Green Purchasing Intentions against Natural Color Batik in Indonesia


Book Description

Environmental damage and economic development are often endless dilemmas. The government, businessmen, and the community together strive to address these issues in an integrated manner. Among the policies and breakthroughs in handling environmental damage is to reduce industrial waste. The batik industry as an icon of Pekalongan City has creatively made a breakthrough by producing batik with a natural color. This innovation not only has an impact on environmental conservation but also improves marketing strategies that are more humanist and sustainable. The green economy movement has become a global issue. Consumer behavior has also begun to gradually shift to prefer environmentally friendly products. The Indonesian nation no longer needs to worry about the destruction of the environment and culture, as long as environmentally friendly product innovations continue to be developed. Religion here has an important role, as a source of values that help determine people’s consumption behavior, especially in the field of fashion. Creativity in environmentally friendly batik products that are integrated with religion, brands, products, prices has significantly affected consumer intentions. This green product activity will greatly help the development of the green economy in Indonesia. The contribution of the green economy helps people to live with a sustainable environment while still getting financial improvements from the industrial sector itself.

Friction


Book Description

What the struggle over the Indonesian rainforests can teach us about the social frictions that shape the world around us Rubbing two sticks together produces heat and light while one stick alone is just a stick. It is the friction that produces movement, action, and effect. Anthropologist Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing challenges the widespread view that globalization invariably signifies a clash of cultures, developing friction as a metaphor for the diverse and conflicting social interactions that make up our contemporary world. Tsing focuses on the rainforests of Indonesia, where in the 1980s and 1990s capitalist interests increasingly reshaped the landscape not so much through corporate design as through awkward chains of legal and illegal entrepreneurs that wrested the land from previous claimants, creating resources for distant markets. In response, environmental movements arose to defend the rainforests and the communities of people who live in them. Not confined to a village, province, or nation, the social drama of the Indonesian rainforests includes local and national environmentalists, international science, North American investors, advocates for Brazilian rubber tappers, United Nations funding agencies, mountaineers, village elders, and urban students—all drawn into unpredictable, messy misunderstandings, but misunderstandings that sometimes work out. Providing an invaluable portfolio of methods for the study of global interconnections, Friction shows how cultural differences are in the grip of worldly encounter and reveals how much is overlooked in contemporary theories of the global.

Greening People


Book Description

This major collection examines both the human resource dimensions of environmental management and how environmental management impacts on human resource departments. Contributions from international experts in both academia and business look at current theory and best practice in environmental TQM, education, training and communications. Greening People argues that, if a company is to adopt an environmentally-aware approach to its activities, the employees are the key to success or failure. Realistically, it is only through the energy, performance and personal commitment of each employee within an organization that business will move towards sustainable industrial development. This book provides an important angle on the new complexities faced by environmental managers and human resource professionals and offers practical solutions drawn from some of the leading lights in the corporate environmental revolution. Greening People is divided into four parts. Part 1 demonstrates the relationship between human resource management and environmental management. Part 2 provides insight into the psychological make-up of contemporary staff that may foster or hinder company-wide implementation of environmental measures, and Part 3 addresses the shortcomings of current management training programmes and suggests new approaches for effective implementation of environmental human resource management. Finally, a selection of excellent case studies demonstrates how the concepts are being implemented in companies and local authorities.
