Download or read book Dynamics of Innovation written by François Caron and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known as the leading historian of French railways, François Caron has also done significant work on topics as varied as electricity, water and steam power, the theory of innovation, the structure of enterprise, and other aspects of economic development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In this volume, he brings together these different facets of his expertise in order to present a broad panorama of modern technology. Caron shows how artisanal know-how was adapted, expanded, and formalized during the three industrial revolutions that swept over Great Britain, France, Germany, and the United States in a comprehensive analysis of this long, complex, and continuous historical process, leading up to the twenty-first century. Thus, he illustrates the increasingly fruitful interaction between technological and scientific knowledge in modern times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les entreprises utilisent trop souvent des recettes clés en main pour améliorer leurs systèmes d’information.

Elle permet l’élaboration d’une Feuille de route indispensable à l’innovation et à la transition vers le numérique. Pour dégager des plans d’action arbitrés et pilotés en commun, il faut pouvoir assurer une véritable « cogouvernance », c’est-à-dire une gouvernance conjointe de l’information, multi-acteurs, multicompétences et multi-domaines qui transforme avec lucidité l’organisation et s’engage avec succès dans l’entreprise numérique. L’auteur Ancien professeur à Supélec, Gérard Balantzian a dirigé l’Institut du Management de l’Information (IMI) de l’UTC pendant plus de 20 ans. Il est aussi un pionnier dans le domaine des schémas directeurs. Expert, formateur et consultant, il intervient auprès des organisations dans le domaine du numérique et de la nouvelle gouvernance de l’information.

Download or read book Architecture and Governance for Communication Services written by Noël Crespi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication services are evolving at an unprecedented rate. No longer limited to interpersonal vocal communication, they now integrate functions such as address books, content sharing and messaging. The emergence of social networks – which may also include these features – is an important element of this transformation. Content services are becoming flagship services themselves, and are sometimes paired up with conversation services. The boundaries between different services are becoming less and less distinct. This book meets the need for a better understanding of communication services, and for a general framework of their description. A detailed overview on service architecture in the Telco, Web and IT worlds is presented, offering a roadmap with explanations on how to improve the architecture and governance of communication service architectures by exploiting the syntax and semantics that are common to different services is clearly outlined. This book also responds to recurring questions about service design, such as the functional scope of enablers or SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) services, the relevance of service composition to the user and collaboration between different services in a converged environment. Many concrete examples from telecoms service providers’ operations illustrate these concepts. Contents 1. Describing Service Architectures. 2. Convergence of Service. 3. Building an Architectural Framework for Telecom Services. 4. Modeling and Case Study. 5. Organizational and Software Applications. About the Authors Emmanuel Bertin is senior service architect at Orange Labs in France. He is the author of more than 40 research papers, and holds more than 10 patents in the area of communication services. Noël Crespi worked at Bouygues Telecom, France Telecom R&D, and then at Nortel Networks where he led the Telephony Programme. He is currently Professor and Head of the Service Architecture Laboratory at Institut Mines-Telecom, Telecom SudParis in France and is the author/co-author of more than 160 research papers and 140 contributions in standardization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après avoir envahi le web, les réseaux sociaux partent désormais à la conquête de l'entreprise. Ces nouveaux outils se révèlent être de véritables leviers stratégiques au service des organisations. Cet ouvrage analyse les enjeux de cette nouvelle mutation pour les entreprises. Il pose les questions-clés avant d'envisager un projet de réseau social d'entreprise (RSE) et la méthodologie de mise en place qui l'accompagne. Les changements imposés par son implémentation sont étudiés dans leur dimension technique (système d'information) et dans leur dimension humaine (accompagnement, conduite du changement auprès des utilisateurs et questions juridiques). Le réseau social d'entreprise présente également différents retours d'expérience et dresse un panorama des principaux éditeurs et de leur solution, apportant ainsi des exemples concrets et des pistes de réflexion nécessaires à l'appréhension de ces nouveaux usages d'entreprise.
Download or read book Digital Presences of Organizations written by Nathalie Pinède and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations communicate in complex and various ways, and the context is mainly characterized by the pervasiveness of the digital ecosystem, including the Web, social networks and the Internet of data. However, its information delivery cannot overlook the requirements of multicultural communications at a variety of levels. Digital Presences of Organizations highlights the communication roadblocks faced by organizations as they emerge, arising not only from issues encountered on their own websites, but also as they construct online narratives. This multi-faceted and multi-strategy digital presence of organizations is addressed via three main thematic axes. The first focuses on differentiated strategies (content, services, interaction) that can be observed depending on the types of organizations and their users. The second examines the cultural dimension of websites, ranging from the local to the global. Finally, the third focuses on the role of narration in organizations' online communication strategies.

This book was released on 2002-03-20 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the prominent legal roles Claus-Dieter Ehlermann has played in his career, his leadership of the Legal Service of the European Commission is perhaps the best known. This liber amicorum appears as his term at the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization draws to a close. In this book 30 of his colleagues offer fresh and provocative insights into many of the areas of international law on which Professor Dr Ehlermann has left his stamp. Topics include: the WTO dispute settlement system; regulation of trade barriers; the first signs of a global jurisprudence; the principle of proportionality; enforcement of competition law; and the place of human rights in European and global integration. This book's evaluations and proposals should find thought-provoking echoes in the minds of all those concerned with any of the integration processes under way in today's interdependent world

Download or read book R seaux socionum riques et m diations humaines Le social est il soluble dans le web written by ROJAS Estrella and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le développement massif des pratiques d’agir avec et de vivre ensemble, instrumentées par les réseaux socionumériques, ainsi que l’usage abondant de l’expression « web social » et de ses dérivés peuvent être vus comme les indices d’une nouvelle étape de l’industrialisation numérique de la culture et du symbolique qui s’empare désormais du social. Afin d’en préciser les effets et les dynamiques, l’ouvrage propose une approche du social comme un construit en mouvement fait d’associations entre êtres (humains, techniques, symboliques, etc.). Il analyse les dispositifs socionumériques en tant que « machines d’écritures », puis il se penche sur des collectifs mus par des buts communs et articulés par des plateformes dédiées. En mettant ainsi en tension l’analyse des dispositifs et celle des pratiques, ce livre collectif dresse un tableau contrasté de la pharmacologie numérique du vivre ensemble.
Download or read book De Orwell al cibercontrol written by Armand Mattelart y André Vitalis and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las recientes revelaciones sobre las prácticas ilegales de la Agencia Americana de Seguridad (NSA), o el descubrimiento por parte de un usuario del rastreo digital masivo realizado por Facebook testimonian la magnitud de la hipervigilancia a la que estamos sometidos. Sin embargo, lejos del modelo disciplinario tradicional sobre el que alertaba George Orwell en su Gran Hermano, ahora los controles se ejercen desde múltiples y sofisticados frentes, en los que cada vez es mayor la participación involuntaria de los ciudadanos. Armand Mattelart y André Vitalis nos proponen reflexionar sobre un novedoso e inquietante concepto: el perfilado, esto es, el control indirecto de los individuos —a menudo con el propósito de anticipar sus comportamientos— a través del estudio y explotación sistemáticos de sus datos —ya sean sus desplazamientos o sus pautas de consumo—. Mientras que el modelo de vigilancia totalitario exhibía su control, en el mundo post-orwelliano éste se nos impone sin plena conciencia por nuestra parte; es invisible, y esta invisibilidad, potenciada por la desmaterialización de los soportes, garantiza su efectividad en una población crecientemente fascinada por las nuevas tecnologías que, sin embargo, no perciben como tecnologías de control.
