Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity
€ 20,00The professorship Entrepreneurship in Transition has developed a philosophy to strengthen the entrepreneurial capacity of individuals, companies and regions. The philosophy assumes that successful entrepreneurship is both a personal and a collective assignment exploring possibilities. The Critical Friend Method is a working method that takes shape in multi-level and multi-disciplinary settings and can be applied to innovation, connection and entrepreneurship issues.
People are challenged to take self-direction, think critically, and take the next step.
Companies with innovation challenges can successfully use the Critical Friend Method to share knowledge bypassing potential hierarchical constraints.
Regions in the world are facing challenging transitions. Such as from linear to circular creation processes. This method contributes to the current transitions in society by promoting knowledge sharing, stories and exchange.
Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity is a handbook that provides all the tools to support this process and offers instructions that have been tested in practice for students, entrepreneurs, teachers and workplaces.The professorship Entrepreneurship in Transition is a collaboration between Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen and Alfa-college.
Mens & ruimte
€ 24,90In 1963 publiceerde de Duitse natuurkundige en filosoof Otto Friedrich Bollnow dit standaardwerk over de relatie tussen mens en ruimte. We lezen over de plekken waar we wonen en werken; over schimmige ruimten, de prettige omgeving en angstaanjagende ruimten. Bollnow legt uit hoe we ruimten ervaren en waarom we op sommige plekken aarden en op andere niet. In het bijzonder bij antropologen, pedagogen en architecten behoort dit boek, dat in tal van talen is vertaald, inmiddels tot de verplichte literatuur.
‘Wat valt van Bollnow te leren? Bijvoorbeeld dat normen en waarden niet alleen een kwestie zijn van recht en orde, fatsoensregels en gezin, stadswachten en tourniquets, maar ook van joie de vivre, hoogwaardige stedenbouw en voldoende groen. Tijd om Bollnow aan de vergetelheid te ontrukken.’ – Jos Simons in Trouw
‘Bollnow zoekt in zijn filosofie naar de kenmerken van ‘de gelukkige ruimte’; de ruimte waarin mensen zich kunnen ontplooien. Hij streeft naar ruimtes waarin je je kunt settelen zonder te verstijven, waarin je wortel kunt schieten zonder jezelf te isoleren en waarin je jezelf kunt vertrouwen zonder jezelf op te geven.’ – Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
Humanity is not a plague
€ 15,00In Humanity is Not a Plague, Cees Buisman argues that it is possible for 10 billion people to exist together on this Earth – as predicted for the year 2100 – provided that the richer part of the world no longer merely focuses on its own health, prosperity and happiness, and instead starts working seriously on developing a higher consciousness.
In this essay, Buisman sharply analyzes some of the problems facing mankind, such as fresh water shortages, whilst overturning several clichés and offering unexpected, positive solutions. Overpopulation is not the problem; the effects of our actions on the rest of the world have a much greater impact. ‘Back to nature’ is not the solution, nor is an overreliance on science and innovation. Large-scale technologies could even increase our problems. It seems that the growth of humanity will depend on the growth of our consciousness.
Cees Buisman studied water purification engineering, in addition to business administration, communication theory and applied integral psychology. Throughout his life he has worked on new environmental technologies, which are used in industry all over the world. His scientific work is highly cited. Buisman is the Director of Wetsus – European Center for Sustainable Water Technology, and Professor at Wageningen University, in the Netherlands.
