Finance, Economics, and Industry for Sustainable Development: Proceedings of the 5th International Scientific Conference on Sustainable Development (ESG 2024), St. Petersburg 2024 (Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics)
by Anna Rumyantseva Elena Sintsova Stevan Rapaic Sergey Yu. SolodovnikovThis book explores business and governance solutions for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by all UN member states in 2015. It features the proceedings of the 5th International Scientific Conference on Sustainable Development (ESG 2024), held in St. Petersburg in 2024.

Incentives for SDG achievement address financing needs through a combination of various forms and mechanisms. Implementing these incentives will also necessitate broader changes in both national and international financial architectures. The book covers a range of fields, including sustainable development for the national and global economy, sustainable development in industrial and financial policy, financing sustainable transformations in industry, finance, and management, sustainable development principles in tax systems, and impact of sustainable development on financial markets among other topics. The book is intended for scholars and professionals involved in public and corporate finance, financial accounting and auditing, sustainable development risk management, economic growth, macroeconomics, monetary policy within a sustainable development environment, public and corporate governance, as well as corporate communications and public relations.

The goal of this book is to advance the rapidly developing field of sustainable business beyond the straightforward logic of cost, waste and risk reduction.The authors offer significant insight into how internal—life cycle design—and external—image and reputation—innovation strategies serve to mediate and possibly reinforce one another by investigating the relationship between proactive environmental strategy and innovation in relation to firm performance. The book includes empirical research, case studies and real-world examples as well as lessons learned from the successful and unsuccessful transformation initiatives of numerous international companies.This book is primarily aimed at an academic audience of scholars, researchers and advanced students in the fields of finance, economics, sustainability, innovation and environmental studies and will also appeal to practitioners and industry experts in these areas.
Finance, Innovation and Geography: Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology (Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology)
by Felix C. MüllerThe overarching aim of Finance, Innovation and Geography: Harnessing Knowledge Dynamics in German Biotechnology is to explore linkages between geographies of finance and relational geographies of innovation. This is achieved by questioning how investment activities affect the unfolding of innovations and in turn are affected by it. This book focuses on biotechnology innovation processes from the perspective of relational economic geography. It reconstructs the unfolding in time and space of eight innovations in German biotechnology. Each one is represented in a qualitative case study. The analysis focuses on the relational work of building, transforming, ending and replacing of collaborative relationships and organizational arrangements surrounding emergent innovations ・ including investment relations and relational work by investors. In this way, the contribution of investors to unfolding innovations is studied with sensitivity to context and situated interactions. The geography of these dynamics is conceptualized by drawing on the recent literature on relational proximity and distance as well as ideas of materiality and space. This book provides a unique perspective, and shows that innovation paths are strongly interwoven with local and temporary opportunities as well as crises, and that investment is embedded in these dynamics. This is essential reading for students and academics of both economics and innovation.
Finance, Investment and Innovation: Theory and Empirical Evidence (Routledge Library Editions: The Economics and Business of Technology #4)
by Michele BagellaThis book provides a critical evaluation of the literature on finance, investment and innovation and proposes new research methods for evaluating the comparative performance of financial systems in supporting innovation. The comparative advantage of this book is that of being directly focused on one of the main unsolved issues in monetary and financial economics: the relative effectiveness of national financial systems in supporting innovation. It proposes various theoretical and empirical contributions that, taken together, allow to evaluate the relative effectiveness of some of the most important country systems such as Japan, and the UK and Italy.
Finance, Law, and the Crisis of COVID-19: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (Contributions to Management Science)
by Nadia Mansour Lorenzo M. Bujosa VadellThis book analyzes the impact of Covid-19 in different areas such as corporate social responsibility and legislation in SMEs, insolvency law, behavioral finance, government interventions in markets, financial disclosure, the emergence of unregulated financial sectors, the increase of coronavirus-related crimes, and the development of banking regulations in the Covid-19 pandemic, among others.The coronavirus epidemic, which has spread throughout the world, has highlighted the inadequacies of the health and social systems of all states, even the most advanced. The health emergency has required extraordinary measures, especially at the level of laws that are essential for the preservation of lives, health, and livelihoods. The priority for governments and even the international community was, from the outset, to prevent infections and care for those affected. Such a strategy required an unusual increase in health spending, even though it exceeded the State's financial capacity and lacked fiscal space. In addition to this challenge, which has not yet been overcome, there is another, that of redressing the consequences of the measures taken (general containment). It should be pointed out that during health crises, the state may have to review the requirement for transparency because of the emergency, but not free itself from it. The urgency could never be an alibi for a violation of citizens' rights and freedoms.With urgency, financial management systems must be flexible and responsive to all occurrences, while ensuring optimal use of resources and minimizing the risks of fraud and corruption.

Finance, Society and Sustainability: How to Make the Financial System Work for the Economy, People and Planet
by Nick SilverThis book is a critical analysis of the impact of the financial system on the economy, society and the natural environment. It cuts through the noise to looks at its purpose, its activities, and what it does in practice.Unlike other books that cover the last financial crisis and the risk of another one; this book is about the consequence of the financial system continuing in its current form. It argues that the financial system is a construct of flawed economic theories, designed in the hope that the market will efficiently allocate society’s capital. Instead, the finance sector allocates savings and investment to maximize its own revenues, with resulting collateral damage to the economy, society and the environment.Although governments try to preserve and regulate the existing system, it is being replaced by a new system driven by technological innovation. The book describes the opportunities this presents for a renaissance of the financial system to actually meet the needs of society, and to re-engineer our economy to avoid environmental crisis.The book is for anyone who would like to understand the finance system’s purpose, what it does in practice and its impact on the real world. For those working in the industry it provides an overview of the system, their place within it, and how to bring about change. For students and academics it provides a valuable critique of the financial system, and the theories on which it is based. For financial policymakers and regulators it identifies key challenges in their activities.

Finance: The Discreet Regulator
by Isabelle Huault Chrystelle RichardThe global financial crisis that began in the summer of 2007 has brought the financial industry to centre stage. While most current analysis focuses on the way finance can be regulated in the topical context of the economic crisis, this book aims to show how financial activities actually shape and transform the world. Highlighting that the true regulators of the economy are not only regulatory state authorities, the book demonstrates that the financial sphere really does contribute to rule-setting. It argues that actors that seem to be the objects of regulation or intervene only at its fringe are in fact 'discreet regulators' which provide the institutional framework that fosters the creation and globalization of markets. Building on a series of case studies, Finance: The Discreet Regulator highlights how public authorities and private actors jointly regulate the real world, with joint regulation being dominated by a multiplicity of financial actors, and looks at a variety of key players, who take part in the very heart of the regulatory process.

Financial Access and Stability
by The World BankThe countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have been recovering from the global financial crisis, but the recent political turmoil has interrupted the pace of credit and output recovery in many countries. The political turmoil in the MENA region reveals deep-seated frustrations and a sense of political, social, and economic exclusion, especially among the youth. The relatively weak growth performance reflects a combination of insufficient reforms and weak reform implementation, including financial sector reforms. The structural weaknesses of financial sectors imply that access to finance may remain restricted even with a full recovery of credit activity. Therefore, the region's countries face an ambitious reform agenda to revert two decades of relatively poor performance of output and employment growth. Financial development should be a central component of the region's growth agenda. This study reviews the region's financial systems, the severity of the limitations on access to finance, and the main factors behind such limitations. It goes on to provide a road map for expanding access and preserving financial stability.
Financial Accounting
by Joe Ben Hoyle C. J. SkenderThis book is suitable for an undergraduate or MBA level Financial Accounting course. If authorship matters (and we believe it is everything) then this book is destined to be a classic. There are no two better authors than these. Joe Ben Hoyle is co-author of two current market-leading advanced accounting textbooks with McGraw-Hill. He and and co-author CJ Skender are nationally recognized as master teachers. Both have won numerous teaching awards, and both were recently recognized by BusinessWeek as top undergraduate professors. The authors bring their collective teaching wisdom to bear in this book not by changing "the message"(financial accounting content), but by changing "the messenger" (the way the content is presented). The approach centers around utilizing the Socratic method, or simply put, asking and answering questions. The reason that this approach continues to be glorified after thousands of years is simple - it engages students and stresses understanding over memorization. So this text covers standard topics in a standard sequence, but does so through asking a carefully constructed series of questions along with their individual answers.
