Sustaining the Commons

This textbook discusses the main framework, concepts and applications of the work of Elinor Ostrom and her colleagues for an undergraduate audience. We began teaching a course on collective and the commons in 2007 at Arizona State University. Initially we made use of Ostrom's classic book “Governing the Commons”, but this book was not written for an undergraduate audience. Moreover, many new insights have been developed since the 1990 publication of “Governing the Commons”. Therefore we decided to write our own textbook, which we have been using since the Spring of 2012. In this book you will learn about institutions–the rules and norms that guide the interactions among us. Those rules and norms can be found from traffic rules, rules in sports, regulations on when and where alcohol can be consumed, to constitutional rules that define who can become president of the United States of America. Rules and norms guide us to cooperative outcomes of so-called collective action problems. If we rely on voluntary contributions only to get anything done, this may not lead to the best results. But research also shows that coercion of people to comply to strict rules do not necessary lead to good outcomes. What combination of sticks and carrots is needed to be successful to solve collective action problems such as sustaining the commons? The book is based on the work of Elinor Ostrom and her colleagues. Ostrom is best known as the 2009 co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economics “for her analysis of economic governance, especially the commons”. Elinor Ostrom was a professor at Indiana University since the mid 1960s, and a part-time research professor at Arizona State University since 2006. She was active in research and teaching until her death at the age of 78 on June 12, 2012.

Strategic Management and Case Analysis: An Integrated Approach

Strategic Management and Case Analysis: An Integrated Approach is intended for students in undergraduate business programs taking a course in strategic management. Because strategic management synthesizes many business topics and takes a holistic view of business, strategic management courses are often senior-level capstone courses. Most undergraduate business school students begin their business education with a broad introductory business course and then concentrate on courses in their major. Then they return to a broader lens of business to cap off their business education at a higher-level of learning. This textbook supports this level of comprehensive learning. If used with a senior-level capstone course, this textbook supports seniors to synthesize their business education through the lens of strategic management and helps them understand how businesses become successful by leveraging their competitive advantage. This textbook integrates strategic management and case analysis, with cases linked from an open access collection of business strategy cases, RMIT Strategic Management Case Studies. Students will get the most out of this textbook if it is used with cases that students analyze. Strategic Management and Case Analysis: An Integrated Approach, integrates strategic management as a research-led field of study and practice-informed area of business practice with an experiential learning approach to conducting a case analysis. The book explains how strategic leaders and managers analyze their firm’s organizational performance, and external and internal environments; formulate corporate level and business level strategy, and innovation, sustainability and ethics, technology, and multinational strategy, which are embedded in business level strategies; and implement strategy across an organization. Students are in an active and engaged role with the subject and practice of strategic management as they apply the theories, concepts, and analytical frameworks and tools of the field. The text teaches students how to conduct a case analysis and introduces Analysis Instruments that facilitate robust case analyses that are based on analysis, interpretation, and evaluation of data in a case. Instructors are supported with a platform of supplemental materials. The book illustrates how strategic management is relevant to multiple majors, at multiple stages in their careers, and in multiple work environments. This ensures that undergraduate students clearly understand how strategic management is relevant to them. Instructors reviewing, adopting, or adapting this textbook are asked to please help us understand your use of the material by filling out this form https://bit.ly/interest_strategicmanagementandcaseanalysis.

Advanced Business Law and the Legal Environment

Mayer, Warner, Siedel and Lieberman's Advanced Business Law and the Legal Environment is an up-to-date textbook with coverage of legal and regulatory issues that are more technical than the topics in the authors' Foundations of Business Law and the Legal Environment. Appropriate for students who have already taken an introductory Legal Environment or Business Law course, the text is organized to permit instructors to tailor the materials to their particular approach. The authors take special care to engage students by relating law to everyday events with which they are already familiar with their clear, concise and readable style. Advanced Business Law and the Legal Environment provides students with context and essential legal concepts relating to the Uniform Commercial Code and various aspects of property law. The text provides the vocabulary and legal savvy necessary for business people to talk in an educated way to their customers, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholders — and to their own lawyers.

Indigenous Perspectives on Business Ethics and Business Law in British Columbia

This book explores business ethics and business law through the lens of Indigenous-settler relations in Canada (with a focus on British Columbia in particular). It aims to fill a gap in business curriculum and support instructors who want to bring Indigenous content into their classes. The book starts by exploring relevant history, focusing on treaties, legislation, and federal government policy. It then looks at business ethics and what it means for businesses to work ethically with Indigenous communities. And finally, the book discusses business law and the requirements and responsibilities for businesses doing work on Indigenous lands.

Economics – Theory Through Applications

Russell Cooper and Andrew John have written an economics text aimed directly at students from its very inception. You're thinking, ”Yeah, sure. I've heard that before.“ This textbook, Economics: Theory Through Applications, centers around student needs and expectations through two premises: … Students are motivated to study economics if they see that it relates to their own lives. … Students learn best from an inductive approach, in which they are first confronted with a problem, and then led through the process of solving that problem. Many books claim to present economics in a way that is digestible for students; Russell and Andrew have truly created one from scratch. This textbook will assist you in increasing students' economic literacy both by developing their aptitude for economic thinking and by presenting key insights about economics that every educated individual should know. How? Russell and Andrew have done three things in this text to accomplish that goal: Applications Ahead of Theory: They present all the theory that is standard in Principles books. But by beginning with applications, students get to learn why this theory is needed. Learning through Repetition: Important tools appear over and over again, allowing students to learn from repetition and to see how one framework can be useful in many different contexts. A Student's Table of Contents vs. An Instructor's Table of Contents: There is no further proof that Russell and Andrew have created a book aimed specifically at educating students about economics than their two tables of contents.

Introduction to Financial Accounting - 2024-A-D

Introduction to Financial Accounting, originally by D. Annand and H. Dauderis, is intended for a first course in introductory financial accounting.

The textbook covers all essential topics, including: the accounting cycle; merchandising; assigning costs to inventory; cash and receivables; property, plant and equipment; debt financing; equity financing; statement of cash flows; financial statement analysis; and proprietorships and partnerships. The original Annand/Dauderis version of the textbook including .docx files and ancillary material remains available upon request to D. Annand ([email protected]).

Microeconomics: Theory Through Applications

Russell Cooper and Andrew John have written an economics text aimed directly at students from its very inception. You're thinking, ”Yeah, sure. I've heard that before.“ This textbook, Microeconomics: Theory Through Applications, centers around student needs and expectations through two premises: … Students are motivated to study economics if they see that it relates to their own lives. … Students learn best from an inductive approach, in which they are first confronted with a problem, and then led through the process of solving that problem. Many books claim to present economics in a way that is digestible for students; Russell and Andrew have truly created one from scratch. This textbook will assist you in increasing students' economic literacy both by developing their aptitude for economic thinking and by presenting key insights about economics that every educated individual should know. How? Russell and Andrew have done three things in this text to accomplish that goal: 1. Applications Ahead of Theory: They present all the theory that is standard in Principles books. But by beginning with applications, students get to learn why this theory is needed. The authors take the kind of material that other authors put in ”applications boxes“ and place it at the heart of their book. Each chapter is built around a particular business or policy application, such as minimum wages, the stock exchange, and auctions. Why take this approach? Traditional courses focus too much on abstract theory relative to the interests and capabilities of the average undergraduate. Students are rarely engaged and the formal theory is never integrated into the way students think about economic issues. And traditional books are organized around theoretical constructs that mean nothing to students. The authors' applications-first approach ensures that students will not see chapters with titles like ”Cost Functions“ or ”Short-Run Fluctuations“. They introduce tools and ideas as and when they are needed. Each chapter is designed with two goals. First, the application upon which the chapter is built provides a ”hook“ that gets students' attention. Second, the application is a suitable vehicle a vehicle for teaching the principles of economics. 2. Learning through Repetition: Important tools appear over and over again, allowing students to learn from repetition and to see how one framework can be useful in many different contexts. Each piece of economic theory in this text is first introduced and explained in the context of a specific application. Most are re-used in other chapters, so students see them in action on multiple occasions. As students progress through the book, they accumulate a set of techniques and ideas. These are collected separately in a ”toolkit“ that provides students with an easy reference and also gives them a condensed summary of economic principles for examination preparation. 3. A Student's Table of Contents vs. An Instructor's Table of Contents: There is no further proof that Russell and Andrew have created a book aimed specifically at educating students about economics than their two tables of contents. The Student's Table of Contents speaks to students, piquing their interest to involve them in the economics, and a Instructor's Table of Contents with the economics to better help you organize your teaching—and frankly, you don't need to get excited by economics, you already are.

Principles of Microeconomics: Scarcity and Social Provisioning

Principles of Microeconomics: Scarcity and Social Provisioning takes a pluralistic approach to the standard topics of an introductory microeconomics course. The text builds on the chiefly neoclassical material of the OpenStax Principles of Economics text, adding extensive content from heterodox economic thought. Emphasizing the importance of pluralism and critical thinking, the text presents the method and theory of neoclassical economics alongside critiques thereof and heterodox alternatives in both method and theory. This approach is taken from the outset of the text, where contrasting definitions of economics are discussed in the context of the various ways in which neoclassical and heterodox economists study the subject. The same approach–of theory and method, critique, and alternative theory theory and method–is taken in the study of consumption, production, and market exchange, as well as in the applied theory chapters. Historical and contemporary examples are given throughout, and both theory and application are presented with a balanced approach. This textbook will be of interest especially to instructors and students who wish to go beyond the traditional approach to the fundamentals of microeconomic theory, and explore the wider spectrum of economic thought. Instructors may contact Open Oregon Educational Resources for quiz question test banks associated with each chapter.

Pengantar Ilmu Ekonomi Pendekatan Makro dan Mikro

Menurut Samuelson (dalam Putong, 2002: 15) ilmu ekonomi adalah suatu studi bagaimana orang-orang dan masyarakat membuat pilihan, dengan atau tanpa penggunaan uang, dengan menggunakan sumber-sumber daya yang terbatas tetapi dapat dipergunakan dalam berbagai cara untuk menghasilkan berbagai jenis barang dan jasa dan mendistribusikannya untuk keperluan konsumsi, sekarang dan di masa datang, kepada berbagai orang dan golongan masyarakat (Putong, 2002: 15). Selain Samuelson, pakar ekonom Ekelund dan Tollison (dalam Alam, 2013: 4) juga mengatakan bahwa ilmu ekonomi adalah ilmu yang mempelajari cara individu dan masyarakat yang mempunyai keinginan yang tidak terbatas memilih untuk mengalokasikan sumber daya yang terbatas demi memenuhi keinginan mereka. Ilmu ekonomi menurut Sudarman (1980: 1) merupakan cabang ilmu sosial yang menaruh perhatian pada masalah bagaimana seharusnya memanfaatkan sumber daya yang terbatas jumlahnya untuk memuaskan kebutuhan manusia yang beraneka ragam.

Psikologi Bisnis - Paradigma Baru Mengelola Bisnis

Mengapa para eksekutif di bidang Human Resources (HR) masih sangat jarang yang sampai menduduki jabatan CEO (top eksekutif)? Apa yang kurang dimiliki oleh para profesional HR tersebut? Di satu pihak, para CEO dan pemilik usaha banyak mengeluhkan soal belum tercapainya standar harapan terhadap kualitas SDM. Di sisi lain, para profesional di bidang HR hanya berkutat di bidang fungsionalnya saja, tapi lemah dalam mengaitkan dan menghitung implikasinya terhadap pencapaian bottom line dan target-target bisnis di tingkat korporat. SDM yang konon merupakan inti dan aset perusahaan/organisasi tampaknya belum dikelola dengan cara-cara yang senafas dan seiring dengan kemauan pimpinan puncak (CEO) apalagi pemilik bisnis (business owner). Para profesional HR masih jarang bisa menjadi partner yang diandalkan, entah sebagai strategic partner apalagi business partner. Pengalaman membuktikan kata kuncinya adalah kompetensi Business Acumen yang lemah dan tingkat pengambilan resiko yang rendah. Kerangka Kerja Psikologi Bisnis (Business Psychology Framework) dibangun di atas pertemuan konstruktif pemikiran/gagasan dan pengetahuan yang berasal dari empat disiplin ilmu pengetahuan dan praktik, yakni Psikologi Industri dan Organisasi, Manajemen Bisnis, HR Strategic Management dan Ekonomi Keperilakuan (Behavioral Economics). Dengan kata lain, buku ini merupakan pendekatan interdisiplin antara disiplin Psikologi dan praktik Bisnis, yakni bagaimana Bisnis ditinjau dalam perspektif Psikologi, baik pada level individu, tim, organisasi maupun sosial dan bagaimana menjadikan Psikologi sebagai bisnis atau industri yang dibutuhkan dan bermanfaat bagi masyarakat modern (digital economy/IOT) di zaman now.
