Sustainability for SMEs offers a comprehensive introduction to
sustainable business for small and medium-sized enterprises. It
offers: the first ever guide to sustainability reporting for SMEs,
including tips for using sustainability reporting to gain customer
loyalty and build a brand; a collection of airtight arguments and
business cases for putting sustainability at the heart of an SME;
and a practical guide to lowering environmental impact through
improved energy usage, sourcing or generation.
The major environmental impact of most businesses derives from
energy usage. The upside of this is that using energy more
responsibly improves profitability. A business's cheapest unit of
energy is also the one which is least damaging to the planet: the
unit you don't use. There are many ways to make your organization's
energy usage more sustainable. In Sustainable Energy Options for
Business Philip Wolfe outlines the best available options for (1)
reducing energy use and (2) improving the sustainability of energy
supply. After an introduction to regulatory drivers and management
issues, Wolfe looks at energy opportunities in five key areas:
Saving on energy usage; Finding more sustainable sources of energy;
Generating renewable electricity; Producing renewable heat;
Indirect energy sustainability options. Also included: An 'energy
checklist' to help identify your best options and important quick
wins, plus a handy reference list, signposted from annotations in
the text.
This is the first and probably the only book devoted to
utility-scale solar power - perhaps the fastest-growing sector of
the global energy market. Philip Wolfe's book describes the
development and operation of large-scale solar power stations, and
will interest all those who want to understand how these
multi-million dollar projects are designed, structured, financed,
constructed and maintained. It contains case studies of the
Waldpolenz Energy Park, Germany, Lopburi Solar Plant in Thailand
and the Topaz Solar Farm in California. Also included are
interviews from leading figures in the PV industry. It shows the
state of the world market and links to an online resource that
continues to track the explosive growth of the sector. The book is
arranged in three sections: A description of solar projects in
context, and how they are undertaken. Chapters on developing and
structuring projects; siting, consenting and connection issues;
building and operating solar plants; design and technology basics;
economies of solar photovoltaics. The second section reviews
individual aspects of the project development and operational
process in more detail. In particular it advises on strategies to
manage technology, commercial, regulatory and implementation risks.
These are supported by a comprehensive reference section, including
case studies and overviews of key parameters applicable in
different parts of the world. Supported by figures and photographs,
this book is for anyone wanting to master the commercial,
professional, financial, engineering or political aspects of
developing multi-mega-watt solar PV projects in a mainstream power
market. It is a 'user manual' to accompany a sector which by 2015
had surpassed a value of $100 billion.
A new group of contributions to the development of this theory by
leading experts in the field. The contributors include L. D.
Berkovitz, L. E. Dubins, H. Everett, W. H. Fleming, D. Gale, D.
Gillette, S. Karlin, J. G. Kemeny, R. Restrepo, H. E. Scarf, M.
Sion, G. L. Thompson, P. Wolfe, and others.

Papers Presented At A Symposium Held In Chicago Under The Joint
Sponsorship Of The Association For Computing Machinery, The
Graduate School Of Business Of The University Of Chicago, And The
Rand Corporation On June 18-22, 1962.
Die Praxis zeigt, dass Unternehmen die fur Stellenbesetzungen
erforderlichen Informationen haufig nicht bereitstellen. Begrunden
lasst sich dies mit den Faktoren Zeit und Unwissenheit. Zeit, weil
neben dem im Vordergrund stehenden Tagesgeschaft fast immer der
Ruckzug fehlt, sich intensiv mit den Inhalten und Rahmenbedingungen
von zu besetzenden Stellen zu befassen. Unwissenheit, weil
Unternehmen sich der Notwendigkeit jener Uberlegungen als
unverzichtbare Grundlage fur erfolgreiche Rekrutierungsprozesse oft
nicht bewusst sind. All dies ruft nach der Schaffung eines
Instruments, welches die praxisbezogene Anleitung (in Form eines
Baukastensystems) fur die inhaltliche und strukturelle Erstellung
von ausserbetrieblichen Stellenausschreibungen liefert. Damit wird
es moglich, die Ansprache, Identifikation und Anwerbung von
geeigneten Bewerbern zielgenau durchzufuhren. Der Autor Philip
Wenger richtet sich mit diesem Buch an alle in Stellenbesetzungen
involvierten Personen. Damit insbesondere an
Human-Resources-Fachkrafte sowie Fuhrungskrafte mit
Personalfuhrung. Daruber hinaus aber auch an die Berufsgruppe der
privaten Personalvermittler und -berater wie der staatlichen
Arbeitsvermittler."
