Systems thinking and a value-based definition of sustainability as base for a social enterprise
No full textSustainable development is high up on the agenda of many policymakers. On the ground level, there are a large number of people who would like to make a change or at least contribute. There are, however, numerous practical obstacles in setting up a company with an innovative product and sustainability as a core value. Taking this approach to a higher level, shifting the predominant economic system is even more daunting. This chapter illustrates some of the challenges of founding a social enterprise based on an innovative and sustainable product, derived from research in Switzerland and the Philippines

Geplante Obsoleszenz im Geschäftsmodell sozialer Innovationen
No full textDie Belastungsgrenzen der Erde erfordern für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung eine grundlegende Umgestaltung unserer Gesellschaft und des vorherrschenden Wirtschaftssystems. Soziale Innovationen mit geplanter Obsoleszenz bieten die Möglichkeit als Instrument gezielt den Wandel zu unterstützen und voranzutreiben. Das Unternehmen wird zum systemischen Veränderungshebel, um einen Beitrag zur gewünschten Transformation zu leisten. Der temporäre Charakter solcher Unternehmen schärft deren Positionierung und das Erreichen des gesetzten Zieles beendet ihren Daseinszweck. So können im Zuge von sozioökonomischen Experimenten wertvolle Lernerfahrungen gemacht werden, die Entrepreneurship und Innovationskraft fördern. Es ergibt sich außerdem ein neuer Orientierungsrahmen für eine integrierte nachhaltige Unternehmensführung, z. B. wie mit Stakeholdern umgegangen werden kann, wie Unternehmenswerte, Vision und Mission definiert werden können, und was die Prämisse für unternehmerisches Handeln sein sollte. Somit ist die geplante Obsoleszenz in Geschäftsmodellen sozialer Innovationen als wirtschaftliche Sonderform ein vielversprechender Ansatz in Richtung konkreter Zielerreichung hinsichtlich nachhaltiger Entwicklung der Schweiz
Infinite symphony
No full textInfinite Symphony is the second draft of a literary s/f novel set in a distant future-world in which the expansion of the universe has resulted in a cold, lonely cosmos in which each star is infinitely distant from every other star: too remote even for light ever to cross the void between planets. On a tide-locked world orbiting a dying star, humanity has taken a stand against entropy by creating a vast Symphony, an ordered world of three trillion mechanized, blessed-out mortals in semi-suspended animation, watched over and tended by Beloved, angelic-seeming beings who buy the continued survival of humanity at a terrible price. Into this world awakens a Subject of unknown origin, a human girl who is not adapted to this world and sees it as a horrible place. When she sets herself against the Symphony, terrible consequences emerge as she finds herself opposed to the cruel, beautiful Angelus, the chief of the Beloved, who may be her ultimate creator. Ultimately the novel explores a Tennysonian theme of the conflict between the self and the soul while attempting to turn the tropes of science-fiction and fantasy to literary ends, attempting to bridge the gap between Brave New World, Paradise Lost, and The Matrix..M.F.A.A nove
The Roberts Rain Shower Bath
No full textDrawing of the Rain Shower Bath, designed by Robert J. Roberts. There existed those people who deemed a bath "once a week" a most useless formality, which must be indulged in to preserve their social standing in the community. When Robert J. Roberts became "superintendent" of the Boston YMCA gymnasium, baths were unknown in that establishment. He tells how as a boy he enjoyed getting out in the rain and being showered. The memory of those showers gave him an idea, and mindful of the stimulating effects of raindrops, he devised what he called the "Rain Shower Bath".
It is unclear as to whether or not the illustrations in the book were done by Roberts however, because they are presumed to be, he has been credited as a creator along with the book's author, B.
