In the past businesses have viewed water as a minimal operational cost and not a strategic issue. However, water has now emerged as a critical issue for both corporations and the public sector in response to increased water demand, climatic risks and potentially negative impacts on brand value. This innovative book provides up to date information on global water issues and describes how companies can not only address these challenges but also implement high value global water strategies. It shows: Why water is a critical business issue for companies which now face water risk to their operations and brands; How new concepts such as embedded water and virtual water are forcing companies to think differently about how they use water to manufacture products; That companies need to develop a corporate water strategy to manage it as a key business issue and capture the real value of water; How companies can develop partnerships with non-governmental organizations to implement water strategies

Autoworkers find themselves in a rapidly changing world as transnational corporations seek new forms of work organization and new boundaries for a North American auto industry. Inside the factory, management pursues new models of "lean production" that require workers to produce more with less—less time, less support, less material—in an atmosphere of accelerated and intensified labor. Outside the factory, "freetrade" policies and regional investment strategies widen the reach of transnational corporations, creating new opportunities in Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. for pitting worker against worker in a mutually destructive competition for jobs. In Confronting Change, researchers from a diverse range of universities and unions explore the impact of these changes on work and workers. The case studies and analyses show the wide range of potential outcomes as workers struggle to become actors, rather than victims, in the emerging North American auto industry.
