Abstract

Public goods are typically defined only in reference to the good itself but, as this book argues, the public goods can be better understood if contextual variables are incorporated. This book discusses the production and provision of public goods. It asserts that changes related to public goods are better understood if the category of goods are not decided solely by the properties of the good itself. We also need to focus on how the enabled utility of a good is influenced by the production and the provision of the good. The book opens with a brief introduction to common conceptions of public goods and a review of the existing literature - highlighting the limitations of current definitions of public goods. It presents a new multi-layered approach to public goods. This has implications for the discourse on public goods and for our understanding of the societal and environmental impact of public goods. The implications are illustrated in several areas; public goods in ancient history, privatization, innovation, competitiveness and prices, democracy and political standards, and economic growth. The book provides a provocative argument for a new way to analyze public goods which will appeal to scholars and students interested in the economic analysis of public goods, arguments regarding the privatizing or nationalizing of production and services, and method of modelling and measuring sustainable business activities.

Abstract

"Promoting more responsible action in relation to business sustainability, this book addresses the increasing discomfort among faculty members and wider society as to how business schools prepare students for the future. Reflective and inspiring, it seeks to motivate the necessary action which may be a small but crucial catalysts to solving challenges posed by increasing globalisation, migration, economic development, changing demographics, and cultural exchange. Split into four thematic sections, chapters throughout explore the global issues that have simultaneously fuelled business opportunities while creating new challenges for sustainability. The book begins with a fresh perspective on the sustainability challenges posed by dysfunctional capitalism, before addressing central challenges for sustainable human resource management and psycho-social working life issues. It moves on to look at efforts to incorporate a responsible and sustainable perspective on business management. Finally, outlining the key sustainable challenges in teaching, research and innovation, it evaluates how business schools are managing the expectation to adopt a responsible and sustainable business perspective in research, course designs and teaching. Speaking to the growing call for business schools to prioritise sustainable, ethical practices, this book will be essential reading for lecturers, practitioners and scholars engaging with sustainable solutions to environmental concerns related to business, geography, urban planning, policy and management"--
