All individuals who operate in the business sphere, whether as consumers, employers, employees, entrepreneurs, or financial traders to name a few constituents, share a common biological heritage and are defined by a universal human nature.  As such, it is surprising that so few business scholars have incorporated biological and evolutionary-informed theories within their conceptual toolboxes.  This edited book addresses this lacuna by culling chapters at the intersection of the evolutionary behavioral sciences and specific business contexts including in marketing, consumer behavior, advertising, innovation and creativity, intertemporal choice, negotiations, competition and cooperation in organizational settings, sex differences in workplace patterns, executive leadership, business ethics, store design, behavioral decision making, and electronic communication.  To reword the famous aphorism of T. G. Dobzhansky, nothing in business makes sense except in the light of evolution.

This is a project-oriented book that simplifies setting up the skeleton of the library and adding components, using little more than a text editor or free software. You'll gain a starting baseline that can be used to develop future projects or incorporated into an existing workflow. You'll take development to the next level and can use this knowledge to create components with any framework, such as React, Angular or Vue.js, not just Svelte. Developing Web Components with Svelte is an excellent resource for getting acquainted with creating and maintaining a component library using a phased approach. It takes the view that you don't have to create something complex and unwieldy. Instead, you can start building something quickly, then extend it as needs dictate over time, without sacrificing speed or features.You'll see how to develop cleaner components in a quick, clear and straightforward way. The components you create in this project can be made available for use in other frameworks such as React, Vue or Angular,  making them genuinely reusable. In short, Svelte offers plenty of opportunities as it is based on Node.js and JavaScript, which makes it a powerful package to use.This New Edition Includes:  New chapters covering  animation components, accessibility concerns and Theming Extensively updated content and documentation to support changes in Storybook  Extensively updated to the latest spec of Svelte  Reworked content and installation process for Storybook
