Co-operation and Globalisation The British Co-operative Wholesales the Co-operative Group and the World since 1863

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

Co-design and Social Innovation Connections Tensions and Opportunities

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

The Consumer Co-operative Sector International Perspectives on Strategic Renewal

The Consumer Co-operative Sector International Perspectives on Strategic Renewal

Globally consumer co-operation has experienced a difficult period since the 1970s. Large scale failures in France Germany and Austria were accompanied by loss of market share in the UK (including the failure of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society and its takeover by its English counterpart). Even in the Nordic countries where consumer co-operation has always been more robust new challenges from the non-co-operative sector had to be confronted. How did co-operative organizations in different countries cope with these challenges? What were the processes of strategic renewal that they undertook? How successful were they? These are the key questions that the collection will address culminating in an analysis by the editors of the effectiveness of strategic renewal in the co-operative sector. This book is a study of strategic renewal in the consumer co-operative sector using eleven international case-studies to demonstrate how the concept has been applied over the last fifty years. | The Consumer Co-operative Sector International Perspectives on Strategic Renewal

Co-Creation Innovation and New Service Development The Case of Videogames Industry

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

Translation and Modernism The Art of Co-Creation

Translation and Modernism The Art of Co-Creation

This innovative volume extends existing conversations on translation and modernism with an eye toward bringing renewed attention to its ethically complex appropriative nature and the subsequent ways in which modernist translators become co-creators of the materials they translate. Wittman builds on existing work at the intersection of the two fields to offer a more dynamic nuanced and wider lens on translation and modernism. The book draws on scholarship from descriptive translation studies polysystems theory and literary translation to explore modernist translators’ appropriation of source texts and their continuous recalibrations of equivalence between source text and translation. Chapters focus on translation projects from a range of writers including Beckett Garnett Lawrence Mansfield and Rhys with a particular spotlight on how women’s translations and women translators’ innovations were judged more critically than those of their male counterparts. Taken together the volume puts forth a fresh perspective on translation and modernism and of the role of the modernist translator as co-creator in the translation process. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in translation studies modernism reception theory and gender studies. | Translation and Modernism The Art of Co-Creation

The Corruption of Co-Design Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking

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

Co-Creative Placekeeping in Los Angeles Artists and Communities Working Together

Co-Creative Placekeeping in Los Angeles Artists and Communities Working Together

Co-Creative Placekeeping in Los Angeles is a novel examination of Los Angeles-based socially engaged art (SEA) practitioners’ equitable placekeeping efforts. A new concept equitable placekeeping describes the inclination of historically marginalized community members to steward their neighborhood’s development improve local amenities engage in social and cultural production and assert a mutual sense of self-definition—and the efforts of SEA artists to aid them. Emerging from in-depth interviews with eight Southern California artists and teams Co-Creative reveals how artists engage community members sustain relationships and defy the presumption that residents cannot speak for themselves. Drawing on these artists and theoretical analysis of their praxes the book explicates equitable community engagement by exploring not just the creative projects but also the underlying phenomena that inspire and sustain them: community engagement relationships and defiance. What further sets this book apart is how it deviates from the conventional who and what of SEA projects to foreground the how and the why that inspire and necessitate collectively creative action. Co-Creative is for anyone studying arts-based community development and gentrification given it complicates and enriches the current conversation about art’s undeniable and increasingly controversial role in neighborhood change. It will also be of interest to researchers and students of urban studies. | Co-Creative Placekeeping in Los Angeles Artists and Communities Working Together

Transdisciplinary Research Sustainability and Social Transformation Governance and Knowledge Co-Production

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

Co-Production and Public Service Management Citizenship Governance and Public Services Management

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
