New Economy Now
Issue of Rodin Genoff & Associates Industry Intelligence, Issue 3; articles on the Circular Economy; featuring Schneider Electric, Narelle Hooper & Maria Atkinson
Constructing Swedish Sovereignty
Constructing Swedish Sovereignty demonstrates how Rodin Genoff is able to create high trust and highly interconnected industrial ecosystems that are integral to building successful new economies of the future. The book details how he orchestrated the creation of 3 Swedish firsts, including Sweden's first certified carbon neutral residential home. The book also details how he mapped North Middle Sweden's bioeconomy using advanced data analytics and spatial mapping tools and technology developed by his company. This included auditing a company's propensity to navigate the new economy by understanding its ability to be open, collaborative, embrace diversity and transition to the worlds of Industry 4.0 and Circular Economy. Industry intelligence generated though this project was employed to create new collaborative joint ventures between companies. For example, such intentional collaboration was employed to create a new surface treatment plant. The book is being launched in Swedish Parliament.

The Five Literacies of Global Leadership
New research has exposed our leadership paradigm as a outdated mess of flawed models and practices. By working with great leaders and observing their common attitudes and behaviours, Richard Hames has cracked a universal code based on intelligence, appreciation and collaboration. This code unlocks Five Literacies of Global Leadership. These behaviours are the trade secrets of the artists and alchemists among us. Often instinctively, these leaders charge others with energy, search for new perspectives and embrace diversity. And they are driven by dialogue. This book reveals approaches and attitudes that they all share - and that can make anyone an exceptional leader.
Advanced Introduction to the Creative City
Written by the leading authority Charles Landry, inventor of the concept of the creative city, this timely book offers an insightful and engaging introduction to the field.

Other key topics of this definitive work include ambition and creativity, cities and psychology, digitization and the creative bureaucracy.
Enhancing Entrepreneurial Mindsets Through STEM Education
Entrepreneurship is defined in different fields with definitions ranging from a specific perspective such as starting a business to a broader perspective such as a process of establishing new social, economic, environmental, institutional, cultural and/or scientific environments. There has been some movement toward entrepreneurship in STEM education through hackathons and makerspaces, but they tend to be limited to informal settings. In higher education, there seems to be a border line between business schools and education departments. This book aims to remove the borders between the Business Schools and the Department of Education and help Business Schools to develop their educational practices further and help Education Departments to develop their knowledge of entrepreneurship from its formal discipline. The purpose of this book is to bring together experts from STEM education and the formal discipline of entrepreneurship to explore the role of STEM in everyday life through an entrepreneurial lens and show how this integration can broaden STEM education practices.
The Art of City Making
City-making is an art, not a formula. The skills required to re-enchant the city are far wider than the conventional ones like architecture, engineering and land-use planning. There is no simplistic, ten-point plan, but strong principles can help send good city-making on its way. The vision for 21st century cities must be to be the most imaginative cities for the world rather than in the world. This one change of word - from 'in' to 'for' - gives city-making an ethical foundation and value base. It helps cities become places of solidarity where the relations between the individual, the group, outsiders to the city and the planet are in better alignment. Following the widespread success of The Creative City, this new book, aided by international case studies, explains how to reassess urban potential so that cities can strengthen their identity and adapt to the changing global terms of trade and mass migration. It explores the deeper fault-lines, paradoxes and strategic dilemmas that make creating the 'good city' so difficult.
Value Chain Clustering in Regional Publishing Services Markets
Clustering is a process whereby enterprises within a shared value chain cooperatively manage the flow of goods and services from the point of origination to the point of consumption. This volume focuses on the notion of the regional cluster as a tool for value chain management and then discusses specific issues.
Community and Local Governance in Australia
This book examines the resurgence in Australia of locality-based social policy (concerned with the spatial dimensions of disadvantage), after the political failures of the market oriented approach to regional reform. The book proposes that these trends are leading to a new 'post-competition' policy regime in Australia that mirrors global policy trends.
