Designing through Planetary Breakdown: Locating Material Knowledge and Practical Skill
by Jesse Adams Stein Chantel CarrIn an era of profound environmental and geopolitical uncertainty, Designing through Planetary Breakdown offers fresh perspectives on design’s evolving role in the face of planetary change. This unique collection emphasises practices and perspectives at the edges of conventional design, encompassing craft, material knowledge, repair, manual skills, creative practice and non-professional design, to reveal how design can address urgent challenges in grounded, hands-on ways.Structured into two sections – Skills and Capacities, and Care and Generative Practices – the chapters cover a rich range of topics examining both traditional and emerging approaches to making, caring and maintaining. Readers will find reflections on community-led adaptive urban heat strategies in Western Sydney, First Nations’ perspectives on design labour, repair-led design education initiatives, and the ethical and social dimensions of global supply chains. The book journeys through a wide range of empirical examples, including from Cuba, Indonesia, Spain and Australia, offering insights into generative transformations of materials and technologies. It demonstrates how design, expanded beyond the traditional professional confines, can foster practical responses to global issues.Designing through Planetary Breakdown is ideal for scholars, students, designers and craftspeople across design studies, design anthropology, repair and discard studies, craft studies and more broadly in the humanities and social sciences. Practical and deeply social, this collection offers a call to action: a guide for all hands to shape a future not just of survival, but of regeneration and collective action. The Introduction and Chapter 3 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
Designing with Society: A Capabilities Approach to Design, Systems Thinking and Social Innovation
by Scott BoylstonThis book explores an emerging design culture that rigorously applies systems thinking to the practice of design as a form of facilitating change on an increasingly crowded planet. Designers conversant in topics such as living systems, cultural competence, social justice, and power asymmetries can contribute their creative skills to the world of social innovation to help address the complex social challenges of the 21st century. By establishing a foundation built on the capabilities approach to human development, designers have an opportunity to transcend previous disciplinary constraints, and redefine our understanding of design agency. With an emphasis on developing an adaptability to dynamic situations, the cultivation of diversity, and an insistence on human dignity, this book weaves together theories and practices from diverse fields of thought and action to provide designers with a concrete yet flexible set of actionable design principles. And, with the aim of equipping designers with the ability to drive long-term, sustainable change, it proposes a new set of design competences that emphasize a deeper mindfulness of our interdependence; with each other, and with our life-giving natural systems. It’s a call to action to use design and design thinking as a tool to transform our collective worldviews toward an appreciation for what we all hold in common; a hope and a belief that our future is a place where all of humankind will flourish.

Designing, Conducting, and Publishing Quality Research in Mathematics Education (Research in Mathematics Education)
by Keith R. LeathamThe purpose of this book is to collect, organize and disseminate collective wisdom with respect to designing, conducting, and publishing quality research in mathematics education. This wisdom will be gleaned from among those who, over the past several decades, have been instrumental in guiding the field in the pursuit of excellence in mathematics education research—insightful editors, educative reviewers, prolific writers, and caring mentors. Each chapter is written to the novice researcher with the intent of aiding them in avoiding common pitfalls, navigating difficult intellectual terrain, and understanding that they are not alone in experiencing rejection, frustration, confusion, and doubt. This book differs from existing literature in the sense that it is written about the enterprise of designing, conducting and publishing research in mathematics education as opposed to being reports of the results of such work. It also differs in the sense that it is written with the intent to mentor the rising generation as opposed to capture the state of the field (as would happen in a handbook, for example). It is written for the express purpose of helping the field work collectively to aid in the often isolated enterprise of mentoring new researchers. The primary audience is a potentially wide one: graduate students, novice researchers, graduate faculty, advisors, and mentors – or anyone seeking to improve their own abilities to design, conduct, and publish quality research in mathematics education.
Designing, Selecting, Implementing and Using APS Systems
by Vincent C. S. Wiers A. Ton G. De KokCommercial advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems have been around for about 25 years and have seen widespread adoption in a variety of companies. The promises made by APS system implementations are high, and at the same time, APS projects are complex, costly, and carry a significant risk of failure. There is a great need for guidance on how to successfully implement APS systems, which is why this book was written. In this book, we aim to discuss all facets of APS implementation, from theoretical background to definition, vendor selection, system design and the implementation process. In addition, this book helps readers understand how the underlying concepts were formed, why a concept will work in practice, and when it will not. The contents of this book are based on many years of academic research and APS implementation experience. It draws together theory and practice in production control and explains how theories can be applied to support planning and scheduling processes in practice. This book will help anyone involved in APS implementations to achieve success: human planners generate better plans than before, using the APS.
Designs by Kate: The Power of Direct Sales
by Sarah L. Abbott John DeightonThe sales representatives at Designs by Kate (DBK) sell private label jewelry at hosted parties and through online social media channels. They are also responsible for recruiting, training, and managing new sales reps. CEO and founder Kate Creevey designed the commission plan to encourage sales reps to build teams and become "leaders" for their teams. The strategy has been very successful over the company's first five years. Now the CEO is concerned that growth in top-line revenue is slowing, possibly due to an unwillingness by current sales representatives to build and manage their own sales teams. A survey reveals that many sales reps believe their incomes from jewelry sales decline when they add members to their sales teams due to increased competition for hosting parties within the same geographic area. The CEO must revisit the commission structure to determine if it is still an effective incentive. The case includes a quantitative assignment that students should complete as part of case analysis.
Desigualdad
by Nicolás EyzaguirreUn contundente ensayo sobre los orígenes históricos de la desigualdad en Chile y sobre cómo salir de esta fatídica condición Durante más de dos siglos Chile ha sido un país construido sobre la base de instituciones oligárquicas, las cuales han impedido un equitativo progreso social. Es lo que algunos analistas, a mediados del siglo XX, denominaron como "desarrollo frustrado". Bajo la modalidad de análisis ofrecida por la "economía comprada" (tal y como lo hicieran Robinson y Acemoglu en Por qué fracasan los países), Nicolás Eyzaguirre compara el desarrollo económico-político latinoamericano con el caso chileno, haciendo un repaso histórico que va desde las ciudades-estado griegas, pasando por el descubrimiento del "Nuevo Mundo" a la travesía chilena durante los siglos XIX y XX; esto, con el propósito de ofrecer un nuevo panorama para el futuro.

Deskless Work und Personalmanagement: Ideen, Praxiserfahrungen und Möglichkeiten zur Flexibilisierung der Arbeit
by Peter M. WaldFrontline, Deskless, BlueCollar-Worker und gewerbliche Arbeitnehmer. Es existieren zahlreiche Begriffe zur Beschreibung der Mitarbeitenden, die ihre Tätigkeit „nicht am Schreibtisch&“, sondern „deskless&“ erledigen müssen. Erfahrungsgemäß zählen diese Mitarbeitergruppen jedoch nicht zu denen, die Vorteile aus den derzeit genutzten Formen der Flexibilisierung der Arbeit, wie dem Homeoffice oder der Anywhere-Organisation, ziehen können. Auch die Digitalisierung scheint bei diesen Mitarbeitergruppen bislang nur partiell anzukommen. Im Gegenteil: Oft gelten hier vielerorts recht starre Regelungen, die eine Berücksichtigung der berechtigten Wünsche der Mitarbeiter nach einer Flexibilisierung der Arbeit nicht oder nur in geringem Maße zulassen. Damit vergeben viele Unternehmen nicht nur Möglichkeiten für Produktivitätsgewinne, sondern auch ihre Arbeitgeberattraktivität leidet nachhaltig. Die Diskussion neuer Möglichkeiten zur Überwindung dieser Situation steht im Zentrum dieses Buches.
Deskriptives Data-Mining
by David L. Olson Georg LauhoffDieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über Data-Mining-Methoden, die durch Software veranschaulicht werden. Beim Wissensmanagement geht es um die Anwendung von menschlichem Wissen (Erkenntnistheorie) mit den technologischen Fortschritten unserer heutigen Gesellschaft (Computersysteme) und Big Data, sowohl bei der Datenerfassung als auch bei der Datenanalyse. Es gibt drei Arten von Analyseinstrumenten. Die deskriptive Analyse konzentriert sich auf Berichte über das, was passiert ist. Bei der prädiktiven Analyse werden statistische und/oder künstliche Intelligenz eingesetzt, um Vorhersagen treffen zu können. Dazu gehört auch die Modellierung von Klassifizierungen. Die diagnostische Analytik kann die Analyse von Sensoreingaben anwenden, um Kontrollsysteme automatisch zu steuern. Die präskriptive Analytik wendet quantitative Modelle an, um Systeme zu optimieren oder zumindest verbesserte Systeme zu identifizieren. Data Mining umfasst deskriptive und prädiktive Modellierung. Operations Research umfasst alle drei Bereiche. Dieses Buch konzentriert sich auf die deskriptive Analytik.Das Buch versucht, einfache Erklärungen und Demonstrationen einiger deskriptiver Werkzeuge zu liefern. Es bietet Beispiele für die Auswirkungen von Big Data und erweitert die Abdeckung von Assoziationsregeln und Clusteranalysen. Kapitel 1 gibt einen Überblick im Kontext des Wissensmanagements. Kapitel 2 erörtert einige grundlegende Softwareunterstützung für die Datenvisualisierung. Kapitel 3 befasst sich mit den Grundlagen der Warenkorbanalyse, und Kapitel 4 demonstriert die RFM-Modellierung, ein grundlegendes Marketing-Data-Mining-Tool. Kapitel 5 demonstriert das Assoziationsregel-Mining. Kapitel 6 befasst sich eingehender mit der Clusteranalyse. Kapitel 7 befasst sich mit der Link-Analyse. Die Modelle werden anhand geschäftsbezogener Daten demonstriert. Der Stil des Buches ist beschreibend und versucht zu erklären, wie die Methoden funktionieren, mit einigen Zitaten, aber ohne tiefgehende wissenschaftliche Referenzen. Die Datensätze und die Software wurden so ausgewählt, dass sie für jeden Leser, der über einen Computeranschluss verfügt, weithin verfügbar und zugänglich sind.

Desperately Seeking Growth: Focus on Your Core Business to Generate Profitable Growth
by James Allen Chris ZookInternational bestseller Profit from the Core was originally published in 2001 and helped many companies find their way back to profitable growth after the Internet bubble burst. Now, the fully updated edition points the way forward in today's economy with new examples and data that demonstrate how companies have met the challenges and opportunities of turbulent times by returning to their core businesses. The most important issue management teams have always faced is how to grow their companies. In a world of turbulent economies and scarce resources, are you wondering where your next wave of profitable growth will come from? This chapter argues that, now more than ever, the key to unlocking hidden sources of growth and profits is to renew focus on your core business. Short case studies of companies like Bausch & Lomb, Amazon, and The Gartner Group demonstrate how some have profited from their core business, even through tough times, while others have strayed too far from the core-to disastrous results. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 1 of Profit from the Core (Updated Edition): A Return to Growth in Turbulent Times.
Desperately Seeking Solutions: Rationing Health Care
by David J. HunterFollowing the Governments health reforms in 1991 rationing has been put firmly on the agenda. This book identifies and clarifies the numerous political and ethical issues surrounding rationing in healthcare. Drawing upon international examples it offers a critical overview of the approaches to rationing and makes practical proposals for its management.Desperately Seeking Solutions challenges the assumption that all health services are inherently subject to rationing as demand invariably outstrips supply and examines this within a comparative framework. The author critically evaluates the extent to which rationing has always existed and should exist within the NHS, although until recently it operated on an implicit rather than explicit basis and was bound up with clinical judgements rather than purely financial considerations. The author questions whether calls for explicit rationing are actually desirable and potentially feasible.
Desperately Seeking Synergy
by Andrew Campbell Michael GooldManagers can separate the real opportunities for synergy from the mirages, say Michael Goold and Andrew Campbell of the Ashridge Strategic Management Centre, by taking a more disciplined approach to synergy. Corporate executives have strong biases in favor of synergy, and those biases can lead them into ill-advised attempts to force business units to cooperate--even when the ultimate benefits are unclear. These biases take four forms: 1) the synergy bias, which leads executives to overestimate the benefits and underestimate the costs of synergy; 2) the parenting bias, a belief that synergy will be captured only by cajoling or compelling business units to cooperate; 3) the skills bias--the assumption that whatever know-how is required to achieve synergy will be available within the organization; and 4) the upside bias, which causes executives to concentrate so hard on the potential benefits of synergy that they overlook the possible downside risks. In combination, these four biases make synergy seem more attractive and more easily achievable than it truly is. As a result, corporate executives often launch initiatives that ultimately waste time and money and sometimes even severely damage their businesses. To avoid such failures, executives need to subject all synergy opportunities to a clear-eyed analysis that clarifies the benefits to be gained, examines the potential for corporate involvement, and takes into account the possible downsides. Such a disciplined approach will inevitably mean that fewer initiatives will be launched. But those that are pursued will be far more likely to deliver.
Despierta el genio financiero de tus hijos: ¿Por qué los estudiantes de 10 trabajan para estudiantes de 6 y los estudian
by Robert T. KiyosakiLa guía definitiva del Padre Rico para que los padres brinden la mejor educación financiera a sus hijos. El autor del bestseller Padre Rico, Padre Pobre, Robert T. Kiyosaki, nos enseña a educar a nuestros hijos a nivel financiero. ¿Qué parte de la crisis financiera de hoy en día es resultado de una crisis de educación...o de falta de educación? ¿Y qué puede hacer un padre, hoy desde casa, para darles a sus hijos una ventaja financiera? En 1997 se lanzó Padre Rico, Padre Pobre y no ha dejado de ser un bestseller desde entonces. Hoy es, en el mundo, el libro de finanzas personales más vendido de todos los tiempos. Esta nueva obra de Kiyosaki insta a los padres a que dejen de obsesionarse con las calificaciones de sus hijos (que sólo reflejan que el estudiante cabe en el molde que la escuela quiere crear) y mejor se enfoquen en los conceptos, las ideas y la ayuda que sus hijos necesitan para encontrar su verdadero "genio", ese don único y especial, por un camino que, además, se puede construir con amor y verdadera pasión. Siempre le pregunté a mis profesores: "¿Por qué no me enseñas algo sobre el dinero?". No fueron capaces de darme una respuesta. [...]. Este libro es para los padres que quieren preparar a sus hijos para un mundo de constantes transformaciones; para enseñarles qué hacer con el dinero, temas que las escuelas no tocan y por consiguiente, no los preparan en cuanto a educación financiera, no los preparan para el mundo... El mundo real del dinero. - Robert T. Kiyosaki
Despotism on Demand: How Power Operates in the Flexible Workplace
by Alex J. WoodDespotism on Demand draws attention to the impact of flexible scheduling on managerial power and workplace control. When we understand paid work as a power relationship, argues Alex J. Wood, we see how the spread of precarious scheduling constitutes flexible despotism; a novel regime of control within the workplace.Wood believes that flexible despotism represents a new domain of inequality, in which the postindustrial working class increasingly suffers a scheduling nightmare. By investigating two of the largest retailers in the world he uncovers how control in the contemporary "flexible firm" is achieved through the insidious combination of "flexible discipline" and "schedule gifts." Flexible discipline provides managers with an arbitrary means by which to punish workers, but flexible scheduling also requires workers to actively win favor with managers in order to receive "schedule gifts": more or better hours. Wood concludes that the centrality of precarious scheduling to control means that for those at the bottom of the postindustrial labor market the future of work will increasingly be one of flexible despotism.
Después del trabajo: El empleo argentino en la cuarta Revolución Industrial
by Eduardo Levy Yeyati¿Hay vida después del trabajo? Con optimismo o desesperanza, con retórica académica o de charla de café, hace tiempo sabemos, escuchamos o intuimos que el trabajo, como lo conocemos, seguirá siendo desplazado por la tecnología. ¿Preocupación "de países desarrollados"? Cada vez tenemos más evidencia para afirmar que no: la pregunta por el futuro del empleo en la Argentina no solo es relevante, también es urgente. Y tal vez no se trate de si seremos reemplazados por robots y cuándo, sino de discutir las consecuencias de una sustitución inevitable sobre nuestro bienestar y nuestra cultura. ¿Somos capaces de convertir progreso tecnológico en herramienta liberadora? Este libro apuesta a esa posibilidad y brinda los insumos para pensarla y formularla en términos de política pública. Basado en una investigación sin precedentes, traza un mapa del trabajo en la Argentina de hoy, presenta sus perspectivas a futuro y, sobre todo, invita a entender las consecuencias de un cambio de dimensiones históricas que golpea cada vez más cerca de casa.
