ANTHROPOLOGIE ; ECONOMIE INTERNATIONALE ; PSYCHOLOGIE SOCIALE ; SOCIETE DE CONSOMMATIONRésumé : Leading economist Daniel Cohen provides a whirlwind tour of the history of economic growth, from the early days of civilization to modern times, underscoring what is so unsettling today. The new digital economy is establishing a "zero-cost" production model, inexpensive software is taking over basic tasks, and years of exploiting the natural world have begun to backfire with deadly consequences. Working hard no longer guarantees social inclusion or income. Drawing on economics, anthropology, and psychology, and thinkers ranging from Rousseau to Keynes and Easterlin, Cohen examines how a future less dependent on material gain might be considered and, how, in a culture of competition, individual desires might be better attuned to the greater needs of society.

CHANGEMENT SOCIAL ; CRISE ECONOMIQUE ; CROISSANCE ECONOMIQUE ; DEVELOPPEMENT ECONOMIQUERésumé : Necronomicon growth--and the hope of better things to come—is the religion of the modern world. Yet its prospects have become bleak, with crashes following booms in an endless cycle. In the United States, eighty percent of the population has seen no increase in purchasing power over the last thirty years and the situation is not much better elsewhere. The Infinite Desire for Growth spotlights the obsession with wanting more, and the global tensions that have arisen as a result. Amid finite resources, increasing populations, environmental degradation, and political unrest, the quest for new social and individual goals has never been so critical.

Titre : Winnebagos on Wednesdays : How Visionary Leadership Can Transform Higher Education Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Scott COWEN, Auteur Editeur : New Jersey : PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 40 p. (1 user) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4008-8953-2 Prix : 32 EUR Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management
ENSEIGNEMENT SUPERIEUR ; LEADERSHIP ; UNIVERSITERésumé : Why a strong mission and inspired leadership are vital to the success of America's colleges and universitiesIn 1998, soon after assuming the presidency of Tulane University, Scott Cowen was confronted with a setback. Despite an undefeated football season and putting the best financial deal on the table, Cowen was unable to retain the school's football coach. The coach wanted something the president didn't have--a football program so popular, as the coach put it, that fans would line up their Winnebagos on Wednesdays in anticipation of Saturday games. In that moment, Cowen improbably found himself in the entertainment business—and his university was deemed wanting.At a time when schools seem overrun by sports programs, spiraling costs, and absurd ranking systems, Winnebagos on Wednesdays argues that colleges and universities of all stripes and sizes can achieve their educational aims if they possess two things: visionary leadership and a strong mission. Cowen, named one of the nation's top university presidents by Time magazine in 2009, gives a behind-the-scenes look at the critical demands faced by many education leaders. He profiles a range of situations, from how Diana Natalicio of the University of Texas at El Paso expanded a school serving a specific demographic into an academic powerhouse to how Michael Sorrell shifted Paul Quinn College's mission to urban entrepreneurship in order to save the institution. Cowen also draws from his own hard-won experiences, including the rebuilding of Tulane and New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and the decision to maintain Tulane's football program. He shows how crucial choices in tough situations shape organizations, for better or ill.A sweeping overview of the higher education landscape, Winnebagos on Wednesdays demonstrates that the courage of transformative leadership is essential for colleges and universities to remain vital.

Titre : Capital and Collusion the political logic of global economic development Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Root HILTON, Auteur Editeur : New Jersey : PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESS Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 381 p. (400 crédits) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4008-8019-5 Prix : 114 EUR Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management
CROISSANCE ECONOMIQUE ; PAYS EN DEVELOPPEMENTRésumé : Why does capital formation often fail to occur in developing countries? Capital and Collusion explores the political incentives that either foster growth or steal nations' growth prospects. Hilton Root examines the frontier between risk and uncertainty, analyzing the forces driving development in both developed and undeveloped regions. In the former, he argues, institutions reduce everyday economic risks to levels low enough to make people receptive to opportunities for profit, stimulating developments in technology and science. Not so in developing countries. There, institutions that specialize in sharing risk are scarce. Money hides under mattresses and in teapots, creating a gap between a poor nation's savings and its investment. As a consequence, the developing world faces a growing disconnect between the value of its resources and the availability of finance. What are the remedies for eliminating this disparity? Root shows us how to close the growing wealth gap among nations by building institutions that convert uncertainty into risk. Comparing China to India, Latin America to East Asia, and contemporary to historical cases, he offers lessons that can help the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to tackle the political incentives that are the source of poor governance in developing nations.
