Intellectual Capital (IC) has become synonymous with the Knowledge Economy, whereby the intangible resources of organisations are linked to the development of value. However, take up has been problematic, causing some pundits to question if it's simply 'locked' in theory. This book seeks to 'unlock' IC by offering a practical understanding of the IC paradigm since its inception, and takes a critical and performative examination of IC research and practices, whilst offering practical examples of how to implement it successfully. Viewed from both an academic and practioner perspective, this book is useful for students and wanting to apply IC effectively.

Over the last two decades, the term Intellectual Capital (IC) has become synonymous with the knowledge economy, whereby the intangible resources of organisations are linked to the development of value. In order to develop this new way of managing organisations, numerous frameworks have been developed to measure, manage and report IC. However, the take up of IC has been problematic, causing some pundits to question if it’s simply 'locked up' in theory. This book seeks to 'unlock' IC so it can become relevant to organisations in the creation of value. It offers practical understanding of how the IC paradigm has progressed since its inception and takes a critical and performative examination of IC research and practices. Based on the authors’ extensive experience, it provides real practical examples of how IC has been implemented in practice.This is the first book on IC that is written from a combined academic and practitioner perspective addressing what is defined as the third stage of IC research 'based on a critical and performative analysis of IC practices in action'. The book is therefore useful for both academics and practitioners - not only to understand how IC works, but to question how it can be applied effectively in different contexts.

This book simplifies the process regarding the application of usability to medical devices for new developers by providing a thought-out walkthrough of what is involved and how the expectations from the essential standards affect their work and why. Based on the authors' experiences, the information in the book provides other more seasoned experts with a wealth of insight and nuggets of new perspectives on addressing the usability of medical devices, particularly medical software.The discussion in the book is rooted in recent real-world experiences from both the manufacturer and assessment body sides-the authors provide a novel high-level "roadmap" to using usability engineering to guide development activities from initial conceptual design to research, development, and ultimately release of a medical device. They build toward this map throughout the book and ultimately present the full model. This roadmap is the result of the authors' experiences of taking a research project and launching both a medical device and a medical device business after obtaining all the necessary regulatory approvals.The book helps product developers to understand the usability requirements around their own work, and to also better understand their users and to present the expected usability information in a way that is readily understood by the auditors. Managers of such work will also greatly benefit from the discussion of the required deliverables and the goals of the usability activities. Finally, the authors ease the divide between manufacturers and healthcare professionals using medical devices. By simultaneously showing the requirements for the manufacturer's development process and also discussing the realities of work on the healthcare side, the authors facilitate collaboration.

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change

The Ultimate Disruption

To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge premium prices to thousands of eager subscribers. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes by analysing the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button. Useful reading for the general reader and for students and researchers involved with business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Traditionally, the presence of pornography in American society has been mediated by two primary factors: legal restrictions and the relatively high cost of the product. The degree of legal restrictions on adult material has varied from era to era and community to community, but the porn premium has remained relatively constant. Given this, these should be heady days for adult business owners. Thanks to the Internet, distribution costs are virtually nil and even the most hardcore content is easily accessible in the smallest coastal hamlet and most rural farmhouse in America. Adult industry balance sheets should be bulging with profit. But in reality, far from it. The World Wide Web has completely eradicated both the legal restrictions and premium cost that used to govern adult industry economics. To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never has so much pornography been available to so many people for so little. This is the story of how the online adult industry has plummeted from its lofty heights of the late 1990s, when a savvy Web entrepreneur could charge thousands of eager subscribers premium prices. It is also the story of how the law has completely failed to keep pace with the technological innovations that boosted and then savaged the online adult industry. It concludes with a detailed analysis of the social impact of virtually unlimited pornography of every description, available to all ages at the click of a button.Accessible to the general reader, this book will appeal to those who want to know more about the adult entertainment industry in America and will prove useful reading for students and researchers involved with a wide variety of academic disciplines including business strategy, the history of technology, cultural studies, sexuality, media studies and technology more generally.

Fundamentals of Construction Project Delivery Systems advocates for a transformative approach that places emphasis on integrated methodologies such as design-build and integrated project delivery. In addition, this book embraces new approaches in the industry: framework and program-based procurement.Unlike conventional perspectives that view project delivery as a mere administrative process and a set of rules/features, this book challenges this notion. It proposes a shift in perspective, positioning the project delivery system as a design endeavor to define an organizational structure. Here, the owner is envisioned as actively adjusting the degree of organizational integration and interest alignment responding to the given internal and external context. Divided into four parts, this book begins by introducing project delivery systems before covering selection methods and contract types in Part 2. The third section goes into detail on four delivery project methods: Design-Bid-Build, CM-at-Risk, Design-Build, and Integrated Project Delivery and follows a similar chapter structure with a case study to demonstrate the method. The final part looks to the future covering new procurement trends, innovation, culture, and efficiency.This book offers practical guidance on how owners can effectively leverage integrated approaches to enhance project outcomes. For educational purposes, this book offers guidance for undergraduate and graduate students in project delivery method courses within construction management programs.
