Download or read book Appetite for Innovation written by M. Pilar Opazo and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name elBulli is synonymous with creativity and innovation. Located in Catalonia, Spain, the three-star Michelin restaurant led the world to "molecular" or "techno-emotional" cooking and made creations, such as pine-nut marshmallows, rose-scented mozzarella, liquid olives, and melon caviar, into sensational reality. People traveled from all over the world—if they could secure a reservation during its six months of operation—to experience the wonder that chef Ferran Adrià and his team concocted in their test kitchen, never offering the same dish twice. Yet elBulli's business model proved unsustainable. The restaurant converted to a foundation in 2011, and is working hard on its next revolution. Will elBulli continue to innovate? What must an organization do to create something new? Appetite for Innovation is an organizational analysis of elBulli and the nature of innovation. Pilar Opazo joined elBulli's inner circle as the restaurant transitioned from a for-profit business to its new organizational model. In this book, she compares this moment to the culture of change that first made elBulli famous, and then describes the novel forms of communication, idea mobilization, and embeddedness that continue to encourage the staff to focus and invent as a whole. She finds that the successful strategies employed by elBulli are similar to those required for innovation in art, music, business, and technology, proving the value of the elBulli model across organizations and industries.

Download or read book Soonish written by Kelly Weinersmith and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller! A Wall Street Journal Best Science Book of the Year! A Popular Science Best Science Book of the Year! From a top scientist and the creator of the hugely popular web comic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, a hilariously illustrated investigation into future technologies -- from how to fling a ship into deep space on the cheap to 3D organ printing What will the world of tomorrow be like? How does progress happen? And why do we not have a lunar colony already? What is the hold-up? In this smart and funny book, celebrated cartoonist Zach Weinersmith and noted researcher Dr. Kelly Weinersmith give us a snapshot of what's coming next -- from robot swarms to nuclear fusion powered-toasters. By weaving their own research, interviews with the scientists who are making these advances happen, and Zach's trademark comics, the Weinersmiths investigate why these technologies are needed, how they would work, and what is standing in their way. New technologies are almost never the work of isolated geniuses with a neat idea. A given future technology may need any number of intermediate technologies to develop first, and many of these critical advances may appear to be irrelevant when they are first discovered. The journey to progress is full of strange detours and blind alleys that tell us so much about the human mind and the march of civilization. To this end, Soonish investigates ten different emerging fields, from programmable matter to augmented reality, from space elevators to robotic construction, to show us the amazing world we will have, you know, soonish. Soonish is the perfect gift for science lovers for the holidays!

Download or read book Airbnb El viaje de Evan Spiegel y Brian Chesky hacia la revoluci n del intercambio written by MAX EDITORIAL and published by Max Editorial. This book was released on 2024-07-23 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia de Evan Spiegel y Brian Chesky comienza en entornos diferentes, pero ambos demostraron un espíritu emprendedor desde temprana edad. Spiegel, nacido en una familia adinerada de Los Ángeles, estudió en la prestigiosa Universidad de Stanford, donde comenzó a desarrollar Snapchat. Chesky, por otro lado, creció en una familia de clase media en Nueva York y estudió en la Escuela de Diseño de Rhode Island. Desde pequeños, ambos tuvieron un rasgo común: una visión clara e innovadora de lo que se podía hacer para mejorar el mundo que los rodeaba. La fundación de Airbnb tiene sus raíces en 2007, cuando Chesky y su compañero de cuarto, Joe Gebbia , luchaban por pagar el alquiler en San Francisco. Hicieron de la crisis una oportunidad y alquilaron colchones inflables en su apartamento durante una conferencia que llenó los hoteles de la ciudad. Llamaron al servicio "Air Bed & Breakfast". Pronto, Nathan Blecharczyk, programador y colega de Chesky, se unió al dúo y juntos convirtieron la idea en una startup. Airbnb rápidamente se destacó al ofrecer una alternativa a los hoteles tradicionales. La plataforma permitía a cualquier persona con espacio extra ganar dinero alquilándolo. Este concepto no sólo desafió a las cadenas hoteleras establecidas sino que también revolucionó la forma en que la gente viajaba. En lugar de alojarse en hoteles estándar, los viajeros ahora podrían alojarse en casas únicas, experimentando las culturas locales de una manera más auténtica. El éxito de Airbnb no se debió sólo a su originalidad, sino a su modelo de negocio. Centrándose en la economía colaborativa, la empresa creó un sistema en el que todos ganaban: los anfitriones tenían una nueva fuente de ingresos, los invitados ahorraban dinero y la empresa ganaba comisiones por las transacciones. La plataforma también ofrecía una serie de herramientas para ayudar a los anfitriones a administrar sus propiedades, desde controles de seguridad hasta atención al cliente. Con el crecimiento vinieron los desafíos. Airbnb se ha enfrentado a una serie de problemas regulatorios en varias ciudades del mundo. Los gobiernos locales han comenzado a imponer restricciones y regulaciones para controlar el impacto de Airbnb en el mercado inmobiliario y la comunidad local. Además, han surgido preocupaciones sobre la seguridad de los huéspedes y la protección de los anfitriones. La empresa tuvo que invertir mucho en medidas de seguridad, políticas de seguridad y relaciones públicas para mitigar estos desafíos. Desde su creación, Airbnb ha transformado millones de vidas en todo el mundo. Este capítulo presenta historias de anfitriones que encontraron una nueva vocación, viajeros que vivieron experiencias inolvidables y comunidades que se beneficiaron del turismo generado por la plataforma. El impacto social y económico de Airbnb se ha extendido mucho más allá del mercado hotelero, fomentando una nueva mentalidad de compartir y sustentabilidad. Descubra mucho más...

Download or read book Aurora Bertrana written by Silvia Roig and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2016 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silvia Roig explores the narrative of Aurora Bertrana (1892-1974), an unknown writer today, but a successful and recognized female author in Catalonia and Spain during the 20th century. Aurora Bertrana's works are almost never mentioned in manuals of literature. Her rich, intellectual work has not received the attention it deserves, relegated almost to absolute oblivion. The author reviews and studies twenty-four of Bertrana's novels written in Catalan andSpanish, including: Ariatea (1960), El pomell de les violes (MS), L'inefable Philip (MS), La aldea sin hombres (mn.), La madrecita de los cerdos (MS), Entre dos silencis (1958), La ninfa d'argila (1959), Fracàs (1966) and La ciutat dels joves: reportatge fantasia (1971). She studies her work, published and unpublished, from a feminist approach, taking into account the intellectual history of Spain and Catalonia. Bertana's strong commitment to social issues reveals her association with the Modernist and Noucentists trends of her time. Bertrana's novels reveal a unique interest in non-Western cultures and lifestyles and her work undertakes controversial topics and socio-cultural issues, while she observes and draws special attention to the situation of women in different circumstances and cultural geographies. This book is therefore anchored on interpretive and theoretical parameters that intersect with consideration of gender, such as travel-and-gender and war-and-gender. Roig uses the work of feminists such as Simone De Beauvoir, Shulamith Firestone, Jelke Boesten, Margaret and Patrice Higonnet, Michelle Zimbalist Rosaldo and Julia Kristeva to help assess Bertrana's engagement with gender and socio-political issues. This approach is particularly well suited for a writer like Bertrana, a Catalan and Republican intellectual woman forced into self-exile during the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Silvia Roig is a Faculty Member, BMCC Department of Modern Languages, The City University of New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En medio del ajetreo y el bullicio de Silicon Valley en la década de 1990, dos estudiantes de doctorado de Stanford, Larry Page y Sergey Brin, unieron sus mentes geniales para dar vida a una idea que transformaría el mundo: Google. La misión era simple pero audaz: organizar la información del mundo y hacerla universalmente accesible y útil. Nacía BackRub , un embrión de lo que sería Google. Este humilde motor de búsqueda operaba en un servidor torpe en el dormitorio de Page, indexando la naciente web y utilizando un innovador algoritmo de clasificación de páginas. La genialidad de Page y Brin reside en la creación del PageRank , que evalúa la relevancia de un sitio no sólo por el número de enlaces que recibe, sino también por la calidad de los sitios que hacen referencia a él. Google rápidamente se destacó de otros motores de búsqueda, ganándose a los usuarios con su interfaz simple, resultados precisos y relevancia inigualable. La empresa no se conformó con ser sólo un motor de búsqueda, ampliando sus horizontes con productos revolucionarios que darían forma al panorama digital: Gmail : Una bandeja de entrada de correo electrónico que priorizaba la organización y la usabilidad, haciendo la comunicación online más eficiente y segura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The AC/E Digital Culture Annual Report aims to become an annual document of reference that analyses the evolution of digital trends in the cultural sector (museums, libraries, publishing companies, booksellers, theatre companies, film production, music companies, etc.) It is designed to be a manual for constant reference and consultation for cultural sector professionals wishing to discover the advantages & benefits derived from the use of new technologies. The first report, coordinated by Javier Celaya of Dosdoce.com, analyses the impact of the Internet in the overall cultural sector, as well as it provides a specific focus on the use of new technologies in the performing arts (production, promotion, staging, distribution, etc.). Each year, the report will focus on a specific area of the cultural sector. The aim of the study is to exchange knowledge by identifying cases of success and good practices at both the national and international levels in order to enhance performing arts professionals' awareness of the possibilities new technologies can offer their entities and also of the digital trends they will need to bear in mind in the coming years. In this regard, the report is much more than just an initial compilation of the statistical data needed to establish the point of departure and current use of different types of technology. This study involves preliminary research and is open to the participation of any cultural entity wishing to contribute its experience and present cases of good practice and success in the use of different types of technology applied to the performing arts.
