N2 - This book develops a comprehensive framework for creating sustainable new business approaches on a massive scale. It relates the power of entrepreneurship, investment and technology to four areas in which progress is urgently needed to get out of the world's current impasse. These are: game-changing innovations in companies; a way forward for the global fashion industry that reconciles competitiveness and worker dignity; turning around the energy crisis; and restoring capital markets to being the funders of human progress and prosperity that they once were-the pieces of the puzzle that is our future. Numerous case studies and actionable guidelines show how to concretely get the job done UR - https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-25604-7 ER -
