Co-operation and Globalisation The British Co-operative Wholesales the Co-operative Group and the World since 1863 Globalisation is associated with capitalist multinationals dedicated to the enrichment of wealthy corporate shareholders. However less well known is that the English and Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Societies owned by the growing number of local co-operative societies across the country were early leaders in global commerce. Owned by their working-class members by 1900 there were over 1 000 societies and millions of individual members. Spreading profits widely through the ‘divi’ which rewarded members shopping at the co-op store and selling safe and wholesome food the co-operative movement was a successful part of the emerging labour movement. This success depended on the wholesale societies supplying societies with commodities from all over the world. Because local societies were free to source produce from whoever they chose competitive pressures required the wholesale societies to develop the world’s most formidable network of international supply chains with branches depots plantations and factories in the USA Canada Denmark Sweden Spain Greece France Germany India Ceylon Australia New Zealand colonial West Africa and Argentina. This book explains how the wholesales developed and managed these networks giving them a competitive advantage in their dealings with the local societies. It will explore why and how this ‘People’s Global Colossus’ declined in the later 20th century and how its focus in international commerce moved onto ethical sourcing investment and Fair Trade. Integral to these global networks were the UK movement’s relations with foreign co-operative movements especially through involvement in the International Co-operative Alliance and promotion of co-operatives in the Empire by successive British governments as a tool for economic development. The ‘People’s Colossus’ was thus a political as well as a commercial player in the increasingly complex world of the late 19th and 20th centuries. | Co-operation and Globalisation The British Co-operative Wholesales the Co-operative Group and the World since 1863 GBP 38.99 1
Co-design and Social Innovation Connections Tensions and Opportunities Although co-design has been practised in new service and product development for some years it has only recently begun to appear in the burgeoning field of social innovation. It appears to be well-attuned to this new context offering as it does an open-ended relational process to generate novel solutions to problems whose very definition seems to escape more conventional approaches. However even less research attention has been paid to co-design than to social innovation. This book explores the potential of co-design as a social innovation process. It reviews the diverse theoretical and disciplinary foundations on which co-design is based. It proposes a framework for understanding co-design as a cohesive practice across the extremely broad scope of its potential applications. It explores appropriate approaches to governance and evaluation of co-design initiatives and outlines the key issues and limitations on its use. Although it is intended to provide a robust theoretical basis for researching co-design initiatives it will also be of interest to anyone who is contemplating putting co-design into practice. | Co-design and Social Innovation Connections Tensions and Opportunities GBP 42.99 1

Co-Creation Innovation and New Service Development The Case of Videogames Industry Involving customers in the development and production of new services becomes a powerful force across many creative industries. Customers can directly supply the firm with innovative ideas provide skilled labour and act as a powerful force in marketing. Firms across the world as they seek to innovate and to better respond to market needs begin to recognize the benefits stemming from customers’ involvement in their operations. Co-creation also becomes more prevalent as customers begin to expect it from firms – seeking to influence their favourite services or products and to have them better tailored to their needs. Nevertheless empowering the customers and involving them in the internal affairs of a firm is both difficult and risky. Despite co-creation becoming increasingly important to firms very few accounts of it exist and many firms fail. Therefore to navigate those straits and to reap the benefits of co-creation requires knowledge and more complete understanding of socio-cultural forces underpinning it. By studying a wide array of videogames firms in the USA and Europe this book provides a unique insight into co-creation. It builds on the existing theories to provide unified framework for understanding co-creation in creative industries and other sectors. It combines insights from the dynamics of customer communities with firm’s perspective on innovation management and organizational transformation. The book offers highly detailed insights into the industry which is at the forefront of co-creation. Furthermore it sheds new light on the videogames firms and their operations and is therefore ideally designed for researchers educators and students alike in the fields of knowledge management innovation management firm strategy organization studies and creativity management. | Co-Creation Innovation and New Service Development The Case of Videogames Industry GBP 38.99 1

The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking Designers are often depicted as social change agents that serve the good in the world. Similarly co-design tends to be described as a democratic mode of creativity that is somehow beyond reproach. But is change a virtue in itself and do participatory practices always produce socially beneficial outcomes? Such questions are becoming more pressing as co-design has emerged as a dominant practice in planning and urban design while also informing corporate management and public administration. In this book Otto von Busch and Karl Palmås suggest that designers tend to overemphasize the place of ideals in design leaving them ill-equipped to deal with a social world of power-wielding and zero-sum games. Seeking to reorient the concerns of the Scandinavian tradition of participatory design they suggest that co-design processes are rife with betrayals decay and corruption and that designerly empathy has morphed into a new form of cunning statecraft. In putting forward Realdesign as an alternative conception of design practice von Busch and Palmås ask: What hard lessons about the social must today’s designers learn from realists like Machiavelli? | The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking GBP 34.99 1

Transdisciplinary Research Sustainability and Social Transformation Governance and Knowledge Co-Production This book addresses the gap in the existing literature on the governance of transdisciplinary research partnerships in transformational sustainability research by exploring the governance of knowledge co-production in coupled socio-ecological system dynamics. Multiple social and ecological crises raise new cross-sectoral research questions that call for an evolution in contemporary science in the direction of society-wide knowledge co-production on sustainability transformations of interdependent social and ecological systems. This book proposes a new approach to this based on enabling capacities for collaboration among scientific researchers and societal actors with diverse values perspectives and research interests. By drawing upon the thriving literature on the conditions for community and multistakeholder-driven collective action the analysis sheds new light on the governance arrangements for organizing so-called transdisciplinary research partnerships for sustainability. This book identifies robust conditions that lead to effective collaborative research with societal actors and digs deeper into capacity building for partnership research through fostering social learning on sustainability values among research partners and organizing training and knowledge exchange at institutions of higher education. The book proposes solutions for addressing collective action challenges in transdisciplinary partnerships in an accessible and broadly interdisciplinary manner to a large audience of sustainability scholars and practitioners. It will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of sustainable development social ecological transitions and science policy while also being a useful resource for engineers QSE managers and policymakers. | Transdisciplinary Research Sustainability and Social Transformation Governance and Knowledge Co-Production GBP 35.99 1
Co-Production and Public Service Management Citizenship Governance and Public Services Management This volume compiles a dozen essays by one of the most prolific proponents of co-production as a solution for many of the challenges facing public services and democratic governance at the outset of the 21st Century. Co-production is considered a partnership between citizens and public service providers that is essential for meeting a growing number of social challenges since neither the government nor citizens can solve them on their own. These challenges include among other things improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public services in times of financial strain; increasing the legitimacy of the public sector after decades of questioning its ability with the spread of New Public Management; promoting social integration and cultural pluralism in increasingly diverse societies when millions of refugees and immigrants are on the move; tackling the threat of burgeoning populism following the rise of anti-immigrant and anti-global parties in many countries in recent years; and finally finding viable solutions for meeting the growing needs of aging populations in many parts of the world. This volume addresses issues related to the successful development and implementation of a policy shift toward greater citizen participation in the design and delivery of the services they depend on in their daily lives and greater citizen involvement in resolving these tenacious problems facilitated by the active support of governments across the globe. Moreover it explores participatory public service management that empowers the front-line staff providing public services. Together with users/citizens they can insure the democratic governance of public service provision. | Co-Production and Public Service Management Citizenship Governance and Public Services Management GBP 38.99 1
The Patient Centered Value System Transforming Healthcare through Co-Design Imagine: You are a hospital Chief Executive Officer Chief Financial Officer medical or nursing director patient safety specialist quality improvement professional or a doctor or nurse on the front lines of patient care. Every day you’re aware that patients and families should be more engaged in their care so they would fare better both in the hospital and after discharge; their care could be safer and more seamlessly coordinated; patients should be ready for discharge sooner and readmitted less often; your bottom line stronger; your staff more fulfilled. You enter into new payment models such as bundling with an uneasy awareness that your organization is at risk because you don’t know what the care you deliver actually costs. Like most healthcare leaders you are also still searching for a way to deliver care that will help you to achieve the Triple Aim: care that leads to improved clinical outcomes better patient and family care experiences and reduced costs. Sound familiar? If so then it’s time to read The Patient Centered Value System: Transforming Healthcare through Co-Design. This book explains how to introduce the Patient Centered Value System in your organization to go from the current state to the ideal. The Patient Centered Value System is a three-part approach to co-designing improvements in healthcare delivery—collaborating with patients families and frontline providers to design the ideal state of care after listening to their wants and needs. Central to the Patient Centered Value System is seeing every care experience through the eyes of patients and families. The Patient Centered Value System is a process and performance improvement technique that consists of 1) Shadowing 2) the Patient and Family Centered Care Methodology and 3) Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing. Shadowing is the essential tool in the Patient Centered Value System that helps you to see every care experience from the point of view of patients and families and enables you to calculate the true costs of healthcare over the full cycle of care. Fundamental to the Patient Centered Value System is the building of teams to take you from the currents state of care delivery to the ideal. Healthcare transformation depends not on individual providers working to fix broken systems but on teams of providers working together while breaking down silos. The results of using the Patient Centered Value System are patients and families who are actively engaged in their care which also improves their outcomes; providers who see the care experience from the patient’s and family’s point of view and co-design care delivery as a result; the tight integration of clinical and financial performance; and the realization of the Triple Aim. | The Patient Centered Value System Transforming Healthcare through Co-Design GBP 31.99 1
African Industrial Development and European Union Co-operation Prospects for a reengineered partnership Of the 54African states only South Africa is categorised by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) amongst industrialised countries. The economic activities in Africa are still dominated by the production and trade of agricultural and mineral commodities. This situation is in spite of the longstanding Africa-European Union (EU) co-operation which intends among other things to support Africa’s industrialisation endeavours. Imperatively a long road to substantive levels of industrialisation still lies ahead of most African countries. This raises the question as to what role the international community could and should play in the twenty-first century to provide the support needed to expedite Africa’s industrial transformation. This book argues that to supplement the initiatives of each African country international partnerships of both a ‘North–South’ and ‘South–South’ nature will serve better purposes if they are leveraged to develop productive capacities in African economies. In order to enable the African countries to leverage their traditional partnership with the EU for industrialisation a paradigm shift is obligatory. A feasible model should emulate the Japanese-led ‘flying geese’ model and the Chinese-led ‘bamboo capitalism’ model. | African Industrial Development and European Union Co-operation Prospects for a reengineered partnership GBP 38.99 1

Design by Fire Resistance Co-Creation and Retreat in the Pyrocene Across the world the risks of wildfires are increasing and expanding. Due to past and current human actions we dwell in the age of fire – the Pyrocene – and the many challenges and climate adaptation questions it provokes. Exploring our past and current relationships with fire this book speculates on the pyro futures yet to be designed and cared for. Drawing upon fieldwork mapping drone imagery and interviews this publication curates 27 global design case studies within the vulnerable and dynamic wildland-urban interface and its adjacent wildlands. The book catalogs these examples into three approaches: those that resist the creative and transformative power of fire and forces of landscape change those that embrace and utilize those forces and those that intentionally try to retreat and minimize human intervention in fire-prone landscapes. Rather than serving as a book of neatly packaged solutions it is a book of techniques to be considered tested and evaluated in a time of fire. | Design by Fire Resistance Co-Creation and Retreat in the Pyrocene GBP 31.99 1
Cultural Pragmatism for US-China Relations Breaking the Gridlock and Co-creating Our Future The Thucydides trap and a US-China face-off are not structurally inevitable; US-China relations are what the US and China make of them.

Phua examines China’s arduous journey to fit in the Westphalian system the deep cultural misunderstandings by the West of Sunzi’s The Art of War and attempts to offer an inside-out cultural synthesis of classical and modern Chinese thought as a proxy of their operational code beyond the standard clichés about Confucian and Daoist thought. He builds on Jervis’ perception and misperception as well as Alastair Johnston’s cultural realism. Readers will benefit from a culturally-Chinese western-educated and politically neutral understanding of China as China.
