Destination Resilience : Challenges and Opportunities for Destination Management and Governance
This book calls for rethinking the meaning of sustainable development in tourism and explores how sustainability and resilience could be integrated.It argues that these concepts should be seen as interwoven processes, rather than alternative approaches.Resilience should be understood as a fundamental part of sustainable tourism thinking for destination systems.This can be achieved by calling for better governance in implementation and management.With insights from leading experts, chapters focus on resilient destinations from this governance perspective, in which tourism resilience is contextualized as an integral part of pathway creation in the process of moving towards sustainable tourism.The chapters represent a range of theoretical and empirical approaches with a wide international scope to demonstrate how governance is the key issue in sustainable tourism development.This book will appeal to a wide range of research disciplines and students whose modules focus on the relationship between tourism with respect to sustainability planning, governance, environment, and hazards and disasters.

The Nature of Business : Redesigning for resilience
This enlightening book sets out a new business paradigm to help inspire businesses to thrive. In The Nature of Business, management consultant Giles Hutchins presents the challenges to the prevailing ‘business as usual’ model, explains the pressing need for transformational change, and reveals the concepts and mindsets necessary to inspire the businesses of tomorrow. Going beyond current approaches to responsible and green business, Hutchins focuses on the emergence of new ways of operating and creating value in an increasingly volatile and interconnected world.He makes the compelling case that the ‘Firm of the Future’ should seek to mimic behaviours and organisations found in nature, which offer fitting models for businesses capable of flourishing in chaotic and uncertain times.A firm of the future, he argues, builds resilience, optimises, adapts, integrates systems, navigates by values and supports life-building activities.It is a business inspired by nature. Showcasing the pioneers of the new paradigm through examples and case studies, The Nature of Business presents the tools and techniques required to effect the transformation to a business fit for purpose and fit for the future.

Finding Resilience : Change and Uncertainty in Nature and Society
Floods, fires, famines, epidemics and disasters of all kinds are on the increase, and as their frequency rises so does the call for greater resilience.But what does that mean? The word is used differently in psychology, ecology, economics and engineering and runs the risk of becoming meaningless jargon.This would be most unfortunate because, if we are to successfully navigate very real and dangerous global trends, it is resilience that needs to be understood and fostered.Finding Resilience is international in scope and unravels how ecosystems, societies and people cope with disturbance and adversity.Written for a general readership and based on the experiences of researchers, the fascinating stories from around the world reveal what resilience is, how it works in different kinds of systems, how it is expressed, and how it can be gained and lost.
