Environmental Sustainability and Agenda 2030 : Efforts, Progress and Prospects
Actions to accomplish Agenda 2030 have gained propulsion across time yet remain undetermined in several respects.This volume draws attention to environmental-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the progress of implementation at country and company levels, underscoring the urgent actions needed. Environmental Sustainability and Agenda 2030: Efforts, Progress & Prospects documents the status of environmental SDG implementation in the two developing blocs of BRICS and MINTS, highlighting the reporting practices across these countries.Contributors illustrate that multi-stakeholder participation using group model-building exercises can be practically helpful to generate a shared mental model of multiple stakeholders in conflict.Further insights with practical implications for managers and policy makers include mechanisms for managing modern slavery through corporate social reporting practices, minimising slavery in domestic and global supply chains; use of sustainability accounting in accomplishing Agenda 2030; corporate motivation for disclosing clean water and sanitation (SDG-6) related actions; and the state of corporate environmental reporting research in sub-Saharan Africa.

Changing Organizational Culture : Cultural Change Work in Progress
How is practical change work carried out in modern organizations? And what kind of challenges, tasks and other difficulties are normally encountered as a part of it?In a turbulent and changing world, organizational culture is often seen as central for sustained competitiveness. Organizations are faced with increased demands for change but these are often so challenging that they meet heavy resistance and fizzle out.Changing Organizational Culture encourages the development of a reflexive approach to organizational change, providing insights as to why it may be difficult to maintain momentum in change processes.Based around an illuminating case study of a cultural change programme, the book provides 15 lessons on the entire change journey; from analysis and design, to implementation and how organizational members should approach change projects. This enhanced edition considers the most recent studies on organizational change practice, with new examples from businesses and the public sector, and includes one empirical study which uses the authors’ own framework, enriching their practical recommendations.It also draws on the latest theoretical developments, including ideas of power and storytelling.Accompanying the text is an online pedagogic and research ideas guide available for course instructors and lecturers at Routledge.com. Changing Organizational Culture will be vital reading for students, researchers and practitioners working in organizational studies, change management and HRM.

Progress, What Progress? Britain on the Skids
Technologically, Britain is moving forward in leaps and bounds.We can buy everything we could possibly need online from Tesco, Amazon or a plethora of other outlets and have the goods delivered within hours.Words like gigabyte and Netflix are as familiar to us as tea and coffee.We can talk to our friends on the other side of the world, at no cost, in real time, fully visible and stark naked if we like.Everythings on tap, 24/7.

Scientific Progress
What constitutes cognitive scientific progress? This Element begins with an extensive survey of the contemporary debate on how to answer this question.It provides a blow-by-blow critical summary of the key literature on the issue over the past fifteen years, covering the central positions and arguments therein.It also draws upon older literature, where appropriate, to inform the treatment.The Element then enters novel territory by considering meta-normative issues concerning scientific progress.It focuses on how the standards involved in assessing progress arise.Does science have aims, which determine what counts as progress, as many authors assume?If so, what is it to be an aim of science? And how does one identify such things? If not, how do normative standards arise? After arguing that science does not have overarching aims, the Element proposes that the standards are ultimately subjective.

Moral Progress
This inaugural volume in the Munich Lectures in Ethics series presents lectures by noted philosopher Philip Kitcher.In these lectures, Kitcher develops further the pragmatist approach to moral philosophy, begun in his book The Ethical Project.He uses three historical examples of moral progress--the abolition of chattel slavery, the expansion of opportunities for women, and the increasing acceptance of same-sex love--to propose methods for moral inquiry.In his recommended methodology, Kitcher sees moral progress, for individuals and for societies, through collective discussions that become more inclusive, better informed, and involve participants more inclined to engage with the perspectives of others and aim at actions tolerable by all.The volume is introduced by Jan-Christoph Heilinger and contains commentaries from distinguished scholars Amia Srinivasan, Susan Neiman, and Rahel Jaeggi, and Kitcher's response to their commentaries.

Plato's Progress
This is, as from the author of The Concept of Mind it could scarcely fail to be, a bold and rollicking book.It is also one of the most important works about Plato to have appeared since the first volume of Sir Karl Popper's The Open Society.Whereas The Concept of Mind was a general offensive against Cartesian views of man, eschewing any precise references to particular sources, Plato's Progress deals with scholarly questions of datings and developments, showing and demanding familiarity with a wide literature.Yet Professor Ryle is still incapable as ever of the dry-as-dust.
