and Welfare in Western Europe written by Mick Carpenter and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text analyzes the relationship between management, work and welfare across Western Europe at the end of the 20th century. It argues that, despite the continuing differences between national and industrial relations, institutions and welfare systems, there is a growing convergence in European work and welfare practices. In addition, it discusses the recent drift of the citizen rights form of work-welfare relationship towards the formal contract model of citizenship which prevails in the United States.
Download or read book Social Enterprise in Western Europe written by Jacques Defourny and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last two decades, the quest for a widely accepted definition of social enterprise has been a central issue in a great number of publications. The main objective of the ICSEM Project on which this book is based was to show that the social enterprise field would benefit much more from linking conceptualisation efforts to the huge diversity of social enterprises than from an additional and ambitious attempt at providing an encompassing definition. Starting from a hypothesis that could be termed "the impossibility of a unified definition", the ICSEM research strategy relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the social enterprise phenomenon in its local and national contexts. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major social enterprise models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level. Social Enterprise in Western Europe –the third volume in a series of four ICSEM-based books on social enterprise worldwide – will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and others who want to acquire a broad understanding of the social enterprise and social entrepreneurship phenomena as they emerge and develop in this region.
Download or read book Ungulate Management in Europe written by Rory Putman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers a number of problems posed by ungulates and their management in Europe. Through a synthesis of the underlying biology and a comparison of the management techniques adopted in different countries, the book explores which management approaches seem effective - and in which circumstances. Experts in a number of different areas of applied wildlife biology review various management problems and alternative solutions, including the impact of large ungulates on agriculture, forestry and conservation habitats, the impact of disease and predation on ungulate populations and the involvement of ungulates in road traffic accidents and possible measures for mitigation. This book is directed at practising wildlife managers, those involved in research to improve methods of wildlife management, and policy-makers in local, regional and national administrations.
