Hybrid Economic-Environmental Accounts (Routledge Studies In Ecological Economics Ser. #17)
by Massimiliano Mazzanti Valeria Costantini Anna MontiniNational Accounting Matrices of Environmental Accounts (NAMEA) tables are used to analyze a range of environmental pressures and economic data resulting from consumption and production patterns – helping us gain a far better notion of the consequences of individuals’, households’ and firms’ actions for the world we live in. This book deals with the increasingly complex issues of hybrid environmental and economic accounts. The perspective of environmental accounting for the analysis of the relationships between the economic and environmental systems, especially regarding the satellite accounts like NAMEA, is relatively recent, and partly derives from the conceptual and applied deficits that have emerged during the setting up of green GDP or GNP measures as alternative measures of accounting. NAMEA provides a comprehensive and integrated picture of the economic system in association with the environmental system (physical pressures such as emissions) by a sector classification. This book is an integrated collection of complementary papers that revolve around the issue of environment-economic accounting In the first part a historical background and empirical issues related to the NAMEA-type table definitions and estimations open the book, followed by some applications and analyses mainly applied to a sub-national level. The second part opens the window to international case studies for different EU countries and studies with methodological insights. These policy-oriented, original works are primarily from an applied perspective, although theoretical aspects are also fully developed. The book should be of use to Environmental and Ecological economics students and researchers, as well as those studying the more general field of Environment studies.

Hybrid Governance, Organisations and Society: Value Creation Perspectives
by Jarmo VakkuriThe era of hybrid governance is here. More and more organizations occupy a position between public and private ownership. And value is created not through business or public interests alone, but through distinct forms of hybrid governance. National governments are looking to transform their administrative systems to become more business driven. Likewise, private enterprises are seeing value gains in promoting public interest in their corporate social responsibility programs. But how can we conceptualize, evaluate and measure the value and performance of hybrid governance and organizations? This book offers a comprehensive overview of how hybrids produce value. It explores the drivers, obstacles and complications for value creation in different hybrid contexts: state-owned enterprises, urban policy-making, universities and non-profits from around the world. The authors address several types of value contents, for instance financial, social and public value. Furthermore, the book provides a novel way of understanding multiple forms of doing value in hybrid settings. The book explains mixing, compromising and legitimising as important mechanisms of value creation. Aimed at researchers and students of public management, public administration, business management, corporate social responsibility and governance, this book provides a theoretical, conceptual and empirical understanding of value creation in hybrid organizations. It is also an invaluable overview of performance evaluation and measurement systems and practices in hybrid organizations and governance.

Hybrid Knowledge in the Early East India Company World (Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies Series)
by Anna WinterbottomHybrid Knowledge in the Early East India Company World presents a new interpretation of the development of the English East India Company between 1660 and 1720. The book explores the connections between scholarship, patronage, diplomacy, trade, and colonial settlement in the early modern world. Links of patronage between cosmopolitan writers and collectors and scholars associated with the Royal Society of London and the universities are investigated. Winterbottom shows how innovative works of scholarship – covering natural history, ethnography, theology, linguistics, medicine, and agriculture - were created amid multi-directional struggles for supremacy in Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic. The role of non-elite actors including slaves in transferring knowledge and skills between settlements is explored in detail.

Hybrid Organizations: New Business Models for Environmental Leadership
by Andrew J. Hoffman Brewster Boyd Nina Henning Emily Reyna Daniel Wang Matthew WelchThis book offers a glimpse into the future. The companies it describes are pioneers, the first-movers in market shifts that will eventually become mainstream. These "hybrid organizations" – or what others call "values-driven" or "mission-driven" organizations – operate in the blurry space between the for-profit and non-profit worlds. They are redefining their supply chains, their sources of capital, their very purpose for being; and in the process they are changing the market for others. Using a combination of high-level survey analysis and, more importantly, in-depth executive interviews, the book helps fill the present gap in literature on environmentally focused and financially driven for-profit businesses. Moreover, it highlights key trends and critical themes that enable this new wave of socially conscious and fiscally minded enterprises to be successful in meeting both sets of goals. The takeaway for readers of this book is not only an appreciation for common business practices that hybrid organizations adopt, but also an understanding of the complexity of the integration of such adoption that allows them to successfully achieve both mission- and market-driven goals. The book begins with key definitions to establish the scope of this new sector, including explicit definitions for hybrid organizations, environmental sustainability missions, as well as specific criteria to create useful boundaries for the field of hybrid organizations. Building on prior work conducted by researchers on corporate social responsibility, sustainable entrepreneurship, and social enterprise, the book catalogues the best practices within this growing sector, helping others to learn from both the successes and failures of those that are choosing this strategy. The core of the book is built on an analysis of survey data from 47 hybrid organizations, investigating their business models and strategies, finances, organizational structures, processes, metrics, and innovations. The organizations represent a cross-section of size, age, industry, and geography, although the sample set is biased towards young, small, U.S.-based hybrids. Based on analysis of the survey data, five best-in-class companies were selected for in-depth case studies in order to provide instructive lessons for hybrid practitioners and researchers alike. In short, this book presents research that shows hybrid organizations to be a practical and feasible organizational model for contributing solutions to global environmental issues. The lessons in this book will help other social entrepreneurs, business managers, non-profit leaders, or students interested in careers that fuse profitability and responsibility do it even better.
Hybrid Predictive Control for Dynamic Transport Problems
by Alfredo Nunez Doris Saez Cristián E. CortésHybrid Predictive Control for Dynamic Transport Problems develops methods for the design of predictive control strategies for nonlinear-dynamic hybrid discrete-/continuous-variable systems. The methodology is designed for real-time applications, particularly the study of dynamic transport systems. Operational and service policies are considered, as well as cost reduction. The control structure is based on a sound definition of the key variables and their evolution. A flexible objective function able to capture the predictive behaviour of the system variables is described. Coupled with efficient algorithms, mainly drawn from area of computational intelligence, this is shown to optimize performance indices for real-time applications. The framework of the proposed predictive control methodology is generic and, being able to solve nonlinear mixed integer optimization problems dynamically, is readily extendable to other industrial processes. The main topics of this book are: · hybrid predictive control (HPC) design based on evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO); · HPC based on EMO for dial-a-ride systems; and · HPC based on EMO for operational decisions in public transport systems. Hybrid Predictive Control for Dynamic Transport Problems is a comprehensive analysis of HPC and its application to dynamic transport systems. Introductory material on evolutionary algorithms is presented in summary in an appendix. The text will be of interest to control and transport engineers working on the operational optimization of transport systems and to academic researchers working with hybrid systems. The potential applications of the generic methods presented here to other process fields will make the book of interest to a wider group of researchers, scientists and graduate students working in other control-related disciplines.

Hybrid Securities: Structuring, Pricing and Risk Assessment
by Kamil Liberadzki Marcin Liberadzki<p>Hybrid capital securities or 'hybrids' offer various benefits. They offer flexibility equity without shareholder dilution, provide protection to senior creditors, are a stable source of long-term funding for healthy companies, and help insurers and banks meet regulatory and rating agency capital requirements. Risks and features of hybrid securities are expressed in the credit spread of some relatively new financial instruments, but no structural fundamentals exist for to price hybrids precisely. <p>This book proposes a model for the pricing of hybrids. It begins by explaining the concept of hybrids as well as their equity- and debt-like characteristics. Different types of hybrids are presented, including preference shares, convertible bonds, contingent convertibles (CoCos) and bail-in bonds. The authors then present analysis of regulatory regimes' impact on hybrids. They discuss the types of hybrid bonds that are contemplated in the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and Banking Union mechanism. They then present an in-depth examination of hybrids pricing and risk assessment techniques. The book provides a comprehensive analysis from mathematical, legal and financial perspectives in order to look at relatively new financial instruments and address problems with the pricing models of hybrids which are as yet unsolved.</p>

Hybride Events: Zukunft und Herausforderung für Live-Kommunikation (essentials)
by Colja M. Dams Stefan LuppoldColja M. Dams und Stefan Luppold zeigen anhand von Beispielen, wie es gelingt, neben der Kontaktintensitat des Events gleichzeitig die Kontaktreichweite wesentlich zu erhohen, indem das Live-Erlebnis mit den Moglichkeiten der digitalen Kommunikation im Internet als hybride Events kombiniert wird. Die Autoren skizzieren die Zukunft fur hybride Events und stellen zehn Grundregeln fur deren Einsatz auf. Denn der vielzitierte Paradigmenwechsel in der Kommunikation hat langst stattgefunden. Nicht mehr die absenderorientierten Botschaften der Marken- oder Produktwelt stehen im Vordergrund, sondern der Dialog mit den Zielgruppen. Das Event aber bleibt der Ort, an dem die personlichen Bedurfnisse und damit die Individualitat der Konsumenten am besten erkannt und bedient werden konnen. "

Hybride ökonomische Akteure und Organisationen: Anomalien, Normalität oder Artefakte – eine Annäherung
by Michael-Burkhard PiorkowskyAußerhalb der ökonomischen Standardliteratur wird in wirtschafts- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachgemeinschaften schon länger über hybride ökonomische Akteure und Organisationen gesprochen, geschrieben und diskutiert. Allerdings sind die Begründungen für die Zuschreibung von Hybridität in den hier untersuchten Fällen weder einheitlich noch stets nachvollziehbar.In diesem Buch wird ein institutionenökonomischer Zugriff für die Analyse von ökonomischer Hybridität gewählt, der sich an der Theorie der Wohlfahrtsproduktion von Wolfgang Zapf und der Unterscheidung institutioneller ökonomischer Sektoren im Europäischen System der Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnung orientiert.Der Autor verdeutlicht damit klar nachvollziehbar und theoretisch fundiert die Gestalt- und Formbarkeit der Ökonomie durch die personalen Akteure in ihren organisatorischen Kontexten. Er schließt damit an die Argumentation seines Buches "Ökonomie ist menschlich" aus dem Jahr 2020 an.
