Description du produit

The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities. This book introduces the idea of design thinking, the collaborative process by which the designer's sensibilities and methods are employed to match people's needs not only with what is technically feasible and a viable business strategy. In short, design thinking converts need into demand. It's a human-centered approach to problem solving that helps people and organizations become more innovative and more creative. Design thinking is not just applicable to so-called creative industries or people who work in the design field. It's a methodology that has been used by health organizations to increase the quality of patient care by re-examining the ways that their nurses manage shift change, or rethink supply chain management.

Description du produit

This revolutionary study of how the place where we grew up shapes the way we think, feel, and act - with new dimensions and perspectives. Based on research conducted in more than seventy countries over a forty-year span, "Cultures and Organizations" examines what drives people apart - when cooperation is so clearly in everyone's interest. With major new contributions from Michael Minkov's analysis of data from the World Values Survey, as well as an account of the evolution of cultures by Gert Jan Hofstede, this revised and expanded edition: reveals the 'moral circles' from which national societies are built and the unexamined rules by which people think, feel, and act; explores how national cultures differ in the areas of inequality, assertiveness versus modesty, and tolerance for ambiguity; explains how organizational cultures differ from national cultures - and how they can be managed; and, analyzes stereotyping, differences in language, cultural roots of the 2008 economic crisis, and other intercultural dynamics.
