Disruptive technologies have by their very nature, as they are unproven, a very different value proposition than sustainable technologies thus traditional evaluation and decision-making methods, such as rNPV are not applicable.</span></p><p class="11text"><span lang="EN-GB">This short communication puts forward an alternative solution to evaluating and supporting decision making for disruptive technologies; The Insurance Premium model is developed where representative insurance premiums are proposed, ranging from very small for unproven technology many years from a significant presence in the market (0.03% of investment) to rather small (1%) for more matured technology that may be significant in the market in five years’ time.</span></p>2023-09-10T18:54:44-07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Marc Abbotthttps://www.macrothink.org/journal/index.php/csbm/article/view/21410Climate and Christians: A Case Study in Engaging Social Values2023-11-21T16:36:22-08:00Mark William Cawmanmcawman@apu.edu<p class="APAAbstract">Globalization and International Business have contributed to significant issues in climate change and environmental concerns. This case study outlines a number of these implications and then grapples with the religious and political positions of denial and non-engagement. The literature and proposal suggest that this is partially a problem with faith-learning integration, with gaps in understanding the biblical and Christian narrative, worldview, and science. Additionally, this topic exemplifies how principle and conviction over love and mercy can damage the Christian cause, and suggests faith-learning integration opportunities in equipping better leaders and difference makers.</p><p class="APA"><em>Keywords:</em> faith-integration, climate change, environment, Christianity, international business, globalization</p>2023-11-21T16:35:47-08:00Copyright (c) 2023 Mark William Cawman
