Comprehensive Evaluation of Effective Biomass Resource Utilization and Optimal Environmental Policies (SpringerBriefs in Economics)
by Jingjing YanThis book adopts a linear optimization method and introduces a dynamic optimization simulation model for analyzing synthetic environmental policies as endogenous variables in order to improve the environment and provide more biomass energy. The model considers both the total ecological system and the socio-economic situational changes. The purpose of the research is to establish effective utilization methods for biomass resources as well as to coordinate resource reutilization, environmental conservation and economic development, and ultimately to achieve sustainable development of society. By selecting for examination a typical suburb of a major city in China (Miyun County near Beijing), the book improves the simulation model and focuses on the evaluation of water pollutant minimization based on the ecological value of Miyun Reservoir. In the simulation, the author takes into account the specific and unique characteristics of China's economy and social state in terms of sustained economic growth rate, financial subordination relations and regional environmental policies, all of which differ from the model for Japan. Beyond these innovations, the book introduces two advanced technologies from Japan and China to the study area through simulation with integrated policies, and presents a regional analysis and allocation strategy for these technologies, which have demonstrated impressive operability in practice, in light of the current conditions and limited funds in China.

The Comprehensive Guide to NFTs, Digital Artwork, and Blockchain Technology
by Marc BeckmanThe ultimate guide to the NFT revolution: How non-fungible tokens are poised to transform the digital world. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are the most important digital innovation since the creation of blockchain and cryptocurrency. NFTs share the best elements of both of these, while also representing an entirely new step forward for technology. But how did NFTs arise, how will they impact art and business in the decades to come, and—perhaps most importantly—how can savvy entrepreneurs position themselves today for success in the NFT-driven world of tomorrow? This guide by industry leader and entrepreneur Marc Beckman delves into the underpinnings of NFT technology in a way that makes the subject clear and comprehensible to the layman, while drawing on Marc&’s branding experience to explore exactly how NFTs are poised to change fashion, sport, fine art, and even social justice. In this book he explores how NFTs will create entirely new asset classes and investment possibilities, such as fractional ownership in dynamic works of art. And in doing so, he also tells the story of how he personally discovered and became entranced by this powerful new tool, and where he believes NFTs will take business and branding throughout the 21st century.

The Compromise Trap: How to Thrive at Work Without Selling Your Soul
by Elizabeth DotyA detailed and inspiring strategy for staying true to yourself at work while contributing to your organization’s effectiveness and integrity• Based on over fifty candid interviews with businesspeople at all levels, including vivid firsthand accounts of compromise and courage• Eminently practical and constructive, with exercises and strategies you can apply wherever you workHealthy compromise is a fact of organizational life, part of accomplishing any meaningful goal with other people. But when it involves betraying your word, your principles, or other important commitments, it takes a bite out of your passion and vitality, trapping you in a web of nagging doubts and regrets or even dread and remorse. Sadly, certain common misconceptions about compromise mean we can fall into this trap unknowingly, making a sort of “devil’s bargain by degrees.” Even worse, this can happen while working for companies and leaders we otherwise respect and admire.So what can you do, short of sacrificing your career?In this unflinching but consistently constructive and timely look at concessions, double-binds, and contradictions of organizational life, Doty suggests the antidote is to “redefine the game” – expand your ability to be a positive force regardless of the setting. At the core of this strategy are six personal foundations that she illuminates with practical exercises and examples, including Reconnect to Your Strengths, See the Larger Playing Field, Define a Worthy Enough Win, Find Your Real Team, Make Positive Plays, and Keep Your Own Score.Full of candid firsthand stories from Doty’s interviews with over fifty businesspeople as well as her own experiences as a consultant and manager, The Compromise Trap offers sympathetic guidance for individuals striving to live with greater integrity, courage, and purpose at work, as well as the executives, coaches, consultants, and loved ones who support them and senior leaders who want to expand what it means for organizations to act with integrity in the world.
Comprosa
by Jim Sharpe Jose Luis BarberoJose Angel Medina, had previously been involved in many turnarounds; this one was different. Comprosa, a Spanish manufacturer of packaging films, had a long history of success but had recently fallen on tough times due to decisions made by the CEO in his attempt to find a buyer for the company coupled with the financial crises in Europe in 2008. Medina, a turnaround professional, had been brought in to save it. In March, 2009, eight months after taking charge, the situation had stabilized but the company had not shown profits. As Comprosa reached breakeven, Medina reflected on how to continue to drive up the company profits. Their markets were mature and powerful Indian and Chinese competitors had achieved economies of scale that Comprosa could never reach. Tired and exhausted he needed to implement with urgency a plan to finalize the turnaround. After determining that the business was worth saving and stablizing the cash situation, Medina takes a number of steps to bring the company quickly back to break even. Now he is faced with determining what steps to take to get the company back to solid profitability.
