For communities, eco-industrial options lead to more rooted businesses, good jobs and a cleaner environment. For local and global ecosystems, eco-indus...
This work represents an attempt to formalize and partially resolve in the framework of Liapunov's stability theory the "complexity vs stability" problem in model ecosystems. Sufficient (and sometimes necessary and sufficient) conditions are derived for the stability of models under structural ...
intrinsically motivated, process. Drawing on self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan1985; Ryan and Deci2000), we suggest that digital transformation encourages employees to engage in that intrinsically motivated process, that is, to adopt a learning orientation and consequently to engage in voice beha...
