This new book focuses on the important concern of sustainability in
tourism and hospitality industry. As the world's natural resource
base is limited, the world is looking for solutions in the domains
of energy, water, alternate building materials, resource
redeployment, and sustainable livelihoods as well. The tourism and
hospitality industry is a large deployer of natural and created
resources. Some of the themes the book addresses include: designing
sustainable restaurants sustainable accommodation practices
designing green hotels energy conservation in hotels- a Green
Approach technology and sustainability marketing sustainability to
consumers sustainable culinary practices sustainable employee
practices sustainable equipment design for the hospitality industry
sustainable tourism practices sustainable transport practices
sustainable tourism destinations/cities The book takes
sustainability beyond the realms of external factors that matter to
an organization. The authors look at various constituents of the
hospitality sector and analyze each of those from a sustainability
standpoint. The book includes case studies that are global in
nature and that show how sustainable applications can be used and
how concerns can be addressed. Environmental challenges are also
discussed. This book is futuristic with lot of practical insights
for the students, faculty,. and practitioners. Since the
contributors are from across the globe, it is fascinating to see
the global benchmarks.

Innovation is the driving force behind economic growth. The
knowledge that f- ters innovation builds on both systematic
research and serendipity. The availability of new knowledge-be it
technological or organizational (social)-is, however, - suf?cient.
An institutional structure must be in place that enhances mutual
learning among the actors involved and that stimulates cooperation,
as well as competition. This recognition has inspired this volume,
which focuses on national innovation s- tems and sectoral
(technology) innovation systems that differ widely between co-
tries, due to their diverse historical paths and distinctive
cultural and societal f- tures. With regard to theory, most
chapters incorporate a mix of endogenous growth theory and
evolutionary thinking. Endogenous growth theory places an emphasis
on the interplay between technological knowledge and various
structural charact- istics of the economy and society, as well as
on the results of economic growth. Concepts related to technology
development, accumulation of knowledge on te- nology, and
technology diffusion feature prominently here. In evolutionary thi-
ing, and in particular coevolutionary thinking, the focus is on
close links between technology and institutions, whereby the
functionality of technology is in?uenced by certain dynamic
interactions with institutional systems. Information technology
turns out to be a clear example of such a development.

The book explores the dynamics of entrepreneurship initiated by
women and also assesses the role of technology in sustaining the
same. Through global case studies this book analyses the growth of
successful entrepreneurial initiatives by women. These cases are
sourced from various countries such as India, Singapore, UK, Middle
East, US, Slovenia, and Chile. The cases give insight into the
socio-economic contexts and how in the given industry scenarios
these initiatives were successful. These cases take us through the
trials, tribulations and success of women entrepreneurs in diverse
sectors which have leveraged technology to achieve their goals. The
cases have strong conceptual underpinnings of management theory
enmeshed into them. The cases also include the environmental and
governmental support network, exploration of idea behind creation
of a business, supporting institutions and firms, key obstacles
encountered and how these were resolved, current state of business
and future growth scenario. The strong management underpinning
makes it a valuable resource both for entrepreneurs, managers and
academics.
