Titre : A short guide to climate change risk Type de document : Livre Auteurs : Nigel ARNELL, Auteur Editeur : Farnham : GOWER Année de publication : 2015 Importance : XVII;206 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4094-5352-9 Prix : 27 EUR Note générale : Index. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management ECOLOGIE ; CLIMAT ; ENTREPRISE ETRANGERE ; POLITIQUE DE L'ENVIRONNEMENT Résumé : Climate change poses a risk to business operations and to markets, and a poor business response to this risk can lead to reputational damage, or worse. At the same time, climate change can bring opportunities for some businesses. In this addition to Gowera (TM)s series of Short Guides to Business Risk, Professor Arnell, one of the worlda (TM)s leading experts in the field, reviews this critical area of risk posed to businesses and other organisations by climate change and considers how they can respond to this threat. A Short Guide to Climate Change Risk focuses on the impacts and consequences of climate change rather than on business use of energy or business and 'sustainability' issues. The author examines the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to addressing these risks, with international case study examples. With chapters on the nature, science and politics of climate change, on the assessment and management of climate change risks, and recommendations for incorporating climate change risks into a Company Risk Management System, this concise guide serves the needs of business students and practitioners across a wide range of sectors, public and private.

Sustainable markets for sustainable business / Güler ARAS / Farnham : GOWER (2015)

Titre : Sustainable markets for sustainable business : a global perspective for business and financial markets Type de document : Livre Auteurs : Güler ARAS, Auteur Editeur : Farnham : GOWER Année de publication : 2015 Importance : xxiii, 280 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4724-3341-1 Prix : 113 EUR Note générale : Index. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management RESPONSABILITE SOCIALE DE L'ENTREPRISE ; DEVELOPPEMENT DURABLE ; MARCHE Résumé : Around the world the focus is on the relationship between ethics and governance codes and how widely this should be interpreted. Sustainability has three main accepted dimensions: economic growth, social responsibility, and environmental protection. It is a truly multidimensional and multidisciplinary concept, and one which directly affects the risks and opportunities for markets and businesses. In three distinct parts, Sustainable Markets for Sustainable Business explores the relationship between markets and business and sustainable development, as well as issues such as climate change, pollution, land degradation and biodiversity loss. Firstly the authors, all experts from around the world, consider a variety of theoretical issues concerned with sustainability in the new environment. In Part Two the emphasis is on looking at these issues in the market and business practice under various guises. Although every chapter contains discussion and recommended solutions, the final part specifically focuses on future perspectives and the solution strategies for implementation of sustainability measures. Throughout the book the authors address the need for business and market sustainability reforms. The world's markets have the potential to improve the lives of billions in developing countries, reducing poverty and securing environmental quality for future generations. Often they fail to capture the full value of natural resources or promote the interests of poor people. Therefore, an effective public policy framework is required. Sustainable Markets for Sustainable Business and future titles in the Finance, Governance and Sustainability Series address this need.

African-centred management education / David ABDULAI / Farnham : GOWER (2014)

Titre : African-centred management education : a new paradigm for an emerging continent Type de document : Livre Auteurs : David ABDULAI, Auteur Editeur : Farnham : GOWER Année de publication : 2014 Importance : xiii, 148 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4724-1349-9 Prix : 84 EUR Note générale : Bibliogr. p.133-143. Index. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management AFRIQUE ; MANAGEMENT ; ENSEIGNEMENT DU MANAGEMENT Résumé : In African-Centred Management Education, Professor Abdulai looks critically at the failings of management education in Africa and how that has impacted growth and development efforts, especially at this critical stage in the continent's positive growth and development trajectory. He concludes that Africa's current positive economic growth cannot be sustained without a significant contribution from its human capital. He adds that, the outstanding economic record of Asian economies in recent decades dramatically illustrates how important human capital is to growth. These countries lacking natural resources and importing practically all their energy requirements have grown rapidly by relying on a well-trained, educated and conscientious workforce.Professor Abdulai believes that Africa, too, can sustain its current growth and development by effectively combining its abundant natural resources with its human capital to attain its economic development, but this will require an African cadre of well-trained managers at the helm of both private and public sector institutions. For this to become a reality, management education in Africa will have to play a significant role, but the author argues that it cannot be effective by continually mimicking the West in the programmes it delivers. It must come up with innovative and relevant pedagogy that will address the special challenges that the continent faces and deliver an African-centred management education.As well as pointing to the failures of management education in Africa, Abdulai offers suggestions as to how to make management education really contribute to the education of Africans, in order to sustain current and future development.

Building anti-fragile organisations / Tony BENDELL / Farnham : GOWER (2014)

Titre : Building anti-fragile organisations : risk, opportunity and governance in a turbulent world Type de document : Livre Auteurs : Tony BENDELL, Auteur Editeur : Farnham : GOWER Année de publication : 2014 Importance : xviii, 228 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4724-1388-8 Prix : 91 EUR Note générale : Bibliogr. p.217-223. Index. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management CHANGEMENT ORGANISATIONNEL ; SOCIOLOGIE DES ORGANISATIONS ; STRATEGIE Résumé : Every day human organisations fail. Building Anti-Fragile Organisations explores a powerful alternative framework for risk in the design and management of human systems. Anti-Fragility is a new way of thinking about mitigating risk that builds on earlier work on the characteristics of biological systems that, being more than just robust, actually improve their resilience through being stressed. Professor Bendell explains how applying this concept to the development and management of organisations, services and products, allows us to identify the characteristics that will not only mitigate against the realisation of hazards, but enable growth in protection, strength and anti-fragility over time. In this context, anti-fragility also encompasses flexibility, agility and the exploitation of opportunities. At the organisational level, anti-fragility (or its absence) is determined by the organisational strategy, structure and systems, its people, relationships and culture. The book focuses on establishing the Anti-Fragile concept of the firm, and explores its application in private and public sector organisations of all types. It identifies characteristics relevant to survival in a turbulent world, and how our approaches to risk and governance need to change in order to create and manage anti-fragile organisations. It provides practical insight into the concept of Anti-Fragility and its deployment within human organisations of all types, and give readers the opportunity to start to make sense to applying the concepts within their own worlds.
