Download or read book The Reciprocity Advantage written by Bob Johansen and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful new kind of competitive advantage is now possible thanks to technological and social disruptions that are already occurring. These disruptions revolutionize how companies can partner to create new growth. The Reciprocity Advantage shares a model for creating that growth: define your right-of-way (the underutilized resources you already own that you can share with others), partner to do what you can’t do alone, experiment to learn, and scale the new business at low risk. Reciprocity and advantage are words that are not normally seen together, but reciprocity—giving now to get later—will become a normal part of winning in the future. The Reciprocity Advantage shows you how to leverage new forces like digital natives and cloud-served supercomputing now into massively scalable, profitable, incremental growth for your business. Provocative and pragmatic, leading ten-year forecaster Bob Johansen and experienced business developer Karl Ronn describe how to lean in to disruptions to create new growth for your business. They include actual cases showing early successes for a range of companies and nonprofits like IBM, Microsoft, Google, Apple, and TED. They then provide key exercises to define your promising new ideas and nurture them into healthy new businesses. Their recommendations are based on practical experience in managing the problems of new business creation and many years of helping others see the future more clearly. Distilled from hands-on work, this book gets you started today on creating your own reciprocity advantage.
Download or read book Reciprocity in the Third Millennium written by Derek Queisser de Stockalper and published by Éditions Slatkine. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental and interesting approach of the structure of the economic evolution and the impact of money on people's behavior What do shells, 3 tons stones, paper, gold and digital bits have in common? They all are, have been or will be currencies. What does money, debt or a gift have in common? They are all, explicitly or implicitly, a form of credit. What do families, communities and economic entities have in common? They are all based upon some type of natural or coercive trust. Since antiquity money has played a central role in the way socio-economic agents organise themselves. These so-called Monetary mechanisms have not only impacted economic institutions, but also – over the ages - retooled entire Societies’ value systems. Book I proposes a new 13-dimensions framework of reference to help the reader define precisely some of the key economic and social challenges our modern Societies face at the start of the third millennium. For example, what will be the impact of rapid technological change on our social and economic structures and relationships? Has money evolved from being a tool to facilitate resource exchanges to becoming the goal of economic exchanges? Or, can a post-2008 crisis financial system still facilitate the balanced and sustainable evolution of our modern Societies? In this first volume, Derek Queisser de Stockalper gives some clues to understand how the evolution of the economic systems is impacting our lives.

Download or read book Trust and Reciprocity written by Elinor Ostrom and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2003-02-27 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trust is essential to economic and social transactions of all kinds, from choosing a marriage partner, to taking a job, and even buying a used car. The benefits to be gained from such transactions originate in the willingness of individuals to take risks by placing trust in others to behave in cooperative and non-exploitative ways. But how do humans decide whether or not to trust someone? Using findings from evolutionary psychology, game theory, and laboratory experiments, Trust and Reciprocity examines the importance of reciprocal relationships in explaining the origins of trust and trustworthy behavior. In Part I, contributor Russell Hardin argues that before one can understand trust one must account for the conditions that make someone trustworthy. Elinor Ostrom discusses evidence that individuals achieve outcomes better than those predicted by models of game theory based on purely selfish motivations. In Part II, the book takes on the biological foundations of trust. Frans de Waal illustrates the deep evolutionary roots of trust and reciprocity with examples from the animal world, such as the way chimpanzees exchange social services like grooming and sharing. Other contributors look at the links between evolution, cognition, and behavior. Kevin McCabe examines how the human mind processes the complex commitments that reciprocal relationships require, summarizing brain imaging experiments that suggest the frontal lobe region is activated when humans try to cooperate with their fellow humans. Acknowledging the importance of game theory as a theoretical model for examining strategic relationships, in Part III the contributors tackle the question of how simple game theoretic models must be extended to explain behavior in situations involving trust and reciprocity. Reviewing a range of experimental studies, Karen Cook and Robin Cooper conclude that trust is dependent on the complex relationships between incentives and individual characteristics, and must be examined in light of the social contexts which promote or erode trust. As an example, Catherine Eckel and Rick Wilson explore how people's cues, such as facial expressions and body language, affect whether others will trust them. The divergent views in this volume are unified by the basic conviction that humans gain through the development of trusting relationships. Trust and Reciprocity advances our understanding of what makes people willing or unwilling to take the risks involved in building such relationships and why.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If negotiations on trade in services at the World Trade Organization are to advance liberalization beyond levels undertaken unilaterally and lead to more balanced outcomes, reciprocity must play a greater role in negotiations. This may be facilitated by the use of negotiating rules that establish credible links across sectors and modes of delivery.Negotiations on trade in services at the World Trade Organization (WTO) have so far produced little liberalization beyond levels countries have undertaken unilaterally. One reason: limited application of the traditional negotiating principle of reciprocity.In particular, participants have failed to exploit the scope of the services agreement (GATS) for the exchange of market-access concessions across different modes of supply - cross-border delivery and the movement of capital and workers.Using the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek framework, Mattoo and Olarreaga propose a negotiating formula that generalizes the fundamental WTO principle of reciprocity to include alternative modes of delivery.Adoption of this formula as a basis for negotiations could bring greater commitments to liberalization on all modes of delivery, producing substantial gains in global welfare and more balanced outcomes.This paper - a product of Trade, Development Research Group - is part of a larger effort in the group to improve trade policy in goods and services.

Download or read book The Evolution of Cooperation written by Robert Axelrod and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A famed political scientist's classic argument for a more cooperative world We assume that, in a world ruled by natural selection, selfishness pays. So why cooperate? In The Evolution of Cooperation, political scientist Robert Axelrod seeks to answer this question. In 1980, he organized the famed Computer Prisoners Dilemma Tournament, which sought to find the optimal strategy for survival in a particular game. Over and over, the simplest strategy, a cooperative program called Tit for Tat, shut out the competition. In other words, cooperation, not unfettered competition, turns out to be our best chance for survival. A vital book for leaders and decision makers, The Evolution of Cooperation reveals how cooperative principles help us think better about everything from military strategy, to political elections, to family dynamics.

Download or read book Affective Minds written by Giyoo Hatano and published by Elsevier Science Health Science Division. This book was released on 2000 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first edited volume about affective minds, a title reflecting our conviction that in order to understand how the human mind works we cannot ignore its affective aspects. Although cognitive science as an integrated approach to studies of the mind has achieved some remarkable success by treating the mind as an information processing system and emphasizing the roles of domain-specific knowledge in its operation, breakthroughs to a deeper understanding of the mind's mechanisms, functions, and origins require us to take "emotions" into account. What kinds of emotions are examined varies considerably among the chapters, from biological software producing fear, anger and other basic emotions to socioculturally shaped self-related and moral emotions. However, each group of authors investigates particular exemplars of emotions deeply in relation with cognition. How relationships between cognition and emotion are specified also varies, for instance emotion may be conceptualized as a pattern of activation of cognitive components constituting the mind, as modifying or modulating the cognitive system so that it can promptly process urgent matters, or as enriching cognition and thus human life rather than being adaptive in terms of survival. This volume as a whole constitutes a forum for scholars from a variety of disciplines, in which studies of the cognition-emotion relationships provide them with a vantage point to unite seemingly very different approaches. Its theorization at mental-representational levels is tied to neuroscience and comparative animal studies on the one hand, and social and behavioral sciences on the other. In addition, enhanced understandings of affective minds are to serve practical purposes such as improving social organizations, artificial systems and artifacts. The contributors explore this challenging theme of affective minds, using a variety of perspectives, methods and concepts.

Download or read book Reciprocity and China s Transboundary Waters written by David J. Devlaeminck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing the principle of reciprocity, Reciprocity and China’s Transboundary Waters: The Law of International Watercourses analyses the past, present and future of the law of international watercourses with a particular focus on China. As a legal principle, reciprocity plays a strong role in the formation, interpretation and maintenance of international law. Implementing this framework, the book examines the development of the law of international watercourses, highlighting how this basic legal principle is a foundational notion. It applies the framework to China and offers insights into one of the most important transboundary states in Asia. As a primarily upstream state, China is of great significance to its transboundary neighbours; however, there remain significant hurdles, misunderstandings and mistrust between China and its neighbours. China is faced with a complex challenge - how to meet its own development needs while also taking into consideration its primarily downstream neighbours? By focusing on this prominent state this work not only fosters a greater understanding of the law of international watercourses within China, but also clarifies and challenges current perceptions of China’s transboundary water treaty practice. More generally, the book provides a past, present and future view on international watercourse law, starting with an analysis of the UN Watercourses Convention and UNECE Water Convention leading to a discussion of reciprocity’s continued influence as well as charting a path forward. This book will be of great interest to legal students and scholars with an interest in international watercourses, environmental politics and international law, as well as students and scholars interested in Chinese politics and natural resource management and conflict.
