Socio-Economic Development

This monograph presents current results of research on interdisciplinary issues related to socio-economic development from the perspective of ecosystems, specifically the role of international institutions and financial systems in shaping responsible socio-economic development, the role of entrepreneurship and new technologies in creating new value for customers and society and selected aspects of sustainable socio-economic development, oriented towards society and natural environment.
The scope of this monograph offers an overview, analysis and evaluation of selected aspects of new development pathways in complex and dynamic times. The authors and editors of this monograph wish to contribute to the discussion on these challenges which are spread over and affect various ecosystems.
This monograph is addressed to all those who remain concerned about future prospects for socio-economic development, in particular academics in the relevant fields, policy-makers and students. It is hoped that the content of this monograph will not only raise awareness of the current challenges, but also provide a positive impulse for research and practice of socio-economic development.
