Generative AI in Software Development

A Practical Guide for Engineering Leaders

The digital revolution has significantly transformed the global business landscape. As digital technologies continue to disrupt traditional business models, organizations across sectors are compelled to rethink their strategies for growth, resilience, and sustainability. The convergence of innovation, artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and digital marketing has not only created new avenues for competitiveness but also brought forth complex challenges for businesses aiming to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. This book, "Navigating Digital Disruption - Strategies for Sustainable Business Management", is a scholarly compilation of selected research papers presented at the International Conference on Advanced Research in Digital Age (ICARD-25) held at BIITM, Bhubaneswar. The contributions in this volume stem from rigorous academic inquiry and practical insights, aimed at offering a roadmap for managing digital trans¿formation while ensuring sustainability.

Navigating Digital Disruption: Strategies for sustainable business management

A Process Roadmap for Distinctive Products and Services

Differentiation by Design

Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology

Increasingly firms are moving away from the 'closed innovation paradigm' in which most R&amp;D is carried out in-house, in isolation and secrecy, to a more open way of working in which firms actively collaborate with other companies and institutions. Although this 'open innovation' is receiving more attention in academic research, the existing literature is largely qualitative and focused on the practices of high-technology multi-national firms and generally ignores the work being carried out in this area by SMEs. Using a combination of theory and cutting edge empirical (quantitative) investigation, Pooran Wynarczyk strives to address this major gap in current literature.

The Dynamics of Open Innovation in SMEs

How the rise of AI agents--and other forms of autonomous intelligence--will transform every aspect of how companies create value and compete.Companies have long operated with a basic assumption: intelligence is scarce. Talent is limited, expertise is expensive, and good judgment is hard to scale. But that world is ending.AI agents are bringing a new form of labor into the enterprise--one that can work autonomously, learn continuously, and scale instantly. Their embodied counterparts, from drones to humanoid robots, are doing the same in the physical world. Together, these systems are introducing a new economic reality: cognition is becoming cheap, elastic, and abundant.In Abundant Intelligence, Deloitte's Nitin Mittal and futurist Mike Walsh show what happens when intelligence becomes cheap and widely available. Drawing on inside access to the people leading AI transformations at the world's most powerful companies, they uncover how this shift is challenging every assumption about strategy, productivity, and leadership, and what organizations must do now to stay ahead.As abundance becomes the new normal, the leader's job shifts from collecting intelligence to directing it. Those who learn to harness this expanding workforce of digital labor will unlock new levels of speed, creativity, and advantage. For everyone else, the gap will widen fast.

How Digital Labor Will Rewrite the Rules of Business

Creative thinking, which the most successful companies that develop the most innovative products rely on, has evolved into to creative resilience - the technique to persevere with problems and solve them faster. The approach will help business leaders create both the physical and mental agility to build an operating environment that supports successful ideation and adopts different ways of approaching complex problems. The reader will become more 'creatively resilient' and flexible to adopt non-habitual modes of thought that move them towards creative solutions that they can apply to very specific business and technical challenges. The basic framework is called 'Stormblending' - a four-phased approach that focuses on a collection of different tools that can be applied to deliver the value from each phase. The four phases are presented in the context of the full product development lifecycle. They are: <ol> <li>Immersion (Ethnographically inspired Contextual Inquiry/Voice of customer). </li> <li>Representation (How to best represent and frame specific problems and opportunities to create the right conditions for successful idea generation). </li> <li>Divergent thinking techniques to disrupt and reframe the problem as the reader will learn how to adopt non-habitual modes of thought. </li> <li>Emergence and Discovery (this when most we experience the 'A-Ha!' moment) </li> </ol>Traditionally, most companies make the mistake of stressing ideation only without thought to how the ideas are then prioritised, built upon, and turned into a reality for profitable growth. Practitioners and business professionals, from start-ups to global corporations, will gain an initial overview on creativity, the purpose of ideation, and what it means to translate insights into innovation in real-time - in the boardroom, during periods of introspection, or during the facilitation of cross functional teams and workshops that demand the specialist skills provided in this book.

How to Accomplish Successful Ideation through Creative Resilience

Creative Thinking for Business Leaders

Studies in National Governance and Emerging Technologies

This book examines how artificial intelligence systems and their applications in security and defence are entangled with governance and policy processes in the EU. Combining concepts and insights from (critical) security studies and science and technology studies, it argues that behind the various AI-related policy initiatives in the EU are particular narratives on security and defence based on European fears of technological innovation and strategic gaps. In this respect, the book casts light on how such beliefs have become increasingly instrumentalized in the European governance dynamics, and subsequently embedded in successive policy initiatives and security and defence research programmes. It challenges conventional understandings of AI technologies as mere security and defence-enabling instruments, by providing a conceptually driven analysis of how certain visions of AI help govern and control one of the most dynamic emergent socio-technical fields. The book will appeal to all those interested in artificial intelligence, security studies, technology and European governance.&nbsp;
 
 Raluca Csernatoni is a Research Fellow at Carnegie Europe, where she works on the nexus between European defence and emerging technologies. She is also Guest Professor at the Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy (CSDS), Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, and Visiting Faculty in the Department of International Relations, Central European University, Austria.
