In recent years, Europe has invested enormously into the establishment of Research Infrastructures (RIs): new types of research service-providing organizations in virtually all scientific domains, which are often based on local or regional core facilities and research centers. Bringing together interdisciplinary and multinational teams at single-site or distributed research facilities, more than a thousand RIs are active worldwide and operate as structured, networked organizations led by Research Infrastructure Managers. These Managers are mostly scientists who have to strike a balance between their scientific background on the one hand and effective management and leadership skills on the other. This is the first open access book made for Research Infrastructure Managers around the globe. It also provides insights into complex managerial issues involved in setting up and operating RIs, developing appropriate service provision, and market communication and dissemination activities. Readers will particularly benefit from the use cases, which were developed as part of the Executive Masterin Management of Research Infrastructures offered at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Italy), which was supported by the Research Infrastructure Training Programme (RITrain), an EU-funded Horizon 2020 project. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/22a9b76a9c351315c2911132a22adc76.pdf 7334fc1a930e3c6c06fccc3974f9b995 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Robo-advisory technologies are part of a rapidly evolving financial landscape shaped by digitalization, disintermediation, and changing client expectations. This work examines the drivers behind this shift, including advancements in AI and data analytics, evolving investor demands for personalization and accessibility, and the cost and scalability pressures facing financial institutions. The book differentiates rule-based from AI-powered systems, highlighting how modern robo-advisors increasingly leverage machine learning, behavioral insights, and alternative data to offer dynamic and adaptive services. Emerging trends such as hybrid advisory models, behavioral nudges, ethical challenges surrounding algorithmic transparency, and inclusivity concerns are also addressed. Moreover, this work maps out key players and market trends, emphasizing regional variations, consolidation patterns, and niche market opportunities. A novel framework of six AI-driven business models is introduced to explain how robo-advisory is strategically deployed across incumbent and disruptive financial organizations. Ultimately, robo-advisory technologies serve as a lens to understand the future trajectory of financial services where AI, automation, and behavioral design converge to reshape how individuals engage with money, risk, and long-term financial planning. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/d41fa3b60987c1b67b209d194e69318c.pdf 97bf837b1753e512cae9aa293b064bdb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Good Business: Policy to Unlock Companies’ Benefit for Society Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Marthe Hesselmans, Bart Stellinga, Ramy El-Dardiry, Danique François, Catrien Bijleveld Subject The topic of the resource Business, Corporate Governance, and Industrial Policy Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025 Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource PDF Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Description An account of the resource This open access book shows how governments can motivate companies to make a positive impact on society and why this is necessary in light of today’s pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges and transitions. It shows obstacles companies face in conducting socially responsible business. Focusing on government-business relations in the Netherlands, the book also exposes key policy bottlenecks: the tendency of the Dutch government to hold on to the status quo and shield incumbent firms through tax breaks and lax enforcement. There is a real risk of policies that pamper businesses. We also show how policies can better capitalize on the innovative qualities of entrepreneurship. Effective government policy makes it worthwhile for companies to alter their business model so that their products, services, and production processes benefit society. Our recommendations address the role of government, consumers, financiers, and companies themselves. While this work focuses on the Netherlands, it tackles questions that countries face worldwide on how to minimize harmful business conduct and maximize good business solutions. This makes the book broadly relevant to policymakers, business leaders, and researchers grappling with the impact of business on society today. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/b179ea4d8253663b791e1849210491bc.pdf b66bdd61c0c7304b8a1f01f28a4e6a05 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

More specifically, it is written for readers who have basic knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) and have a certain familiarity with search algorithms, optimization techniques, and neural networks. This is not because the authors are interested in quantum AI or quantum ML, but because they start from the basic premise that there exists a conceptual bridge between certain AI/ML models and certain quantum computing models. The purpose of this book is therefore 1) to revisit these AI/ML models and their applications, and 2) to build on this familiar foundation to segue into the study of quantum computing and its possible use cases. The presentation is technical but pragmatic and practice-oriented. The authors cover theory to the necessary extent but largely proceed in an example-driven manner. Most of the examples are concerned with combinatorial optimization and consider problems that can be cast as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problems. Numerous Python/NumPy/SciPy codes support the mathematical discussion and demonstrate how to put theory into practice, accompanied by exercises for each chapter. Parts of the material were adopted from long-running lectures on pattern recognition, on the foundations of quantum computing, and on quantum computing algorithms, which are taught by the authors in the computer science master’s program at the University of Bonn. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/92c059854b93ee1676066b6a3a50ef90.pdf 7e2ef0d1e932be418f109d32ef975a61 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Description An account of the resource In recent years sustainability has become central to business education and thinking. At the same time, there has been rapid growth in and demand for sustainable finance by governments, corporations, NGOs, investors, and individuals. Concerns about corporations’ contributions to environmental and social problems have meant that “finance as usual” is being challenged. It is evident that the traditional view, increasing shareholder wealth as the sole metric upon which to make business decisions (“shareholder primacy”), is no longer appropriate for today. Sustainable finance, therefore, provides a more holistic view of finance and answers the question of how businesses and investors can incorporate environmental and social factors into financial decision-making. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/71871682c4db0579fd7569ff0531774c.pdf 2c05e2bcfbb01f1f9ad4e70acb613e8c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
