Social Business Transformation: Werkzeuge für erfolgreiche digitale Zusammenarbeit in Unternehmen
by Christian Zinke-Wehlmann Julia FriedrichDie Zukunft der Arbeit verlagert sich zunehmend in den digitalen Raum. Deutsche Unternehmen positionieren sich in der Gestaltung dieses Raumes bislang häufig in der Rolle der Nachzügler, weil sie die Bedeutung des Einsatzes sozialer Technologien (z.B. Enterprise Social Networks) für das Unternehmen unterschätzen. Das resultierende Risiko im globalen Wettbewerb unterzugehen, ist gerade für den Mittelstand erheblich.Um zukunftsfähige Wege einzuschlagen, braucht es neue Gestaltungsansätze. Einer davon ist Social Business. Social Business wird im vorliegenden Werk als ganzheitliches Konzept beschrieben, welches durch den systematischen Einsatz digitaler und kollaborativer Werkzeuge neue Möglichkeiten der Innovation und Wertschöpfung schafft. Soziale Technologien ermöglichen eine proaktive Gestaltung unternehmensinterner und -übergreifender Prozesse und bieten insbesondere im Wissensmanagement, in der Kommunikation sowie der Zusammenarbeit produktionssteigernde Potenziale.Im Rahmen dieses Werkes werden praktische Anwendungen, Konzepte zur Umsetzung von Social Business und Leitlinien für den Transformationsprozess wissenschaftlich fundiert und praxisnah präsentiert.

Documentary Across Platforms: Reverse Engineering Media, Place, and Politics
by Patricia R. ZimmermannEssays “capturing media ecologies as varied as museum installations, film festival showings, photography, and multiple varieties of internet sharing.” —Jump CutIn Documentary Across Platforms, noted scholar of film and experimental media Patricia R. Zimmermann offers a glimpse into the ever-evolving constellation of practices known as “documentary” and the way in which they investigate, engage with, and interrogate the world.Collected here for the first time are her celebrated essays and speculations about documentary, experimental, and new media published outside of traditional scholarly venues. These essays envision documentary as a complex ecology composed of different technologies, sets of practices, and specific relationships to communities, engagement, politics, and social struggles. Through the lens of reverse engineering—the concept that ideas, just like objects, can be disassembled to learn how they work and then rebuilt into something new and better—Zimmermann explores how numerous small-scale documentary works present strategies of intervention into existing power structures. Adaptive to their context, modular, and unfixed, the documentary practices she explores exploit both sophisticated high-end professional and consumer-grade amateur technologies, moving through different political terrains, different platforms, and different exhibition contexts.Together these essays demonstrate documentary’s role as a conceptual practice to think through how the world is organized and to imagine ways that it might be reorganized with actions, communities, and ideas.

Python Descriptors
by Jacob ZimmermanThis short book on Python descriptors is a collection of knowledge and ideas from many sources on dealing with and creating descriptors. And, after going through the things all descriptors have in common, the author explores ideas that have multiple ways of being implemented as well as completely new ideas never seen elsewhere before. This truly is a comprehensive guide to creating Python descriptors. As a bonus: A pip install-able library, descriptor_tools, was written alongside this book and is an open source library on GitHub. There aren't many good resources out there for writing Python descriptors, and extremely few books. This is a sad state of affairs, as it makes it difficult for Python developers to get a really good understanding of how descriptors work and the techniques to avoid the big gotchas associated with working with them. What You Will Learn Discover descriptor protocols Master attribute access and how it applies to descriptors Make descriptors and discover why you should Store attributes Create read-only descriptors and _delete() Explore the descriptor classes Apply the other uses of descriptors and more Who This Book Is For Experienced Python coders, programmers and developers.
