No full textThis book provides a comprehensive guide on integrating sustainability into organizational strategy, HR practices, and overall business growth. It begins by highlighting the importance of aligning business strategies with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve a balance between economic progress and environmental responsibility. The shift from traditional HR to sustainable HR is a central theme of the book. It explores how companies can prioritize long-term workforce well-being, adapt to remote work, and support a sustainable work culture. Another key focus of the book is leveraging sustainability in employer branding and talent acquisition. By embedding sustainability into their values, organizations can attract and retain talent aligned with their commitment to social responsibility. The book also emphasizes the role of women in leadership, particularly in virtual environments, for fostering inclusive, gender-diverse, and resilient teams. Additionally, it explores sustainability reporting practices, with case studies on tech companies showcasing how they measure and communicate their environmental and social impact. Finally, the book looks ahead at future trends and challenges in sustainable HR, including work-life balance, well-being, and the integration of sustainability into workforce management. This is an essential read for HR professionals, business leaders, and sustainability advocates seeking practical strategies to support sustainable development and create meaningful impact

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Outsourcing and offshoring to India
No full textWith an average growth of GDP of 6.2 per cent (in the last decade), an inter - national exchange seven times larger than in 1991 and a value of investments more than thirty times greater, India is the second best economy in the world (after China) for its growth rate (Nassimbeni and Sartor, 2008). In fact India’s GDP at 9.4 per cent was the second fastest-growing GDP after China in 2007-08. As per Reserve Bank of India (RBI), India’s actual outbound foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2007-08 was an estimated US 13,454 million in the previous fiscal year (NASSCOM1 Newsline, 2008). India is the fifth largest economy on basis of GDP calculated on purchasing power parity (PPP) basis (CIA, 2009). One of the key industries that have propelled this rise and growth is that of information technology (IT). It includes a vast range of activities, from IT-enabled services (ITes) to development and maintenance of software. What was, at first, the externalization of singlular activities has now become a phenomenon involving entire processes: business process outsourcing (BPO)
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
