Organización de empresas Resumen: The contemporary economic landscape features the prevalence of the service sector in economic systems, the pervasive servitisation of manufacturing, innovations in traditional business models and new value creation models, thanks to the new possibilities offered by the web, ICT and other enabling technologies. In this evolving context, this book provides qualified contributions on the topic of service science from a managerial perspective. A multidisciplinary perspective is adopted, dealing with both the structural–technological and dynamic–relational aspects of managing complexity. In addressing the contribution that service science can make to business value creation, this book covers relevant issues such as product servitisation, business modelling, value cocreation with customers, performance measures and the role of ICT. It also presents some innovative experiences of management models in service organisations operating in the environmental, energy and health-care sectors. This book aims to enhance the value of the results of research intertwined with the development of a new training curriculum started four years ago at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa (Italy) with the evolution of the "Master in Management of Innovation" into the new "Master in Management, Innovation and Service Engineering" (MAINS) Nota de contenido: Introduction -- PART 1: THE FUNDAMENTAL OF SERVICE SCIENCE -- 1 Service Science: on reflection -- 2 Product servitization -- 3 Business model innovation paths -- 4 The transformation of the business model: business modelling -- 5 The user-led innovation.

Kranz Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2013 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: VI, 258 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4614-5266-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Business Renewable energy resources Energy policy and state Management science Electric power production sources Alternate Green industries Management, general Policy, Economics Technology Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: In smart grids the formerly separated worlds of energy and telecommunication converge to an interactive and automated energy supply system. Driven by social, legal, and economic pressures, energy systems around the globe are updated with information and communication technology. These investments aim at enhancing energy efficiency, securing affordable energy supply, and mitigate climate change. In Broadband Networks, Smart Grids and Climate Change, renowned scholars and managers from the fields of energy and telecommunication address key questions related to technological, strategic, and regulatory issues revealing consequences and opportunities for businesses evolving with smart grids. “IT has transformed many industries—now it is energy’s turn! This important book will guide readers through ‘smart grids,’ the interconnection of broadband and energy systems and its implications: more efficient, ‘greener’ and more responsive to consumers/producers.” Leonard Waverman, Dean of the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary and Fellow of the London Business School “The energy supply system will change dramatically in the years to come, and information and communication technologies will play a pivotal role in this transition. If you wish to understand in-depth how policy, regulation and businesses can leverage and harness this transition for sustainable economic growth this book offers an excellent starting point.” Dr. Ingo Vogelsang, Professor of Economics, Boston University “A persuasive linking of three major policy inquiries through the advanced technologies for each. Celebration of technology is fine, but perspective about it is still better. Makes for a timely course—all in one collection.” Douglas N. Jones, Professor (emeritus) of Regulatory Economics, The John Glenn School of Public Affairs and Director (emeritus), The National Regulatory Research Institute, The Ohio State University. “To developed countries smart grids offer an enormous opportunity to decarbonize their energy supply systems. But also for emerging countries the synergies between information and communication technologies and the energy system establish opportunities for economic growth without wasting resources and environmental degradation. For both initial situations this book offers valuable insights for scholars, policy makers and practitioners.” Dr. Joachim von Braun, Director of the Center for Development Research (ZEF Bonn) and Professor of Economics and Technological Change, University of Bonn Nota de contenido: Introduction by Eli M.

Título : Dynamic Locational Phases of Economic Activity in the Globalized World Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Toshiharu Ishikawa ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Singapore : Springer Singapore Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XIII, 152 p. 70 illus., 25 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-981-10-0524-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Industries Economic growth Economics Regional economics Spatial Regional/Spatial Science Systems Growth Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This book clarifies the mechanisms of economic globalization in changing industries' locations and shows how industries' locations have changed through those mechanisms. First, the book deals with the retailing industry. Introducing the concept of a contact price into the market area analysis, it is shown in Part I that retailers' market areas and prices are changed in different ways by a reduction of transportation costs. The mechanism of these changes is explained by checking the contact prices at apexes of the retailers' market areas. Then the book moves to the manufacturing industry and deals with a firm's production process. Part II of the book shows the manner in which the production volume of factories within an agglomeration is decreased as the number of factories within the agglomeration increases. Subsequently, considering the fact that many production factories depart from agglomerations to other sites to reduce production costs, a method of searching for a factory's new site is proposed in which a firm can seek out an optimal location of a factory in a short period of time. By referring to a chaotic phenomenon, a firm sets a location prospective area in a large geographical area and selects an optimal location within that area. In the third part of the book the city system is the focus. Part III elucidates the theoretical formation of a city system and analyzes structural changes of a city system due to a reduction of transportation costs. The mechanism of the change is explained by a flexible market area theory which studies a city system by using the market areas established in the free-entry equilibrium. Then, the economic relationships between the cities within a city system are examined from the point of view of the land rent in the cities' areas. This analysis shows the influences of a change in the largest city on other cities. Finally, the relationships between a city system and regional performance are examined using real data. The examination shows that the city system reveals the regional performance Nota de contenido: Part I Location theory of retailing industry -- 1 Market areas of retailers in linear space -- 1.1 Formation mechanism of monopoly retailer's market -- 1.2 Emergence of competition and competition styles -- 1.3 Equilibrium price and market established in linear market -- 2 Market areas of retailers in plane space -- 2.1 Shapes of market border between two retailers -- 2.2 Market area in spatial free entry equilibrium -- 2.3 Effects of variety of items on retailer's market situation -- 2.4 Effects of freight rate on items and market of shopping center -- 3 Market analysis by Contact Price Curve -- 3.1 Derivation of spatial free-entry equilibria -- 3.2 Analysis of spatial free-entry equilibria by using contact price curve -- Part II Location theory of manufacturing industry -- 4 Change of factory's production in agglomeration -- 4.1 Formation of industrial agglomeration -- 4.2 Relationship between number of factories and agglomeration economies -- 4.3 Spatial departure of production processes from agglomeration -- 5 Location theory of factory in the globalized world -- 5.1 Factory's location in the globalized world -- 5.2 Derivation of the profit function of a firm -- 5.3 Settlement of location prospective area -- 5.4 Firm's profits and revenues of countries in different corporation tax rates -- 5.5 Location power of the corporation tax and the interest rate -- 5.6 Effects on factory's location of industrial park and industrial complex -- Part III Location theory of city system -- 6 City systems built on basis of economic activity -- 6.1 City systems constructed on basis of market area theory -- 6.2 City system built by using cities' production functions -- 6.3 Change of city system in the real world -- 7 Analysis of city system by using cities' land rents -- 7.1 Assumptions and framework of analysis -- 7.2 Land rent and capital amount in city -- 7.3 Analysis of Land rents and production amounts of cities in city system -- 7.4 Influences of change of freight rates and production efficiency on cities -- 8 City system as a location factor -- 8.1 Role of city system in firm's decision making of location -- 8.2 Numerical index of characteristics of city system -- 8.3 Estimation of social health of prefectures in Japan -- 8.4 Relationships between city system and prefecture's performances -- 8.5 City system as a location factor -- Appendix -- References En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-0524-4 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=41865 Dynamic Locational Phases of Economic Activity in the Globalized World [documento electrónico] / Toshiharu Ishikawa ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - Singapore : Springer Singapore : Imprint: Springer, 2016 . - XIII, 152 p. 70 illus., 25 illus. in color : online resource.

Using accounts from heterosexual women and lesbians working in professional, manual and operational roles, Gender and Sexuality in Male-Dominated Occupations adopts an intersectional approach to examine advantage and disadvantage on the basis of gender, sexuality and occupational class in these sectors. Drawing on interviews and focus groups, the author examines why women choose to enter male-dominated industries, their experiences of workplace relations, their use of women's support networks and trade unions, and the interface between home and work lives. Presenting international and UK-based examples of effective interventions to increase women's participation in male-dominated work, this important book highlights the need for political will to tackle women's underrepresentation, and suggests directions for the future.

Drawing on interviews and focus groups, the author examines why women choose to enter male-dominated industries, their experiences of workplace relations, their use of women's support networks and trade unions, and the interface between home and work lives. Presenting international and UK-based examples of effective interventions to increase women's participation in male-dominated work, this important book highlights the need for political will to tackle women's underrepresentation, and suggests directions for the future.
