The Magic Word

Business & Personal Finance

I have this belief-that big or little, praise does win friends, wins respect for yourself, wins you a monetary return, and it helps a Pullman porter, a housewife, an industrialist to bigger, better things. It costs you nothing but a smile-but do be sincere. Like attracts like. Praise and appreciation bring back greater praise and appreciation to you. If you want health, happiness, in your life, if you are seeking riches and success, attune your thoughts to these. Let us remember the truth that we are greater than we know.

Smart World Comment de simples idées deviennent-elles de grandes innovations ? - Tome I

Business & Personal Finance

L'auteur propose d'expliquer au grand public les caractéristiques de l’innovation et d'en analyser les enjeux économiques et politiques. Pour réaliser cet ouvrage, ce féru d'informatique est parti à la rencontre de dirigeants d'entreprises innovantes afin de mieux comprendre leur parcours. Parmi les nombreuses sociétés, citons entre autres Arduino, Rethink Robotics, iRobot, Airinov, ou encore Decathlon. À travers leur histoire, il observe l'impact des inventions sur la société et la manière dont celles-ci la transforment. Les mentalités et les modes de vie des citoyens évoluent au rythme des nouvelles technologies, des crises et des changements impliqués par le progrès. Exemples et graphiques à l'appui, l'auteur donne également un aperçu des grandes tendances et mouvements de notre époque, qu'il considère comme de nouvelles opportunités pour les innovateurs.

L'Entreprise en péril

Business & Personal Finance

Animés d'une volonté de changement, nos dirigeants ont décidé, à la suite d'une longue série de changements dans divers secteurs, de réformer l'entreprise. Or, l'entreprise, organisme privé d'intérêt public, est le cœur même d'une société dont elle encaisse de plus en plus mal les coups, les à-coups, les contrecoups. Plus que de réforme, c'est de sauvetage qu'il devrait être question. Victime des pesanteurs sociologiques et de l'énergie de la crise, l'entreprise est en péril. On peut craindre que, sous les coups de pouce des gouvernants, et sous les coups de force des syndicats révolutionnaires, l'entreprise-panacée ne finisse par assumer la plupart des fonctions dévolues jusqu'ici aux organes de la cité ou de l'État. Nos entreprises réformées ne se changent-elles pas, progressivement, en paroisse, en marché, en maison de la culture, en université, et même en forum ? De ce séisme de réformes pourrait bien jaillir une éruption de paternalisme à odeur de soufre. Les secousses des revendications systématiques précipiteraient ainsi le salariat dans les crevasses de l'ère tertiaire, ou dans les culs-de-basse-fosse d'une féodalité plus contraignante que l'État. D'autre part, les menaces de chômage et les maléfices des mauvaises gestions ne disparaîtront pas comme par magie à l'arrivée de membres du prolétariat dans les conseils de surveillance... Les désenchantements ultimes accablent toujours l'homme à proportion de ses enchantements initiaux. Par l'auteur du Bluff du futur et du Désordinateur.

Unter die Oberfläche

Business & Personal Finance

Warum scheitern so viele Veränderungsprojekte? Warum funktioniert die beste Strategie nicht? Warum widersetzen sich Menschen dem offensichtlich Vernünftigen? Nach über dreißig Jahren in der Unternehmensberatung kenne ich die Antwort: Weil wir an der falschen Stelle suchen. Die meisten Probleme, die Unternehmen zu uns bringen, sind nur Symptome. Digitalisierung funktioniert nicht? Das Symptom ist technische Ablehnung - die Ursache ist Angst vor Kontrollverlust. Abteilungen arbeiten gegeneinander? Das Symptom sind Prozessprobleme - die Ursache ist der Kampf um Bedeutung und Anerkennung. Führungskräfte scheitern? Das Symptom ist mangelnde Kompetenz - die Ursache sind unverarbeitete Ängste und Identitätsfragen. Wir nennen das den Unterschied zwischen Lösungen erster und zweiter Ordnung. Erste Ordnung: Wir sehen ein Problem und lösen es direkt. Schnell. Pragmatisch. Oberflächlich. Zweite Ordnung: Wir fragen, warum das Problem überhaupt existiert. Wir gehen tiefer. Wir konfrontieren Glaubenssätze, kulturelle Überzeugungen, Ängste und Limitierungen. Das ist unbequemer. Schmerzhafter. Aber nachhaltiger. Die Geschichten in diesem Buch handeln von diesem tieferen Blick. Sie erzählen von Unternehmen, die an ihre Grenzen kamen - und von den Menschen dahinter, die lernen mussten, sich selbst zu konfrontieren. Alle Namen und Unternehmen sind frei erfunden. Die Branchen sind verändert, die Details anonymisiert. Aber die Muster sind real. Die Dynamiken sind real. Die Erkenntnisse sind real.
