There is broad consensus on the need to shift to a new paradigm of lifestyles and economic development, given the un-sustainability of current patterns. Given this, research on consumer behavior is to play a crucial role in shedding light on the motives underpinning the adoption of responsible behaviors.
Stemming from a thorough discussion of existing approaches, this book argues that the perspective of analysis has to be modified. First, acknowledging that a profile of the responsible consumer does not exist since all of us can be more or less sustainable and environment-friendly: the sustainability of an individual should not be considered as given, being something dynamic that changes according to both subjective and contextual factors. Moreover, the book hypothesises that integrating dimensions and perspectives that have been so far overlooked by mainstream research will help deconstruct responsible behaviors adopting a flexible and holistic approach. Relevant policy implications are discussed, and empirical research on responsible behaviors is illustrated.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of consumer behavior, sustainable consumption, environmental psychology and environmental studies in general.

The World Sustainable Development Outlook series has been developed to provide an overview of sustainable development (SD), to discuss why it is important and to provoke forward thinking on the development of a more coherent approach to solving global problems related to sustainability through science and technology.
Outlook 2013 includes a selection of the best papers presented during the 11th International Conference of WASD held in London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), London, UK in the period 2-4 September 2013. The main parts of the book are: Sustainable economic development, Climate change and the environment, Public policy and development, Science technology and innovation management, Knowledge management and ICTs, International business and entrepreneurship, Finance and accounting, Services research, Transportation research, Public Health.
This book emphasizes the fact that the responsibility for achieving SD is a global one, resting both with the more developed and the less developed nations, if not in equal measure. Therefore, we must think globally but act locally. We must also ensure that we pass on to our children at least as much environmental wealth as we inherited ourselves. Moreover, it is hoped that the outcomes of this book will help develop a framework for the analysis of the role of academic and research institutions in achieving SD and help policy-makers to constructs an "ideal role" for universities and research institutions in DCs and outlines how performance can be evaluated in pursuit of the goals of SD.

Название: Base of the Pyramid 3.0 ISBN: 1783532017 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781783532018 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 107190.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: For well over 4 billion people – approximately 60% of all humanity – annual income is less than $1,500. The term "Base of the Pyramid" was first coined by Stuart L. Hart and C.K. Prahalad in 2002 and has become synonymous with both the method by which we can more effectively address poverty and the opportunity that exists in a multi-trillion-dollar market. A whole new lexicon has emerged to describe this phenomenon, including new buzzwords and catch phrases like "inclusive business", "opportunities for the majority", "sustainable livelihoods", "pro-poor business" and “social business”, and thousands of new businesses, institutions and investment funds have been set up.In this ground-breaking new book, Stuart L. Hart and Fernando Casado Caneque have worked with members of the BoP Global Network to shake the tree, look objectively at what has happened since 2002, highlight why earlier applications of BoP haven’t worked and propose new objectives and ways of working to formulate more sustainable solutions. The book challenges the reader and organizations to think about the mindset and purpose across whole organizations, open innovation rather than simply co-creation, and a complete review of the innovation ecosystem. Through this book, practitioners will gain a clearer insight into which business models can work within different communities to ensure a sustainable transition to improved local economies. Equally, the book is a must-read for researchers and students in the fields of entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainable development and environmental management.
