Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Socioecological Challenges: Sustainable Transformations Globally and in the EU (Routledge Studies in Sustainable Development)
by Anders Siig Andersen Henrik Hauggaard-Nielsen Thomas Budde Christensen Lars HulgaardThis book explores interdisciplinary perspectives on socioecological challenges and offers innovative solutions at both a European and global level. This book critically reflects on the latest scientific knowledge regarding the increasing instability of the Earth System caused by human activities during the Anthropocene and the Great Acceleration. It focuses on the global and European challenges regarding climate, resources, bio-integrity, and environment. The authors assess the obstacles to overcoming these challenges and examine the risks posed by path dependencies, lock-ins, and trade-offs between global and regional goals. They also drill down into the complexities of the European Green Deal, specifically the similarities and differences between the scientific analyses and recommendations from the European Environment Agency and the content of the Deal. Finally, the book looks at the Just Transition put forward by the European Green Deal. The authors discuss this in a context of global and European ecological and socioecological challenges and put the question of equality, recognition, and democratization at the center. Outlining new pathways to broaden the scope of scientific collaboration between the natural and technical sciences and the social sciences and the humanities, this volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainable development, environmental policy and governance, and environmental justice.

Interdisciplinary Research for Sustainable Business: Perspectives of Women Business Scholars (Strategies for Sustainability)
by Beate Sjåfjell Maja Van der Velden Roseanne RussellThis volume brings together contributions from women business scholars from a range of disciplines and countries. The starting point was a collaborative research meeting organised by Daughters of Themis: International Network of Female Business Scholars in June 2017. The volume highlights the difficulties and the possibilities that lie in working together across disciplines with the aim of achieving corporate sustainability. The volume is written from the perspective of women business scholars, thereby offering outside viewpoints in fields that still are very much dominated by men, and fresh insights and innovate ideas. In three main parts, the authors address the need for interdisciplinarity in research to identify ways to ensure the contribution of business to sustainability, showcasing a number of theoretical and applied approaches for researching sustainable business. The volume ‘s introductory chapter situates the volume in discourses of sustainability and corporate sustainability. It presents the Daughters of Themis Network and provides a short description of the successive eleven chapters. In Part I, Reflections, contributors discuss the significance of interdisciplinary research, how to work across disciplines, as well as the challenges of doing so. In Part II, Theory, contributors discuss theoretical and methodological aspects of interdisciplinary research. Part III presents the Practice of interdisciplinary research. In the introductory chapter, the editors reflect on the insights that can be drawn out of the contributions, and discuss the potential for future developments of interdisciplinary research for sustainability, as well as how interdisciplinary research can be communicated.

Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management: Proceedings of the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management (IRTM, 2022), 24-26th February 2022, Kolkata, India
by Satyajit Chakrabarti Rohit Singh Pradipta Kumar Banerji Sanghamitra Poddar Malay Gangopadhyaya Ashiq A. Sakib Anupam Bhattacharya Srijita ChakrabortyWe live in an inter-connected world. In the era of Industry 4.0, technology is getting embedded more and more in the way ‘we learn, live, work, and play’. This progression is accelerating at a pace never seen before. Interdisciplinary and collaborative research across disciplines within the Technology domain and Management domain, and across the Technology-Management interface is opening up exciting new possibilities for solving problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline, domain or practice, and helping to create a brave new world. The goal of this conference was to bring together scholars, researchers, consultants, and practitioners to share their interdisciplinary research and consultative work in Technology and Management. Selected papers were then peer-reviewed and authors were invited to present their work in the conference.
Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management: Proceedings of the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management (IRTM, 2023), 30th March-1st April 2023, New Delhi, India
by Satyajit Chakrabarti Sanghamitra Poddar Malay Gangopadhyaya Ashiq A. Sakib Anupam Bhattacharya Souti ChattopadhyayIRTM 2023We live in an inter-connected world. In the era of Industry 5.0, technology is getting embedded more and more in the way ‘we learn, live, work and play’.This progression is accelerating at a pace never seen before. Inter disciplinary and collaborative research across disciplines within the Technology domain and Management domain, and across the Technology — Management interface is opening up exciting new possibilities for solving problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline, domain or practice, and helping to create a brave, new world. We are living in an incredible time of change.Our effort to hold such an interdisciplinary conference, in the virtual mode, apparently resonated across the academic community, as was evident from the huge response that the first ever conference on “Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management”, (IRTM) held in February 2021 had received from participants across many countries. This has encouraged the organizers to hold the next edition of the conference physically in Kolkata on a larger scale in the online mode.The pandemic unleashed by Covid 19 in the last two years has shaken the socio-economic foundations of countries and societies to a point where the world cannot be the same as before the pandemic. It has re-focused the world’s attention on the priority of healthcare, and healthcare infrastructure and its innovative management.Inevitably, questions have again been raised more vehemently on what kind of a world we want to live in. Environmental concerns are being pursued with renewed vigour, The urgency of developing new, robust infrastructure relevant for the new world is gaining wider consensus.By 2030, as reports suggest, cyber – physical systems, internet of things and wearable technology will be everywhere and in everything, renewable energy will power the world, and digital entertainment will take centre stage among other developments.The third edition of the conference on “Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management” attempts to spotlight the above concerns. The number of tracks on which papers are invited from scholars, researchers, consultants and practitioners to share their interdisciplinary research and consultative work has been enlarged. As before, the papers will be peer reviewed and authors of the selected papers will be invited to present their papers in the IRTM conference.The presentation of papers will be interspersed with Keynote Talks by eminent experts on the theme of the conference or individual domains.

Interessenwidersprüche und Komplexität im Kontext der Organisationskommunikation
by Timo LenkInteressen- und Erwartungswidersprüche sind ein wesentliches Merkmal komplexer Gesellschaften, die unter dem Druck rapider Veränderungen stehen. Sie prägen alle Formen von Organisationen, die von außen wie von innen mit einer Vielzahl heterogener, teils unvereinbarer Interessen und Erwartungen konfrontiert sind: Unternehmen sollen klimaneutral werden, aber weiterhin profitorientiert wirtschaften, die Politik soll gesellschaftliche Transformation vorantreiben, ohne Wohlstand und Arbeitsplätze zu gefährden, und NGOs agieren im Kontext widerstreitender geopolitischer Interessen. Ausgehend von Paradoxie-Perspektiven in der Organisationsforschung und mithilfe der Komplexitäts- und Assemblage-Theorie ergründet die Arbeit die soziale Komplexität solcher Interessen- und Erwartungswidersprüche. Im Fokus steht dabei die Organisationskommunikation. Durch internationale und interdisziplinäre Bezüge deckt die Arbeit die Vielfalt und Mehrdimensionalität solcher Widersprüche auf. Explorative Experteninterviews mit Berater*innen geben Einblick in konkrete Interessen- und Erwartungswidersprüche und die vertrackten Situationen, die sich daraus für Organisationen ergeben.

Interest Rate Derivatives Explained: Volume 2
by Jörg Kienitz Peter CaspersThis book on Interest Rate Derivatives has three parts. The first part is on financial products and extends the range of products considered in Interest Rate Derivatives Explained I. In particular we consider callable products such as Bermudan swaptions or exotic derivatives. The second part is on volatility modelling. The Heston and the SABR model are reviewed and analyzed in detail. Both models are widely applied in practice. Such models are necessary to account for the volatility skew/smile and form the fundament for pricing and risk management of complex interest rate structures such as Constant Maturity Swap options. Term structure models are introduced in the third part. We consider three main classes namely short rate models, instantaneous forward rate models and market models. For each class we review one representative which is heavily used in practice. We have chosen the Hull-White, the Cheyette and the Libor Market model. For all the models we consider the extensions by a stochastic basis and stochastic volatility component. Finally, we round up the exposition by giving an overview of the numerical methods that are relevant for successfully implementing the models considered in the book.
