Organización de empresas Resumen: This book examines the key legal and business aspects of sustainability in depth. Recognizing the firm’s need for integrated approaches to law and sustainability as well as adaptive goal setting, the book unites scholars from environmental law, energy, risk regulation and intellectual property. Most firms now recognize that global resources are finite and will grow increasingly scarce. They acknowledge that their actions have social, economic and environmental consequences. Some firms now practice “whole life-cycle” analysis in marketing and product design, seek sustainable inputs and energy sources, and track and report sustainability performance overall, however it can be measured. But standard practices have not kept pace. Regulators must support such efforts with mandatory structures for all firms enabling leaders to gain competitive advantages and laggards to pay the price. The variety of regulatory tools has grown to include cooperative funding, intellectual property rights, information disclosures, and other means. And that variety is most urgently needed in transition economies where the forces of international competition can be the strongest. The chapters in this book push beyond the traditional boundaries separating these dimensions of law, business and sustainability to offer both practical insights and directions for future research in this immense and growing nexus Nota de contenido: Design for Regulation: Integrating Sustainable Production into Mainstream Regulation -- Mandating Sustainability: When Federal Legislation May Preempt the Best Green Building Code Intentions -- An Operational Look at Take-Back Legislation -- Subsidizing Sustainability: The Role of the State and Civil Society in Implementing Wal-Mart’s Local Produce Sourcing Program -- IPRs and the Transfer of Technologies that Combat Climate Change: the Untapped Potential of Licensing -- The Benefits of a Sustainable Energy Trade Agreement (SETA) -- The Future of Sustainability Reporting as a Regulatory Mechanism -- Green washing 2.0: Identifying a New Paradigm Through B-to-B Threat Matrices En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-04723-2 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36040 Law and the Transition to Business Sustainability [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Cahoy, Daniel R ; Colburn, Jamison E . - Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - XI, 153 p. 7 illus., 5 illus. in color : online resource. - (Perspectives on Sustainable Growth, ISSN 2199-8566) .

Título : Urban Transportation Planning in the United States : History, Policy, and Practice Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Weiner, Edward ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: New York, NY : Springer New York Fecha de publicación: 2013 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XVIII, 370 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4614-5407-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Business Operations research Decision making Regional planning Urban Environmental law policy and Management Operation Research/Decision Theory Landscape/Regional Planning Law/Policy/Ecojustice Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: The development of U.S. urban transportation policy over the past half-century illustrates the changing relationships among federal, state, and local governments and the private sector. This comprehensive text examines the evolution of urban transportation planning from early developments in highway planning in the 1930s to today’s concerns over sustainable development, security, and pollution control. Highlighting major national events, the book examines the influence of legislation, regulations, conferences, federal programs, and advances in planning procedures and technology. The volume provides in-depth coverage of the most significant event in transportation planning, the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, which created a federal mandate for a comprehensive urban transportation planning process, carried out cooperatively by states and local governments with federal funding. Claiming that urban transportation planning is more sophisticated, costly, and complex than its highway and transit planning predecessors, the book demonstrates how urban transportation planning evolved in response to changes in such factors as the environment, energy, development patterns, intergovernmental coordination, and federal transit programs. This updated, revised, and expanded edition features two new chapters on global climate change and managing under conditions of constrained resources, and covers the impact of the most recent legislation, 50 years after the Highway Act of 1962, emphasizing such timely issues as security, oil dependence, performance measurement, and public-private sector collaboration Nota de contenido: Introduction -- Early Highway Planning -- Launching Urban Transportation Planning and the Interstate Highway Program -- Urban Transportation Planning Comes of Age -- Improving Intergovernmental Coordination -- Rising Concern for the Environment and Citizen Involvement -- Beginnings of Multimodal Urban Transportation Planning -- Transition to Short-Term Planning -- Emphasizing Urban Economic Revitalization -- Decentralization of Decisionmaking -- Promoting Private Sector Participation -- The Need for Strategic Planning -- The Growth of Sustainable Development -- Expanding Participatory Democracy -- Moving Towards Performance Based Planning -- Concluding Remarks En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-5407-6 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36422 Urban Transportation Planning in the United States : History, Policy, and Practice [documento electrónico] / Weiner, Edward ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - New York, NY : Springer New York : Imprint: Springer, 2013 . - XVIII, 370 p : online resource.

Título : Urbanization in Asia : Governance, Infrastructure and the Environment Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: SpringerLink (Online service) ; Sridhar, Kala Seetharam ; Wan, Guanghua Editorial: New Delhi : Springer India Fecha de publicación: 2014 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XII, 287 p. 90 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-81-322-1638-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Environmental law policy Public finance Development economics Regional Spatial Economics Law/Policy/Ecojustice Regional/Spatial Science Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: This work focuses on urban governance in the developing world, its aim being to bring a holistic perspective to the debate on urban governance in Asia and around the globe. It has been divided into three sections: The first section is on rural interventions as they influence urbanization and its problems/solutions. The second focuses on urban governance, infrastructure programs, service delivery reforms and their evaluation. The third and final section focuses on urbanization and the environment. In the first section, we present evaluations of India’s rural programs including the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), and of India’s Total Sanitation Campaign (Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan). This section covers the transition from rural to urban areas, and highlights coping mechanisms in urban areas and policy implications for urban governance, from the viewpoint of rural migrants. The section on urban governance, infrastructure and service delivery is the most in-depth one and consists of papers that present state-of-the-art research on many aspects of infrastructure such as cost and time overruns, risks and their mitigation, assessments of the metro rail, and services such as solid waste management. The focus of the final section is on urbanization and the environment. Here we examine land use change in India, the relationship between urban form and residential energy use in Bandung, Indonesia, and end by depicting a cautiously optimistic view of Asia’s urbanization-environment nexus Nota de contenido: Introduction -- Implementation of MGNREGA: A Study of two Gram Panchayats in Jhalawar, Rajasthan -- ‘Total Sanitation Campaign’ intervention for a semi-urban village through ‘Public-People-Private’ partnership -- Making the Connection between Informal Self-employment and Temporary Migration: Lessons from the Cycle Rickshaw Sector -- Benchmarking cities: Evidence from India -- Central and state urban infrastructure programs in Karnataka: What do we learn? -- Risk allocation in concession agreements for PPP road projects in India -- Value of Travel Time Saved in Modal Shift from Bus to Metro Case Study: Rohini (West) Delhi Metro Station -- Hidden Cost in Public Infrastructure Project: A Case Study of Kolkata East-West Metro -- Impact of Urban Policy Reform: A Case Study of the Informal Sector in Solid Waste Management in Delhi -- Estimating economic costs of municipal solid waste management -- A study of small and micro enterprise regulatory impediments in Fiji -- Trends of land-use change in India -- Exploring the relationship between urban form and residential energy use in Bandung, Indonesia -- Urbanization and the Environment: An Asian Perspective En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-81-322-1638-4 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36324 Urbanization in Asia : Governance, Infrastructure and the Environment [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Sridhar, Kala Seetharam ; Wan, Guanghua . - New Delhi : Springer India : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - XII, 287 p. 90 illus : online resource.

Organización de empresas Resumen: This book is a compilation of case studies from different countries and covers contemporary technologies including electric vehicles and solar thermal power plants. The book highlights the real-world situations facing individual projects and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the underlying business propositions. It also sheds light on the factors that are routinely ignored during project formulation and risk assessment, namely coordination among public and private agencies, confirmed availability of relatively minor but essential components, possibility of concurrent demand for inputs from different project proponents, etc. The book provides a systematic ‘guided tour’ of renewable energy (RE) projects for potential project analysts and includes the development of financial models. It concludes with an evaluation of risk and the design of risk-mitigation measures. It is designed to simultaneously appeal to business school students and to serve as a guide for practicing executives, policy makers and consultants. The cases cover several countries, currencies, policy environments, technologies and resources and will help policy makers, consultants and project analysts and proponents view RE projects in a new light Nota de contenido: Case 1.

Título : Energy-Based Economic Development : How Clean Energy can Drive Development and Stimulate Economic Growth Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Carley, Sanya ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Lawrence, Sara Editorial: London : Springer London Fecha de publicación: 2014 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XIV, 165 p. 13 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-4471-6341-1 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Energy policy and state industries Environmental law economics Economics Policy, Management Law/Policy/Ecojustice Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Energy is becoming a prominent driver of economic development. Each year, billions of dollars are invested around the world by the public and private sectors in low-emissions energy development and energy efficiency planning. Energy-based economic development (EBED) is a domain that seizes the opportunities inherent in clean energy development to drive innovation and generate economic growth. Energy-based economic development: How clean energy can drive development and stimulate economic growth delivers working definitions, common approaches, descriptions of supportive policy mechanisms, and suggested metrics for evaluation. The book offers a unified framework for EBED that is supported by examples and leaves readers better equipped to design, plan, and implement EBED initiatives. Case studies illustrate how national and subnational initiatives adopt to a locale’s energy asset base, energy and economic development needs, and the context in which the initiative operates. Descriptions of the energy projects supported by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act offer insights about what worked and what did not and suggest ways in which governments can be better prepared to manage EBED projects in the future. This book provides the tools necessary to work toward simultaneous energy and economic development goals and facilitates discussion for an advanced policy agenda of energy efficiency, energy diversification, innovation-led economic growth, and job creation Nota de contenido: Energy-Based Economic Development: Definition of the Field -- A History of Energy-Based Economic Development -- Energy-Based Economic Development Activities and Approaches -- Case Study Review: What We Have Learned from Examples of Current and Recent Practice -- ARRA Funding Successes and Limitations -- Experiences from the Field: Survey Results from Implementing Organizations -- Energy-Based Economic Development in an International Context: Energy Service Provision En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4471-6341-1 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=35892 Energy-Based Economic Development : How Clean Energy can Drive Development and Stimulate Economic Growth [documento electrónico] / Carley, Sanya ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Lawrence, Sara . - London : Springer London : Imprint: Springer, 2014 . - XIV, 165 p. 13 illus : online resource.
