A discussion and analysis of the key aspects emerging during the course of the research comprise the basis of this chapter.

This chapter also considers the Google initiatives and possible new business models for authors. The emerging theme of resale royalties for authors is examined and compared with the Resale Royalty Right for Visual Artists Act 2009.

This chapter examines the current evolving publishing framework in Australia and the relationship between authors and their publishers, noting the competing interests of the various subaltern spheres (such as the “author sphere” and “publisher sphere”) within the greater public sphere. A comparison between a standard publisher’s contract and the model contract recommended by the Australian Society of Authors (ASA) provides a source for analysis and discussion, which relevantly reflects the nature of the relationship between author and publisher. The issue of digital publishing is investigated to ascertain what constitutes an equitable arrangement for authors. Finally, new business models in publishing are considered and observations are made on copyright protection measures on the Internet, alternative licensing models such as the Creative Commons and the “honesty box” model used by some authors. A brief discussion of the anti-copyright actions of Google is also included, and in conclusion, the author-publisher power balance is addressed, taking into account the different characteristics of print books and ebooks.

Abstract Every year seems to bring about new technologies that radically change the way we do things. New innovative business models come to life, that change the way the world works so much that a shift of mindset is required if we are to keep up. These days, the largest transport company in the world owns no cars, the largest accommodation provider owns no real estate, the largest retailer by value has no inventory of its own, and the most popular media owner creates no content. But what about the role of regulation in this brave new world? We take a look at the rivals, taxi companies and private hire transport companies (in particular Uber), to assess the need for regulation and the impact of regulation on these two contenders. Our research examines the effects of said regulation on service quality and safety, correlated with consumer opinion data. The impact of non-regulatory incentives on the two seemingly-opposed business models is discussed, thus making the logical case for increased deregulation of both taxis and private hire companies. Opening the way to innovative companies and innovative new business models, allowing them to change the world is our gateway to growth, prosperity and sustainability.

This chapter reviews the literature on green marketing from the sustainable marketing phase to the latest paradigm of green marketing based on the concept of consumer empowerment and customer-initiated innovation process. In particular, the authors delve into the evolution of green marketing in order to highlight critical contrasts including product-based vs. service-based green marketing approach; top-down (business-initiated) vs. bottom-up (customer-initiated) green-based innovation; physical vs. online distribution of green products/services; positioning and advertising vs. brand co-creation; passive vs. active/empowered role of consumers and focus on customers vs. focus on multiple stakeholders. This chapter illustrates, through a series of cases and consumer insights, the contradictions, and controversies of green marketing. The chapter shows how customer participation and value co-creation, have changed the way green products are consumed and developed, and have forced organizations to adopt completely new business models.

AbstractThis chapter begins with an overview of the key challenges faced by society with a linear economy and proceeds to the concept of circular economy, its potential, and associated challenges. Key elements in circular economy will be addressed including issues like “refuse”, “reduce”, reuse”, “refurbish”, and “recycle”. I provide numerous examples to illustrate the different approaches in practice. The role of different stakeholders in the process of achieving a circular economy is discussed. Lastly, the transition from selling products to providing services is addressed.
