Ravenelle. This book was released on 2019-03-12. Hustle and Gig available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Choose your hours, choose your work, be your own boss, control your own income. Welcome to the sharing economy, a nebulous collection of online platforms and apps that promise to transcend capitalism. Supporters argue that the gig economy will reverse economic inequality, enhance worker rights, and bring entrepreneurship to the masses. But does it? In Hustle and Gig, Alexandrea J. Ravenelle shares the personal stories of nearly eighty predominantly millennial workers from Airbnb, Uber, TaskRabbit, and Kitchensurfing. Their stories underline the volatility of working in the gig economy: the autonomy these young workers expected has been usurped by the need to maintain algorithm-approved acceptance and response rates. The sharing economy upends generations of workplace protections such as worker safety; workplace protections around discrimination and sexual harassment; the right to unionize; and the right to redress for injuries. Discerning three types of gig economy workers—Success Stories, who have used the gig economy to create the life they want; Strugglers, who can’t make ends meet; and Strivers, who have stable jobs and use the sharing economy for extra cash—Ravenelle examines the costs, benefits, and societal impact of this new economic movement. Poignant and evocative, Hustle and Gig exposes how the gig economy is the millennial’s version of minimum-wage precarious work.

Download and read online ebook How to Do Business Without Your Own Money write by Mofopefoluwa Joseph FRM. This book was released on 2021-03-08. How to Do Business Without Your Own Money available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Without the entrepreneurs, societies would find it difficult to grow, transform, and develop. From developed economies, such as the United States of America, to emerging ones like Mexico, entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Carlos Slim Helú have been instrumental in helping their countries excel and prosper. But history is also filled with people who have tried and failed at being entrepreneurs. More startups fail after ten years than succeed, which can prevent even the most optimistic people from making the foray into entrepreneurship. As concerned citizens, business leaders, and governments, we need to ask ourselves why entrepreneurship fails. Is it a character issue, knowledge issue, or environmental issue? Or is it a combination of all three? Mofopefoluwa Joseph explores why some succeed at entrepreneurship and why others don’t in this extended commentary on why entrepreneurs are so essential.This book is especially relevant to those who want to go into business but have no money to do so as well as those in business struggling to expand. Step by step, you’ll find out how to navigate the entrepreneurial journey without using your own money.

This book was released on 2016-07-08. Proceedings of the International Conference Theory and Applications in the Knowledge Economy available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Foreword TAKE 2016 is a dream that came true. In about six months, a group of friends and colleagues put together in an upcoming and very dynamic university a conference with 9 streams, 3 keynotes, and 3 special sessions. 60 papers presented, 6 posters and around 80 participants from 20 countries. This is awesome! I would like to deeply thank Aveiro University, the GOVCOPP research centre, the conference committee, the keynote speakers, the special session convenors, the stream leaders, the reviewers, the authors, and the administrative people for all their work and support. I want to have two special words one for Blazenka Knezevic without whom the website would not have been possible, the other for Gaby Neumann for work in these Proceedings. Scientifically, TAKE seems to be as important and new and far reaching. We don’t have shortage of models regarding the knowledge economy but we decisively lack to explore the relation between theory and practice. TAKE is a step in exploring that difference. We know that “Exact sciences find the best answers and social sciences give the best questions” (J.C. Spender) and we also know that “Knowledge Management is more preached by scholars than done by practitioners” (Aino Kianto). We assume the first idea and try to overcome the second. Hopefully TAKE 2016 will be a great success. Thank you for everything.
