Environmental sustainability and climate change implications in the mountain ecosystems in general and mountainous regions of the Global South in particular are key concerns of the present-day world. In particular, the mountainous regions in the Global South are excessively being subjected to haphazard developmental activities making them vulnerable to all possible aspects of climate change. Ecologically fragile and biodiversity-rich (considered ?hotspot? of biodiversity) Himalayan Region (HR) is subjected to high vulnerability due to climate change and unsustainable developmental activities. A major portion of the Indian HR, for instance, has gradually been endangered by intense environmental burden owing to rapid and haphazard urbanization, extreme weather events, etc. Unfortunately, environmental sustainability studies in many parts of the region arestill inadequate. Accordingly, in this book, the authors provide a detailed account of the Himalayas in the epoch of Anthropocene??the most recent period in Earth?s history when human activity started to have a significant impact on the planet?s climate and ecosystems" (as defined by the National Geographic Society). It is no secret that the haphazard developmental activities in the Himalayas are having tremendous impacts on the local ecosystems. Many of such impacts are irreversible over the next hundreds of years and it should ring an alarm to all of us alike. Therefore, it becomes increasingly imperative that we document the existing anthropogenic challenges in the Himalayas, analyse them and find a way where environment and development can go hand in hand. This book is an attempt in that direction. The authors aim to address issues ranging from unorganized tourism practices to the big dams in the Himalayas and from mining and quarrying activities to climate change implications andsustainable development goals (SDGs). . 606 $aSustainability 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aBioclimatology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aSustainability 606 $aEcosystems 606 $aClimate Change Ecology 606 $aEnvironmental Management 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 0$aBioclimatology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aSustainability. 615 24$aEcosystems. 615 24$aClimate Change Ecology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a304.2 700 $aBorthakur$b Anwesha$01726214 701 $aSingh$b Pardeep$01315577 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838287303321 996 $aThe Himalayas in the Anthropocene$94132123 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04510nam 22008775 450 001 9910298492503321 005 20250609110128.0 010 $a3-319-16336-1 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-16336-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000000403973 035 $a(EBL)2095869 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001500728 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11894613 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001500728 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11522913 035 $a(PQKB)10785914 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-16336-9 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2095869 035 $a(PPN)185488005 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3110071 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000403973 100 $a20150429d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFrugal Innovation in Healthcare $eHow Targeting Low-Income Markets Leads to Disruptive Innovation /$fby Aditi Ramdorai, Cornelius Herstatt 205 $a1st ed. 2015. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (178 p.) 225 1 $aIndia Studies in Business and Economics,$x2198-0012 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a3-319-16335-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aIntroduction -- Bottom of the Pyramid Concept: Taking Stock -- Disruptive Innovations Theory -- Methodology and Research Process -- Study 1: BOP as a Source for Disruptive Innovations -- Study 2: Lessons from GE Healthcare: How Incumbents Can Systematically Create Disruptive Innovations -- Study 3: Lessons from Tata: How Leadership Can Drive Disruptive Innovations -- Addendum: Linking Paradox Resolution and Disruptive Innovations for the Bottom of the Pyramid Markets -- Discussion of Findings and Conclusion -- Appendix. 330 $aThis book focuses on how companies are innovating with regard to the Bottom-of-the-Pyramid (BOP) ? the lowest socio-economic segment, and the organizational conditions they need to be successful. The authors use several examples of disruptive innovations for this market, particularly in the Indian healthcare sector. Low-cost, specialty hospital chains like Aravind Eye Care and Narayana Hrudayalaya have brought down the cost of certain medical procedures significantly. The Indian conglomerate Tata Group and the American healthcare giant GE Healthcare have also developed affordable products targeted at the lowest-income segments in India. The authors present an in-depth analysis of these companies and present their insightful results on disruptive innovation and the ever-challenging BOP market. 410 0$aIndia Studies in Business and Economics,$x2198-0012 606 $aHealth services administration 606 $aHealth services administration 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aMarkets 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aHealth Care Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527030 606 $aHealth Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W35000 606 $aEmerging Markets/Globalization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/525010 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 615 0$aHealth services administration. 615 0$aHealth services administration. 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aMarkets. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aHealth Care Management. 615 24$aHealth Economics. 615 24$aEmerging Markets/Globalization. 615 24$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 676 $a330 676 $a338.473621 676 $a36.210.681 676 $a361 676 $a381 676 $a658514 700 $aRamdorai$b Aditi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064998 702 $aHerstatt$b Cornelius$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298492503321 996 $aFrugal Innovation in Healthcare$92542198 997 $aUNINA
