Book Description
The authors of this book are top executives in the luxury goods industry. In an environment in which brands have come under attack they argue that brands can be factors of progress if they are correctly managed. The book includes an analysis of brand nature and history and highlights the importance of semiotics in the management of brand identity. In summary they argue that brands cannot be held responsible for the imperfections and excesses of the worldwide economic and political systems, but that they can be signs of excellence and differentiation and vectors of values which favour multicultural understanding and put people in a position to generate progress.

Social and Solidarity Economy
Author: Peter Utting
Publisher: Zed Books Ltd.
ISBN: 178360347X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
As economic crises, growing inequality and climate change prompt a global debate on the meaning and trajectory of development, increasing attention is focusing on 'social and solidarity economy' as a distinctive approach to sustainable and rights-based development. While we are beginning to understand what social and solidarity economy is, what it promises and how it differs from 'business as usual', we know far less about whether it can really move beyond its fringe status in many countries and regions. Under what conditions can social and solidarity economy scale up and scale out - that is, expand in terms of the growth of social and solidarity economy organizations and enterprises, or spread horizontally within given territories? Bringing together leading researchers, blending theoretical and empirical analysis, and drawing on experiences and case studies from multiple countries and regions, this volume addresses these questions. In so doing, it aims to inform a broad constituency of development actors, including scholars, practitioners, activists and policy makers.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Comportamiento del consumidor. Decisiones y estrategia de marketing
Author: Javier Alonso Rivas
Publisher: ESIC
ISBN: 8417024646
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 547
Book Description
En la actualidad no se concibe adquirir conocimientos de marketing sin que paralelamente se estudie el comportamiento del consumidor. Son las dos caras de una misma moneda. El marketing proporciona conceptos e instrumentos para la gestión, y el comportamiento del consumidor enseña cómo perciben, sienten y actúan las personas destinatarias de los bienes y servicios que producen las organizaciones. Los conceptos de marketing son insuficientes para actuar con éxito en el mercado si no se sabe cómo son y se comportan las personas. Este libro responde en estructura y contenido a los manuales más avanzados de comportamiento del consumidor, generalmente de procedencia norteamericana, con la diferencia de que en su redacción se ha puesto especial énfasis en nuestra cultura y en la forma que tenemos de explicar y entendernos. La línea argumental se basa en la formulación de conceptos, planteamiento de preguntas, discusión de soluciones, incorporación de aportaciones de otros autores, datos y estadísticas nacionales, todo ello de forma lógica, rigurosa y ordenada. También se incluyen numerosas ilustraciones relacionadas con el texto, para conseguir un mejor entendimiento y recuerdo de los conceptos que el lector aprenderá. El lenguaje empleado para escribir este libro es sencillo, sin tecnicismos innecesarios. Sin embargo, posee numerosos conceptos, que si bien pueden resultar inicialmente complejos, la forma en que se exponen y comentan los hace perfectamente asequibles a cualquier lector. Este lector puede ser un estudiante de grado o postgrado que entra por vez primera en contacto con el apasionante mundo del comportamiento de los consumidores. También los profesionales de la gestión encontrarán en sus páginas numerosas estrategias que contribuirán al éxito de sus negocios. El libro se acompaña de las presentaciones en Microsoft PowerPoint de todos los capítulos. En ellas se resumen los conceptos clave de cada uno de los temas tratados, así como todas las ilustraciones que figuran en el texto impreso. De esta manera se proporciona al lector un recurso adicional para la lectura del libro y al docente un material didáctico de indudable utilidad para sus presentaciones académicas ante su audiencia. Índice Marketing y comportamiento del consumidor.- La integración interdisciplinar y el estudio de las necesidades.- Los modelos de comportamiento del consumidor.- El entorno de la demanda.- Cultura y comportamiento del consumidor.- Los estratos sociales.- Análisis de los grupos y de la familia.- Procesamiento de la información: análisis de la percepción.- Aprendizaje y memoria.- Personalidad y estilos de vida.- Actitudes y cambio de actitudes.- Reconocimiento del problema y búsqueda de información.- Procesos de compra y actuaciones postcompra.- El consumidor y la compra electrónica.

International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251091870
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Wired for Innovation
Author: Erik Brynjolfsson
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262518619
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
Two experts on the information economy explore the true economic value of technology and innovation. A wave of business innovation is driving the productivity resurgence in the U.S. economy. In Wired for Innovation, Erik Brynjolfsson and Adam Saunders describe how information technology directly or indirectly created this productivity explosion, reversing decades of slow growth. They argue that the companies with the highest level of returns to their technology investment are doing more than just buying technology; they are inventing new forms of organizational capital to become digital organizations. These innovations include a cluster of organizational and business-process changes, including broader sharing of information, decentralized decision-making, linking pay and promotions to performance, pruning of non-core products and processes, and greater investments in training and education. Innovation continues through booms and busts. This book provides an essential guide for policy makers and economists who need to understand how information technology is transforming the economy and how it will create value in the coming decade.
