The 1960S

South Los Angeles embodies a complex history that captures the dynamics of spatial inequality. It is an area where some of the largest protests reacting to a system of racial oppression have imprinted a persistent image on the names South Central and Watts. This article analyzes how the stigma attached to the South Los Angeles area has translated to place specific forms of inequality. We take advantage of the consistency in the boundaries the Census used to collect data in the area from 1960 to 2016 to test hypotheses about the relative importance of race, place, and economic class in the Los Angeles region. The analysis revolves around three themes critical to furthering equality: housing, employment, and transportation. We find that the significance of place has changed significantly over the course of half a century without ever disappearing. In each of the themes we study, the significance of the factors we highlight changes, but South Los Angeles remains disadvantaged relative to the region.

Investment Decision Making

In the era of ‘Reviving Green', sustainability is no longer a luxury; it has become a global necessity. The late 1990s saw the evolving concept of triple bottom line. The growing importance of the environmental agenda that ‘sustainability' had been mainly focused upon to that point led to the inclusion of the environment as one of the defining factors of ‘sustainability'. The new paradigm in the third millennium puts business in the driving seat. Consequently, their role and responsibility towards the environment is manifold. The tradeoff between economic growth and the environmental costs has become one of the major challenges for businesses. This chapter examines the traditional accounting practiced by organizations. The premise of internalizing environmental costs in the investment decision making is highlighted. The costs and benefits that arise through the environment protection and depletion of the existing capital have been held forth.

The Human Resource (HR) function is often viewed by those in organizations as a process function and a cost-center, which results in an enhanced risk of outsourcing and automation. However, HR is also uniquely positioned to engage firms in cross-functional transformational change efforts, as its work is embedded in every business function within an organization. Sustainable HR and the triple bottom line (TBL) present opportunities for HR to build a strategic role within organizations. This essay provides strategic and tactical models, with specific steps for implementation, to assist HR in re-assert its role in driving the competitiveness of the firm through Sustainable HR.
