Social Enterprise in China State-Third Sector Relations and Institutional Effectiveness

Social Enterprise in China State-Third Sector Relations and Institutional Effectiveness

Wang offers an empirically based exploration into work-integration social enterprises as a means for delivering social services in China. Focusing on the political economy of social enterprise development in China Wang examines the nature of the relationship between the state and social enterprises and the implications of such relationships for their institutional effectiveness. She adopts a bottom-up approach that investigates indigenous practices embedded within the local political context. Common ground has been established internationally that the social enterprise model provides new ways of social service delivery that could potentially change and restructure the social welfare economy. However the development path differs across social contexts especially in an authoritarian country like China. This study provides insights into China's efforts to develop its social welfare sector and reinvigorate customary ideas about how public services could be better offered given the country's political economy. This book will be of great interest to both scholars of China’s political economy and those with an interest in the development of the social enterprise sector looking to see how this works in a Chinese context. | Social Enterprise in China State-Third Sector Relations and Institutional Effectiveness

The Theory of Business Enterprise

The Theory of Business Enterprise

Veblen has been claimed and rejected both by sociologists and economists as being one of theirs. He enriched and attacked both disciplines as he did so many others: philosophy history social psychology politics and linguistics. Because he took all knowledge as necessary and relevant to adequate understanding Veblen was a holistic analyst of the social process. First published in 1904 this classic analysis of the U. S. economy has enduring value today. In it Veblen posited a theory of business fluctuations and economic growth which included chronic depression and inflation. He predicted the socioeconomic changes that would occur as a result: militarism imperialism fascism consumerism and the development of the mass media as well as the corporate bureaucracy. Douglas Dowd's introduction places the volume within the traditions of both macroeconomics and microeconomics tracing Veblen's place among social thinkers and the place of this volume in the body of his work. | The Theory of Business Enterprise

Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

While the number of publications on corporate social responsibility has skyrocketed since the last economic crisis that began in 2008 challenges still remain in the modern economy that make socially responsible business a leading topic both in the field of science and business practice. The concept of corporate social responsibility covers not only practices implemented by enterprises but also attitudes represented by consumers and other market entities. Though much has been written about corporate social responsibility and the potential benefits it offers businesses there remains a misunderstanding of corporate social responsibility (CSR) responsible management (RM) and responsible consumption (RC). Examining the level of responsible management practices implemented by Polish enterprises and assessing consumer attitudes in the field of corporate social responsibility will serve to identify best business practices and enhance management theory. Because this research examines both sides of the market companies and consumers it offers a more holistic view on social responsibility responsible management and responsible consumer behaviour. The contribution of this book is the development of the assessment tool for measuring social responsibility of every enterprise – Enterprise Social Responsibility Index (EnSRI) and Consumer Social Responsibility Index (CnSRI). This book is written to meet the needs of academics students company owners and managers. It also provides an integrated view of responsibility from the point of view of both enterprises and consumers. | Responsible Management and Sustainable Consumption Creating a Consumer and Enterprise Social Responsibility Index

Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions

Enterprise Architecture for Strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions

The popularity of enterprise architecture (EA) has increased in the last two decades in both business and academic domains. Despite the cumulative interest from all sectors the implementation and practice of EA have been entangled with numerous challenges and complexities. Consequently some organisations continue to theorise the concept which has ramifications on practice and ROI. This has led to many studies that have been conducted to understand the complexities impacting the implementation and practice of EA in organisations. Yet the trajectory of some convolutions remain a mystery in many quarters. This attributes to the struggle to articulate the value of EA in many environments. Hence many organisations find it difficult to apply EA for strategic management of modern information technology (IT) solutions. Enterprise Architecture for strategic Management of Modern IT Solutions provides guidance on how to employ EA in deploying and managing IT solutions from pragmatic and implementable perspectives. Until now implementation and practice of EA have been slow despite its growing popularity and interest from all sectors. This book employs sociotechnical theories such as actor-network theory (ANT) and structuration theory (ST) as lenses to examine and explain why and how challenges and complexities exist and derail the implementation or practice of EA in organisations. This serves to enable practitioners and readers to gain fresh insights on why the challenges exist and how they can be addressed in creating collaborative capabilities for business enhancement sustainability and competitiveness. The book provides detailed insights on how to apply EA for organisational purposes from three main fronts. First it explains the implications that lack of understanding of EA have on organisational activities and processes. Second it examines the challenges and complexities that hinder the implementation and practice of EA in organisations. Third it proposes models and frameworks on how EA can be applied for strategic management of modern IT solutions in organisations.

The Determinants of Small Firm Growth An Inter-Regional Study in the United Kingdom 1986-90

Focusing on the issues of enterprise development and the regional dimensions of small-firm growth this book explores the literature of this area.

First published in 1993. Latin America is undergoing a process of profound economic and social change. The industrial import substitution that continued for several decades was quantitatively successful in terms of industrialization but - like inward-oriented industrialization in the socialist countries - failed to raise the economies of the region to international productivity levels. The attempt at catch-up industrialization outside the reference frame of the world market led to economic stagnation social crises serious environmental degradation and the obstruction of social development. The following papers included in this book show that the development of competitive advantages is initially determined by the new macro policy and by modernization at enterprise level. | International Competitiveness in Latin America and East Asia

Political Economy of Agricultural Development in India

Political Economy of Agricultural Development in India

The book covers Indian agricultural development from the colonial to the present period. It examines how ruling class political ideology determined the agricultural policies from colonial rule. It considers both quantitative and qualitative aspects in all periods: colonial period to pre-green revolution phase post-green revolution phase (early and late stages) and post-globalisation phase after 1991. India has achieved the ability to maintain food security through enough food grain buffer stocks to meet the enormous public distribution system. But with India’s entry into WTO in 1994 euphoria has been created among all types of farmers to adopt commercial crops like cotton cost-intensive inputs. Even food grain crops are grown through use of costly irrigation and chemicalised inputs. But they lacked remunerative prices and so farmers began to commit suicides which crossed 3. 5 lakh. Government of India attributed this agrarian crisis to the technology fatigue and gave scope for second green revolution (GR-II). GR-I was achieved by public sector enterprise whereas the GR-II as gene revolution is a result of private sector enterprise/MNCs. There is fear that opening up of the sector may lead to handover of the family farms to big agri-multinationals. GOI’s proposal to double farmers’ income by 2022 is feasible only when the problems being faced by small marginal and tenant farmers are addressed in agricultural marketing credit and extension services. Now it is time to go for suitable forms of cooperative/collective agriculture as 85 percent of total cultivators are the small and marginal farmers.

The book then proceeds to explore with care and context the nature of the relationship between patients and clinicians health care providers and the societies in which they inhabit and finally the relationship between the health care enterprise and the international community. By emphasizing the ethical issues that arise in the broad quest to foster human health and appreciating that health is not primarily a function of medical interventions Ethical Health Care introduces students to problems such as the international distribution of pharmaceuticals and the dangers of reemerging infections. To a far greater extent than is done traditionally Ethical Health Care provides an interdisciplinary perspective to bioethics relying heavily upon the teachings of economics law and public health.
