Download or read book The Handbook of Innovation and Services written by F. Gallouj and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 823 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book represents a significant step towards dealing with the lacuna constituted by the inadequacy of the literature on the services. And, as such, it approaches its task from a variety of directions.' From the foreword by William J. Baumol, New York University, US 'The Handbook of Innovation and Services is an exceptional volume. Its contributors, including Faïz Gallouj, William Baumol, Jean Gadrey, and Pascal Petit, are among the major thinkers in both the fields of the economics of services and the economics of innovation. Selected topics include the "cost disease", services innovation in the global economy, social innovation in the services, and innovation and employment in services. The book, I am sure, will become a standard reference volume in both these fields in the ensuing years.' Edward Wolff, New York University, US This Handbook brings together 49 international specialists to address an issue of increasing importance for the world's post-industrial economies; innovation as it relates to services. Contemporary economies have two fundamental characteristics. Firstly, they are service economies in as much as services account for more than 70 per cent of the wealth and jobs in most developed countries. Secondly, they are innovation economies as recent decades have seen an unprecedented development of scientific, technological, organisational and social innovations. This Handbook expertly links these two major characteristics in order to investigate the role of innovation in services, an issue that until now has been inadequately explored and one that poses many theoretical and operational challenges. This comprehensive volume encompasses the views of eminent scholars from a range of disciplines including economics, management, sociology and geography, and draws on a number of different analytical and methodological perspectives. With its multi-disciplinary approach this Handbook will be an invaluable reference source for academics and students in the fields of economics, management and the geography of services and innovation. Public authorities and managers in the service sector will also find this book fascinating.

Download or read book Social Innovation the Social Economy and World Economic Development written by Denis Harrisson and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of work and labour is in a permanent transformation affecting the various social groups in the different parts of the world quite unequally. Social innovations, related to the idea of economic progress and well-being, tackle the problems of employment leading to social exclusion and poverty as a consequence of the extreme positioning in favour of economic performance. An alternative economy complements the deficiency of both the market and the State. This volume presents contributions from scholars coming from different continents, about Social Economy, Labour Rights, corporate Social Responsibility, Social Regulations and Public Policies. Social innovations have huge impacts on national and regional economies as their sources come from the citizen. Many initiatives presented in this volume are a social response by civil society to poverty, precarious employment, job losses, long term unemployment, delocalisation and de-industrialisation.

Download or read book Innovation and the Social Economy written by Marie J. Bouchard and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social economy organizations such as cooperatives, non-profits, mutual benefit groups, foundations, and non-governmental organizations are uniquely positioned to respond not only to emerging social and economic needs, but also to new collective aspirations. In Québec, for instance, a pioneering social economy system has been developed that is recognized worldwide for its ability to foster innovative solutions to economic disparity and sustainability issues. In the wake of a global crisis that has emphasized the growing gap between economic and social concerns, what can other regions gain from this model? Through robust theoretical and in-depth empirical studies, this book offers the first opportunity to English-language readers to learn about the Québec experience of a social economy system. It takes stock of recent developments in the province relating to policy planning, governance, financing, local development, and legal frameworks. Innovation and the Social Economy also emphasizes this system’s potential for exploring alternative practices of production, consumption, and distribution that can foster social transformation.

Download or read book Social Fabric Or Patchwork Quilt written by Jeff Keshen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both historical and contemporary features of Canadian social welfare are explored in this wide-ranging and in-depth collection. Social Fabric or Patchwork Quilt explores the evolution of the Canadian social welfare state from a system based upon voluntarism and philanthropy to one in which the State's involvement has increased considerably. It also shows how the roles of governments at all levels have changed in recent times. Chapters describe the developing Canadian welfare state from Confederation to the present. Beginning with an integrative framework in the general introduction, the selected essays represent many perspectives: chronological, regional, multidisciplinary and ideological. An important feature of this collection is the consideration of providers and recipients. Such wide-ranging outlooks are possible given the diverse backgrounds of contributors, which include historians, sociologists, social workers, public policy experts and political scientists. As well as historical and sociological studies, topics include key programs (discussed in detail), the quality of services received by principal target groups, new directions in research; some contributions even revisit foundational older works and key government documents.

Download or read book Remaining Loyal written by David McGrane and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When social democratic politicians in the 1990s moderated their ideas and policies as part of a turn towards the "third way," they were assailed as traitors to the cause. Remaining Loyal demonstrates that while third way social democrats in Quebec and Saskatchewan supplemented certain social democratic ideas with more right-wing economic programs, their public policies remained true to the original spirit of social democracy. Drawing on a range of archival resources, David McGrane traces the evolution of social democracy in Quebec and Saskatchewan from their respective origins in social Catholic thought and agrarian protest movements at the turn of the twentieth century to the most recent Parti Québécois and New Democratic Party governments. In doing so, he reconstructs the public policies of traditional social democracy from the postwar era and the third way in the 1990s and early 2000s and finds both differences and continuities. McGrane contends that remaining loyal to core social democratic values is exactly what differentiates the third way from neo-liberalism in Saskatchewan and Quebec. The first historical comparison of social democracy in Saskatchewan and Quebec, Remaining Loyal challenges how we think about the recent ideological evolution of left-wing parties in Canada and the rest of the world.

Download or read book Quelle conomie pour l emploi written by Lydia Brovelli and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1995-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mettre fin au chômage, construire un objectif de plein emploi, ou de pleine activité, sont-ils encore des projets crédibles ? Quatre acteurs, syndicaliste, socialiste, communiste critique et écologiste, tentent de donner leurs réponses. Ils confrontent leurs arguments, enrichis de la diversité de leur expérience de responsable d'entreprise, d'économiste et de militant. Leur dialogue prolonge un débat d'idées sur un thème essentiel au changement d'une société qui sécrète cinq millions d'exclus. Peut-on se résigner à la perte de la crédibilité de la politique, au désarroi de la gauche et de l'écologie politique ? Plutôt que de s'empêtrer dans les querelles d'appareils, et la succession des petites phrases, la nouvelle collection Perspectives offre, aux responsables de la gauche et du courant écologiste, de débattre en profondeur de leurs idées. En prolongeant la recherche engagée par les Assises de la transformation sociale, chacun des auteurs intervient à titre personnel. Chaque ouvrage de la collection n'est pas une simple juxtaposition des points de vue : il donne, dans une première partie, des arguments permettant de croiser les réponses dans le débat de la seconde partie. La transformation de la société, l'emploi, la citoyenneté et l'Europe, sont les premiers thèmes abordés dans cette collection. Avec le souci d'élargir la discussion, au-delà des spécialistes et des seuls militants, à tous les citoyens.

Download or read book Un avenir pour l emploi written by Bruno Coquet and published by Odile Jacob. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contre le chômage, on a tout essayé ? Non, répond Bruno Coquet, car si on a multiplié les dispositifs coûteux, notamment pour alléger les cotisations sociales, l’emploi reste en quête d’une vraie stratégie, lisible et efficace. Ce livre bat en brèche le consensus qui règne sur le sujet. À force de se focaliser sur les rigidités du marché du travail et sur son coût, on oublie de poser des questions simples : pourquoi les tentatives de réforme ne concernent-elles jamais le secteur public ? Est-ce le travail qui est trop cher ou la protection sociale ? Pourquoi subventionner des emplois qui ne permettent même pas d’en vivre ? Bruno Coquet ne se contente pas de dénoncer quarante ans d’échecs en matière d’emploi. Il montre que des solutions sont possibles si l’on veut bien faire prévaloir les principes d’équité et de clarté, qui seuls permettront d’élargir le soutien dont la réforme a tant besoin. Bruno Coquet est docteur en économie, reconnu comme l’un des meilleurs experts français des politiques du marché du travail et de l’assurance-chômage. Intervenant auprès de l’Institut de l’entreprise et de l’OFCE, il a été président du comité de l’emploi (EMCO) du Conseil de l’Union européenne.
