Abstract:

Digital business transformation, understood as a radical change in the company's business model with the active use and influence of digital technologies, is currently an extremely relevant area of practical activity and scientific research. The monograph describes the possibilities of limitations of digital transformation management methods at the organizational level, which have remained relatively poorly studied until recently. The study of digital transformation management tools is accompanied by the consideration of a large number of practical cases and practical examples. For students, postgraduates and teachers of economic universities and faculties, as well as a wide range of readers interested in the digital transformation of business.

Abstract:

The collective monograph examines the main aspects of the large-scale structural modernization of the Russian economy at the present stage. Considerable attention is paid to the necessary conditions for the implementation of structural changes, the increasing importance of social and socio-political factors is analyzed, and the sectoral and regional potential of structural modernization is studied in the context of its relationship with practice. Barriers and factors that are relevant for Russia, as well as the effects of numerous rounds of collective sanctions that constrain structural transformations, have been identified. The possibilities are considered and the main vectors of further economic development are characterized, implying social and environmental sustainability and improving the quality of life of the population. The monograph is aimed at economists, teachers, graduate students, students of economic disciplines, and is also of interest to scientists and practitioners.

Abstract:

The aim of the Doctoral Thesis “Open Space Transformations in Large-Scale Housing Estates of Riga in the Post-Socialist Period” is to evaluate the impact of open space transformations on the residential environment quality in Riga’s large-scale housing estates. The research presents a summary of existing residential environment quality evaluation approaches and tools, shows the developed approach for evaluation of the impact of open space transformations on residential environment quality, and outlines evaluation results of open space of Riga’s large-scale housing estates. A survey was developed and conducted to identify residents’ attitude towards possible future transformations and those which have already happened. Residential environment quality evaluation approach can be used for both evaluation of the impact from transformations, which have already happened, and analysis of possible consequences of future transformations.

Abstract:

Two different general claims have been made about large-scale political transformations produced by responses to environmental change. One is the claim that we are witnessing the potential emergence of a “green state,” where states internalize an ecological function as a core state imperative. Another is that we are undergoing a transition to an “environmental state.” The former claim thus envisages a radical transformation and its theory of the state based on historical sociology, while the latter is more skeptical about the capacity of states to undergo radical transformation, being informed by neo-Marxist accounts of the state. This chapter uses responses to climate change—a key test case for claims about large-scale political transformation—to suggest that some substantial transformations in the state are occurring, but that the driving forces are indeed political–economic and thus existing accounts of the “green state” need to be reformulated in this light.

Abstract:

Durant la séance extraordinaire du Conseil fédéral du 19 janvier 1914, Giuseppe Motta détaille la situation de crise dans laquelle se trouve le Credito Ticinese de Locarno. Le jour suivant, dans l’immeuble de la Banque Nationale Suisse à Berne, des représentants du gouvernement fédéral et de la BNS ainsi qu’une délégation du gouvernement cantonal et d’instituts bancaires suisses et tessinois cherchent des solutions pour contrecarrer la crise qui, entre-temps, a englouti également la Banca Cantonale Ticinese. La crise bancaire tessinoise de 1914 qui s’inscrit dans une série de faillites bancaires suisses durant les années 1910 constitue un point de rupture dans l’histoire bancaire cantonale. Cet ouvrage présente, dans une première partie, les origines de l’activité bancaire tessinoise au cours du xıxe siècle. Pendant cette période, les banques, créées par des promoteurs locaux, récoltent l’épargne cantonale, dont une large partie provient des remises des émigrants. Elles contribuent à financer la construction des transports régionaux tout en favorisant l’essor du tourisme et de l’économie cantonale. L’Italie devient alors un débouché pour les capitaux tessinois qui cherchent des opportunités et des rendements en dehors du marché local. Des opérations risquées, au Tessin et en Italie constituent l’un des différents facteurs qui conduisent à la crise de 1914 dont l’analyse fait l’objet de la deuxième partie de ce livre. Enfin, la troisième partie présente les transformations structurelles qui assurent au secteur bancaire tessinois un nouveau départ. Celui-ci, marqué par la venue de grands instituts bancaires suisses et étrangers, est soutenu par l’arrivée de capitaux privés italiens dans le contexte d’une intégration renforcée au cadre institutionnel, monétaire et politique de la Confédération. L’analyse de la période entre 1861 et 1939, avec ces différentes phases, permet d’identifier des éléments qui émergent avec force durant la grande expansion que le secteur bancaire tessinois vit après la Seconde Guerre mondiale tout en mettant en relief des caractéristiques que l’on retrouve aujourd’hui.

Abstract:

Extensive habitat loss and habitat conversion has occurred across all mediterranean-type climate (MTC) regions, driven by increasing human populations who have converted large tracts of land to production, transport, and residential use (land-use, land-cover change) while simultaneously introducing novel forms of disturbance to natural landscapes. Remaining habitat, often fragmented and in isolated or remote (mountainous) areas, is threatened and degraded by altered fire regimes, introduction of invasive species, nutrient enrichment, and climate change. The types and impacts of these threats vary across MTC regions, but overall these drivers of change show little signs of abatement and many have the potential to interact with MTC region natural systems in complex ways.

Abstract:

The Crimean War was a watershed event in Russia; it transformed government and society and ushered in the Great Reforms. Russian subjects mobilized to support the home front came out of the war with an expectation of reciprocity; serfs wanted their freedom, while other social estates saw the potential of civil society. In Crimea and the larger province of Tauride, the war created profoundly negative change. Violence disassembled landscapes and altered topography. It remapped roads, and communication networks. War destroyed industry and agriculture. Most significantly, punitive civilian policies combined with the failure of recovery programs led the mass migration of Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The Russian government resettled Christian populations in the spaces vacated by emigrating Tatars and remade the distant borderland into its own image. Crimea never recovered from the Crimean War. Rather, mass scale violence transformed Crimea.

Abstract:

This chapter narrates the meeting of the American and European worlds, a meeting that propelled Native people into a time of profound cultural, social, and political transformations. The forces that caused these transformations include military losses and cultural exchanges with early colonizers, the introduction of Old World diseases, and the consequences of political and economic incorporation into the modern world economy through a trade in Indian slaves. The impact of the European invasions played out differently in different regions and for different Indian polities and social groups. The full transformation of the Native world, then, must be viewed against a larger interpretive framework so that each instance of transformation can be understood as a distinctive phenomenon. This chapter offers such a framework through the concept of the “shatter zone,” which offers a regional frame for integrating events and people into a single interactive world.

Full text

Abstract:

Since the 1980s, Spain and South Korea have experienced a dramatic transformation from middle-income to advanced economies. How did Spain and South Korea upgrade? While market liberalization and globalization were important forces for change, and states continue to be central in the organization of the Spanish and Korean economies, the liberal and the developmental state perspectives do not provide an comprehensive explanation of these transformations. Building on a combination of historical institutionalism and international business literatures, this book argues that upgrading was underpinned by cooperative models based on interdependencies and quid pro quo exchanges between national governments and large firms. The negotiated nature of these arrangements opened the door to institutional variation and enabled Spain and Korea to pursue different strategies. Spain adopted an integrational approach based on foreign direct investment, technological outsourcing, and regional integration. Korea pursued a techno-industrial strategy that prioritized self-sufficiency and the development of local technological capacity. These strategies enabled Spanish and Korean firms across multiple complex sectors to reach the efficiency frontier, but resulted in different productive specializations in complex services and manufacturing respectively. Through this comparative study of transformation in Spain and Korea, this book shifts our perspective on the political economy of economic transformation from markets or states to state–firm coordination as a driver for economic transformation, from one to at least two different pathways to upgrading, and from a world divided into emerging economies and world leaders to a more nuanced perspective that recognizes the perspective of new advanced economies.

Abstract:

This book illustrates and assesses the dramatic recent transformations in capital markets worldwide and the impact of those transformations. ‘Market making’ by humans in centralized markets has been replaced by supercomputers and algorithmic high frequency trading operating in often highly fragmented markets. How do recent market changes impact on core public policy objectives such as investor protection, reduction of systemic risk, fairness, efficiency, and transparency in markets? The operation and health of capital markets affect all of us and have profound implications for equality and justice in society. This unique set of chapters by leading scholars, industry insiders, and regulators sheds light on these and related questions and discusses ways to strengthen market governance for the benefit of society at large.

Abstract:

This article proposes a more serious engagement between the fields of cultural sociology and organizational sociology by studying how culture shapes daily organizational life and how, in turn, everyday activity can build up to large-scale cultural change. It argues that people’s everyday methods of coordinating action in organizations, no matter how mundane, are meaningful. To support its arguments, the article examines transformations of words’ meanings in everyday language use by looking at three examples, one from a study of changes in the publishing industry and the other two from a larger study of youth civic engagement projects in the United States. It also discusses the concept of typification, structuralism in practice, border disputes within organizations, and Jeffrey C. Alexander’s notion of “performance” within organizations. Finally, it considers the use of cultural sociology to see how people in organizations coordinate action.

Abstract:

The emergence of village-communities profoundly transformed social organization in every part of the world where such societies developed. Contributors to The Archaeology of Villages in Eastern North America employ archaeological and historical evidence to explore the development of villages among eastern North American indigenous societies of the deep and recent past. Rich data sets from archaeology and contemporary social theory are employed to document the physical attributes of villages, the structural organization and aggregation of such entities, what it means to be a villager, cosmological and ritual systems, and how villages were entangled with one another in regional networks. The result is a volume which highlights the similarities and differences in the historical trajectories of village formation and development in eastern North America, as well as the larger processes by which villages have the power to affect large-scale social transformations.
