Sustainable Development of the Boreal Forest: Interaction of Ecological, Social, and Business Feedbacks Ecology and Society
Chapin, F. Stuart; University of Alaska; fffsc@aurora.uaf.edu; Whiteman, Gail; Queen's University; whiteman@nsi-ins.ca.
Humans are an integral component of ecosystems, just as the products of ecosystems are critical to social systems. To understand the future state of the boreal forest, we must understand the ecological, social, economic, and business interactions that link ecological and social systems into a common regional system, as well as the feedbacks that govern changes in these interactions. We analyze the negative feedbacks that promoted a sustainable interaction between ecological and social systems prior to the development of business systems, which are dominated by positive feedbacks that have reduced the sustainability of the boreal system. We suggest a minimum set of interactions that are required to improve the sustainability of a business-based boreal system.

Responsibility for private sector adaptation to climate change Ecology and Society
Schneider, Tina; Department of Business Administration, Economics, and Law, Oldenburg University; tina.schneider@uni-oldenburg.de.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007) indicates that vulnerable industries should adapt to the increasing likelihood of extreme weather events along with slowly shifting mean annual temperatures and precipitation patterns, to prevent major damages or periods of inoperability in the future. Most articles in the literature on business management frame organizational adaptation to climate change as a private action. This makes adaptation the sole responsibility of a company, for its sole benefit, and overlooks the fact that some companies provide critical goods and services such a food, water, electricity, and medical care, that are so vital to society that even a short-term setback in operations could put public security at risk. This raises...

A mezőgazdasági üzem fogalmának változása AgEcon
Szekely, Csaba; Takacs-Gyorgy, Katalin.
A köznyelvben üzemnek nevezik azt a helyet, épületet, melyben valamilyen gazdasági egység tevékenykedik, illetve valamilyen termelő tevékenységet folytatnak. Az EU tanácsi és bizottsági jogrendszere viszont az üzemet az üzemtulajdonosok által igazgatott termelőegységként definiálja. Az angolszász országokban a farm elnevezést használják, amely bármilyen típusú mezőgazdasági üzem, vállalat lehet (family farm: családi gazdaság, cooperative farm: mezőgazdasági szövetkezet, large-scale farm: nagyüzem, small-scale farm: kisüzem stb.). Véleményünk szerint az üzem fogalma alatt magát a gazdálkodó egységet célszerű érteni, függetlenül annak jogi formájától, méretétől. Az üzem mellett szinonim fogalomként lehet alkalmazni a gazdaság, vagy a mezőgazdasági...

Communicating Climate Change: A Literature Review AgEcon
Parton, Kevin A.; Morrison, Mark.
For climate scientists, climate change is a problem that has a significant chance of having catastrophic environmental, social and economic consequences during the course of this century. In contrast, public opinion seems to regard with scepticism the pronouncements on climate change that emanate from the scientific community. Why the difference? This is what our research project was designed to examine. Or to put it another way: Assuming that the scientific information is correct, and that without a dramatic change in technology (and policy to promote such a change) there would be a significant risk of man-made, global catastrophe, what must be done to communicate this urgent issue to the public? We have approached the analysis of this problem by...

RURAL SMALL BUSINESS FINANCE: EVIDENCE FROM THE 1998 SURVEY OF SMALL BUSINESS FINANCES AgEcon
Gustafson, Cole R..
The 1998 Survey of Small Business Finances provides robust information on the financing of small businesses including an overview of their firm's organization, financial characteristics, and credit use. Information from the survey is used in this study to compare the financial characteristics of urban and rural small businesses. Overall, rural small businesses have very similar financial characteristics, access to technology and financial services, sources of financial capital, and creditworthiness when compared to urban small businesses. Nonparametric rank order statistical methods were required when comparing dollar values of urban and rural small businesses because normality assumptions were violated due to the high concentration of small firms. On...

Business opportunities in local food supply chains: an investigation in England and Australia AgEcon
Pearson, David; Bailey, Alison P..
There is widespread support from Government, media and consumers for local food networks. The profile of local food buyers and their expectations has been explored and we have some knowledge of its social, economic and environmental contribution. This research contributes by exploring the structure and scope of local food activities. This paper reports on a one year scoping study that examined local food within two contrasting countries, England and Australia. It used a literature review and interviews with key stakeholders to identify the business opportunities that exist in this sector. In conclusion there are many more local food activities in England than in Australia. Further, at a national level in both countries it remains fragmented and confused....

Estimating the size distribution of firms using government summary statistics AgEcon
Golan, Amos; Judge, George G.; Perloff, Jeffrey M..
Using a maximum entropy technique, we estimate the market shares of each firm in an industry using the available government summary statistics such as the four-firm concentration ratio (C4) and the Herfindahl-Hirschmann Index (HHI). We show that our technique is very effective in estimating the distribution of market shares in 20 industries. Our results provide support for the recent practice of using HHI rather than C4 as the key explanatory variable in many market power studies, if only one measure is to be used.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF SMALL FOOD MANUFACTURING AND RETAILING BUSINESSES AgEcon
Gustafson, Cole R..
The 1998 Survey of Small Business Finances provides robust information on the financing of small businesses including an overview of their firm's organization, financial characteristics, and credit use. Information from the survey is used in this study to compare the financial characteristics of food manufacturing and retailing small businesses. On average, both food manufacturing and food retailing small businesses had positive financial characteristics. Although they were only marginally profitable and liquid, they were highly solvent. Accounts receivable and inventory comprise nearly half of food manufacturers' total assets and a third of food retailers' assets. By most financial measures, food retailers were statistically smaller than food...

Socially responsible business formation in Ukraine AgEcon
Shapoval, Valentina.
The paper reviews development process of social responsibility of business in Ukraine during transition of its economy to market. Today social responsibility of business is understood by national entrepreneurs as marketing or PR-technology, this way it is limited to social events. In this interpretation the concept can not support stable development both at micro- and macro level and provide competitive edge for enterprises in the longer term. The author suggests possible scenarios for developing of social responsibility of business in the crisis.
