"As the income gap between the ultra-rich and the other 99% grows, many are questioning whether capitalism has to be so inequitable. Others challenge the viability of capitalism as we know it. This book presents an alternate economic reality, drawn from European economic thought. Specifically it refutes the common belief that the sole purpose of work is profit, which we might call socially irresponsible capitalism. In socially responsible capitalism, work is to serve employees and society as well as owners. This book will be hated by people motivated by greed, and embraced by those who practice servant leadership or rejoice in the economic teaching of Pope Francis."–John Conbere, University of St. Thomas, USA 


"In this time of increasing ecological problems, technological revolution, and change in the workforce, the focus of businesses is shifting from solely being on the profit to how businesses develop their people and contribute to the society. The Millennials are challenging and scrutinizing the common premises of traditional business and management. We need to develop socially responsible organizations that would invest in their people and communities. Socio-economic management helps to grow socially responsible organizations, but also changes a mental model of traditional business and management. Socially responsible organizations by employing socio-economic management can bring together profit-oriented capitalism and care for human beings." –Alla Heorhiadi, University of St. Thomas, USA

Socially Responsible Capitalism and Management

"This is an innovative and pedagogically sound take on an established conceptual model, which I have not come across in other textbooks or guides on the subject. The visualisation strategies used in the book makes it an essential resource for students, as well as teaching and lecturing staff."— Dimitar Angelov, Senior Lecturer at Coventry University, UK.
"This book is refreshingly unique, and it does exactly waht it says on the cover. University students, teaching and lecturing staff will find this book very useful and easy to use. From a specialist teacher's perspective, it is a great resource." — Glynis Lavington, Patoss Bulletin

From the reviews:“The book focuses on emerging metaheuristic approaches to unsupervised classification, with an emphasis on a symmetry-based definition of similarity. … I found this book very appealing. I also thought of it as very valuable for my preoccupations towards the real-world application of unsupervised classification to medical imaging. I thus believe that, when reading this book, junior as well as experienced researchers will find many new challenging theoretical and practical ideas.” (Catalin Stoean, zbMATH, Vol. 1276, 2014)“The book views clustering as a (multiobjective) optimization problem and tackles it with metaheuristics algorithms. More interestingly, the authors of this book propose the exploitation of the concepts of point and line symmetry to define new distances to be used in clustering techniques. … researchers in the field will surely appreciate it as a good reference on the use of the symmetry notion in clustering.” (Nicola Di Mauro, Computing Reviews, July, 2013)

»Erklärtermaßen sollte dies ein Schundroman mit Hintergründen werden. Obwohl dieser Roman von unwahrscheinlichen Begebenheiten, Irrungen, Wirrungen und allerlei Merkwürdigkeiten nur so wimmelt, kann man ihn in seiner Gänze kaum als Trivialroman abtun, dafür sind die erwähnten ›Hintergründe‹ zu gewichtig. Zu diesen bietet der editorische Anhang reichliches Material, das unter anderem etliche Quellen, Inspirationen und tatsächliche Fakten aufdeckt.«

"This is a book that inspires hope. Its contributors are, in their different ways, motivated by restlessness with a dysfunctional society and with the current state of the caring and therapeutic professions in Britain. From vantage points, often on the margin, they offer profound and pioneering reflections on theory, practice and research. Their combined efforts will encourage readers not to yield to the dispiriting trends which permeate our fractured society or to the straitjackets which increasingly threaten therapeutic creativity. It is refreshing to meet a group of writers who celebrate the whole person and have retained the vision of a more compassionate society." - Emeritus Professor Brian Thorne, University of East Anglia, UK; Lay Canon, Norwich Cathedral 
"In an age where the psychological therapies seem increasingly boundary-focused, it is a delight to read a book that allows you to breathe once again. Bringing together formidably articulate writers, Nolan and West facilitate the reader beyond the limitations of therapy and explore aspects of our work in a refreshing and engaging way. They demonstrate that while good helping is about being grounded in strong ethical practice, work that empowers and truly facilitates is informed by much wider horizons. An excellent and welcome read." - Dr Andrew Reeves, Chair of BACP. Associate Professor in the Counselling Professions and Mental Health, University of Chester, UK
"This book takes readers on a refreshing journey of reflection, ‘beyond’ the customary ‘packaged’ mainstream ways of understanding counselling and psychotherapy (which are well-rehearsed and culturally-constrained), to alternative ways of thinking that are born out of the wisdom that comes from experienced practitioner-reflexivity and wider-informed practitioner development. Any therapist, who has grown beyond the bounds of defensive practice to become more grounded and authentic in their way of being and thinking with clients, will find resonances with, and permission-giving in, the text." - Professor Peter M. Gubi, Professor of Counselling, University of Chester, UK

"There is a real need for this book. It is useful for people who work in areas of nonlinear analysis, optimization theory, variational inequalities, and mathematical economics."—Nan-Jing Huang, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People’s Republic of China

'The editors have come up with a solid text that will prove useful for undergraduates and graduates alike. Its well-known contributors provide insight on a wide range of subjects, and the inclusion of nonviolent civil resistance as a key component of the field sets this text apart from many others. Overall, the text gives students a range of tools to handle international conflict and to work towards conflict transformation and global change.'-- Landon E. Hancock, Kent State University, USA 

'This book provides an exceptionally comprehensive and compelling collection of insights on international conflict management. Hallward and Butcher have brought together the voices of top contributors from around the world who expertly integrate findings from theory and practice while grappling with both historical and newly emerging issues and ideas. The volume will be a must-read text for students and also a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners. '--Julie M. Norman, University College London (UCL), UK
'Understanding International Conflict Management is essential reading for anyone interested in the practical utility of peace and conflict studies. It is theoretically sophisticated and introduces readers to the fundamentals of negotiation theory, resistance studies, and long term peacebuilding, justice and reconciliatory processes. It does all of this while focusing a conflict management lens on critical 21st century issues such as social media for the public good, gender based conflict, refugees and migration and the biggest existential dilemma of all climate change and conflict. I heartily endorse it for everyone interested in peaceful social change and transformation.'--Kevin P Clements, National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Otago, New Zealand
'Understanding International Conflict Management provides an exhaustive overview of international conflict management mechanisms ranging from negotiations to peacekeeping to transitional justice. Butcher and Hallward expertly tie together a wide array of perspectives on conflict management, helping readers to understand the current state of the field in an interdisciplinary way. For those seeking to understand conflict management mechanisms and the cross-cutting issues they help to address, this is an excellent resource.'--Krista E. Wiegand, University of Tennessee, USA
