"Until Copernicus, no one had ever considered that Earth might not be the center of the Universe... and then that paradigm fell. In this day and age, with the world spinning at dizzying speed, is there still anyone who thinks that a company can only be organized hierarchically, with departments and functional areas, like a perfect production machine? Another world is possible, and we must build it. After meeting with more than a hundred CEOs, Alberto Delgado and Alfonso Ramos have identified the strengths and weaknesses of companies and their leaders in order to propose a new model: Blue Organizations. Executives told them that Taylorist control is obsolete and that a different type of leadership is much more effective. The new companies will be characterized by eight key competencies, which will enable them to compete in a different, more decisive, and more successful way. These eight competencies are described in Blue Organizations: Leaders of the Digital Age, a book that details what these companies are like, how they act, and how your company can become one of them"--Back cover.

This edited collection features state-of-the art scholarship by diverse contributors on a contemporary array of compelling and contentious gender and politics concerns.
It has become increasingly apparent that humanity's complex social, political, and economic systems are incompatible with the finite capacity of the Earth to replenish resources and absorb wastes. If the planet is to continue to be habitable for the myriad web of other creatures that make life possible, humans must transform their systems so that they are aligned with natural systems. One thing is sure?it will not be Nature's laws, the delicate interdependence that characterizes Earth's ecosystems, that change. The change must begin within each person, and from there permeate throughout our social, political, and economic structures. The contributors to this volume believe that such transfor...
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
