In this new book, Hara, Kambayashi and Matsushima gather together a collection of case studies of innovation in various industries in modern Japan, including automobile, electronics, semiconductor, component, chemical, pharmaceutical and service industries. Unlike other books in this area, this book focuses on a broader range of Japanese indus
The book systematizes the materiality concept, which has been fragmented in various fields of business administration and sometimes identified with interpretive postmodern business administration, along with the meta-theories discussed in the humanities and social sciences that aim to overcome humanistic dualism. This book is devoted to developing the concept of materiality as the theoretical frontier that has not been fully addressed in management studies, ranging from daily work practices in office spaces to the manualization of high-tech aircraft maintenance, to quantified personnel evaluations and fuel efficiency standards, to innovation using advanced scientific equipment.

Management of Marine Plastic Debris gives a thorough and detailed presentation of the global problem of marine plastics debris, covering every aspect of its management from tracking, collecting, treating and commercial exploitation for handing this anthropogenic waste.

Comment faire face à la crise que nous traversons ? Le système capitaliste néo-libéral fondé sur la seule recherche du profit ne fera que renforcer la concentration des richesses, aggraver les inégalités et détruire chaque jour un peu plus notre écosystème. Contre le statu quo, un collectif de femmes, chercheuses en sciences sociales issues de tous horizons, appelle à un nouveau partage du pouvoir au sein des entreprises, condition d’une véritable transition écologique. Elles sont les auteures du Manifeste Travail, déjà traduit en 27 langues et qui est devenu en quelques semaines l’amorce d’un mouvement mondial. Leur projet ? Démocratiser l’entreprise, pour permettre ...
Come possiamo affrontare la crisi globale e multidimensionale che stiamo attraversando? Il sistema capitalista neoliberista basato sulla sola ricerca del profitto non farà che rafforzare la concentrazione della ricchezza, aggravare le disuguaglianze e devastare il nostro ecosistema. Contro lo status quo, un collettivo di illustri scienziate sociali si è mobilitato per farsi non solo agitatore ma anche innovatore e orchestratore del cambiamento necessario, richiamando tutto il mondo accademico a offrire il proprio contributo. Il progetto del Manifesto del lavoro, che si concentra nella formula “democratizzare (le aziende), demercificare (il lavoro) e disinquinare (il pianeta)”, declina questi imperativi di volta in volta da punti di vista sociali e culturali diversi, per una definizione il più possibile completa e inclusiva del piano d’azione. In un’epoca in cui pandemie, eccessi populisti e sconvolgimenti climatici sono minacce ogni giorno più concrete, il Manifesto del lavoro segna la strada per agire collettivamente e riportare equilibrio, giustizia e rispetto ovunque e per tutte e tutti.
