Purple Cow, New Edition

Purple Cow, New Edition

The cult classic that revolutionized marketing by teaching businesses that you’re either remarkable or invisible. Few authors have had the kind of lasting impact and global reach that Seth Godin has had. In a series of now-classic books that have been translated into 36 languages and reached millions of readers around the world, he has taught generations of readers how to make remarkable products and spread powerful ideas. In Purple Cow, first published in 2003 and revised and expanded in 2009, Godin launched a movement to make truly remarkable products that are worth marketing in the first place. Through stories about companies like Starbucks, JetBlue, Krispy Kreme, and Apple, coupled with his signature provocative style, he inspires readers to rethink what their marketing is really saying about their product. In a world that grows noisier by the day, Godin's challenge has never been more relevant to writers, marketers, advertisers, entrepreneurs, makers, product managers, and anyone else who has something to share with the world.

No soy un robot

No soy un robot

Una reflexión sobre cómo lo digital transforma nuestras vidas y nuestra relación con la lectura.Somos ya seres digitales. Hemos pasado de la galaxia Gutenberg de McLuhan a la galaxia digital. ¿Cómo afecta a nuestra percepción de la realidad? ¿Qué derivas políticas suscita esta revolución tecnológica? ¿Cómo influye en el ejercicio del periodismo? ¿Cuál es el papel del libro y la lectura en esta nueva era? Juan Villoro responde a estas y otras preguntas en un ensayo que huye del academicismo y combina las pinceladas autobiográficas con la reflexión y la prospección especulativa.Por estas páginas asoman los dispositivos móviles, las selfies y Twitter (ahora X), el control mediante el reconocimiento facial, internet y las mentiras virales, la lectura en red y la transformación del modo en que circula la información… Un nuevo contexto tecnológico que conduce a la «desaparición de la realidad». El libro explora las pistas anticipatorias en los países tecnológicamente más avanzados, como Japón o Corea del Sur; las profecías contenidas en la literatura visionaria de Bradbury y las viejas polémicas —ya presentes en Rousseau y Diderot— sobre realidad y representación, que vuelven a adquirir vigencia.¿Hacia dónde nos dirigimos como ciudadanos y como lectores? Dice el autor: «Pasamos página gracias al siglo XII, leemos textos impresos gracias al XV, damos un clic gracias al XXI. La lógica de esa aventura depende de la manera de leer. […] Las tradiciones que perduran no son las que se aferran al pasado, sino las que no olvidan su futuro».

Sport Policy

Sport Policy

Sport Policy: a comparative analysis of stability and change builds on the growing general interest in the comparative study of sport policy and the more specific interest in processes of policy change and issues associated with policy convergence. In stark contrast to many other areas of public policy such as education, personal welfare and health care there is a paucity of theoretically informed comparative studies in sport. Over recent years there has been a steady increase in public investment in sport and frequently, as a consequence, a sharper debate about how public resources should be used. However, there has been little analysis of the factors that shape the generation of domestic sport policy and little attempt to identify the variables that might influence the policy process.Sport Policy: a comparative analysis of stability and change provides a theoretically informed analysis of the sports systems in Canada, England, Germany and Norway. These economically advanced countries are carefully selected to enable the investigation of the significance of variables and because they share a number of socio-economic and sports-related characteristics, which provides the text with a unique breadth and depth of coverage. This text is a vital addition to the general paucity of literature in this area and is written by an internationally renowned author team.

Nudge

Intellectual Capital in Organizations

Intellectual Capital in Organizations

In a global competitive economic environment, resources that are scarce or irreplicable are a source of sustained competitive advantage for companies and organizations. Knowledge-based resources are a major and increasing driver of long term competitive advantage. Most accounting standards however do not allow for knowledge-based resource calculations, including the most important of these, intellectual capital. Intellectual capital is the collective knowledge, documented and otherwise, of individuals in an organization. In the absence of accounting standards to numerically evaluate intellectual capital, some institutions have devised their own reports and statements. But why should companies, universities, and research centers measure these resources? How are intellectual capital statements built? How does one set targets, and what indicators should they include? This book reviews the development of the field of intellectual capital reporting, including core concepts, latest developments, the main components of intellectual capital, how a statement is built, and key indicators of each component. It further analyzes experiences from a variety of pioneering companies and institutions around the globe in measuring intellectual capital, including case studies from educational and research institutions, and provides crucial transnational comparisons. Authors Ordóñez de Pablos and Edvinsson examine the challenges and next steps for the harmonization of intellectual capital reports, consider the creation of a special international agency for intellectual capital reporting standards, and evaluate the weaknesses of current standards and how they might be overcome.

Green Business Process Management

Green Business Process Management

Green Business Process Management – Towards the Sustainable Enterprise" consolidates the global state-of-the-art knowledge about how business processes can be managed and improved in light of sustainability objectives.

The book is of relevance to both practitioners and academics who are interested in understanding, designing, and implementing “green” business processes.

Industrial Policy Beyond the Crisis

Industrial Policy Beyond the Crisis

After years of official disrepute, industrial policy (IP) is back in vogue at regional, national and international levels driven by concerns over competitiveness, globalisation, de-industrialisation, unemployment and the comparatively slow growth of the EU economy especially in this post-recession phase. At the same time, IP has been seen as a catalyst for designing economic recovery strategies at regional, national and international levels, as well as being a concerted strategy to develop new ‘clean-tech’ industries to tackle environmental challenges. If anything, the recent global recession and credit crunch have highlighted the fragility of some states’ and localities’ economic development paths and the unbalanced nature of their economies, in terms of an over-reliance on sectors such as retail, financial services, and construction, to the detriment of manufacturing. This also suggests an accompanying need for greater economic diversity so as to avoid over-dependencies on certain sectors, and a better balance of ownerships forms. But what should be the shape of IP in the wake of the crisis and how can IP rebalance economies, help support sustainable development and catalyse new technologies and innovations whilst learning lessons from past experience and debate? This edited volume examines these questions through a wide range of diverse contributions from expert international authors. This book was originally published as a special issue of Policy Studies.
