Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These twelve essays examine the exchange between literature and the visual arts (mainly painting), which, since the turn of the nineteenth century, has gained prominence in literary criticism. Reading modern and postmodern texts, the authors consider literary works next to the artworks the poets and writers invoke. Such instances of artistic synthesis highlight evolving perspectives on art and literature and the expressive possibilities offered by the simultaneity of words and images.
Download or read book The Art of Business written by Stan Davis and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2005-01-10 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us—business executives and artists, audiences and consumers—can benefit from seeing the world with both an aesthetic sensibility and a strategic bent. When you see yourself as an artist, everything you do can be a work of art—planning strategies, developing technologies, creating new products, working in teams and serving customers. In the traditional model, business operates in an economic flow of inputs (resources and raw materials), outputs (products and services) and processes that help get you from one to the other (research and development, production, distribution). Davis and McIntosh show that artistic flow operates the same way, but with inputs that include things like emotion, imagination, and intuition; and outputs that include things like beauty, meaning, excitement, and enjoyment. Step by step, Davis and McIntosh show how you and your company can blend the two flows, interweaving them to achieve both success and fulfillment in everything you do. By blending the aesthetic and emotional richness of the arts with the strategic and operational perspectives of business, you'll begin to see texture where everybody else is seeing shapes. You'll see colors where others see only grays. You'll see not just what is, but also what can be.

Download or read book The Art of Business Value written by Mark Schwartz and published by IT Revolution. This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you really understand what business value is? Information technology can and should deliver business value. But the Agile literature has paid scant attention to what business value means—and how to know whether or not you are delivering it. This problem becomes ever more critical as you push value delivery toward autonomous teams and away from requirements “tossed over the wall” by business stakeholders. An empowered team needs to understand its goal! Playful and thought-provoking, The Art of Business Value explores what business value means, why it matters, and how it should affect your software development and delivery practices. More than any other IT delivery approach, DevOps (and Agile thinking in general) makes business value a central concern. This book examines the role of business value in software and makes a compelling case for why a clear understanding of business value will change the way you deliver software. This book will make you think deeply about not only what it means to deliver value but also the relationship of the IT organization to the rest of the enterprise. It will give you the language to discuss value with the business, methods to cut through bureaucracy, and strategies for incorporating Agile teams and culture into the enterprise. Most of all, this book will startle you into new ways of thinking about the cutting-edge of Agile practice and where it may lead.

Don't go without insurance on your house because you are careful. Of course you are careful, but some one else will be careless when you are not about. A policy in one of the companies we represent will protect you twentyfour hours each day. Nothing else will. The cost isn't very much. It is probably a good deal less than you imagine. A few dollars a year may save what you have been many years in accumulating. Now is the accepted time. JONES & WOODBRIDGE. This Jones & Woodbridge ad shows an excellent style of display for a small double-column ad. The picture in itself tells a little story with a moral, and the simple border, and display, and plain, straight readingmatter, make the ad a very attractive one. The Use Of Cuts. Pretty nearly all of the most successful advertisers are using cuts, nowadays. There are two objects in using them. One is to attract attention, and the other is to illustrate the article advertised. Of course insurance isn't an article that can be illustrated, and, therefore any cuts used in insurance ads are simply for the purpose of attracting attention, and to help tell and emphasize a story. Real estate ads may contain cuts that are simply designed to attract attention, or they may serve to attract attention and at the same time accurately illustrate the particular piece of property for sale. But the expense of having special pictures made, in order to show just what sort of houses you are offering, would be a great many times the cost of general, readymade cuts. The photographing, drawing, and etching for a single cut would cost somewhere from twenty to thirty times as much as the price of the cuts shown in this book. And the advantage would not warrant the expense. But the illustrated ad...

THAVE frequently been asked for advice on advertising for the Young Men's Christian Association, and in answer to a request from an Illinois association I wrote the following letter which may be of interest to others: It is undoubtedly true that the best advertising you can get is the local reading notices in your newspapers. They are probably willing to give you as much space as you care to fill in this way, and this feature ought to be worked for all it is worth. The thought that strikes me when I look at the first reading notice I find in your letter is, that the subjects chosen, or at any rate the titles, are not likely to be attractive to the very class of people you wish to reach. As I understand it, the Young Men's Christian Association is designed to reclaim, if possible, young men who have gone a greater or less distance on the downward path. These boys are not going to be attracted by a lecture on "The Effects of Alcohol on the Mind and Body." They know pretty well the effect of alcohol in a superficial way. They know that alcohol makes them drunk and that is the exact purpose for which they drink it. It seems to me that this is the fault with most of the entertainments offered by the Y. M. C. A. They are not sufficiently attractive. They are too decidedly didactic. I should think that the great idea would be to get young men into the association building to show them what an attractive place it really is. I believe that a great many young men hesitate to go because they feel they are going to be lectured at. You can hardly say that they are lectured to. The trouble is that you offer them too solid food. Another reading notice I see says that the programme will consist largely of music, Scripture...

THE general principles of good advertising are undoubtedly more thoroughly understood by clothiers than by any other class of retailers. There is more good clothing advertising in the newspapers of the United States than all other businesses put together can show. It is perhaps not too much to say that nearly every clothier who advertises is a fairly good advertiser--as compared with other business men of his town. At the same time, clothiers, as a class, have much to learn in regard to really good advertising, and it is greatly to their credit that they are always eager for any information that will tend to improve their advertising. Inside The Store. The best of all advertising, in any business, is done inside the store. Too many advertisers totally overlook that point. They seem to think that advertising means bringing people into the store, and that the whole duty of their advertising is done if it brings people in. On the contrary, the purpose of advertising is to sell goods, not once only, but to the same customer over and over again. Almost anybody can write an ad which will bring in people, but nobody can write an ad that will keep people coming if the store and the goods fail to come up to the advertising promises. In the first place, every advertisement should state the exact truth so far as the quality and value of the goods offered are concerned. It is all very well to be enthusiastic and to try to give a general impression to the effect that yours is the only store and yours the only goods worth mentioning, but when it comes to describing goods, their style, their general character and their durability, only the exact truth should be stated. In the second place, the atmosphere of the store should be...

Download or read book Fictions of Business written by Robert A. Brawer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000-02-14 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find out what Joseph Conrad, Arthur Miller, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Mark Twain can tell you about being a more effective manager. Looking for business insights? Forget the Wall Street Journal. You can learn a lesson or two from Arthur Miller and David Mamet. Put down Forbes and Fortune for once and spend an evening with Chaucer and George Bernard Shaw. Not only will you enjoy yourself, you're also likely to discover some fresh management perspectives and ideas! Written by a former CEO of a global corporation who has also been an English literature professor, this provocative new business book proves that great novels and plays are a rich, untapped resource for businesspeople looking for solutions to problems they confront on the job. Robert A. Brawer digs deeply into fictions by literary legends such as Mark Twain, Joseph Conrad, Theodore Dreiser, Sinclair Lewis, and Joseph Heller to unearth vital lessons that managers can readily apply to the real world of work. From tips on resolving office conflicts in James Thurber's "The Catbird Seat" to pointers on gaining client confidence found in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Brawer finds nuggets of business wisdom in places where most businesspeople never think of looking. Focusing mainly on fiction that explores business themes, Brawer uses Heller's Something Happened and Shaw's Major Barbara to illustrate the dangers of allowing excessive faith in corporate hype to impair a manager's ability to accurately assess serious problems. From Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross and Dreiser's Sister Carrie, he infers important lessons about the art of salesmanship. He explores the problems of alienation and maintaining personal integrity in a corporate world through a close reading of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman and Sloan Wilson's The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit. And out of his analysis of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle and John Dos Passos's The Big Money, among other major nineteenth- and twentieth-century works, Brawer develops an inspiring discourse on self-interest and efficiency versus ethical responsibility and compassion in a Darwinian business world. As instructive as it is entertaining, Fictions of Business shows you how to take advantage of great novels and plays in solving the human problems of management. Praise for Fictions of Business "What a fabulous concept: the bringing together of great literature and management theory. This is a business book that challenges the intellect and goes about unveiling the basic principles of management in a way that forces you to think about what you know in a completely different way. It's a business book that stays with you long after you've read it." -Shelly Lazarus, Chairman and CEO, Ogilvy & Mather "A truly refreshing contribution to the multitude of books on corporate management. Brawer has cleverly crafted a set of essays that are both inspirational and practical." -Robert A. Kavesh, Professor of Finance and Economics, Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University. "Robert Brawer is both a successful entrepreneur and a distinguished literary scholar, and his book, Fictions of Business, is wise about both trade and fiction. Brawer writes with ironic wit and sharp observation about the culture of the corporation and the workplace." -Martin Peretz, Editor-in-Chief, The New Republic and Professor of Social Studies, Harvard University. "Brawer's message is clear and true: good literature enriches business leaders, making them more productive in their careers." -Richard D. Franke, former Chairman and CEO, John Nuveen Company. "Although commerce and literary analysis might seem worlds apart, Robert Brawer's book brilliantly weaves together fictional characters with larger-than-life figures from the corporate world. In Brawer's compelling narrative, literature offers striking models for good corporate practice." -Philip Gossett, Dean of Humanities, University of Chicago.
