Download or read book The Idea Factory written by Pepper White and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001-10-12 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a personal story of the educational process at one of the world's great technological universities. This is a personal story of the educational process at one of the world's great technological universities. Pepper White entered MIT in 1981 and received his master's degree in mechanical engineering in 1984. His account of his experiences, written in diary form, offers insight into graduate school life in general—including the loneliness and even desperation that can result from the intense pressure to succeed—and the purposes of engineering education in particular. The first professor White met at MIT told him that it did not really matter what he learned there, but that MIT would teach him how to think. This, then, is the story of how one student learned how to think. There have of course been changes at MIT since 1984, but its essence is still the same. White has added a new preface and concluding chapter to this edition to bring the story of his continuing education up to date.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Hubs and Economic Development written by Arkebe Oqubay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrialization supported by industrial hubs has been widely associated with structural transformation and catch-up. But while the direct economic benefits of industrial hubs are significant, their value lies first and foremost in their contribution as incubators of industrialization, production and technological capability, and innovation. The Oxford Handbook of Industrial Hubs and Economic Development adopts an interdisciplinary approach to examine the conceptual underpinnings, review empirical evidence of regions and economies, and extract pertinent lessons for policy reasearchers and practitioners on the key drivers of success and failure for industrial hubs. This Handbook illustrates the diverse and complex nature of industrial hubs and shows how they promote industrialization, economic structural transformation, and technological catch-up. It explores the implications of emerging issues and trends such as environmental protection and sustainability, technological advancement, shifts in the global economy, and urbanization.
Download or read book The Management Idea Factory written by Stefan Heusinkveld and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there has traditionally been considerable field-level attention on how consultants market their ideas and practices, there is still a lack of research that discusses the earlier intra-organizational phases in the development process. While the present literature provides important insights that enhance our understanding of consulting, the consultancy industry, and the way that consultants present their ideas and services on the market for management solutions, we know relatively little about the way knowledge-based innovations develop within consultancy firms and the mechanisms that shape the intra-organizational evolution of these ideas and practices. This book seeks to address this gap by revealing how the development of new ideas and practices takes shape in consultancies. The work addresses questions such as: In which way do consultancies sense the contemporary market needs? How do new ideas and practices become established within a consultancy? How do consultancies seek to maintain their repertoire? And what role do these new ideas and practices play in their assignments? To provide more insight into these different aspects of knowledge-based innovation in consultancies, the book draws on and integrates literature from diverse relevant fields such as product innovation and market orientation, but also uses institutional and practice-based perspectives. The research presented in this book can be seen in the light of emerging research into ‘knowledge-based innovation’ and ‘new concept development’ that concentrate on empirically studying how knowledge entrepreneurs seek to develop commercially viable ideas and practices that have the potential to have a significant impact on management and organizational praxis.
Download or read book Women Workers in Brick Factory written by Amal Mandal and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brick factory work is seasonal and the employment is contractual, utterly insecure and wage is piece-rated. Though women workers comprise about one-half of the total workforce in every factory, they hail from the families that survive by working as labourer in every conceivable sense; they are from lower caste and class, illiterate and they are mostly wives of male factory workers. While husbands of those women are not necessarily confined to unskilled factory works women really are. Women are in plethora those works, which are unskilled in nature and where wage earning is comparatively low. Workers after hard day’s toil receive wage that is barest minimum for subsistence. This is why workers are compelled to work along with other family members and as long in a day as they can. Women workers (and others) are deprived of all statutory benefits and amenities like maternity benefits, creche, fixed working hour etc. Even basic minimum welfare provisions like rest shed, drinking water and toilet are conspicuously absent in brick factories. Though owners are amassing whooping profit, they have persistently ignored and evaded the welfare provisions for the workers that are applicable to the factory. Given the nature of skill attainment of the workers, the employment opportunity available in the unorganised sector and insipid role of trade union, there seems no immediate escaping from the bondage and tethering of back-bending work, subsistence wage, insecure job and debasing working conditions.
