Those that survived found themselves constantly on the brink, forced to reduce their programmes radically and to go dark for extended periods of time. Bringing Down the House delves into how and why this crisis occurred, and examines the long-term effects on Britain's theatre industry by revealing problems that extend beyond the Conservative government's scant regard for the arts, right back to the Second World War. By probing the history of regional theatres from the introduction of state funding, Turnbull uneartChanging Media, Changing EuropeTheaterGreat BritainHistory20th centuryTheaterPolitical aspectsGreat BritainElectronic books.TheaterHistoryTheaterPolitical aspects792.094109049Turnbull Olivia1000149MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454111303321Bringing down the house2295736UNINA04970nam 2200733Ia 450 991045487360332120200520144314.00-674-03830-410.4159/9780674038301(CKB)1000000000805523(StDuBDS)AH23050729(SSID)ssj0000217221(PQKBManifestationID)11191086(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000217221(PQKBWorkID)10202137(PQKB)10488875(MiAaPQ)EBC3300599(Au-PeEL)EBL3300599(CaPaEBR)ebr10326144(OCoLC)923112294(DE-B1597)574519(DE-B1597)9780674038301(EXLCZ)99100000000080552319960521d1996 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrThe ownership of enterprise[electronic resource] /Henry HansmannCambridge, MA The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press19961 online resource (xi, 372p. ) illBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-674-64970-2 0-674-00171-0 Includes bibliographical references (p. 299-363) and index.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction -- PART I A Theory of Enterprise Ownership -- 1 An Analytic Framework -- 2 The Costs of Contracting -- 3 The Costs of Ownership -- PART II Producer-Owned Enterprise -- 4 Investor-Owned Firms -- 5 The Benefits and Costs of Employee Ownership -- 6 Governing Employee-Owned Firms -- 7 Agricultural and Other Producer Cooperatives -- PART III Customer-Owned Enterprise -- 8 Retail, Wholesale, and Supply Firms -- 9 Utilities -- 10 Clubs and Other Associative Organizations -- 11 Housing -- PART IV Nonprofit and Mutual Enterprise -- 12 Nonprofit Firms -- 13 Banks -- 14 Insurance Companies -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Sources -- IndexThe investor-owned corporation is the conventional form for structuring large-scale enterprise in market economies. But it is not the only one. Even in the United States, noncapitalist firms play a vital role in many sectors. Employee-owned firms have long been prominent in the service professions - law, accounting, investment banking, medicine - and are becoming increasingly important in other industries. The buyout of United Airlines by its employees is the most conspicuous recent instance. Farmer-owned produce cooperatives dominate the market for most basic agricultural commodities. Consumer-owned utilities provide electricity to one out of eight households.;Key firms such as MasterCard, Associated Press, and Ace Hardware are service and supply cooperatives owner by local businesses. Occupant-owned condominiums and cooperatives are rapidly displacing investor-owned rental housing. Mutual companies owned by their policyholders sell half of all life insurance and one-quarter of all property and liability insurance. And nonprofit firms, which have no owners at all, account for 90 percent of all nongovernmental schools and colleges, two-thirds of all hospitals, half of all day-care centres, and one-quarter of all nursing homes.;Henry Hansmann explores the reasons for this diverse pattern of ownership. He explains why different industries and different national economies exhibit different distributions of ownership forms. The key to the success of a particular form he shows, depends on the balance between the costs of contracting in the market and the costs of ownership. And he examines how this balance is affected by history and by the legal and regulatory framework within which firms are organized.;With noncapitalist firms now playing an expanding role in the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe and Asia as well as in the developed market economies of the West, "The Ownership of Enterprise" should be a relevant book for business people, policymakers and scholars.CorporationsUnited StatesBusiness enterprisesUnited StatesNonprofit organizationsUnited StatesPrivate companiesUnited StatesEmployee ownershipUnited StatesStock ownershipUnited StatesMutualismUnited StatesCorporation lawUnited StatesElectronic books.CorporationsBusiness enterprisesNonprofit organizationsPrivate companiesEmployee ownershipStock ownershipMutualismCorporation law338.70973Hansmann Henry240766MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454873603321Ownership of enterprise50010UNINA04569oam 2200745I 450 991078840050332120230807210742.01-77463-551-80-429-15802-510.1201/b18525 (CKB)2670000000618254(EBL)2057696(SSID)ssj0001497968(PQKBManifestationID)12506239(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001497968(PQKBWorkID)11501103(PQKB)10616742(MiAaPQ)EBC2057696(OCoLC)910237201(EXLCZ)99267000000061825420180331h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrNew microbial technologies for advanced biofuels toward more sustainable production methods /edited by Juan Carlos Serrano-Ruiz, PhDToronto ;New Jersey :Apple Academic Press,[2015]©20151 online resource (374 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-77188-130-5 1-4987-2884-7 Cover; About the Editor; Contents; Acknowledgment and How to Cite; List of Contributors; Introduction; Chapter 1: Overview; Part I: Microorganisms; Chapter 2: Selection of Organisms for Systems Biology Study of Microbial Electricity Generation: A Review; Chapter 3: From Tiny Microalgae to Huge Biorefineries; Chapter 4: Yeast Biotechnology: Teaching the Old Dog New Tricks; Chapter 5: Microbial Community Structures Differentiated in a Single-Chamber Air-Cathode Microbial Fuel Cell Fueled with Rice Straw HydrolysateChapter 6: Metataxonomic Profiling and Prediction of Functional Behavior of Wheat Straw Degrading Microbial ConsortiaPart II: Pretreatments; Chapter 7: Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass Using Microorganisms: Approaches, Advantages, and Limitations; Chapter 8: Discovery and Characterization of Ionic Liquid-Tolerant Thermophilic Cellulases from a Switchgrass-Adapted Microbial Community; Chapter 9: Ultrasonic Disintegration of Microalgal Biomass and Consequent Improvement of Bioaccessibility/Bioavailability in Microbial FermentationChapter 10: Rapid and Effective Oxidative Pretreatment of Woody Biomass at Mild Reaction Conditions and Low Oxidant LoadingsPart III: Metabolic Engineering; Chapter 11: Molecular Cloning and Expression of Cellulase and Polygalacturonase Genes in E. coli as a Promising Application for Biofuel Production; Chapter 12: Directed Evolution of an E. coli Inner Membrane Transporter for Improved Efflux of Biofuel Molecules; Chapter 13: Generating Phenotypic Diversity in a Fungal Biocatalyst to Investigate Alcohol Stress Tolerance Encountered during Microbial Cellulosic Biofuel ProductionChapter 14: Genome Replication Engineering Assisted Continuous Evolution (GREACE) to Improve Microbial Tolerance for Biofuels ProductionAuthor NotesThe world needs renewable and clean forms of energy. Biofuels offer an alternative to fossil fuels, but first-generation biofuels had many challenges to be overcome. One strategy that second-generation biofuels are employing is microbial technology.This compendium volume gathers together recent investigations within this vital field of research.
