Wise Practices
This volume explores the relationship between Indigenous self-determination - specifically practices of law and governance - and Indigenous social and economic development.
Engraved on Our Nations
A testimony to Indigenous resilience in business Despite investments in nation building, self-autonomy, and cultural resurgence, Indigenous economic development has remained an underexplored and underestimated area of research. Engraved on Our Nations overturns the discouraging deficit perspective too common in policy and academia and amplifies the largely undocumented history of successful Indigenous economic activity in Canada. Following David Newhouse’s overview of Indigenous economic history, the authors of this collection illustrate how First Nation and Métis individuals and communities have met and overcome an array of challenges. Case studies focus on First Nations from Membertou (...
Cutting-edge Social Media Approaches to Business Education
Our current students are digital natives, born into a world of widespread online sharing. Aligning the technologies we use in our courses with their skills and approaches to collaborative learning is an opportunity we should take. The new media share text, images, audio and video material rapidly and interactively. This volume will provide an overview of these new social media including Skype, YouTube, Flickr, blogging, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. Examples and cases of how instructors around the world are meaningfully incorporating them into their management, marketing, and other business courses are provided. One of the more robust trends is the use of three-dimensional immersive virtu...
The Venture Capital Deformation
In spite of the robust development of venture capital that has occurred over the last three decades, returns from venture capital have been declining. This book focuses on a simple question: why? The answer lies in the context of multiple deformations that have occurred throughout the venture capital process. The book critically assesses the ways in which interactions between different stakeholders in the venture capital ecosystem change (or "deform") venture capital, decreasing its value. Klonowski also reveals that venture capital actually has few benefits—and some outright disadvantages—for entrepreneurs, and it can create a self-perpetuating cycle of investment and loss for the entire venture capital industry. This is especially true as corporate governance and compensation structures may create significant misalignments, incongruities, and conflicts of interest between general and limited partners.
Wise Practices
Indigenous peoples in Canada are striving for greater economic prosperity and political self-determination. Investigating specific legal, economic, and political practices, and including research from interviews with Indigenous political and business leaders, this collection seeks to provide insights grounded in lived experience. Covering such critical topics as economic justice and self-determination, and the barriers faced in pursuing each, Wise Practices sets out to understand the issues not in terms of sweeping empirical findings but through particular experiences of individuals and communities. The choice to focus on specific practices of law and governance is a conscious rejection of i...
Investororientierte Businesspläne: Zusammenstellung einer Toolbox
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Setting oneself on a predetermined course in unknown waters is the perfect way to sail straight into an iceberg. (Mintzberg 1987, S.26) Aus diesem Zitat von Mintzberg geht die Wichtigkeit der Auseinandersetzung mit der Zukunft und der Umwelt hervor, was sich auf sämtliche wirtschaftliche Einheiten und Stufen der Unternehmensentwicklung übertragen lässt. Auch das Verfassen von Businessplänen ermöglicht die intellektuelle und gedankliche Vorwegnahme der neuen Unternehmung und stellt daher die Grundlage für die Realisierung und den Erfolg einer Geschäftsidee dar (vgl. Baker 1993, S.88). Doch nicht nur durch die intensive Auseinandersetzung mit der Zukunft, der U...
