Many countries lack basic infrastructures of establishing a new business or industrial cluster. The book argues that existing arguments which have mostly focused on macroscopic view of economy of society or industries may be misguided. The book delivers a refreshing insight from microscopic view of enterprise\/business management and how businesses can achieve sustainable development at enterprise level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes case studies of concrete examples to illustrate how a successful model can be put in place to effect sustainable development at enterprise level. The implementation of sustainable development is also a closely connected knowledge management. This knowledge management looks at intangible assets such as tacit knowledge, social capital, ecological resources, art and so forth. It is also tightly related to regional issues. This book bridges the relationship between knowledge management and regional issues from the standpoint of sustainable development and illustrates how they can be integrated to overcome the constraints to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clarity and well-founded research of the book makes it a useful reference for students, researchers and businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Makoto Hirano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415705231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415705233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Makoto Hirano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447744999679,"sku":"9780415705233","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_457bb5e5-ba9d-48a6-916e-e63f6209b7a1.jpg?v=1777234519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/regional-development-through-ecological-business-makoto-hirano-9780415705233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
