Nano-blogging: What's up

  • Here is an updated snippet what I do in more real-time (and for real, as compared to the 30 boxes "plan"). View it like an occasional SMS going public instead of private. Or yes, nanoblogging.
  • Here you can see what I plan to do, but you know how it is with plans in a chaordic world. Updated through computer and mobile screen. Mostly transparent, some undisclosed.

Micro-blogging: Raw bookmark sharing

  • A micro blog in the steady stream besides the main blogs mainstream. Content here eventually emerge into something worth to digest in the main blog.
    This is my everyday social bookmarking - all things related to all my streams of sustainopreneurship, music production - distribution - consumption, t-shirt trading, tools - enablers - approaches to fast-track to a sustainable world, and of course alot of fun, fun and fun! Eclectic, esoteric, exoteric. Messy? Well. Chaordic, I prefer to say - in between chaos and order, like nature itself.
    The content is visualized by the tag cloud and the core is defined by my profile statement and quote: RE:LOVE THE WORLD | Anders Abrahamsson dot info. See my About Page here.
    And of course, if you appreciate my blog or a specific blog post, bookmark it with your service (through AddThis above - all the established bigger ones in one go), I would really love to recommend you BlinkList (it's included)!

Research article defining "sustainopreneurship" now published!

As I blogged here, I had a research article in the loop. It is now published, and you can buy the book from the conference proceedings including my article here through VHU homepage. VHU is Föreningen Vetenskap för Hållbar Utveckling or in English "The Swedish Research Association for Sustainable Development".Temp_vhu

The proceedings entitled "Science for Sustainable Development – Starting Points and Critical Reflections" contain contributions from 39 scientists. The book is available for order at 300SEK (shipping costs excluded), appr. 32€. A pdf with cover and contents are available for download.

Contact me if you want a copy.

A popular version of my article contribution will be in an extended version with some strong illustrative case studies. My contribution here was purely conceptual in ten pages flat including reference list: "Sustainopreneurship - Business with a Cause. To turn Business Activity from a Part of the Problem to a Part of the Solution".

The book in itself provides a very broad, multi-disciplinary and deep source to the research state of sustainable development as a whole, since it contains more than 1 000 state-of-the-art references.

Sustainopreneurship Defined


  • businesswithacause.jpg
  • Quick Guide - Fixed Page @ www.sustainopreneurship.info
    This blog presents ideas, applied action and tangible results that has now reached the critical mass enough to write a book. The most important element of such a book is the condensation of the phenomenon I study - Entrepreneurship and Innovation for Sustainability, or Sustainopreneurship. The concept has been anchored in a research article in the 1st publication from a Swedish Research Association on Sustainable Development. The definition is published here, at http://www.sustainopreneurship.info, and also links to another page with featured case studies.

There is a lot of innovation out there, especially in information and communication technologies - and approaches - that holds a strong potential to do things totally different that we have done before, ultimately to create a sustainable world.

New books - 2006

  • Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, Mark Newman, Duncan Watts: The Structure and Dynamics of Networks (Princeton Studies in Complexity)

    Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, Mark Newman, Duncan Watts: The Structure and Dynamics of Networks (Princeton Studies in Complexity)
    If "Linked" above presented an easily accessed introduction, still with quite intricate underlying mathematics making it easy to grasp, this volume seems to take it quite a bit further, to say the least! Still, given the reading experience from last summer, I expect nothing less than astounding when this lies in my lap, replacing the laptop :). -- Synopsis Quote; "From the Internet to networks of friendship, disease transmission, and even terrorism, the concept--and the reality--of networks has come to pervade modern society. But what exactly is a network? What different types of networks are there? Why are they interesting, and what can they tell us? In recent years, scientists from a range of fields--including mathematics, physics, computer science, sociology, and biology--have been pursuing these questions and building a new "science of networks." This book brings together for the first time a set of seminal articles representing research from across these disciplines."

  • Chris Anderson: The Long Tail

    Chris Anderson: The Long Tail
    If Barabasi et al takes the concept of networks to its "abstractions" and the most far-spread cross/multi/many-disciplinary applications, Chris Anderson delivers a truly groundbreaking approach to its application in two dimensions: How to make use of the "small worlds" to generate "new business opportunities and to tap into formerly 'impossible' markets" of the niches of the millions of dozens. Read it in the crude states as a "on its way to a book-diary" at http://www.thelongtail.com and check the Long Tail basics at the "Lens" http://www.squidoo.com/longtail!

  • Kai Hockerts et al: Social Entrepreneurship

    Kai Hockerts et al: Social Entrepreneurship
    Pending is the book coming from Kai Hockerts et al. (ed.), one of my greatest "linkedin's", former head of CMER of Insead and now associated to "Center for Corporate Values and Responsibilities", is here on his way with a volume bringing the field forward. He was the first to have a PhD connecting the concepts "sustainable development" with "entrepreneurship", see my "theory/references" first blogpost.

  • C. Macrae, Alan Mitchell et al: The Map That Changed the World
    I heard that this volume is currently in print, on its way out. From synopsis; "To survive and flourish, organizations must create win-win relationships with the people they deal with. This, in fact, is every businesses underlying purpose: to organize and connect different groups of people (customers, employees, investors, distributors, partners etc.) in a collaborative quest for a particular form of mutual value creation. Most thoughtful business leaders are well aware of this, yet rarely make profitable use of their knowledge for one simple reason: no one has yet managed to translate this rather abstract and generalistic insight into concerted, practical action. Until now." / Or - shall we say - soon ;) ?
