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.Just sustainabilities.Sustainable developmentSocial aspectsEconomicsSociological aspectsEconomic developmentSocial aspectsSolidarityEconomic aspectsSocial changeCooperative societiesCooperative societiesCase studiesDevelopment studiesbicsscSustainable developmentSocial aspects.EconomicsSociological aspects.Economic developmentSocial aspects.SolidarityEconomic aspects.Social change.Cooperative societies.Cooperative societiesDevelopment studies338.927Laville Jean-Louis121475Utting PeterUnited Nations Research Institute for Social Development.NCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910788300903321Social and Solidarity Economy3690297UNINA03926nam 2200625 450 991082858040332120230125194715.01-63157-277-6(CKB)3710000000486377(OCoLC)930531045(CaBNVSL)swl00405840(MiAaPQ)EBC4009428(CaSebORM)9781631572777(EXLCZ)99371000000048637720151125d2016 fy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierAll services, all the time how business services serve your business /Doug McDavidFirst edition.New York, New York (222 East 46th Street, New York, NY 10017) :Business Expert Press,2016.1 online resource (xiv, 183 pages)Service systems and innovations in business and society collection,2326-26991-63157-276-8 Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-178) and index.Part I.

Conclusions -- References -- Index.This book takes the position that organizations, such as businesses and government agencies, form a special class of living system. As such they come into being, live through lifecycle stages, and can experience organizational health and various forms of organizational illness along the way. If the latter is frequent or extended, such organizations often die an untimely death. A services perspective can go a long way to combat this outcome and assist in maintaining organizational health. Allowing this perspective to permeate an organization induces a consideration of its genuine value and leads to a greater understanding of the breadth of stakeholders who are the beneficiaries of it. Productivity and services in an organization are symbiotic and must be so in order to achieve the balance that is key to the health of each organization. A services perspective illuminates as well the pivotal role that business-to-business service providers play in ensuring that balance is achieved and maintained. This book explores these factors from the point of view of the business leader and anyone concerned with the health of any organization.Service systems and innovations in business and society collection.2326-2699Organizational resilienceIndustrial managementCorporate cultureB2B servicesbusiness culturebusiness diagnosticsbusiness healthbusiness languagebusiness leadersliving enterpriseorganization leadersservice innovationservicesOrganizational resilience.Industrial management.Corporate culture.302.35McDavid Doug.1667535MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828580403321All services, all the time4027435UNINA
