Oracles
by Donald N. ThompsonWhy Prediction Markets Are Good for BusinessFrom selecting the lead actress in a Broadway musical, to predicting a crucial delay in the delivery of Boeing's 787 Dreamliner months before the CEO knew about it, to accurately forecasting US presidential elections-prediction markets have realized some amazing successes by aggregating the wisdom of crowds.Until now, the potential for this unique approach has remained merely an interesting curiosity. But a handful of innovative organizations-GE, Google, Motorola, Microsoft, Eli Lily, even the CIA-has successfully tapped employee insights to change how business gets done.In Oracles, Don Thompson explains how these and other firms use prediction markets to make better decisions, describing what could be the origins of a social revolution. Thompson shows how prediction markets can: draw on the hidden knowledge of every employee tap the "intellectual bandwidth" of retired employees replace surveys substitute for endless meetingsBy showing successes and failures of real organizations, and identifying the common roadblocks they've overcome, Oracles offers a guide to begin testing expertise against the collective wisdom of employees and the market-all to the benefit of their bottom line.
Oracles, Heroes or Villains: Economic Policymakers, National Politicians and the Power to Shape Markets
by George E. ShambaughIMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde declared central bankers and finance ministers to be the heroes of recent economic crises for taking corrective action while national politicians squabbled. What enabled them to do so? In the wake of Brexit, chaotic trade policies in the United States, and resurgent nationalism around the world, national politicians are quarrelling again, meanwhile the markets are roiling. Can we again depend on economic technocrats to save the day for these national politicians and the rest of us? What happens if they fail or, perhaps worse, go too far? In this timely book, Shambaugh answers these questions using recent economic crises in Argentina, the United States and Europe as case studies for analysing the intersections of power, politics and markets. By specifying the interactions between political uncertainty, market intervention, and investor risk, Shambaugh predicts how economic technocrats manage market behaviour by shifting expectations regarding what national politicians will do and whether their policies will be effective.
Oral History and Business: Disruption and Continuity
by Robert Crawford Matthew BaileyThis book introduces business historians to oral history methodologies and approaches. Using four distinct oral history case studies to explore ideas of disruption and continuity in business history over the second half of the twentieth century, Robert Crawford and Matthew Bailey demonstrate how critical engagement with oral history approaches serves to enhance and enliven business history as well as its relationship with other historical fields. The focus on disruption is used to encompass a broad set of processes such as technological change, the impact of external forces, informal business networks, social constructions of gender, knowledge transfer, firm adaptability and cultural change. The use of oral histories to interpret responses to disruption in the past, and to explore the features characterising business continuity, provides an opportunity to consider the human dimensions, subjective experiences and personal insights of workplace, firm and industry change. It also sheds light on the ways that people and firms respond to disruptive forces through innovation and adaptation – both successfully and unsuccessfully. This succinct and accessible account is essential reading for business historians with little experience in using oral history, as well as those looking to gain deeper insights from their oral history data.

Orchadio's First Two Split Experiments
by David Lane Marco Iansiti Iavor BojinovOrchadio, a direct-to-consumer grocery business, needs to conduct its first two A/B tests-one to evaluate the effectiveness and functioning of its newly redesigned website, and one to market-test four versions of a new banner for the website. To do so, it will rely on a technology management platform designed by Split Software, whose feature flags allow Orchadio engineers to (1) turn specific software features on and off and (2) to limit access to those features to specific groups of website visitors. These capabilities in turn enable A/B feature testing. Split also offers data analytics to allow Orchadio to assess how its tests affect a plethora of Orchadio's business, software, and operating metrics. Orchadio managers now need to decide how to design their experiments for maximum impact, including whether or how to sequence them.

Orchestra Management: Models and Repertoires for the Symphony Orchestra (Routledge Research in the Creative and Cultural Industries)
by Arne HermanEvery orchestra in the world oscillates between crisis and survival. This perpetual movement makes innovation, both in organizational form and in artistic product, vital to the sustainability of the symphony orchestra. Based on case study research in Flanders, Amsterdam and London, this book reflects on the sustainability crisis of the orchestra by framing it as a legitimacy crisis that affects both the orchestra’s artistic and organizational identity. The aim of this book is to explore the dynamics between various and often conflicting factors in the orchestra’s quest for survival, and to show how these organizational dynamics relate to the orchestra’s repertoire. By highlighting the importance of every organization’s specific environment to which it needs to adapt, this book illustrates that the orchestra field is not a field that relies on best practices. The book reflects on conventional as well as innovative orchestra models, making the comparative point of view relevant for academic or practice-based researchers, orchestra managers, policymakers and subsidizing bodies interested in sustainable and future-oriented orchestra management.
Orchestrate Conflict: Leading Adaptive Change by Surfacing and Managing Conflict
by Alexander Grashow Marty Linsky Ronald HeifetzEveryone has a different capacity for tolerating conflict. Some people are comfortable working through conflict, while most avoid it entirely. But surfacing the relevant conflicts is essential if you want to generate progress on adaptive issues. To do this well requires an approach to conflict that teases out the unacknowledged differences in perspectives on the issues that may be preventing the organization from reaching its goals. It requires acknowledging the many competing visions, values, and views that may be present in the organization even if they are not articulated. Orchestrating conflict isn't easy, but this chapter provides seven steps to follow, along with practices that will help you surmount the difficulties of orchestrating conflict and boost your chances of success. This chapter was originally published as chapter 11 of "The Practice of Adaptive Leadership: Tools and Tactics for Changing Your Organization and the World."
Orchestrate the Conflict (How to Creatively Engage Conflict to Achieve Leadership Goals)
by Marty Linsky Ronald A. HeifetzThis chapter notes that addressing tough issues involves managing conflict. Most people's default mind-set is to limit or deflect conflict. But the challenge of leadership when trying to generate adaptive change is to work with differences, passions, and conflicts in a way that diminishes their destructive potential and constructively harnesses their energy. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 5 of "Leadership on the Line."
Orchestrating Adjacency Moves: Strengthening the Core Versus Investing in Adjacencies
by Chris ZookEven the most attractive growth opportunity can turn unattractive, unrealistic, or even destructive when bolted onto the wrong core business, or onto the right business at the wrong time. Building growth on a core business that is prepared to support it, and for which the new adjacency moves might even reinforce the strength of that core rather than draining it of its energy, is crucial. This chapter examines the issue of timing and assessing the state of the core to support growth.
Orchestrating Human-Centered Design
by Guy BoyThe time has come to move into a more humanistic approach of technology and to understand where our world is moving to in the early twenty-first century. The design and development of our future products needs to be orchestrated, whether they be conceptual, technical or organizational. Orchestrating Human-Centered Design presents an Orchestra model that attempts to articulate technology, organizations and people. Human-centered design (HCD) should not be limited to local/short-term/linear engineering, but actively focus on global/long-term/non-linear design, and constantly identify emergent properties from the use of artifacts. Orchestrating Human-Centered Design results from incremental syntheses of courses the author has given at the Florida Institute of Technology in the HCD PhD program. It is focused on technological and philosophical concepts that high-level managers, technicians and all those interested in the design of artifacts should consider. Our growing software -intensive world imposes better knowledge on cognitive engineering, life-critical systems, complexity analysis, organizational design and management, modeling and simulation, and advanced interaction media, and this well-constructed and informative book provides a road map for this.
Orchestrating Value: Population Health in the Digital Age (HIMSS Book Series)
by Susan Irby Pam ArlottoOrchestrating Value: Population Health in the Digital Age focuses on the leadership thinking and mindset changes needed to transition from brick and mortar healthcare to digital health and connected care. The fourth industrial revolution, with convergent disruptions in biology, business models, computer science, and culture, has the potential to transform the healthcare system like never before. Digital health startups, Big Tech and progressive health systems will change the way health and healthcare are delivered to increasingly digitally savvy consumers. This book challenges readers to rethink the role of data and technology in creating and designing the future. Rather than hooking value-based care and population health management onto traditional healthcare business models, it focuses on the emergence of digital ecosystems. Using the analogy of an orchestra, the book introduces the importance of platforms in the formation of communities and markets with network effects to allow participants to collaborate, create, and innovate. With quotes from healthcare industry leaders and change agents, it helps the strategist understand the three stages of the transition from volume to value. As conductor of the orchestra, the CEO must navigate important leadership pivots to move beyond silo-based thinking. Finally, the Care Management Platform is described as a new operating model for population health in the digital age. As the next generation beyond foundational EHRs, capabilities such as interoperability, analytics, care management and patient/consumer engagement will fundamentally change the way healthcare enterprises operate and deliver value to customers.

Order Analysis, Deep Learning, and Connections to Optimization (Vector Optimization)
by Johannes JahnThis book introduces readers to order analysis and various aspects of deep learning, and describes important connections to optimization, such as nonlinear optimization as well as vector and set optimization. Besides a review of the essentials, this book consists of two main parts. The first main part focuses on the introduction of order analysis as an application-driven theory, which allows to treat order structures with an analytical approach. Applications of order analysis to nonlinear optimization, as well as vector and set optimization with fixed and variable order structures, are discussed in detail. This means there are close ties to finance, operations research, and multicriteria decision making. Deep learning is the subject of the second main part of this book. In addition to the usual basics, the focus is on gradient methods, which are investigated in the context of complex models with a large number of parameters. And a new fast variant of a gradient method is presented in this part. Finally, the deep learning approach is extended to data sets given by set-valued data. Although this set-valued approach is more computationally intensive, it has the advantage of producing more robust predictions. This book is primarily intended for researchers in the fields of optimization, order theory, or artificial intelligence (AI), but it will also benefit graduate students with a general interest in these fields. The book assumes that readers have a basic understanding of functional analysis or at least basic analysis. By unifying and streamlining existing approaches, this work will also appeal to professionals seeking a comprehensive and straightforward perspective on AI or order theory approaches.
Order Ethics: An Ethical Framework for the Social Market Economy
by Christoph Luetge Nikil MukerjiThis book examines the theoretical foundations of order ethics and discusses business ethics problems from an order ethics perspective. Order ethics focuses on the social order and the institutional environment in which individuals interact. It is a well-established paradigm in European business ethics. The book contains articles written by leading experts in the field and provides both a concise introduction to order ethics and short summary articles homing in on specific aspects of the order-ethical paradigm. It presents contributions describing fundamental concepts, historical roots, and the economic, social, and philosophical background of the theory. The second part of the handbook focuses on the theory's application in business, society, and politics, casting new light on an array of topics that loom large in contemporary ethical discourse.
