by Paola PaoloniThis edited book aims to analyze gender perspectives within the context of sustainable development, providing a comprehensive overview of the phenomena that characterize both public and private organizations.

Supported by knowledge and open innovation, women can raise awareness among companies about more sustainable practices.

The Shapley value: Essays in honor of Lloyd S. Shapley
by Alvin E. RothComposed in honour of the sixty-fifth birthday of Lloyd Shapley, this volume makes accessible the large body of work that has grown out of Shapley's seminal 1953 paper. Each of the twenty essays concerns some aspect of the Shapley value. Three of the chapters are reprints of the 'ancestral' papers: Chapter 2 is Shapley's original 1953 paper defining the value; Chapter 3 is the 1954 paper by Shapley and Shubik applying the value to voting models; and chapter 19 is Shapley's 1969 paper defining a value for games without transferable utility. The other seventeen chapters were contributed especially for this volume. The first chapter introduces the subject and the other essays in the volume, and contains a brief account of a few of Shapley's other major contributions to game theory. The other chapters cover the reformulations, interpretations and generalizations that have been inspired by the Shapley value, and its applications to the study of coalition formulation, to the organization of large markets, to problems of cost allocation, and to the study of games in which utility is not transferable.
The Shard: The Vision of Irvine Sellar
by Howard Watson'We were told we would never get planning consent and we did. We were told we would never be able to fund it and we did. Then we were told we would never be able to build it and we did.' Irvine SellarIn 2000, Irvine Sellar, a former market trader famous for helping to create the look of the Swinging Sixties on Carnaby Street, stood on a rooftop in Southwark, London, and decided to build the tallest building in western Europe. He had virtually no experience, and he wanted to build at the wrong height, in the wrong place, on the wrong side of the river and at the wrong time.Twelve years later, the Shard, a 'vertical city' designed by one of the world's leading architects, Renzo Piano, changed the skyline of London. It immediately became one of the most instantly recognizable and admired contemporary buildings in the world.This is the story of one man's vision for London and his determination to redefine an ancient but maligned part of the city despite seemingly insurmountable challenges including mass opposition, a huge planning inquiry, the financial crash, and major construction issues that required radical improvisation at every turn. At every twist in the tale, Sellar refused to give up.The Shard is a tale of extreme ambition, innovation and a relentless desire to recast the skyscraper as a force for good.

Share or Die: Voices of the Get Lost Generation in the Age of Crisis
by Malcolm Harris and Neal GorenfloEssays from Generation Y, or Millennials, around the globe on what it&’s like for them to try to make it in the real world after graduation. America stands at a precipice; limitless consumption, reckless economics, and disregard for the environment have put the country on a collision course with disaster. It&’s up to a younger generation to rebuild according to new forms of organization, and Share or Die is a collection of messages from the front lines. From urban Detroit to central Amsterdam, and from worker co-operatives to nomadic communities, an astonishing variety of recent graduates and twenty-something experimenters are finding (and sharing) their own answers to negotiating the new economic order. Their visions of a shared future include:· Collaborative consumption networks instead of private ownership · Replacing the corporate ladder with a &“lattice lifestyle&” · Do-it-yourself higher education As a call-to-action, &“share or die&” doesn&’t only refer to resource depletion, disappearing jobs, or stagnating wages. It refers to social death too, and to finding the commonsense ideas and practices needed to not only merely survive, but also to build a place where it&’s worth living. A series of forays into uncharted territory, this graphically rich collection of essays, narratives, and how-tos is an intimate guide to the new economic order and a must-read for anyone attempting to understand what it means to live as part of Generation Y.&“If you know someone who dreams of something bigger than being part of the rat race, please give them this book.&” —Raj Patel, author of The Value of Nothing
Share Power: How ordinary people can change the way that capitalism works – and make money too
by Merryn Somerset WebbShould companies care about climate change? Should they be vanquishing the gender pay gap? Should they be advancing human rights in their supply chains? And if we think they should - can we, as ordinary people, bring about these sorts of changes?The answer is, technically, yes. In the UK, the majority of us now own shares in listed companies - whether that be through a stocks and shares ISA, a self-invested portfolio or a workplace pension scheme. What few people know is that every share comes with a vote in company decisions, over everything from executive pay to corporate strategy. The technology exists to allow us to vote - all we need to do is learn how to use it.In Share Power, Merryn Somerset Webb, Editor-in-Chief of MoneyWeek, takes us deep into the world of corporate capitalism - from the privatisation of state-owned companies in the 1980s to the financial crash of 2008 and the growth of the modern multinational - to show us how capitalism went wrong and how, with six simple recommendations, every one of us now has the power to make it work for us.

Share the Innovation Load: Manage the Costs and Risks of Innovation through Partnerships
by Scott D. AnthonyThe benefits of sharing the innovation burden aren't unique to tough economic times. It's always a good thing to partner with people who are more capable of or specialized in solving particular problems. However, lowering innovation expenses and risks becomes particularly important in lean times. One way to achieve this is to share the innovation burden with other parties, spreading investment and risk to customers, suppliers, and even competitors that are best positioned to bear it. This chapter was originally published as chapter 6 of "The Silver Lining: An Innovation Playbook for Uncertain Times."
Share the Wealth: How to End Rentier Capitalism
by Philippe AskenazyA new perspective on the neoliberal world through the prism of rents and rentiersHow can we reduce inequalities? How can we make work get better recognition and better pay?Philippe Askenazy in this new book shows that the current share of wealth is far from natural; it results from rising rents and their capture by the actors best endowed in the economic game. In this race for rents, the world of work is the big loser: while many workers feed capital rents by increased productivity and worsened working conditions, they are stigmatized as unproductive and their earnings stagnate. By proposing a new description of the capital-work relationship, calling for a remobilization of the world of work, and particularly poorly paid employees, Askenazy shows that there is a more radical alternative to neoliberalism beyond simply redistribution.

Share Trading, Fraud and the Crash of 1929: A Biography of Clarence Hatry (Financial History #30)
by Chris SwinsonThis is the first comprehensive biography of Clarence Charles Hatry, 1888-1965, an enigmatic and charismatic public figure. Hatry was the son of Jewish immigrant parents who became a company promoter and whose companies collapsed in 1929, leading to a crash on the London stock exchange. He was brought down by a desperate fraud. At his trial three months later, the judge said that he could not imagine a worse crime. Analysing transactions in detail, the book reveals Hatry’s brilliance as a manipulator and a world-class networker and persuader. It also demonstrates his vain belief in his ability to overcome any risks and his insecurity which led him to surround himself with sycophants who would not challenge his ideas. It shows how others used Hatry to make money, and, as he destroyed himself, as a scapegoat who distracted from the City’s failings. Despite his deepest ambitions, he remained an outsider. Until now there has been no full biography of Clarence Hatry, which may be attributable to the lack of records, as his business papers are believed all to have been destroyed. This comprehensive biography is based on examination of the memoirs of Hatry’s contemporaries, the archives and records which they and their companies preserved, and press reports of Hatry’s activities. Marking the 90th anniversary of Hatry’s collapse, this book will be important reading for academics and researchers looking to gain a greater understanding of the context of the 1929 crash, or of financial crises generally.
ShareCity: Sharing-Ansätze, Sharing-Verhalten, Sharing-Strategien, Sharing-Cases in Städten
by Dominik Georgi Susanne Bründler-Ulrich Dorothea Schaffner Esther Federspiel Patricia Wolf Richard Abplanalp Bettina Minder Jonas FrölicherLernen Sie mit dem Buch „ShareCity“ die Grundlagen des Konzepts der Sharing Economy kennen und erfahren Sie, wie Städte diesen Ansatz in die Tat umsetzen. Die Autoren sehen in Sharing (zu Deutsch „teilen“) eine Entwicklung, die aufgrund von Trends wie u.a. Car- oder Bike-Sharing zukünftig eine immer größere Rolle spielen wird – und die das Stadtleben der Zukunft mit Blick auf immer knappere Ressourcen prägen könnte.Im einführenden Kapitel dieses Buchs steht zunächst das Konzept der Sharing Economy im Fokus. Die Autoren erläutern, was sich dahinter verbirgt und inwiefern speziell die Digitalisierung zum rasanten Wachstum von Sharing-Angeboten beigetragen hat. Zudem evaluieren die Verfasser, welche Relevanz dieses Konzept für Städte hat. Anschließend werden verschiedene Formen von Sharing-Ansätzen genauer beleuchtet. Dabei typologisieren die Autoren diverse Angebote unter folgenden Gesichtspunkten: • Sharing-Gegenstand• Sharing-Teilnehmende• Sharing-Plattform• Sharing-NutzungAufbauend auf dieser Orientierungshilfe befassen sich die Autoren außerdem mit dem Nachhaltigkeitsgedanken und zeigen Ihnen, welche Wirkungen von Sharing mit Blick auf ökologische, ökonomische sowie soziale Aspekte einhergehen. Unter Berücksichtigung externer Einflussfaktoren stellen die Verfasser in ihrem Buch zum Thema Sharing Economy aufschlussreiche Bezüge zur Praxis her. Anhand einer Studie liefern sie Ihnen empirische Erkenntnisse zur Bewertung von Sharing-Angeboten und Einflussfaktoren zu deren Nutzung. Die daraus abgeleiteten Ergebnisse bilden schließlich die Basis für ein Konzept zur Entwicklung einer Sharing-Strategie, welches von den Verfassern im Anschluss anhand einiger Cases im deutschsprachigen sowie internationalen Raum genauer erforscht wird. Dabei versuchen die Autoren, speziell Antworten auf diese Fragen zu finden:a) Wie gehen Städte mit dem Thema Sharing um?b) Werden bestimmte Sharing-Strategien verfolgt?Im Fokus dieser Untersuchungen stehen unter anderem folgende Metropolregionen: Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Kopenhagen, San Francisco, Seoul, St. Gallen.Zu guter Letzt geben die Autoren noch eine Einschätzung über die zukünftigen Entwicklungen der Share Economy ab.

Shared Capitalism at Work: Employee Ownership, Profit and Gain Sharing, and Broad-based Stock Options
by Douglas L. Kruse Richard B. Freeman Joseph R. BlasiThe historical relationship between capital and labor has evolved in the past few decades. One particularly noteworthy development is the rise of shared capitalism, a system in which workers have become partial owners of their firms and thus, in effect, both employees and stockholders. Profit sharing arrangements and gain-sharing bonuses, which tie compensation directly to a firm's performance, also reflect this new attitude toward labor. Shared Capitalism at Work analyzes the effects of this trend on workers and firms. The contributors focus on four main areas: the fraction of firms that participate in shared capitalism programs in the United States and abroad, the factors that enable these firms to overcome classic free rider and risk problems, the effect of shared capitalism on firm performance, and the impact of shared capitalism on worker well-being. This volume provides essential studies for understanding the increasingly important role of shared capitalism in the modern workplace.
Shared Cognition in Organizations: The Management of Knowledge (Organization and Management Series)
by David M. Messick Leigh L. Thompson John M. LevineWritten for those interested in the topic of "shared knowledge" in organizations, this edited volume brings together a variety of themes and perspectives that emerge when multidisciplinary scholars examine this important subject. The papers were presented at a conference designed to bring together behavioral scientists who were interested in the creation, conversation, distribution, and protection of knowledge in organizations. The editors bring together a distinguished group of social psychologists who have made important contributions to social cognition and group processes. They cast a wide net in terms of the topics covered and challenged the authors to think about how their research applies to the management or mismanagement of knowledge in organizations. The volume is divided into three sections: knowledge systems, emotional-motivational systems, and communication and behavioral systems. A final conclusion chapter discusses and integrates the various contributions.

Shared Entrepreneurship
by Stephen B. Adams Marvin O. Brown Thomas J. Calo Wayne H. Decker Richard C. Hoffman Charles C. Manz Karen P. Manz Olivier P. Roche Frank Shipper Marc D. Street Vera L. Street Christy H. WeerToday's views of leadership and management have significantly expanded to incorporate a variety of elements such as rewards, visions, and worker participation. However, most perspectives still view leadership as something that is assigned to a designated person who then exercises influence downward toward subordinate followers. In many ways the persistent top-down command and control theme that supports established leadership thought and practice prevents organizations from fully tapping into their human resources, in turn limiting their flexibility to meet the challenges of increasingly dynamic, complex, and competitive environments. Shared Entrepreneurship replaces the top-down approaches of the past with a new framework that draws strengths and innovation from collaboration and sharing. This book is divided into two main sections. The first section consists of six chapters which provide an in-depth overview and discussion of shared entrepreneurship. The second section consists of eight original case studies commissioned by the authors, featuring such companies as Herman Miller, Inc. , SRC Holdings, and W. L. Gore & Associates.
