We are now in the middle of the Fourth Industrial Revolution; an unprecedented development in technology and society, driven by social, political and economic demands. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is affecting business, but also has social consequences, as can be seen in the present and evolving patterns of economic activity. In turn, these consequences influence and create crucial and central issues regarding value, sustainability, security and assurance - aspects required and demanded by all areas of society. Based on work assessing the US and UK business sectors, including research conducted at the UCL in conjunction with such diverse organisations as the Bank of England, Google, Facebook and the Antwerp Diamond Exchange, this book addresses the key issues and challenges involved in integrating real and virtual environments. In addition, it uses case studies to illustrate the academic theory, blending industry and scholarly literature. Written by an expert in his field, this book delivers a realistic, practical and academically sound foundation for business, management and organisation studies, while also providing an interdisciplinary view on a transforming society, incorporating technology, IT, economics and sociology. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aManagement 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aTechnological innovations 606 $aManagement 606 $aBusiness Ethics 606 $aInnovation and Technology Management 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aTechnological innovations. 615 14$aManagement. 615 24$aBusiness Ethics. 615 24$aInnovation and Technology Management. 676 $a306 676 $a650 700 $aPettinger$b Richard$0116931 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427044703321 996 $aThe socio-economic foundations of sustainable business$92268992 997 $aUNINA
