Socially Responsible Investment : A Global Revolution (Society of Investment Professions)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the past decade, socially responsible investment (SRI) has changed from being a niche market to become a core consideration for mainstream investors. As such, pension fund advisers, trustees of charitable foundations and other investment professionals want to understand this new phenomenon. Up to now they have lacked any reference book to teach them what they need to know about SRI. This gap is now filled by the publication of Socially Responsible Investment : A Global Revolution , the first book on SRI specifically written for investment professionals and their clients. The book will also help business executives and business schools looking at better corporate governance and business ethics. Socially Responsible Investment describes how SRI has moved from fringe to mainstream on both sides of the Atlantic, and its current explosive growth rate in Asia and Europe. The book consists of three parts: Part One traces the historical… [detailed...]

Socially Responsible Investment Law: Regulating the Unseen Polluters

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Environmental harm is commonly associated with companies that extract, consume, and pollute our shared natural resources. Rarely are the `unseen polluters,` the financiers that sponsor and profit from eco-damaging corporations, placed at the forefront of the environmental debate. By focusing on these unseen polluters, Benjamin Richardson provides a comprehensive examination of socially responsible investment (SRI), and offers a guide to possible reform. Richardson proposes that greater regulatory supervision of SRI will help ensure that the financial sector prioritizes ethically-based investments. In Socially Responsible Investment Law, he suggests that new governmental reforms should encourage companies to participate in socially responsible investments by providing a better mix of standards and incentives for SRI through measures that include redefining the fiduciary responsibilities of institutional investors to incorporate environmental concerns. By doing so, Richardson posits… [detailed...]

2009 y.
Publisher: Wiley
Description: A fascinating, research-based look at the impact of social media on businesses and consumers around the world, and what`s in store for the future. Social Media. You`ve heard the term, even if you don`t use the tools. But just how big has social media become? Social media has officially surpassed pornography as the top activity on the Internet. People would rather give up their e-mail than their social network. It is so powerful that it is causing a macro shift in the way we live and conduct business. Brands can now be strengthened or destroyed by the use of social media. Online networking sites are being used as giant, free focus groups. Advertising is less effective at influencing consumers than the opinions of their peers. If you aren`t using social media in your business strategy, you are already behind your competition.

Society and Economy in Egypt and the Levant in the Seventeenth to Nineteenth Centuries: Essays in Honor of Andre Raymond

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In his long academic career, historian AndrA© Raymond has been one of the foremost scholars of urban history in the Arab world, and in particular of Cairo during the Ottoman period. His work was instrumental in changing orientalist views on the decline and stagnation of this region prior to the modern period, and has inspired researchers across the academic spectrum. This diverse collection of studies by leading scholars in Egypt, the United States, and Europe offers a wide selection of recent research in Ottoman-era Egypt and the Middle East, and serves as a fitting tribute to Raymond`s own work. A main theme of this volume is the urban society and economy in Egypt and the eastern Mediteranean of the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, suggesting new ways through which the history of this period can be understood. Topics include a comparison of Egypt`s experiences with Italy`s in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and an investigation of European attitudes toward… [detailed...]

Guy Debord
Society of the Spectacle

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFor the first time, Guy Debord`s pivotal work Society of the Spectacle appears in a definitive and authoritative English translation. Originally published in France in 1967, Society of the Spectacle offered a set of radically new propositions about the nature of contemporary capitalism and modern culture. At the same time it was one of the most influential theoretical works for a wide range of political and revolutionary practice in the 1960s. Today, Debord`s work continues to be in the forefront of debates about the fate of consumer society and the operation of modern social power. In a sweeping revision of Marxist categories, the notion of the spectacle takes the problem of the commodity from the sphere of economics to a point at which the commodity as an image dominates not only economic exchange but the primary communicative and symbolic activity of all modern societies. Guy Debord was one of the most important participants in the… [detailed...]

Socio-economic Evaluation of Indigenous Enterprise Development

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: There is increased awareness of the positive role indigenous enterprise development can play in addressing socio-economic disadvantage in indigenous communities in developed and developing countries. In contrast to much of the literature about forest-based livelihood activities for indigenous people, this work evaluates sustainable production of timber rather than non-timber products. Overall, the research adopts a cost-benefit analysis framework to assess a suite of timber utilization strategies for Wik people on Cape York Peninsula, Australia. A goal programming model is developed to generate and evaluate forestry strategies that satisfy the objectives of Wik people, subject to cultural, property rights, environmental, timber resource, technical and financial constraints. These strategies are then socio-economically evaluated. The book sheds light on culturally appropriate methods of socio-economic analysis in an Australian indigenous context and is written to be accessible to… [detailed...]

Sociobiology of Communication: an interdisciplinary perspective

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Communication is essential for all forms of social interaction, from parental care to mate choice and cooperation. This is evident for human societies but less obvious for bacterial biofilms, ant colonies or flocks of birds. The major disciplines of communication research have tried to identify common core principles, but syntheses have been few because historical barriers have limited interaction between different research fields. Sociobiology of Communication is a timely and novel synthesis. It bridges many of the gaps between proximate and ultimate levels of analysis, between empirical model systems, and between biology and the humanities. The book offers the complementary approaches of a distinguished group of authors spanning a large diversity of research programs, addressing, for example, the genetic basis of bacterial communication, dishonest communication in insect societies, sexual selection and network communication among colonial vertebrates. Other chapters explore the… [detailed...]

Sociocybernetics : Complexity, Autopoiesis, and Observation of Social Systems (Contributions in Sociology)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In an effort to shed light on recent developments in sociocybernetic research, this volume represents recent and advanced thinking in this rapidly developing field. The authors address the core problems in social science caused by increasing societal complexity and analyze the inadequacy of many of the methodological tools still used for grappling with nonlinear, self-organizing systems. Together, the 18 contributors propose elements of a new methodology based on sociocybernetic principles aimed at describing and explaining the growth of societal complexity, the contribution of `autopoiesis` of societal subunits to more societal complexity, and the new simulation-based methodology needed to observe complex social systems. This unique volume contributes to a greater understanding of sociocybernetics and its uses as a method for researching modern problems of increasing complexity and interdependence. [detailed...]

Socioeconomic Aspects of Human Behavioral Ecology, Volume 23 (Research in Economic Anthropology)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAs a field, anthropology brings an explicit evolutionary approach to the study of human behavior. Each of anthropology`s four main subfields - sociocultural, biological, archaeology, and linguistic anthropology--acknowledges that Homo sapiens has a long evolutionary history that must be acknowledged if one is to know what it means to be a human being (What is Anthropology?). The papers in this volume embody the view of anthropology explicit in the above statement. Behavioral ecology explains human behavior through the application of evolutionary theory in ecological context. It focuses on how behavior is influenced by the constraints of reproduction and resources acquisition. As a result, its purview is a wide swath of anthropology, especially economic anthropology. Human behavior varies through the life course, and humans make choices or exhibit behavioral variation depending on the costs, benefits, and constraints of local socioeconomic contexts. Pan-human… [detailed...]
