Book Description
Since the latter half of the 2000s, green growth and green industry have been centered on government policy. Green growth is interpreted as the more developed version of sustainable development to harmonize economic growth and environmental protection. At the very core area, green industry has been positioned as an alternative to break through growth without employment or economic recession. Renewable energy such as PV (Photovoltaic) and wind power, etc. have also been major items in green industry. Therefore, most developed and even developing countries have exerted their national efforts to enhance the competitiveness of their green industries. However, the recent global economic recession triggered by some European countries' (e.g. PIGS: Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain) economic/financial crises drastically decreased the global renewable energy demand level, which is unlikely to recover soon.From other perspectives, the creative economy/industry has risen up mainly in developed countries such as the UK, Australia, Japan and even Korea. The creative economy/industry is not an absolutely new concept, but a modified one from innovation and creativity that has been the main spiritual force in the capitalist economic system. Yet, it is focused in a reshaped form of the core ruling concept of the economy that can break through recent growth without employment or economic recession. Though its concept is far from strict confinement and varies from country to country and author to author, its importance in the policy area cannot be diminished.The new government led by President Park in Korea has set the creative economy/industry as its core national agenda. Therefore, this article briefly reviews the concept of the creative economy/industry and its importance and relation to green business, especially renewable energy. In addition, some related foreign and domestic cases are also enumerated. Lastly, the article considers some of its policy implications.

Book Description
This book presents a dynamics model-based perspective for attaining the energy transitions by business model innovation. It examines how dynamic business modelling and innovation studies can assist in the sustainability transitions field, highlighting the role of technological innovation system (TIS) and dynamic performance management (DPM). In the last decade, renewables have operated in the context of emerging societal transitions. Indeed, one of the current challenges for the energy sector is to transform business models in tune with shifting societal and market conditions. This work shows how dynamic business modelling captures the feedback loops and the behaviour of performance measures to contribute the energy transitions. Besides, this book offers an in-depth discussion on innovation measurement to designing index of green technology, which it will prove useful to those studying management sciences, energy, innovation, and sustainability.

Book Description
Oil and coal have built our civilisation, created our wealth and enriched the lives of billions. Yet their rising costs to our security, economy, health and environment are starting to outweigh their benefits. Moreover, the tipping point where alternatives work better and compete purely on cost is not decades in the future - it is here and now. And that tipping point has become the fulcrum of economic transformation. In Reinventing Fire, Amory Lovins and the Rocky Mountain Institute offer a new vision to revitalise business models and win the clean energy race - not forced by public policy but led by business for long-term advantage. This independent and rigorous account offers market-based solutions integrating transportation, buildings, industry and electricity. It maps pathways for running a 158%-bigger US economy in 2050 but needing no oil, no coal, no nuclear energy, one-third less natural gas and no new inventions. This transition would cost $5 trillion less than business-as-usual - without counting fossil fuels' huge hidden costs. Whether you care most about profits and jobs, or national security, or environmental stewardship, climate, and health, Reinventing Fire makes sense. It's a story of astounding opportunities for creating the new energy era. -- Publisher description.
