Download or read book Innovation Hardwired written by Alexis Goncalves and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation is the fundamental source of value creation in companies and an important enabler of competitive advantage. Innovation is inherently a highly cross-functional activity that, when it works well, creates a constructive tension between competing objectives of development cost, product value, performance, quality, and time to market. I have entitled this book Innovation Hardwired because the ability to consistently and continually bring an innovation to market involves: (a) hardwiring all the cross-functional activities in an effective way and (b) hardwiring several organizational factors - factors that, to use a biological metaphor, are embedded in a company's organizational DNA. Just as nature's DNA spells out the exact instructions required to create a unique organism, organizational DNA determines how effectively an organization will consistently and constantly innovate and create new value for all stakeholders.
Download or read book Reimagining Innovation the Future of Exponential Leadership written by Aaron Bare and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-08-20 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Gates, Windows, and Microsoft changed the world . . . but they were just the beginning. With the rise of digital technology, business moves at unprecedented speeds and now moves at an exponential pace. This pace is wreaking havoc to the business landscape as we know it. Disruption has brought “too big to fail” companies to their knees in a matter of months and it has made some industries obsolete. Any company or leader that doesn’t move at an exponential pace will be crushed by the new, massively transformative exponential organizations. These organizations are quickly expanding their purpose and invading new industries every day. Guides like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and more continue to provide us a roadmap for how to navigate the exponential horizon. Through a collection of nine keys of exponential leadership, we have created a formula to navigate the disruption. Exponential leadership—combined with emerging technologies, change, and disruption—will not only disrupt the world but will save it. It is time for a new generation of leadership. A leader that is purposeful, conscious, digital, and above all, exponential. Join us for a journey to reimagine innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BUSINESS EXPERIMENTS with R A unique text that simplifies experimental business design and is dedicated to the R language Business Experiments with R offers a guide to, and explores the fundamentals of experimental business designs. The book fills a gap in the literature to provide a text on the topic of business statistics that addresses issues such as small samples, lack of normality, and data confounding. The author—a noted expert on the topic—puts the focus on the A/B tests (and their variants) that are widely used in industry, but not typically covered in business statistics textbooks. The text contains the tools needed to design and analyze two-treatment experiments (i.e., A/B tests) to answer business questions. The author highlights the strategic and technical issues involved in designing experiments that will truly affect organizations. The book then builds on the foundation in Part I and expands the multivariable testing. Since today’s companies are using experiments to solve a broad range of problems, Business Experiments with R is an essential resource for any business student. This important text: Presents the key ideas that business students need to know about experiments Offers a series of examples, focusing on a specific business question Helps develop the ability to frame ill-defined problems and determine what data and analysis would provide information about that problem Written for students of general business, marketing, and business analytics, Business Experiments with R is an important text that helps to answer business questions by highlighting the strategic and technical issues involved in designing experiments that will truly affect organizations.

Download or read book Developing Holistic Strategic Management In The Advanced Ict Era written by Kodama Mitsuru and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the lens of holistic systems theory, this book discusses strategic management adapted to evolving convergence in an era of advanced ICT from the viewpoint of the major management elements of strategy, organizations, technologies, operations and leadership.To discuss corporate change in response to such advanced technology in a theoretical and empirical manner, it is necessary not only to analyze and consider individual management elements such as strategy, organizations, technologies, operations and leadership in a piece-meal manner but also to determine the research issues from a framework based on a holistic management perspective through systems theory including interaction between and among the respective individual management elements (from micro to macro elements).Applying both innovation theory and capabilities theory, this book presents a new framework and knowledge for holistic strategic management from a systems theory lens that focuses on the issue of how major corporations can develop capabilities to achieve strategic innovation in response to the impacts of advanced ICT on corporate management.
Download or read book Law Video Games Virtual Realities written by Dale Mitchell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume explores the intersection between the coded realm of the video game and the equally codified space of law through an insightful collection of critical readings. Law is the ultimate multiplayer role-playing game. Involving a process of world-creation, law presents and codifies the parameters of licit and permitted behaviour, requiring individuals to engage their roles as a legal subject – the player-avatar of law – in order to be recognised, perform legal actions, activate rights or fulfil legal duties. Although traditional forms of law (copyright, property, privacy, freedom of expression) externally regulate the permissible content, form, dissemination, rights and behaviours of game designers, publishers, and players, this collection examines how players simulate, relate, and engage with environments and experiences shaped by legality in the realm of video game space. Featuring critical readings of video games as a means of understanding law and justice, this book contributes to the developing field of cultural legal studies, but will also be of interest to other legal theorists, socio-legal scholars, and games theorists.
