Ten country chapters as well as a comparative chapter on international social economy organizations follow. The volume concludes with an overall analysis of the data from the country chapters, forming a typology of social economy traditions and linking it to recent Post Capitalism trends.Creating a conceptual framework to analyze the new phenomena in social economy, this volume is ideal for academics and practitioners in the fields of social economy; social, economic and welfare policies; social and business entrepreneurship in a comparative fashion; social and technological innovation as well as CSR specialists and practitioners.

People who discuss digital transformation often focus on new technology with a presumption that the working population will embrace it enthusiastically. But human beings are still instinctively dominated by fear, a single complicating reflex which will always be the default response.Workplace fear comes in many forms, including the fear of change, the fear of looking stupid, and the fear of working relationships, and in all cases these fears have deep roots that extend far below having to learn a new technology. It¿s about the fear of losing a job, a livelihood, and an identity.The results of such fear can have enormous repercussions on an organization, including increased vulnerability to ransomware and cyberattack, increased employee turnover, loss of competitiveness, loss of market share, resistance, sabotage, discrimination, and litigation.Steve Prentice is an expert in the relationship between people,technology, and change. This book will demonstrate to managers and employees alike the various types of fear that can occur in the workplace in the context of digital transformation, how these fears can impact productivity, team dynamics, and corporate health, and most importantly, how to overcome them.Using case studies of digital transformation successes and failures, Steve describes:How fear grows in the body and mindHow fear radiates and spreads through groups and teamsHow fear interacts with technology, change, and digital transformationHow ignoring or suppressing fear leads to tangible risks to an organization¿s futureHow to address and manage fear individually and as a groupHow the demands of modern employees have changedHow managers can prepare themselves for the new normalWho This Book Is For Managers who wish to look underthe hood and understand how people respond to the changes in their immediate world, and why most of those responses are negative.

Value is a verb, and entrepreneurial valuation is the process of figuring out what others (should) value. The process is a challenging one, fraught with difficulties. If you are considering your own entrepreneurial journey, how do you start? How do you come up with a good idea? How do you know if your idea is good or if consumers would pay for it? Entrepreneurial Valuation brings to life cutting-edge research on value theory, challenging the prevailing wisdom that entrepreneurial valuation is as simple as asking consumers what they want. In fact, consumers often don't know what they (should) want. Value is a learning process, and consumers are learning what to want over time. Entrepreneurial Valuation will teach you how to follow consumers through this value learning process until you understand them enough to lead themon their journey.
