Illustrating this view with examples from ecology, healthcare and education, the author calls for a more entrepreneurial spirit in analysing the relationship between competition and ethics. This book delivers important arguments for the ethics of innovation, using a combination of theoretical and practical evidence to support it.

Researchers and scholars of economics, business, philosophy and politics will greatly benefit from the fresh interdisciplinary perspectives and thorough exploration of the complex relationship between modern competition and ethics.

The Elgar Companion to Applied AI Ethics explores the principles and notions that stakeholders confront in the development and implementation of AI technologies. Chapters examine the EU and US approaches to AI legalization, and question the extent to which different legal strategies adopted by Western governments foster a common international understanding of AI regulation. Diverse case studies of applied AI are discussed, covering autonomous driving, digital finance, AI and education, virtual cities, video games, and social robots. Ultimately, the Companion emphasizes the importance of incorporating non-Western perspectives into the global discourse on AI ethics and highlights the need to create effective frameworks which prevent AI solutions from negatively impacting individuals’ mental health.

This Companion is an invaluable resource for legal students and academics working in AI, information technology, social sciences, computer sciences, and human rights. Its practical implications for the future of technology will also be of interest to professionals working in international public policy and management staff concerned with digital ethics.

This volume explores the concept of the honest merchant, taking a broad perspective and covering a wide range of aspects. It looks at the different types of “honest merchant” conceptions originating from different cultures and literary traditions. The book covers Japanese, Islamic, Scandinavian, Russian, German, Spanish, as well as other aspects, and studies different disciplinary backgrounds of the honest merchant, such as philosophical, economic, neuroethical, sociological and literary ones.The concept of the honest merchant has a long tradition in business ethics. In the Hanseatic League and in medieval Italy, the ideal of the honest businessman was taught since the late Middle Ages. It originated during a time when travelling merchants were often regarded with a sceptical eye. The honest merchants of their time however held clear principles in their business and took responsibility for their community. In later times, the religious notions of the concept lost their pivotal place to reason and morality. This book goes beyond the tradition of discussing business ethics in association with concepts from the Hanseatic League and medieval Italy, and puts the central concept of business ethics in a much greater perspective.

This edited collection brings together experts from various disciplines to engage critically with diversity theory, diversity politics, and their practical application. Accordingly, the volume provides a provocative discursive space, where the key theoretical as well as practical problems of diversity in business, institutions and culture can speak to each other and can be assessed. The aim is to bridge the gap between two relatively distinct discourses: the discourse on practical applications of diversity concepts and the discourse on theoretical approaches to diversity. This selection of articles delivers the first step towards achieving this goal. Approaching diversity from a business perspective, the chapters discuss its ramifications on democratic institutions and theory, as well as point to its relevance in didactic and educational settings.

This book describes cutting edge technology using supercritical fluids for the production of foodstuffs, medicals, and polymers. It illustrates the importance and use of basic data for design and operation at industrial scale units.

The book''s authors have several decades of experience of applied research on how to develop large scale industrial units. It provides readers complete insight in design and operation of industrial high pressure process plants.

The book is written so it may be understood for people (with?) little or no background on high pressure process technology. It will provide information on how some foodstuffs, medicals, polymers are produced using high pressure technologies.

The book demonstrates the importance of fundamental data, how to measure them and how to apply them to design industrial plants. At the same time, it also serves as a textbook for students.

​Das Ideal des ehrbaren Kaufmanns hat eine lange Tradition. In Europa wurden Tugenden wie Ehrlichkeit und Verlässlichkeit seit dem Mittelalter in Handbüchern für Kaufleute gelehrt. Das Leitbild des ehrbaren Kaufmannes, welches das Vertrauen in die Integrität des Handelspartners in das Zentrum rückte, entstand in einer Zeit, in der Kaufleute Reisende waren, denen man überwiegend mit Skepsis begegnete.
