Unpacking IKEA - Pauline (national University Of Ireland Maynooth Garvey - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Unpacking IKEA - Pauline (national University Of Ireland Maynooth Garvey - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book represents the first anthropological ethnography of Ikea consumption and goes to the heart of understanding the unique and at times frantic popularity of this one iconic transnational store. Based on a year of participant observation in Stockholm’s Kungens Kurva store – the largest in the world - this book places the retailer squarely within the realm of the home-building efforts of individuals in Stockholm and to a lesser degree in Dublin. Ikea, the world’s largest retailer and one of its most interesting, is the focus of intense popular fascination internationally, yet is rarely subject to in-depth anthropological inquiry. In Unpacking Ikea, Garvey explores why Ikea is never ‘just a store’ for its customers, and questions why it is described in terms of a cultural package, as everyday and classless. Using in-depth interviews with householders over several years, this ethnographic study follows the furniture from the Ikea store outwards to probe what people actually take home with them.

The Loft Law - Joshua Charow - Bog - Damiani - Plusbog.dk

The Loft Law - Joshua Charow - Bog - Damiani - Plusbog.dk

'A new book is opening the curtains to the last creative residential sanctuaries left in the city.' '... captures a fading way of life' - ArtNet 'Joshua Carow's lively photo book reveals .. a generation of artists' lives on in downtown lofts...' - World of Interiors 'In his new book Loft Law, The Last of New York City’s Original Artist Lofts, Charow intimately captures spaces and faces from the dwindling fraternity of auteurs protected under the 1982 New York law of the same name.' - Highsnobiety Charow spent the past two years creating his first photography book about artists living under the protection of The Loft Law. The law, enacted in 1982, granted protection and rent control to thousands of artists who were living illegally in commercial and manufacturing zoned lofts in neighborhoods like Soho, Tribeca, and the Bowery after the manufacturing industry left New York. Two years ago he found a map of the remaining protected buildings, rang hundreds of doorbells, and photographed and interviewed over 50 artists who are still living in these incredible lofts to this day. As New York faces an unprecedented amount of empty commercial space, this is perfect timing for this incredible untold story.

Government, the Railways and the Modernization of Britain - Charles Loft - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Government, the Railways and the Modernization of Britain - Charles Loft - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

More than 40 years after its publication, the 1963 Beeching Report on British railways remains controversial for recommending the closure of a third of Britain’s railways. In this book, Charles Loft examines: - why the nationalized railways were in such dire financial straits by 1963 - how government work on future transport needs led to conclusions which would have cut Britain’s railways down by thousands of miles - what difficulties eventually halted attempts by Conservative and Labour governments to implement these cuts. - This book will be invaluable to anyone interested in how transport policy is made or how it has arrived at its current state and sheds fascinating new light on the working of government, the economy and the mood of the times under Churchill, Eden, Macmillan and Wilson.

Values-based Service for Sustainable Business - Bo (karlstad University Edvardsson - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Values-based Service for Sustainable Business - Bo (karlstad University Edvardsson - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The role of values in developing and managing service companies has been under researched in the existing literature - until now. This book analyzes a large organization (IKEA) as a basis for values based service for sustainable business. The authors provide an overview of the history of IKEA and the social and environmental perspectives that have acted as driving forces for creating economic value. They go on to develop values-based service thinking within the areas of service experience, service brand, and service leadership. The book concludes by comparing IKEA to other values-based service companies (such as Starbucks, H&M, and Body Shop); from these reflections, the book presents the key principles for a sustainable, values-based service business.
