Theory and practice : results from the organisational projects."HOW SUSTAINABLE IS INNOVATION? Problematically, most contemporary patterns of innovation in human social systems and organisations are not sustainable. This prevents people from learning effectively, from recognising and solving their problems, and from operating in sustainable ways. It is arguably why societies, businesses and industries around the world are so unsustainable.? Sustainable innovation is a pattern of social learning and problem-solving that is, itself, sustainable. The sustainability of innovation, moreover, is linked to the sustainability of its outcomes, which manifest themselves in what people produce and do in the world. Sustainable innovation, then, is a necessary precondition for sustainability in how societies and organisations function - the ways they organise, the products and services they make, the energy and resources they use, and the wastes they produce.? As challenges such as demographic pressures, ethnic tensions, terrorism, global poverty, pandemics and abrupt climate change force their way into mainstream politics and business, so we see growing interest in innovation, entrepreneurial solutions and, critically, issues such as how to ensure successful solutions replicate and scale. Sustainable Innovation aims to illustrate that shift. Instead of simply focusing on environmental and technological matters, it views and evaluates innovation-for-sustainability in terms of the human, social and management challenges and responses.? It argues that a just, efficient and sustainable balancing of these elements is best achieved by the development of new knowledge, and by the evolution of better means both of embedding that emerging knowledge in organisations and institutions, and of managing the relevant flows of information, knowledge and wisdom. The book stresses that claims that a particular product, production process or service are sustainable usually assume that an appropriate balance has been achieved between people, planet and profit. However, calculating the sustainability of such things, let alone of complex systems such as enterprises or economies, can be impossible. Instead of "sustainability", the book favours the use of terms such as "making sustainable", emphasising that in dynamic operating environments organisational processes are changing constantly, whether or not they are under effective strategic control by management. Innovation, too, is dynamic by definition. Sustainable Innovation argues that there must be a constant focus on the triple bottom line of economic, social and environmental value creation during the innovation process.? Sustainable innovation is a new challenge for organisations. It is a process that should permeate the whole organisation, in terms of its members, its tasks, its coordination mechanisms and its procedures. Waste or pollution should not be seen as the reason for further intervention downstream, but as an end-of-the-pipe effect, which could be organisationally cured upstream. Developed from the Dutch research programme "Knowledge Creation for Sustainable Innovation", this book presents empirical research and cases to develop a theory of sustainable innovation that is based on management of knowledge, knowledge and cognition and innovation approaches.? Sustainable Innovation suggests that knowledge and innovation will be the key drivers of social and corporate sustainability in the years ahead. It will be essential reading for managers and researchers in areas such as sustainability, innovation, knowledge management and organisational learning."--Provided by publisher.Sustainable developmentTechnological innovationsTechnological innovationsOrganizational changeKnowledge managementElectronic books.Sustainable developmentTechnological innovations.Technological innovations.Organizational change.Knowledge management.658.575Jorna Ren925055FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910452936003321Sustainable Innovation2076215UNINA02111nam 2200409Ia 450 99639414390331620200824121718.0(CKB)4940000000114952(EEBO)2240930885(UnM)99896857e(UnM)99896857(EXLCZ)99494000000011495219981221d1686 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|De morbis fœmineis, The womans counsellour: or, The feminine physitian, enlarged[electronic resource] Modestly treating of such occult accidents, and secret diseases, as are incident to that sex, which their too much modesty, too often to their sorrow, causes them to conceal.

Our system exists by choice, not the dictates of immutable economic laws; and it is leading the U.S. to financial collapse. The author highlights essentially ignored inequities and fallacies inherent in major aspects of our economy and of economic theory. The text explains how the system is skewed to big government and a dominant financial sector and undermining our standard of living.Debts, Public -- United StatesMonetary policy -- United StatesUnited States -- Economic conditions -- 21st centuryUnited States -- Foreign relations -- 21st centuryUnited States -- Social conditions -- 21st centuryDebts, PublicUnited StatesMonetary policyUnited StatesUnited StatesEconomic conditions21st centuryUnited StatesSocial conditions21st centuryUnited StatesForeign relations21st centuryDebts, Public -- United States.Monetary policy -- United States.United States -- Economic conditions -- 21st century.United States -- Foreign relations -- 21st century.United States -- Social conditions -- 21st century.Debts, PublicMonetary policy330.973330.973Jennings James L1658802AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910808084203321A More Imperfect Union4013067UNINA
