Strategies for Achieving Food Security in Central Asia
by Hami Alpas Asylbek Kulmyrzaev Madeleine SmithFood Security is a primary concern for all countries. However the vulnerabilities which need addressing are dictated by the individual country according to the food control systems in place, the nature of the food industry and the culture of the country. This book summarises the presentations of a NATO Advanced Training Course addressing the issue of food security in Central Asia. The book is divided into two sections. The first provides an overview of the existing aspects of food security in participating Central Asian countries. The emphasis here is on food safety, control and access and includes background information on the relevant food industries. Participating countries include the Kyrgyz Republic, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The second section explores particular aspects of food security in participating NATO countries. These provide some insight into the value, strengths and weaknesses of common food security systems. Chapters cover HACCP, ISO/IEC 17025 standards and associated pre-requisite systems, allergies and food intolerances, risk perception and communication, training, and ethics. A chapter on food defence in the USA is also included. This book is suitable for anyone with an interest in food control systems and food security.
Strategies for Circular Economy and Cross-sectoral Exchanges for Sustainable Building Products: Preventing and Recycling Waste (Springer Tracts in Civil Engineering)
by Marco Migliore Cinzia Talamo Giancarlo PaganinThis book offers a valuable tool for understanding current efforts to promote the reuse and enhancement of pre-consumer waste in the development of new products for the construction sector, as well as the financial and regulatory tools being used to support this trend. It explores the vast and complex topic of the circular economy from the perspective of strategies for the reuse/recycling of waste, and develops a number of key premises: waste reuse/recycling must be considered using a logic of cross-sectoriality, recognizing the need to enhance the “dialogue” between different sectors; pre-consumer waste is particularly interesting for the recycling market because the construction sector can reduce its environmental impacts by enhancing its capacity to use secondary raw materials and by-products from other sectors; and lastly, the manufacturing sector is currently experimenting with promising forms of reducing/recycling pre-consumer waste and is at the same time providing by-products that can be used in other production chains. As such, the book offers a valuable asset for professionals who are interested in sustainability in construction, and in the study of construction products; however, it will be equally useful for local decision-makers tasked with implementing development policies and innovations in the industrial sector.

Strategische Onlinekommunikation
by Olaf Hoffjann Thomas PleilOnlinekommunikation und speziel Social Media sind als besonders wichtige Herausforderungen des Kommunikationsmanagements erkannt. Kaum ein Unternehmen verzichtet mittlerweile auf die Beobachtung von Diskussionen im Internet und die Umsetzung eigener Kommunikationsstrategien im Social Web. Dort verändern sich für die PR und die Organisationskommunikation zentrale Aspekte: Öffentlichkeiten können heute sehr viel schneller entstehen. Es sind neue Formen der Meinungsbildung zu beobachten, die zunehmend weniger den Mechanismen der Massenkommunikation folgen, sondern Ergebnis netzwerkartiger Prozesse sind. In diesem Umfeld entstehen gleichzeitig neue Formen der Beteiligung, die durch entsprechende niederschwellige Instrumente im Internet erst ermöglicht werden. Aus Organisationssicht verändern sich damit unter anderem Entstehung und Pflege von Reputation oder das Management von Stakeholderbeziehungen. Zehn Jahre nach Beginn der Fachdiskussion zu PR und sozialen Medien gibt dieser Band auf Basis aktueller Untersuchungen Einblick in die Praxis und in aktuelle Herausforderungen der Organisationskommunikation im Internet.

Strategy Analytics for Business Resilience Theories and Practices (Information Systems Engineering and Management #33)
by Sandeep Kautish Álvaro Rocha Ankur Gupta Sahil SawhneyA strategy is a blueprint of actions taken by managers to achieve the organization’s mission and vision and other long-term goals. In long term, strategy determines the success of an organization. While evaluating strategy, a company is essentially asking itself, “Where we are heading to and how we will achieve our goals?” Strategy Analytics is a relatively new field in conjunction with Strategic Management and Business Intelligence. Generally, Strategic Management field deals with the enhancement of the decision-making capabilities of managers. Typically, such decision-making processes are heavily dependent upon various internal and external reports. Managers need to develop their strategies using clear strategy processes supported by the increasing availability of data. This situation calls for a different approach to strategy, such as integration with analytics, as the science of extracting value from data and structuring complex problems. The term Strategic Analytics implies decisions are made, resources are invested, and plans for data and analytics are created based on the needs and critical questions a business is facing. The need for analytical solutions in today’s business environment is crucial because they allow users to think strategically about how an organization builds its core competencies and creates value. This not only informs the entire process, saves a lot of time, effort, and money, but also leads to value creation. This book will be one reference source to academic fraternity, management practitioners, business analysts and research students who are interesting in Strategic Analytics domain and using it in their research/practice work. In addition, the proposed book will be serving as state-of-art documentation of Strategy Analytics, its present role around organizational outcomes and outlines the need for greater integration in organization strategy and analytics for better strategic decision processes to measure corporate performance and business value creation. Distinguished Features of the proposed book State-of-art documentation of Strategy Analytics for Business Resilience and their applications for all levels of managerial positions. Excellent reference material for academic scientists, researcher and research scholars working in modern Strategy Analytics and Information Systems. This book will showcase the recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as applied challenges encountered, and solutions adopted in the fields of Strategy Analytics
Strategy and Performance of Water Supply and Sanitation Providers: UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis
by Marco SchoutenThe continuous growth in the demand for water supply and sanitation services has posed decision makers with the challenge to discover new, and to adapt existing, institutions. Since the last two decades, the most prominent institutional change for the water and sanitation sector is neo-liberalism. This book analyses the effects of neo-liberal institutional changes on the strategies and performances of water providers. In this regard, studies are executed in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, the United Kingdom and Italy on what water providers can do, want to do and actually do. It is concluded that neo-liberal institutional changes matter for the strategies of water providers, but that no conclusion can be reached with respect to performance effects.
