The Innovator's Dilemma. The Innovator's Dilemma When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail By Clayton M. Christensen Harvard Business School Press (C) 1997President and Fellows of Harvard College All rights reserved. ISBN: 0-87584-585-1 How Can Great Firms Fail? When I began my search for an answer to the puzzle of why the best firms can fail, a friend offered some sage advice. Indeed, nowhere in the history of business has there been an industry like disk drives, where changes in technology, market structure, global scope, and vertical integration have been so pervasive, rapid, and unrelenting. This chapter summarizes the history of the disk drive industry in all its complexity. The history of the disk drive industry provides a framework for understanding when "keeping close to your customers" is good advice--and when it is not. Disk drives write and read information that computers use. A team of researchers at IBM's San Jose research laboratories developed the first disk drive between 1952 and 1956.
Présidentielle 2007 : l'irruption des internautes dans la c. Dans le cadre des Premières rencontres du 5e pouvoir, qui se sont déroulées le 24 mars 2007 à Saint-Denis, AgoraVox, le média citoyen, a presenté son premier ouvrage collectif rédigé par ses rédacteurs : Présidentielle 2007 L'irruption des internautes dans la campagne Ouvrage collectif coordonné par Carlo Revelli (Éditions Le Manuscrit) Quelles influences, déclarées ou discrètes, s'exercent sur les médias traditionnels ? Dans quelles circonstances la mise en scène de la peur est-elle utilisée comme argument politique et journalistique ? Comment les sondages sont-ils instrumentalisés ? Y a-t-il orchestration autour de la bipolarisation de la scène politique française et de la figure du « troisième homme » ?
Ces questions sont au cœur de ce livre, croisement entre divers articles publiés au cours des derniers mois sur ce qu'on appelle aujourd'hui un média citoyen, AgoraVox, autour du thème de l'élection présidentielle 2007.

The real not-capital is labor. -Karl Marx, Grundrisse Working in the digital media industry is not as much fun as it is made out to be. The “NetSlaves” of the eponymous Webzine are becoming increasingly vociferous about the shamelessly exploitative nature of the job, its punishing work rhythms, and its ruthless casualization.
They talk about “24-7 electronic sweatshops” and complain about the ninety-hour weeks and the “moronic management of new media companies.” In early 1999, seven of the fifteen thousand “volunteers” of America Online (AOL) rocked the info-loveboat by asking the Department of Labor to investigate whether AOL owes them back wages for the years of playing chathosts for free. These events point to a necessary backlash against the glamorization of digital labor, which highlights its continuities with the modern sweatshop and points to the increasing degradation of knowledge work.
