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.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sostenibilità e la Responsabilità Sociale d’Impresa (RSI) rappresentano un tema di profondo interesse da parte delle imprese e degli operatori economici, politici e sociali. Per le realtà aziendali, è ormai di tutta evidenza che un successo economico duraturo non può prescindere dall’ottenimento e dal mantenimento del consenso dei propri stakeholder. È necessario quindi contemperare i molteplici interessi dei soggetti coinvolti e interessati all’attività svolta, in una prospettiva che abbraccia le istanze di natura reddituale e quelle di natura etico-sociale e ambientale. Nella definizione delle strategie aziendali è fondamentale valutare le attese di diversa natura e i differenti livelli di partecipazione e coinvolgimento che qualificano il rapporto fra azienda e stakeholder, radicando profondamente l’assunzione di responsabilità sociale nella governance aziendale. Nondimeno, gli aspetti di comunicazione della RSI rivestono un ruolo fondamentale sia per quanto attiene all’adempimento dei doveri assunti dall’azienda nei confronti dei propri stakeholder, sia con riferimento alla legittimazione che da una trasparente e attendibile comunicazione può derivare. Alla luce di quanto osservato, il volume si propone di offrire una lettura dei principali elementi di analisi in ambito di responsabilità sociale, con particolare riferimento agli aspetti di governance e di comunicazione. Sono quindi trattati i concetti fondamentali in tema di sostenibilità, responsabilità sociale d’impresa ed etica d’impresa considerandoli in una prospettiva strategica di governance aziendale. Successivamente il lavoro si concentra sulla comunicazione aziendale, con particolare riferimento agli strumenti di accountability diretta e di gestione della RSI.Il libro è il frutto della riflessione e dell’esperienza maturata da un gruppo di docenti e ricercatori che da tempo si occupano di sostenibilità, etica e responsabilità sociale di impresa; ogni contributo nasce dall’elaborazione personale dei diversi Autori, sia pure collocandosi in un comune e condiviso quadro di riferimento.

Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by Ross C. Brownson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.

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.

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)

Download or read book The Hard Life written by Flann O'Brien and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-11-19 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “wild, hilarious, fast moving, irreverent and comic” novel of growing up in turn-of-the-century Dublin from the acclaimed Irish author (New York Herald Tribune). When Finbarr’s mother dies, he and his older brother Manus are sent to their half-uncle’s house in Dublin. There, he is introduced to school—and the leather strap—at a benevolent Christian Brothers establishment. Evenings are spent listening to his uncle’s whisky-fueled discussions with a Jesuit priest, arguing the finer points of Roman Catholic theology and local politics. Finbarr follows Manus’s enterprising exploits—which include foregoing formal education to concoct money-making cons that prey on the gullible. As his uncle embarks on an ill-fated pilgrimage to Rome (where he is told to go to hell by the Holy Father himself), it remains to be seen if the life lessons Finbarr has absorbed set him on a path to righteousness and gainful employment . . . “A comic Irish novel that derives its effect from an absolutely deadpan approach, for the narrator is a small boy who, for the better part of the time, has only the foggiest notion of what he is describing. Young Finbarr commands a glorious version of the English language combined with a totally impartial view of adult actions. The two things produce remarkable results.” —The Atlantic “The conversation is a delight . . . and the atmosphere of a lower-middle-class family, with its cheerless, shabby, restricted way of life, is well done.” —Library Journal
