Book Description
Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era provides a holistic approach to collaborative innovation, innovation management and innovation leadership. It is full of practical advice and includes 34 interviews with high-level politicians, innovation industry leaders, academics and entrepreneurs discussing the reality of innovation and how to create change for a positive impact. Many quotes are included from researchers and practitioners in the innovation field who have participated as guests in the author’s podcast “Business of Collaboration” or in interviews with the Collabwith Magazine which she produces. This is a powerful book full of practical frameworks and one-page canvases which act as reminders of the value of making needs and expectations explicit. The author provides frameworks and tools that can be used to support collaboration journeys across different sectors and organizations. She also offers clarity to the reader for their innovation journey and brings a new perspective on how to innovate and understand innovation. Jara Pascual focuses on the importance of managing emotions and feelings of frustration which can be very common during a collaborative innovation process. She explores the interaction between Emotional Intelligence and business and shows how to remove and manage frustration and how to produce a positive outcome. Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era will empower the reader to take action and show how to change your conversation about innovation and collaboration. “Jara Pascual, with colleague Celia Avila-Rauch, has been able to distill and apply the ability model of emotional intelligence to the art and science of innovation and innovation leadership. In our work we note that feelings are not always facts but that emotions as a form of data. More than that, emotions can assist or facilitate with decision making, creativity and innovation rather than getting in the way, but only if leaders are “smart” about emotions and develop and deploy their emotional intelligence skills.” Dr David R Caruso, Emotional Intelligence Skills Group, Founder Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Research Affiliate

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Description
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Book Description
En este libro de texto se afronta el aprendizaje del emprendimiento como actitud. Se trata de movilizar en los alumnos que cursan la Formación Profesional Básica todo un conjunto de competencias, actitudes y conocimientos que son propios del mismo hecho de emprender, pero que además son comunes y habituales en la vida personal y profesional de los individuos: la responsabilidad, la iniciativa, el trabajo en equipo, la comunicación, etcétera. La incorporación por parte de algunas Administraciones educativas de este módulo en los ciclos de Formación Profesional Básica es consecuencia de la Ley 14/2013, de 27 de septiembre, de apoyo a los emprendedores y su internacionalización. Las características del alumnado de dichos ciclos se han tenido en cuenta por parte de los autores tanto en la redacción de los epígrafes como en el planteamiento didáctico de las actividades y las tareas propuestas. Bajo el subtítulo de La importancia de llamarse emprendedor,los autores han ido organizando los contenidos de la obra, que se estructura en once unidades planteadas como un itinerario competencial de la persona desde la iniciativa y la inspiración (que son el punto de partida de todo proyecto personal) hasta la autonomía y la autorrealización como propósito individual. Para ello, las unidades presentan una estructura en la que se parte de una lectura inicial introductoria, tras la cual se presentan los contenidos de forma clara e ilustrados con diversos esquemas que ayudan a su comprensión; también se aportan numerosas y motivadoras actividades propuestas, se acompaña la explicación con curiosidades y llamadas refl ejadas en los cuadros de Sabías que... y Recuerda, se definen los conceptos más complejos en los cuadros deVocabulario y se incluyen citas de algún emprendedor que aporta su punto de vista sobre lo trabajado en los apartados de La frase. Además, al fi nal de cada unidad se incluye una actividad denominada La importancia de llamarse..., en la que el alumno deberá descubrir la identidad de un emprendedor conocido a partir de una imagen y una pista. Al final de cada unidad se incluye un práctico mapa conceptual, que permitirá repasar y fijar lo aprendido en ella, además de test de repaso, una dinámica de grupo y un apartado denominado Emprende, para trabajar y reflexionar sobre los conceptos estudiados de manera amena y práctica a través de un crucigrama realizado sobre aspectos tratados en la unidad y con la visualización de películas o fragmentos de ellas y su análisis a través de un cuestionario. Además, se pone a disposición de los usuarios un aula virtual que ofrece un conjunto de útiles recursos digitales (archivos, documentos, presentaciones, vídeos e infografías) y desde la que se podrá acceder a eventuales actualizaciones de los contenidos. También ofrece la posibilidad a profesores y a alumnos de generar un cuaderno de trabajo con actividades evaluadas con trazabilidad. El acceso a esta es posible enviando una solicitud a [email protected].

Book Description
How can management be developed to create the greatest wealth for society as a whole? This is the question Peter Drucker sets out to answer in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. A brilliant, mould-breaking attack on management orthodoxy it is one of Drucker’s most important books, offering an excellent overview of some of his main ideas. He argues that what defines an entrepreneur is their attitude to change: ‘the entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it and exploits it as an opportunity’. To exploit change, according to Drucker, is to innovate. Stressing the importance of low-tech entrepreneurship, the challenge of balancing technological possibilities with limited resources, and the organisation as a learning organism, he concludes with a vision of an entrepreneurial society where individuals increasingly take responsibility for their own learning and careers. With a new foreword by Joseph Maciariello
