ISBN: 9783639076127 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This argument is made based on critiquing and interpreting economic and gerontology theories, presenting empirical data and analyses, and a case study. This book connects the uniqueness of the "Knowledge Economy" with the crises that an aging population is predicted to bring about. It also points out the valuable qualities of seniors. Built on theories, empirical data, and case study, this...

This Masters Degree Project (MDP) looked at ways that Calgarys City Council and downtown planning team could foster an increase in market-rate housing development in the Citys central business district (CBD). The policy objectives were two fold: to increase the vitality of the lifeless downtown core after business hours, and to decrease some of the pressure on suburban development leading towards a more sustainable city.

Penny Wise, Pound Foolish
ISBN: 9783639065534 / Angielski / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Deinstitutionalization from mental hospitals has been with us for over fifty years now in Australia and the United States of America. Growing expenses in keeping mental institutions open made ideas of community care attractive to the Governments footing the bills for the mental institutions. However, funding for appropriate levels of community support were never forthcoming. Costs have fallen instead on people with mental illness, on their families and carers, and on other institutions such as homeless shelters and jails. The costs have wound up being heavier than the savings.

Interviews with owners and their family workers at seventy Korean-owned small businesses in three service and retail industries were conducted and supplemented by ethnographic observations, the 1990 Census, and interviews with informers.

ISBN: 9783639136326 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Human capital has become a central theme in policies directed at promoting regional economic development.

Whilst the...

Color Strategy
ISBN: 9783639099614 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While color is the focus of many books, studies and inquiries, only few attempt to understand how to leverage color as a strategic lever. This research examined the role color plays in product or brand development, as well as, the practices and procedures organizations employ to effectively devise and execute a strategy to leverage color. It presupposed that consumers have strong emotional associations to color that are leverageable by firms. It therefore explored how color professionals perceive consumers' reaction to color in products and brands so as to uncover how emotions can be tapped...

Population Ageing, Dependency and Overeducation
ISBN: 9783639147919 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book analyzes the problem of population ageing
in terms of the cessation of professional activity (and especially premature labour market withdrawals) and non-medical care needs of persons who are dependent or have lost their autonomy, in order to provide the various public and private administrations active in these fields with some food for thought. One of my concerns is to examine the factors liable to explain early exits from the labour market by positing that labour demand may have an impact on decisions to stop work early. The chapter on Overeducation is devoted to... This book analyzes the problem of population ageing

The Power to Change Liberalizing Electricity in the European Union
ISBN: 9783639104561 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of deregulation in general, and that of the liberalization of the electric power sector in particular, is rich in paradoxes. This book examines the European electricity industries and shows that the liberalization of this sector did not conform to the traditional theoretical explanations that privilege economic interests and industry-specific considerations as the motors for regulatory reform. Instead, the primary impetus for change came from an overarching commitment to certain neo-liberal ideas shared by European intellectual and political elites. As a fundamentally idea-driven...

Continuity and Change Institutions and Transition in the Russian Forest Sector
ISBN: 9783639099591 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For reasons having to do with the Soviet resource allocation model, many Russian forest sector enterprises were miserably unfit to meet the market competition that started to emerge after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. To avoid bankruptcy and stay alive in Russias transition towards a market-like system many enterprises chose to engage in non-monetary transactions, thus establishing what has become known as Russias virtual economy. The peculiar institutions ("rules-in-use") guiding actors behaviour in this odd system are incompatible with the operation of efficient...

Dimensions of Earnings Inequality in the Labour Market
ISBN: 9783639104721 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last three decades, Australia and other industrialised nations experienced major social and economic change. In Australia, two of these major developments have been increasing inequality of earnings and the growth in alternative forms of employment arrangements. In the case of the US and a number of other countries, the prevailing explanation for the increase in inequality centres on the notion of skill-biased technological change (SBTC). This explanation relates the in-creases in earnings inequalities to a shift in demand towards highly skilled workers and away from less skilled...

Representation of Green Consumerism
ISBN: 9783639102710 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Global warming has recently been pinpointed as an urgent challenge for environmental policy-makers and social marketers all over the world. In much of the academic literature on the topic, problems and solutions are conceptualized and framed in terms of individual choice. Ecologically minded green consumers are expected to function as a powerful market force, pushing society toward sustainable development.
This book problematizes such individualistic ideas and sets out to rethink social marketing as a scholarly project. It argues that the ways in which consumers and consumption-related social...

The first essay investigates the growth effects of financial opening, using cross-country regressions and a new measure for capital account openness.

There is no evidence that capital account liberalization promotes long-term growth and made the Korean financial market in the 1990s.

White-Collar Crime and Punishment - Corporate Codes and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
ISBN: 9783639078572 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reflecting public outrage over massive corporate scandals, Congress quickly enacted comprehensive business reform measures known as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). While the business community focused on SOX's reporting and control requirements, often over- looked were SOX's harsh punishments imposed for white-collar crime. Congress rejected the long- practiced approach of lenient treatment of the perpetrators of occupational crimes, opting for the concept that severe penalties can effectively deter criminal behavior. Despite federal regulations that now require organizations to develop and...

the workplace, but how do they know what the "right" thing to do is? A managers world is more complicated than choosing between "doing well" and "doing good."

Within discourse theory, language is seen constitutive... Ethical problems continually confront managers in
