Business Under Crisis Volume I: Contextual Transformations by Demetris Vrontis
English | EPUB | 2022 | 291 Pages | ISBN : 3030765660 | 2.6 MB
This book examines businesses under crisis conditions through a composition of contextual accounts. The Editors argue that crises are transformative, evolutionary and even revolutionary in the development of organizations, industries and markets. Moreover, crises reform the context in which organizations operate, including customers and their behaviour. As such, they need to be viewed as conduits to change, accelerators of evolution and catalysts of innovation in organizations. Emphasising the importance of 'context' and its complexities, the book argues that for crisis, as a concept and notion, context is crucial to any understanding of the meaning that should or could be attached to it.

Building Renovation: How to Retrofit and Reuse Existing Buildings to Save Energy and Respond to New Needs by Manuela Grecchi
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 127 Pages | ISBN : 3030898350 | 28.5 MB
This book reviews the building renovation process by systematizing the phases of analysis and prior knowledge through a project that not only considers energy savings but also thoroughly examines complex issues, such as defining the correct new functions and answers to new needs. The urgency of climate change and the many problems associated with the excessive use of energy are forcing a reorganization of the renovation process with an interest in reusing existing buildings with a more sustainable approach. The adaptive transformation of old buildings has become a dominant theme in many urban renewal projects.
