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.

Download or read book Starting Up in Business Networks written by Lise Aaboen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a novel perspective on starting-up new business ventures through examining the process by which they become part of the existing business environment. The book highlights the importance of inter-organizational business relationships. Asserting that new ventures need to interact and connect with customers and suppliers, alongside policy actors and universities, Starting up in Business Networks demonstrates how beginning a new venture demands initiating and developing business relationships. Noting a lack of prior research into the process by which start-ups embed into an existing business network, this book presents examples from countries such as Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands and China to analyse the emergence and evolution of start-up business networks.

Download or read book Innovative Learning Models for Prisoners written by Francesca Torlone and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison education should be a top priority issue in most societies. Prison conditions must not infringe human rights and dignity and must offer meaningful treatment programmes in order to support inmates in their rehabilitation and reintegration in society. The use of ICTs within a penitentiary context plays a crucial role in that. The present Volume looks at the learning potential in prisons and reports on innovative (e-)learning pathways for basic skills education as designed and tested in Cyprus, Greece, Italy and Romania. Research investigated on what counts as ‘educational’ in such a complex context and how to combine relevant pieces in a ‘learning mosaic’ (the broad range of any learning opportunity across it). This Volume argues that such an approach may be adopted in a wider European perspective within the frame of dynamic security.

This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the now widely recognized importance of intangible assets and intellectual capital, they still appear to be poorly understood by both academics and practitioners. Indeed, the necessity for adopting a fresh approach to their reporting, measurement and management is today generally clear and accepted. This book gives room to new perspectives which broaden the scope and depth of the investigation, whilst also opening up innovative methods and opportunities for practice.

Download or read book Environmentally Harmful Subsidies written by and published by OECD. This book was released on 2005-08-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subsidies are pervasive throughout OECD countries and worldwide. Every year, OECD countries transfer at least USD 400 billion to different economic sectors. Much of this support is potentially environmentally harmful. Reforming environmentally harmful subsidies is a significant policy challenge facing OECD countries. However, untangling and assessing the effects of subsidies on the environment is a complex task. A systematic approach is required to ensure that appropriate policies are developed and the benefits of reform fully realised. This report presents sectoral analyses on agriculture, fisheries, water, energy and transport. It proposes a checklist approach to identifying and assessing environmentally harmful subsidies. It also identifies the key tensions and conflicts that are likely to influence subsidy policy making. Can the political and economic impediments to subsidy reform be overcome? This book concludes with a discussion of politically feasible subsidy reform strategies. FURTHER READING Environmentally Harmful Subsidies: Policy Issues and Challenges (OECD, 2003)
