Taylor & Francis Sustainability and the Rural Enterprise Economy
Book SynopsisEnterprises in rural regions must now act in a globalized world and face global challenges, such as climate change, resource scarcities and social inequalities or the sustainability preferences of consumers. Rural start-up enterprises often strive to contribute to the solutions of global-scale problems, for example, the issues expressed by the United Nation s Sustainable Development Goals, and for getting skilled labor into urban regions in order to make rural regions appealing to young people again. This book explores the management of sustainability issues in the context of the rural enterprise economy.It sheds light on these challenges and opportunities by linking the rural enterprise economy and sustainability management. It provides practical evidence about how rural enterprises and rural entrepreneurs can handle sustainability requirements and contribute to sustainability transformations in terms of economic, environmental and social stability. In addition to its practical relevance, the motivation of the book is first and foremost to develop a common understanding of the necessary key terminology and core concepts in a still largely underexplored, yet rapidly expanding research field and contribute to theory development by employing a multidisciplinary approach. It offers state-of-the-art cases from various countries to question and approach unresolved research questions related to sustainability issues and the management of sustainability, which are both a requirement and an opportunity for entrepreneurs and enterprises in a rural context.The book primarily targets scholars and researchers in economics and business research, entrepreneurship, innovation, regional planning, economic geography and sustainability management. It is also aimed at practitioners committed to enterprise development or entrepreneurship in rural regions and elsewhere, and policymakers and policy actors at different levels.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Deglobalization
Book SynopsisThe emerging conflict between the US and China has an inherent tendency towards a development of deglobalization. It is the historical prerequisites for this deglobalization that are examined in this book. These assumptions are largely based on what is termed the second wave of globalization, based on increasing technological competition between the US and China, as well as China''s expansion along the New Silk Road.In this book, the author makes a distinction between the Old Globalization and the New Globalization. The Old Globalization was characterized by competition over costs in general and wage costs in particular, while the New Globalization is categorized by new competencies and skills, especially technological capabilities and technological innovations. The second wave, which is driven by technological innovations, lays the foundation for a counter-strategy on the part of the US to stem the Chinese technological expansion. It is this new strategy that confines the seTable of Contents1. Towards deglobalization 2. Technological innovations drive deglobalization 3. Deglobalization: A new economic world order (USA-China)

Taylor & Francis The Economic Consequences of Power Production
Book SynopsisFirst published in 1931, The Economic Consequences of Power Production presents an analysis of the societal and economic impacts of the increasing reliance on electricity and mechanized power. The book, written by Fred Henderson (1867-1957), has been part of early 20th century discourse about automation, productivity, and work-life balance. It is noted for its critical perspective on the potential negative consequences of unchecked technological advancement, as suggested by a 1933 New York Times review that described it as offering A Gloomy View of Power Age Consequences. This work remains an important historical reference for scholars interested in the history of technology and its societal impacts.

The Economics of Knowledge and the Knowledge-Driven Economy provides a one-stop' collection of classic and contemporary contributions to facilitate ready access to the most influential and important scholarship from a wide range of theoretical and practical perspectives.

Cambridge University Press Industrial Policy
Book SynopsisDismissing industrial policy because ''governments cannot pick winners'' is counter-productive. This Element studying selected major innovations illustrates the fact that virtually all major new technologies have been developed by a synergetic cooperation between the public and the private sectors, each doing what it can do best. By examining how R&D is financed, rather than where it takes place, the authors show that the role of the public sector is much more pronounced than is often thought. The nature of the cooperation - who does what - varies with the nature of each innovation so that simple, one-size-fits-all, rules about what each sector should do are suspect. These results are particularly important because they challenge the scepticism in the United states and elsewhere about the importance of industrial policy, a scepticism that threatens to undermine the long-term, and necessary cooperation, between the public and private sectors in promoting growth-inducing innovations.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Policy Implications Of Two Views Of The Economy; 3. Concepts and Definitions; 4. Case Studies; 5. General Lessons; 6. Summary; Appendix: Bell Labs; References.
