Social entrepreneurship is construed an innovative activity that
addresses or mitigates social issues based on self-sufficiency and
financial stability. It offers the potential to shift civil society
through innovative social ventures that pursue profit and purpose.
It is gaining international attention due to the intent of social
entrepreneurs to change and to see the world as it can be, not as
it is. These changemakers blend lessons from business with the
diversity and complexity of social values and in the process pursue
opportunities for change. International Perspectives on Value
Creation and Sustainability Through Social Entrepreneurship
explores various issues and ideas about social entrepreneurship
through the lens of theoretical, practical, and empirical research.
It provides an international outlook of social entrepreneurship,
focusing primarily on value creation and sustainability. Covering
topics such as entrepreneurship education, post-COVID perspectives,
and private wealth, this premier reference source is an essential
resource for entrepreneurs, business leaders, managers, government
officials, policymakers, libraries, students and faculty of higher
education, researchers, and academicians.
The internet of things (IoT) has already proven its worth in fields
such as health, education, and urban transportation. Given the
rapid advancement of IoT along with artificial intelligence (AI)
and machine learning in recent years, it is believed that new age
technology will dramatically alter the way we live and work. One of
the areas where this paradigm may stand out in the future is the
domain of corporate diversity and inclusion. By modelling
intelligent behavior, IoT may detect possible bias and prejudice in
decision making, possibly eliminating patterns and biases that
hamper company capacity to recruit diversely and inclusively.
Promoting Inclusivity and Diversity Through Internet of Things in
Organizational Settings provides relevant theoretical frameworks
and the latest empirical research findings in the area. It examines
the empirical evidence on corporations and how IoT is being used to
create inclusiveness and diversity through electronic means.
Covering topics on occupational stress, digital transformation, and
digital diversification, this premier reference source is an
essential resource for business executives and leaders, human
resource managers, IT managers, social workers, sociologists,
researchers, and academicians.
For Profit and For Good opens up for critical examination a sector
of higher education that surprisingly is rarely scrutinized in
depth: the corporate institutions that have made up the fastest
growing sector of US higher education in this century. It explores
in detail the development of one such institution, Walden
University, from its emergence out of the social turmoil and
progressive education movement of the 1960s, through the succeeding
decades, characterized by changes on every front. It looks frankly
at the impact of these forces on the university's original mission
and describes the university's response to them. It investigates
the idea of whether the resources and incentives of being
for-profit have changed higher education in a way that benefits not
only investors but also learners, their workplaces, and the larger
community. Business models of management, technological
developments, and changes in an ever-evolving society are issues
every university faces and seeing how this institution grappled
with them will be instructive. Fundamentally, this book addresses
the essential ethical question of whether the for-profit sector in
higher education adds value, and, if so, what that added value
might be. This book will be of interest to researchers and students
of the history of education, alternatives in higher education, the
economics of education, education administration, reform and new
developments in higher education, online learning, and policy
studies in education. It is also relevant for policy makers and
other managers in edubusiness.
Established by New York stockbroker Juan Trippe in 1927, the story
of Pan Am is the story of US-led globalisation and imperial
expansion in the twentieth century, with the airline achieving the
vast majority of ‘firsts’ in aviation history, pioneering
transoceanic travel and new technologies, and all but creating the
glitz, style and ambience eulogised in Frank Sinatra’s ‘Come
Fly with Me’. Bryce Evans investigates an aspect of the airline
service that was central to the company’s success, its food; a
gourmet glamour underpinned by both serious science and attention
to the detail of fine dining culture. Modelled on the elite dining
experience of the great ocean liners, the first transatlantic and
transpacific flights featured formal thirteen course dinners served
in art deco cabins and served by waiters in white waist-length
jackets and garrison hats. As flight times got faster and altitudes
higher, Pan Am pioneered the design of hot food galleys and
commissioned research into how altitude and pressure affected taste
buds, amending menus accordingly. A tale of collaboration with
chefs from the best Parisian restaurants and the wining and dining
of politicians and film stars, the book also documents what food
service was like for flight attendants, exploring how the golden
age of airline dining was underpinned by a racist and sexist
culture. Written accessibly and with an eye for the glamour and
razzamatazz of public aviation history, Bryce Evans' research into
Pan Am airways will be valuable for scholars of food studies and
aviation, consumer, tourism, transport and 20th century American
history.
