Taylor & Francis Ltd Celebrity Fashion Marketing
Book SynopsisThis book explores the concept of the celebrity as a ''Human Fashion Brand'' and the effectiveness of the celebrity in promoting fashions and shaping the identity and decisions of fashion consumers. Beginning with an overview of the background and context of the fashion celebrity, the authors consider celebrity fashion classifications, fashion influencers, explore existing theory, models, and tools and the role of technology; and explain how celebrity-endorsed products impact on fashion consumers and trends. The book defines and develops a Human Fashion Brand Model', which describes the relationship between the fashion celebrity, fashion celebrity marketers and fashion consumer behaviour choices in celebrity fashion emulation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Business Compliance and Human Rights Law
Book SynopsisIn recent years, transnational private regulations (TPRs) have gained importance in the areas of business and human rights, particularly from a consumer point of view. However, some question whether TPRs are indeed suitable normative frameworks contributing to their signatory entities' compliance with human rights standards and effective avoidance of human rights abuses. In response to this question, this book proposes an analytical concept of effective compliance. Based on the elements identified as crucial for achieving effective compliance, it conducts an in-depth analysis of how TPRs' normative frameworks function in practice and identifies common patterns and challenges. Such inquiry is based on an interdisciplinary methodological approach between law and sociology, seeking not only to comprehend and assess how law is systematized in theoretical terms, but also to understand how it works on the ground. This allows identification of the lack of active and effective participationTable of ContentsIntroduction1 The Transnational Legal Landscape2 Adjusting The Lenses: Transnational Private Regulations In The Field Of Business And Human Rights3 Effective Compliance With Transnational Private Regulations In The Field Of Business And Human Rights: The Need For An Interdisciplinary Assessment4 Transnational Private Regulation Processes: Looking For Effective Compliance5 Legal Empowerment In The Context Of Transnational Private Regulations In The Area Of Business And Human Rights6 The Role Of The Struggle For Rights In The Achievement Of Effective Compliance With Transnational Private RegulationsConclusion

Taylor & Francis Ltd Intersectionality and Crisis Management
Book SynopsisIntersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity aims to embed the social equity discourse into crisis management while exploring the potential of a new tool, the Integrative Crisis Management Model. Leaders and managers navigate a complex and networked environment of policy-making and action, frequently occurring in real time, under constant media exposure. The pervasive availability of this news on all platforms and devices produces a lingering anxiety about the inevitability of danger. Consequently, crisis affords a time-sensitive exploration of management practices and sheds a critical spotlight on deficiencies that may yield novel approaches to doing business.As the book engages contributing authors who are foremost in their field, it also includes practitioners, students, and junior scholars in a creative new discourse about equity. Bringing these diverse voices together in one volume presents a unique opportunity to generate new insights. InterTrade Review"The book, weaving together topical issues from intersections of identities, disaster resilience, healthcare, human resource management, approaches by public and non-profit organizations in crisis management, and the challenge of equity, provides evidence and interesting contemporary debates. The examples offered are timely and illustrate clearly both how and why intersectionality is a critical component of effective, equitable, and fair crisis management. This text will be a must-read for both academics and practitioners in the fields of crisis/emergency management, diversity and inclusion, social equity!" Mary E. Guy, PhD, Distinguished Professor, School of Public Affairs, University of Colorado, Denver"Resilience demands cohesive communities, interwoven social fabric, and democratic strengths. Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity provides a timely and important addition to growing interdisciplinary literature. This edited volume utilizes intersectionality to better inform crisis management in building resilient communities with specific emphasis on social equity and community vulnerabilities." Naim Kapucu, PhD, Pegasus Professor, School of Public Administration & School of Politics, Security, and International Affairs, University of Central Florida"Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity addresses important social equity issues at a time where crisis management is becoming increasingly important in public, nonprofit, and health organizations. Readers will appreciate diverse perspectives from both established and emerging scholars." Andy Crosby, PhD, Assistant Professor of Instruction, Master of Arts in Public Policy and Administration Program, Northwestern University "Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity is a timely book given unprecedented global crises such as the pandemic, economic recession, natural and environmental disasters, etc. The book provides thought-provoking discussions on how crises expose population groups to vulnerabilities and social equity challenges. A unique contribution of the book is the incorporation of an intersectional lens to expose social equity challenges because the impact of crises are felt at varying degrees by different people. The book, weaving together topical issues from intersections of identities, disaster resilience, healthcare, human resource management, approaches by public and non-profit organizations in crisis management, and the challenge of equity, provides evidence and interesting contemporary debates. Scholars and policy practitioners will find this book of interest in managing crises across social groups for building more resilient communities." Karen Johnston, PhD, Professor of Organisational Studies at the University of Portsmouth, and Associate Dean for Research and Innovation for the Faculty of Business and Law"Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity is an edited volume that utilizes intersectionality to better inform crisis management in building resilient communities with specific emphasis on social equity brings important insights into social equity issues at a time where crisis management is becoming increasingly important in public, nonprofit, and health organizations. Readers will appreciate diverse perspectives from both established and emerging scholars." Phin Xaypangna, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer, County of Ventura, California"This volume offers a much-needed examination of issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, and socioeconomic factors and the ways in which these issues play out in crisis management. The various treatments presented by the contributing authors offer a compelling and insightful case for intersectionality in crisis management. The examples offered are timely, and illustrate clearly both how and why intersectionality is a critical component of effective, equitable, and fair crisis management. This text will be a must-read for both academics and practitioners in the fields of crisis/emergency management, diversity and inclusion, social equity, and intersectionality. Highly recommended!" John C. Morris, PhD, Professor Auburn University"The editors insert social equity discourse into crisis management and introduce the Integrative Crisis Management Model as a new tool for managers. The editors visualize society as being in a perpetual, pervasive state of emergency and put a spotlight on public planning, risk management, and crisis management. They supply definitions for terms used in the rest of the book and issue a challenge to readers to use “a critical eye toward disrupting the status quo to create more equitable practices” (p. 3). In the last chapter, the editors explore the Integrative Crisis Management Model. When a crisis occurs, the individuals, families, and communities most affected are those needing a voice in the planning process. By adding places for intersectional processes into the Crisis Management Model, the editors hope to build a path to social equity. The contributing authors are mostly academics in US higher education. All are considered experts in their field. Each chapter covers a different sector of society, has a bibliography, and includes discussion questions." L.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The European Sovereign Debt Crisis
Book SynopsisThe European Sovereign Debt Crisis: Breaking the Vicious Circle between Sovereigns and Banks explains why the euro area's progress towards reining in the risks arising from the well-documented bi-directional financial contagion transmission mechanism that links sovereigns to commercial banks has been more prominent compared to the channel of contagion moving from banks to sovereigns.Providing an analysis of the legal and regulatory measures that Europe and the euro area have taken to mitigate the exposure of sovereigns to financial crises generated by commercial banks, this book draws attention to areas where improvements to the arsenal of tools hitherto introduced are either desirable or necessary. Chapters further explain with recourse to economic and legal arguments why the channel of contagion moving from sovereigns to commercial banks has proven harder to close, and explores ways in which progress could be made in the direction of closing it sTable of ContentsIntroduction (1) The Sovereign-Banks Nexus: An Economic Analysis (2) The European Sovereign Debt Crisis as a Source of Case Studies (3) An Economic Analysis of Policy Options (4) Closing the First Channel of Contagion: Hitherto European Actions and Their Critique (5) Closing the Second Channel of Contagion: Legal Assessment of Policy Options Concluding Remarks

Taylor & Francis Ltd HumanCentered Agile
Book SynopsisThis book is a guide on how to apply Human-Centered Design (HCD) practices to an Agile product development model that is used widely throughout industry and government, where it is applied primarily to software and technology development efforts. This has been an ongoing industry challenge due to the fact that HCD prioritizes time spent understanding the problems to be solved (time spent in the problem space), while Agile prioritizes a fast hypothesize-and-deliver model (time spent in the solution space). Organizations that attempt an Agile transformation abandon it either because it was too difficult or because it did not deliver the hoped-for results. At the same time, efforts to improve the design and experience of their products using Human-Centered Design have a tendency to fall short because it can be difficult to see the ROI of design efforts, even while companies like McKinsey document design-driven successes. What's more, a company that successfully adopts Agile ofteTrade ReviewHuman-Centered Agile is a holistic approach to integrating Agile and Human-Centered Design (HCD) that facilitates vital enterprise-agility, the focus of my work for the past decade. Agile and HCD both operate concurrently and interactively, energizing and focusing on the product delivery lifecycle, which is the determinant of future organizational success. Conceptually, Human-Centered Agile is simply teams doing both things at the same time, unleashing amazing results consistently.Human-Centered Agile (HCA) is a must have competitive necessity for delivering a powerful organizational impact. It is a new way of working and thinking that creates a successful competitive response to an ever more insane marketplace, making mastery of product and delivery an existential determinant. Thus, HCA should not be treated as an HCD "bolt-on" accessory for the Agile process.The existential reality of today’s marketplace competition means only organizations that quickly deliver the "correct" solution will survive, much less thrive. That requires building "something" and obtaining user feedback, which Agile methods provide. The genius of Human-Centered Agile is that it provides a toolkit to improve that "something" from the very first iteration! Human-Centered Agile simultaneously and continuously accelerates the integration of learning into product development, thereby delivering better products faster and, ultimately, unleashing enterprise-wide agility… and the ability to thrive!-- John G.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Unmanned Ships and the Law
Book SynopsisThis book considers the law relating to the legal aspects of unmanned ships.The author, a doyen of shipping and insurance law from Turkey, delves into the current international legal regime and examines the probable impact of unmanned ships on liability and carriage of goods in a wide-ranging manner. He examines both the legal aspects and technological peculiarities of unmanned ships, as well as contemplating terminological and linguistic questions, to find out whether they can be compatible with the current legal regime applicable to ships in general, while considering alternatives to enable their successful use in the near future. Unmanned Ships and the Law is therefore important not just for legal practitioners and academics in shipping and insurance but all those in related industries of shipbuilding, computer technology and communications.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Accounting and Auditing Standards for Islamic
Book SynopsisWhile accounting and audit functions are significantly regulated and standardized in conventional financial industries and activities, through the implementation of International Accounting Standards, and International Financial Reporting Standards, as well as other international, regional, and local regulations, this is not the case for Islamic financial organizations.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Institutions and Chinese Economic Development
Book SynopsisChina's rise as an economic power has posed some challenging questions: how did China achieve GDP growth that was even faster than the Four Asian Tigers? Is the Chinese model superior? Why hasn't the rapid economic growth lead to democracy in the country as many observers expected? And can China sustain its rapid economic growth with its existing social system? Institutions and Chinese Economic Development: A Comparative Historical Approach explores these questions by studying the historical relationship between institutions and economic development in China, drawing comparisons with England, Japan and other Asian economies as appropriate. The investigation focuses on several junctures in China's economic development: the starting point of the divergence between China and the West; the externally-provoked industrial development in the late 19th century; and the contemporary Chinese Miracle. The analysis foregrounds the role played by Chinese institutions anTable of Contents(1) Introduction (2) Core Institutions in China and England before the Industrial Revolution (3) Core Institutions and the First Industrial Revolution (4) The Chinese and Japanese States in the Nineteenth Century (5) Externally-Induced Industrial Developments in Qing China and Meiji Japan (6) The Chinese Miracle: Economic Growth in Contemporary China (7) Prospects of the Chinese Economic Development
