Circular Business Models in the Manufacturing Industry Insights from Small Open Economies


Free Download Circular Business Models in the Manufacturing Industry: Insights from Small Open Economies (Studies in Energy, Resource and Environmental Economics) by Lina Dagilienė, Jurgita Bruneckienė, Viktorija Varaniūtė
English | May 2, 2023 | ISBN: 3031288084 | 187 pages | MOBI | 8.80 Mb
The book takes a multi-level perspective, focusing on circular business models by manufacturing industries in European small open economies. The book conceptualises circular business models and combines theoretical foundations with best practices when such models appeared in the textile, furniture, and plastics industries. It also explores barriers, drivers, challenges, and opportunities for leading manufacturing companies to implement circular activities across the value chain. This book offers a qualitative and transformative approach, spread across three different manufacturing industries, towards a circular transition. The findings will be of interest to practitioners and managers, policymakers, and general readers who are interested in the circular economy and environmental sustainability.

The Future of Industry


Free Download The Future of Industry: Human-Centric Approaches in Digital Transformation
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031668006 | 601 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 44 MB
The main focus of the book is on Industry 5.0, a new paradigm for industrial development related to the humanization of technology and the sustainable development of industrial ecosystems. Industry 5.0 is not a technological revolution but a value-based initiative that drives technological transformation by establishing the primacy of human value and creating value for humans. Key topics include the cross-industry potential of Industry 5.0, the humanization of industrial technologies, the transition from Industry 4.0 ecosystems to Industry 5.0, the achievement of sustainability in the process of digital transition, assessing the impact of industrial digital transformation on society and the environment, regional practices for digital transformation, digital transformation strategies of industrial enterprises, HR strategies for the digital transition of industry, among others.

The Framework for Resilient Industry A Holistic Approach for Developing Economies


Free Download The Framework for Resilient Industry: A Holistic Approach for Developing Economies (Emerald Studies in Finance, Insurance, And Risk Management, 9) by Narinder Kumar, Kiran Sood, Ercan Özen
English | March 26, 2024 | ISBN: 1837537356 | 352 pages | MOBI | 10 Mb
Countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka have economies that are categorised as capital deficit, whereas economieswith abundant capital – such as those in Western Europe and North America – have lost little value in comparison during the global pandemic and other economic periods of this downturn. It is therefore a question of resilience that separates these developing economies.

Relationships Between Industry and Bank in Germany


Free Download Relationships Between Industry and Bank in Germany: A Historical Study of Personnel Connection Built Through Interlocking Directorate and Bank’s Advisory Council System by Toshio Yamazaki
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 572 Pages | ISBN : 9819749956 | 14 MB
The objective of this book is to elucidate the characteristics and significance of the relationships between industry and banks in Germany. This is the first book to undertake a historical and comprehensive examination of the personnel connections established through the interlocking directorates and the bank’s advisory council system, using cases of Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, and Commerzbank. This book addresses the mandates of the chairman and vice chairman and the distribution of industrial sectors to which companies belong. It also considers the personnel relations that are built and maintained. The book considers both direct and indirect interlocking directorates comprising the members of top management organs, namely the supervisory board and board of directors. It also examines the personnel networks therein, including those of second- and third-party enterprises, by applying social network analysis. In addition, the book examines the conditions for members of central and regional advisory councils and their top management positions. Furthermore, the functions supported by inter-firm personnel relationships via interlocking directorates and banks’ advisory council systems are examined in terms of information symmetry and conflict resolution, and coordination of the interests among enterprises. This book explores the interlocking directorate processes from bank to industry and vice versa, wherein the common recognition of a management issue is promoted through the information flow and media based on personnel connections. The book explains the system by which various conflicting interests among enterprises are resolved through discussion rather than market competition. It also elucidates the industry-bank relationships and their changes in the history of the development of German capitalism and enterprises. Thus, it provides a combined analysis of the structure and function of the personnel connections of large German banks.

Control Problems in Industry Proceedings from the SIAM Symposium on Control Problems San Diego, California July 22-23, 1994


Free Download Control Problems in Industry: Proceedings from the SIAM Symposium on Control Problems San Diego, California July 22-23, 1994 By Christian H. Bischof, Alan Carle, Peyvand M. Khademi (auth.), Irena Lasiecka, Blaise Morton (eds.)
1995 | 353 Pages | ISBN: 146127589X | PDF | 25 MB
This volume contains a collection of papers presented at the Symposium on Control Problems in Industry, held on July 22-23, 1994 in San Diego. The Symposium, conducted by the Society for Industrial and Applied Math ematics (SIAM), with the cooperation of the Institut National Recherche Informatique et Automatique (INRIA) , focused on industrial control ap plications that have benefited from recent mathematical and technological developments. A partial list of themes featured by the Symposium is listed below. 1) Applications of Control Techniques in a) the aerospace industry, b) the automotive industry, c) the environmental science, d) manufacturing processes, e) the petroleum industry. 2) Optimal Shape Design in Aerospace Applications 3) Optimal Design of Micro-optics 4) Robust Control and H-infinity Methods The purpose of this meeting was to bring together experts from in dustry and academia to share their experience and present new results and new trends in modern control theory, with a focus on real industrial applications. The presentations were selected primarily for the practical significance of the problem solved, though all had significant mathemati cal components. Control theory is an interdisciplinary field which, in its broadest sense, encompasses contributions ranging from classical engineer ing disciplines (circuit theory, automata theory, electronics, manufacturing, mechanical engineering, material science), to theoretical engineering (sys tem theory, computer science) and various areas of mathematics such as ODE, PDE, complex analysis, function theory, algebraic and differential geometry, numerical analysis, etc.

Blockchain Technology in the Automotive Industry


Free Download Blockchain Technology in the Automotive Industry by Ghulam Yasin, Amit Kumar Tyagi, Tuan Anh Nguyen
English | October 30, 2024 | ISBN: 1032584866 | 354 pages | MOBI | 12 Mb
Nowadays, the latest technologies can be found not only in healthcare and space application but also in hybrid supercars. Supercars and hypercars require high-performance materials with high strength, high stiffness, and light weight. For higher performance, car engines now become stronger but smaller and with lower fuel consumption (with cleaner exhaust). Currently, the automotive industry involves batch production, but in the near future, personalized and individualized automobiles with low and limited quantities can be fabricated in smart factories, which integrate all companies working in the supply chain, from manufacturing to marketing and services. In this regard, future automobiles in smart cities become more personalized (single user, limited version, personal spare parts), safer, and smarter.
