From Walmart to Al Qaeda explains the fuzzy, complex and seemingly
incomprehensible concept of globalization. What is globalization?
What are the core topics, theories and competing ideologies? Are we
walking towards homogenization or towards a global collision of
cultures and identities? The potential risks and challenges for the
global economy, corporations and political regimes are acknowledged

new look at how society is being shaped by globalization and how
these apparent destructive patterns can be both explained and
potentially remedied.Globalization is both a concept and a cliche.

state of the world. David Murillo sets out the questions and
identifies the interrelationships of different disciplines to both
understand the issues and also find solutions. The book discusses
globalization and current attempts to conceptualize and measure it.
There are theoretical and ideological debates on whether
globalization is inevitable and the various alternatives for
interpreting how the world works.Accompanying Teaching Notes are
available on request with the purchase of this book.

conditions for effective social innovation* Useful for governments,
academic centers, foundations and entrepreneurs interested in
measuring the potential of social innovation* Builds on social
entrepreneurship research at ESADE Business School* Explores four
inspiring casesThe world s social, ecological and economic problems
are so complex and diverse that there will never be a
one-size-fits-all model for social innovation. The very nature of
social innovation as a new, better way of solving social problems
means that it is not even in the interest of social innovation
advocates to create tidy definitions, but rather to create
environments that allow for the process of creative destruction
with a social purpose to prosper.Inspired by a desire to deepen our
understanding of the role of social innovation in addressing today
s most pressing challenges, authors Heloise Buckland and David
Murillo explore four inspiring cases and define a new set of
variables to help better understand the conditions under which
social innovation can be most effective. These variables can be
helpful for investors, governments, academic centers, foundations
and individual entrepreneurs interested in measuring the potential
of any given social innovation to bring about the much-needed
systemic change to solve today s complex challenges.This book
builds on a track record of research and education in corporate
social responsibility and social entrepreneurship at ESADE Business
School s Institute of Social Innovation.Building on an
understanding of the key characteristics and challenges faced by
social entrepreneurs here authors undertake a deeper analysis of
social innovation."
