The world has never be so rich-at least financially. And so unsustainable-economically, socially, and environmentally. In fact, we are all living a "nemesis of wealth" (nealth), caused by our shortsighted choices of the past, just focused on ROE, NPV, and shareholders’ value. This "nealth" is now paying us back not only with loads of public debt, inflationary money, and debased cryptocurrencies; but also with unbearable social discrimination, geopolitical tensions and wars and de-globalization; and-last but not least-with the ticking bomb of the climate change to come. If this is the legacy of our "intergenerational arbitrage" (theft?), what is the future for the Gen Z and of the many a to come? How can they manage and overcome all these unbearable burdens to regain the lost sustainability? A new definition of wealth, based on a more holistic "total sustainability," is then required; and, correspondingly, new models to design, manage, and value a targeted wealth creation that is relevant to many stakeholders. Never has been the challenge of change for the wealth management industry so critical, urgent, and of the utmost importance.

Towards a Sustainable Information Society


Free Download Ewa Ziemba, "Towards a Sustainable Information Society"
English | ISBN: 1443886882 | 2016 | 405 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book represents an important voice in the scientific discourse on what constitutes a sustainable information society, and provides a new comprehensive and forward-looking approach to such a development. This approach is based on the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) by the main stakeholders of society, including individuals, enterprises, and public administration, who should use ICTs in order to build the welfare of present and future generations, ensure economic growth and socio-cultural development, increase participation in public life, permit personal development, and build the wisdom of society. As such, the book mainly focuses on the role ICTs play in transforming business, public administration and everyday life in the context of the sustainable information society. This volume will appeal to both researchers and practitioners, as it provides significant areas and directions for research on the sustainable information society, and suggests important issues for programming, building and adopting such a society. The book will allow the reader to answer such critical contemporary questions as What is the sustainable information society and what role is played by ICTs in this society?; What are the challenges and tasks of people, enterprises, and public administration that lead towards the sustainable information society?; How can ICTs support people, enterprises, and public administration in programming, building and adopting such a society?; What are the factors affecting ICT adoption by people, enterprises, and public administration in this context?; What are the areas that should require a primary focus in order to achieve the most satisfying results of ICT adoption by people, enterprises, and public administration?; and How can ICT adoption by people, enterprises, and public administration be measured here?
