This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of consumerism issues in the textile, apparel and fashion industry, illustrating the impact of consumerism on the sector with a focus on SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. The book presents a synthesis of mainstream and emerging thinking and studies on green, ethical, social and environmental issues. Currently, marketing practices place emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility. Although corporate strategies embrace this notion by claiming to be socially responsible and environmentally friendly, the truth is still debatable. In light of this, scholars and practitioners need to effectively and convincingly respond to consumer concerns on sustainability by adapting their business practices. Split into seven parts, the Handbook covers theoretical challenges on sustainable consumerism in the apparel industry, the influence of sustainable consumerism, conceptual frameworks and cross-cultural consumer behaviour, macro and micro issues, innovative trends, and communication. With discussion of pressing issues such as modern slavery, greenwashing, social media, luxury consumption and sustainable development, the book also illustrates the practical implications from a marketing and production point of view in this sector.

China's defense industrial base is moving to a wartime footing, while the United States is largely in a peacetime stance. Absent urgent changes, the United States risks weakening deterrence and undermining its warfighting capabilities against China and other competitors.

This two-volume edited work explores how businesses shape, and are shaped by, sustainability forces and phenomena. Major global developments are inexorably being led by a sustainability agenda, which, in itself constitutes an integral part of business evolution. And as context shapes content, shifts in society have gradually given rise to new regulations, new types of markets, environmental-excellence criteria for businesses, new economic standards, and a wide range of green technologies.Reflecting the purpose of the series, both volumes offer a cross-section of multi-disciplinary perspectives within business studies. Volume 1 focuses on strategic and managerial approaches to sustainability in business, including accounts on the historic origins of sustainability and its contemporary corporate sustainable models. Volume 2 explores, more contextually, how business and social sustainability constitute indivisible and inextricable components of the same nexus. Taken together, they offer an original perspective on how businesses can help achieve the SDG goals and targets.

"How do creative workers work? This book brings together insights from a range of relevant disciplines to help answer this significant research question. Featuring case studies from the European context, contributors tap into the experiences and practices from creative workers, demonstrating their attempts to navigate a changing environment which affects spaces, identities, and professional roles. A cross-disciplinary re-thinking of work, labour processes and management practices in the creative and cultural industries, the book offers perspectives on the importance of highlighting creative work as a phenomenon and practice beyond a particular industry, market, or public sector. Providing an opportunity to expand our conception of what creative work is, the book draws on evidence from a range of examples including the seaweed industry, children's writing, and rented spaces that operate like creative hubs. The result is a volume that will interest advanced students and scholars with an interest in the creative industries"--
