  Automation bias was likely the main contributing factor in the Enbridge pipeline disaster that occurred on July 26

  when large amounts of crude oil were released into the Kalamazoo River and Talmadge Creek. An examination of the Enbridge oil pipeline accident suggests that complacency and automation bias played leading roles but were overlooked by regulators. Moreover

  we believe that because the National Transportation Safety Board overlooked existing research on automation bias

  its recommendations are flawed and could exacerbate

  rather than alleviate

  the problem. Industry

  policy makers

  and regulators need to consider automation bias when developing systems to reduce the likelihood of complacency errors.

  Overcoming the Home Field Disadvantage: How BRICS Firms Adapt to Market Reforms

  The goal of this chapter is to discuss the managerial implications of regulatory reforms in BRICS countries and how those reforms affect the strategy and performance of BRICS multinationals. In particular

  we consider (1) how firms may learn from the institutional and competitive changes at home that accompany pro-market reforms and use this knowledge to venture out successfully across borders

  (2) how firms may learn through their international operations as a means to enhance their competitiveness and responsiveness to reforms in their home market

  and (3) how BRICS multinationals differ from other emerging market multinationals.

  Even as new landmasses and structures rise in part of the world

  they are disappearing elsewhere. Like all mineral resources

  the supply of sand is limited. And like water and air

  we often take it for granted. Walking along a sandy beach

  we can be forgiven for thinking that the supply of sand is endless. Behind this facade a hidden crisis is looming as the world’s supply fast disappears. The consequences could prove to be as devastating as climate change

  ocean acidification

  and ozone depletion.

  The End of Sand: Confronting One of the Greatest Environmental Challenges in the New Millenium

  Innovation and Marketing in the Video Game Industry identifies patterns that will help engineers

  developers

  and marketing executives to formulate better business strategies and successfully bring new products to market. Readers will also discover how some video game companies are challenging normal industry rules by using radical innovations to attract new customers. Finally

  this revealing book sheds light on why some innovations have attracted legions of followers among populations that have never before been viewed as gamers

  including parents and senior citizens and how video games have come to be used in a variety of socially beneficial ways. \n\n

  Part 4 of the Mining and Corporate Social Responsibility series.\nScotbar Proprietary Limited in Queensland

  Australia developed a process to convert sandstone to sand

  a technique that large multinational mining companies failed to perfect. The stakes could not have been higher

  with global environmental disaster looming and the world quickly depleting its reserves of construction sand

  severely affecting coastal communities and destroying marine ecosystems in the process. The case raises several issues related to sustainable mining

  such as the balance between profit and planet

  the role of regulation

  and the management of intellectual property. Describes the concept of sustainability through innovation and the associated challenges of balancing profit and sustainability objectives; explains ethical and moral theories such as the triple bottom line

  and applies these to a real-life example. It also outlines the challenges of finding markets for new sustainable alternatives to existing unsustainable products; and assessing the role of intellectual property

  including copyrights and patents

  to support sustainability.
