Sustainable development has always been a contested concept and has
been extensively debated over the last 30 years with new
classifications arising since then. There was a previous push for
the radical transformations of the market economy to downscale
production and consumption that would increase human well-being and
enhance ecological conditions. Because of this conflict, there was
a need for a new model that challenges and could be the alternative
for the liner economy; this new model is called the circular
economy. A circular economy aimed at eliminating waste and the
continual use of resources. It gained its ground in the era of
disruptive technological advancement and a dynamic global value
chain. By supporting resource-efficient industrial models, the
circular economy preserves and improves natural capital, optimizes
the value of resources, and abolishes negative environmental
externalities such as pollution. Examining the Intersection of
Circular Economy, Forestry, and International Trade explores the
link between the circular economy and various aspects of the
business and environment to understand the usage and viability of
adapting the circular economy from a business perspective. The
chapters highlight the transition to the circular economy, its
implementation across society, its intersection with forestry and
international trade, and the solutions and challenges of the
circular economy. This book is aimed at researchers in the field of
business management, economics, and environmental studies along
with practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and
students looking for more information on the various fields
impacting the circular economy as well as the implementation,
usage, and viability of a widespread adoption of a circular
economy.
This book provides a comprehensive and contemporary source of
reference for the gig economy for sustainable businesses with a
focus on Industry 4.0. It covers the theoretical and practical
implications of the rise of an alternative system in the era of
technology-driven business entities; and explains the emergence of
the gig economy as a crucial factor in devising approaches that
will help in ensuring better decision making. As the COVID-19
pandemic rages on, investors and corporations are attempting to
overcome the turbulence in financial markets over the past few
months. Governments and economists are scrambling to mitigate the
impacts of lockdowns. Many businesses have transferred to a remote
working system, and the critical challenge remains to make this
form of work and business productive, efficient, and sustainable.
Against this backdrop, the book provides an overview of the gig
economy from varied perspective such as general business and
economics; ethics, governance, and legal issues; diffusion of IT in
the workplace; sustainability; future of workforce and workplaces
during and post-pandemic scenarios. This edited volume also
highlights several challenges and opportunities for managing the
diverse workforce in the prevailing situation which has no
precedence. With its discussions on the impact of the gig economy
on the business world, the book carries appeal for scholars in the
business, human resource professionals, industry practitioners,
corporates, and policy advocates interested in learning about
evolution, automation, marketing, and sustainability in the gig
economy.
