Download or read book Momaya Annual Review 2012 written by Maya Cointreau and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the 9th Momaya Annual Review. Heat is theme for the Momaya Annual Review 2012. First Place "Encephalartos" impressed all of the judges. The heady, fertile world of the botannical garden provides a sharp contrast with the dessicated spectre of the protagonist's wife, who somehow manages to loom over the story despite never actually appearing. In Second Place "Whisky and Honey," dark deeds and betrayal mix with tenderness and heroism for a powerful story set in the oppressive heat of an urban summer. The protagonist's personal history is revealed, carefully and cleverly, to build sympathy for a character who at first seems unredeemable in the Third Place "The Interview." The thirteen stories in this collection treat the theme in unexpected and varied ways that deliver an entertaining reading experience.

Download or read book Disruptive Innovation in Chinese and Indian Businesses written by Peter Ping Li and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid development of China and India as new economic powers in global competition, an obvious question is whether these emerging economies are great opportunities or threats. Whilst answers are bound to differ depending on one’s perspective, it is increasingly clear that more local firms, especially local entrepreneurs, from these emerging economies will play a more critical role in global competition by becoming challengers to global incumbents. Indeed, the fact that the majority of their populations are at the bottom of the pyramid, and thus cannot afford products designed for the developed markets, has made these emerging economies fertile ground for developing and applying disruptive innovations. A novel mix of key attributes distinctive from those of established technologies or business models, disruptive innovations are typically inferior, yet affordable and "good-enough" products or services, which originate in lower-end market segments, but later move up to compete with those provided by incumbent firms. This book sheds new light on disruptive innovations both from and for the bottom of the pyramid in China and India, from the point of view of local entrepreneurs and international firms seeking to operate their businesses there. It covers both the theoretical and practical implications of disruptive innovation using conceptual frameworks alongside detailed case studies, whilst also providing a comparison of conditions and strategic options in India and China. Further, unlike existing studies, this book focuses on the neglected perspective of local challengers as the primary players, and in doing so reveals the extent to which the future landscape of global competition may be shaped by disruptive innovation, as well as its capacity to make the world "flatter" and more sustainable. This unique book will be valuable to both scholars and practitioners interested in disruptive innovation and those working in the fields of Asian studies, international business, economics and globalization.

Download or read book Flexibility Innovation and Sustainable Business written by Ramesh Anbanandam and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains practical experiences, knowledge, and insights in the evolution, formulation, and implementation of strategies and models for flexibility, innovation, and sustainable business. The book discussed the increasing significance of a flexible approach by businesses as much as possible in every area of their work—from employment policies to supply chain management (SCM). It further links this flexible approach to a sustainability strategy, which is necessary to be competitive today and in the future. This business approach is necessary to create long-term value by considering how a given organization operates in the ecological, social, and economic environment. This is linked to the next theme of the book—innovation—which is fundamental for a business to improve its processes, develop new and improved products and services for the market, increase its efficiency, and, most importantly, get better profitability. The book also delves into another buzz word in business—analytics. Companies have widely embraced the use of analytics to streamline operations and improve processes. The book explores all these critical emerging areas through the chapters in its five sections and is invaluable for management students and researchers, practicing business managers, consultants, professional institutions, and government and corporate organizations.

Download or read book Momaya Short Story Review 2017 Utopia Dystopia written by Momaya Press and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utopia or Dystopia? 2017 was a year of contradictions. Some of the world's greatest literature have dealt with the theme of dystopia - Atwood's The Handmaiden's Tale, Burgess' The Clockwork Orange, Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Huxley's A Brave New World, Orwell's 1984, to name just a handful. While utopias seem a bit more thin on the ground, the better known include Morris's News from Nowhere, More's Utopia, Campanella's The City of the Sun and Disney's Tomorrowland. Utopias seem to have ruled the eighteen and nineteenth centuries, while dystopias came into their own after World War One. "Almost without exception, everything society has considered a social advance has been prefigured first in some utopian writing." - David L. Cooperrider, PhD Momaya Press has been giving writers a worldwide forum for fourteen years. Each year, Momaya receives hundreds of short story submissions from all over the world and brings the best of them together in the prestigious Momaya Short Story Review.

Download or read book Modern Sports Dentistry written by Mark Roettger and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​This book is intended as a one-stop reference that will assist primary care community dentists, sports physicians, athletic trainers, and emergency room physicians in meeting the needs of athletes when managing facial and dental trauma and sports-related oral diseases. The opening chapters provide a complete review of sports-related dentoalveolar trauma, with coverage of emergent care, the role of endodontics, surgical issues, and restorative considerations. Prevention of dental trauma by means of mouthguards is then examined, with attention to materials and design, public policy concerning the use of mouthguards, and the role of mouthguards in relation to the ever more pressing issue of concussion in sport. Dental erosion in athletes, for example due to energy drinks, is discussed, as are the possible sequelae of use of spit tobacco, performance-enhancing drugs, and ergogenic aids. The new topic of the potential value of dental appliances in enhancing sports performance is also addressed. The book concludes by reviewing the role of the dentist within the multidisciplinary sports medicine team. The text is supported by an abundance of informative illustrations.

Download or read book Developing the Competitive Advantage of Indigenous Construction Firms written by Matthew Kwaw Somiah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a pragmatic approach to develop the competitive advantage of indigenous construction firms in the Global South, using Ghana as a case study. It provides readers with two major practical insights. The first focuses on the theoretical underpinning of firms’ competitive advantage and develops a competitive advantage model for indigenous construction firms. This competitive advantage conceptual framework aids in explaining the main and sub-attributes underpinning the competitive advantage of indigenous construction firms as well as providing the basis for assessing a firm’s competitiveness. Secondly, it highlights and addresses theoretical gaps in existing competitive advantage studies deemed essential for indigenous construction firms. Finally, a detailed two-stage Delphi study in the Ghanaian construction industry is presented as a case study. The book is therefore of interest to researchers in construction management, strategic management, civil engineering, business administration, marketing, entrepreneurial and economic studies. It is an essential manual for owners and managers of construction businesses. It is also useful for government departments and non-governmental agencies seeking innovative ways to develop the capacity of indigenous firms and/or contractors to make them more responsive to competitive bidding scenarios, delivery of projects, and satisfying the needs of the industry’s stakeholders.
