Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers presents new challenges to the environment workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i. e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute this book evaluates fashion trends what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social environmental and political factors should be maintained and business approaches adopted in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion. | Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

The Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor An Environmental and Economic Critique

The Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor An Environmental and Economic Critique

In this book Thomas B. Cochran takes a critical look at the economic and environmental arguments which have been made in favour of an early introduction of the liquid metal fast breeder reactor (LMFBR) as a central component of the United States electrical energy system. First published in 1974 Cochran presents LMFBR as having no environmental advantage over light water reactors and the high temperature gas reactor and seriously questions the economic advantages. This title should be a useful for students interested in environment and sustainability studies and it is a valuable resource for discussions of future energy strategy. | The Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor An Environmental and Economic Critique

Digital Governance Leading and Thriving in a World of Fast-Changing Technologies

Digital Governance Leading and Thriving in a World of Fast-Changing Technologies

Digital Governance provides managers with a simple and jargon-free introduction to the impact that digital technology can have on the governance of their organisations. Digital technology is at the heart of any enterprise today changing business processes and the way we work. But this technology is often used inefficiently riskily or inappropriately. Worse perhaps many organisational leaders fail to grasp the opportunities it offers and thus fail to transform their organisations through the use of technology. This book provides an explanation of the basic issues around the opportunities and risks associated with digital technology. It describes the role that digital technology can play across organisations (and not just behind the locked doors of the IT department) giving boards and top management the insight to develop strategies for investing in and exploiting digital technology as well as arming them with the knowledge required to ask the right questions of specialists and to detect when the answers given are evasive or irrelevant. International in its scope this essential book covers the fundamental principles of digital governance such as leadership capability accountability for value creation and transparency of reporting integrity and ethical behaviour. | Digital Governance Leading and Thriving in a World of Fast-Changing Technologies

Naked Safety Exploring The Dynamics of Safety in a Fast-Changing World

Workplace safety has never been seen as sexy clever or cool. Fraught with legislative hurdles ambiguous policy and complex procedures despite its alleged importance safety has lost its way.

With narratives on the central pillars of workplace safety including risk management; legal frameworks; performance; governance; leadership and culture as well as perspectives on key issues that affect safety – and business – more broadly such as worker wellbeing; employee engagement; the impact of globalisation; corporate social responsibility; sustainability and the role of the safety practitioner Naked Safety features over 100 actions to bring about positive sustainable organisational change. This book is a useful multi-purpose guide for professionals; an indispensable toolkit for practitioners business leaders and anyone with an interest in workplace risk and Occupational Safety and Health.
