Acreditación Internacional
Ms all de su valor simblico, la acreditacin, por ser una evaluacin, es una oportunidad para aprender, para derivar lecciones de la experiencia, para detonar procesos de prctica reflexiva. Esto es vlido, tanto para el aprendizaje de los individuos, como para el aprendizaje de los programas y de las instituciones; sea una acreditacin nacional, como internacional. El presente libro persigue ese objetivo. Retomar la experiencia de la acreditacin internacional de programas, tanto como de la gestin y la administracin, para detonar procesos de formacin reflexiva, ya sea por parte de los autores, quienes fueron los operadores locales en la acreditacin de cada uno de los programas; como por parte del personal que particip en la acreditacin central. Se espera que entre los universitarios, el libro tambin despierte un proceso de reflexin sobre el desempeo de la casa de estudios; ser tambin motivo de aprendizaje institucional. La acreditacin internacional no es un evento aislado en la universidad. Es parte integral de un conjunto de esfuerzos institucionales que convergen en el aseguramiento de la calidad, en los que la internacionalizacin juega un papel estratgico.

The Growth of Firms
Research into firm growth has been accumulating at a terrific pace, and Alex Coad s survey of this multifaceted field provides a detailed, comprehensive overview of the latest developments. Much progress has been made in empirical research into firm growth in recent decades due to factors such as the availability of detailed longitudinal datasets, more powerful computers and new econometric techniques. This book provides an up-to-date catalogue of empirical work, as well as a coherent theoretical structure within which these new results can be interpreted and understood. It brings together a large body of recent research on firm growth from a multidisciplinary perspective, providing an up-to-date synthesis of stylized facts and empirical regularities. Numerous empirical findings and theories of firm growth are also surveyed and compared in order to evaluate their validity. Drawing on a vast and diverse body of research, this book will prove invaluable to students, academics, policy makers and practitioners with a need to keep abreast of studies in industrial organization, firm growth and management.
CSR Discovery Leadership
This book argues that separation consciousness has kept a collective demand for corporate social responsibility at bay, even providing justification for business to neglect society. Yet there are signs that separation consciousness is being replaced with the expectation that businesses engage in symbiotic relationships with stakeholders that yield triple bottom line benefits. The potential for business to enact this social contract depends largely on the ability of top executives to discover how to activate the organizational values that make such benefits possible. The author argues that the required mind-set for this task bears a strong resemblance to the scientific discovery mentality, and that if executives were to embed this mentality in organizational decision making, shared consciousness between firms and stakeholders of the values that support corporate responsibility is feasible. CSR Discovery Leadership examines this prospect of shared value consciousness, a new frontier for CSR leadership.
Consumption and Well-Being in the Material World
This volume addresses how we can find happiness and well-being in the material world. It builds on previous works that find that materialism is associated with lowered well-being (materialists are less happy) and that consumerism, in all its profusion, is harmful to environmental well-being. How can we use the money and possessions in our lives in the service of well-being? Apparently not by being materialistic. Can we benefit from the many wonders of the marketplace -- in technology, convenience and aesthetics -- without falling prey to the lures and dangers of excessive material preoccupation? Can we meet our material needs in ways that nourish growth and well-being? The authors of the cha...
