Corporatism has transcended the capitalist purpose of best allocation of resources and methods of production through coincidence of competition. The invisible hand is not the one that added 800 billion dollars (more or less) to the national debt to bail out banks with 'toxic debt' covering it with a 'tarp' administered by Mr. Today corporatism has taken over power from the people in the United States and given it to globalist concentrating their wealth and international advantages while Americans are being twitted in to worshiping as a fetish the 'invisible hand' of Adam Smith's ideas about capitalism.

Short description of framework: A framework illustrating how value is created and captured in the interaction between organizations through relationships and transactions. Main strengths: The framework captures relationships, monetary and non-monetary transactions between organizations, and provides a snapshot of the interactions and dependencies on certain external actors. Transactions between several organizations in multiple steps can be illustrated, enabling a good understanding for the different revenue streams.
BackgroundThe framework was originally created by De Mey and De Ridder (www.boardofinnovation.com) in 2009 to create a common visual language and consisted of 10 framework elements initially focusing on the sales side of a business with the only actors being the company itself and its client. In 2010 the business model framework was revisited and updated to include 16 framework elements to capture more aspects of a business case. Compan Video illustrating the framework:
Faire comprendre l’innovation : le cas Square. J’explique souvent quand on me demande ce que je fais pour vivre, que mon travail consiste essentiellement à dire à des chefs d’entreprise travaillant des univers technologiques : « Je ne comprends pas« . C’est un raccourci, mais cela donne une bonne idée de la réalité. Je recommande souvent à mes clients d’aller voir leurs collègues lors d’une journée de présentation dans n’importe quelle pépinière d’entreprise innovante, et d’essayer de comprendre ce qu’ils font.
La plupart du temps leur activité est peu compréhensible. Et systématiquement il est impossible de comprendre à qui cela va servir et comment cela va être commercialisé. Regardons Square : cette startup est la nouvelle aventure de Jack Dorsey dont je parlais dans le précédent article. Et c’est pour moi un modèle du genre en terme de positionnement et de communication de l’innovation.

Workshop series with Gary Genosko, Peter Pál Pelbart and The Ueinzz Theatre Company In cooperation with Baltic Circle Theatre Festival, Helsinki School of Economics, Theatre Academy, HIAP and Art School Maa The workshop series is part of the “Mental Ecology in Cognitive Capitalism – A Félix Guattari Master Class” which has been working to map the mechanisms of production of value and new forms of control which have spread into our mental and social environments: the ecological disequilibrium of our mental environments (precarious states of mind, panic and depression as a forms of life, the erosion of subjectivity and its foundations etc.) is like an organ of the mutation of capitalism where the structures and risks of production have spread into structures of subjectivity, meaning, desire and relationships.
The third workshop series of the Guattari Master Class focuses on experiments in positive organization of “cooperation between brains”. More information… Download the program History.

Physical Density: When Innovation Happens in Coworking Spaces | The Coworking Blog. By Angel Kwiatkowski co-loco—an Australian organization that connects independent workers with shared desk space—shared a snippet of Steven Johnson’s book, Where Good Ideas Come From in a recent blog post. In his book, Johnson traces the ways innovation happens—and why some environments are particularly good for generating new, creative ideas.
Not only does Johnson look at environments in which people are innovative—he also looks to nature for clues (such as the coral reef and rain forests). And he argues that one of the patterns in innovation is physical density. So, then, what does physical density have to do with innovation? In fact, it looks a lot like a coworking space. And here’s why: co-loco’s blog post pulled out three points about physical density from Johnson’s book: Physical density creates informal networks of influence.Physical density allows companies to easily grow and contract and share employees.Physical density fosters diversity.

Symbionomics is a media project about the new economy. As we face unprecedented global challenges, people all over the world are fundamentally reimagining economics. We’d like to capture visions, ideas, and experiences that tell a new story. Part of the new economy is about working in an open and collaborative way, so we’re taking that to heart in our approach. We are creating an online space that is like a virtual campfire where people around the world can share their stories and ideas. To seed this space, we will gather ten high quality interviews with leading experts in the field. We will release these videos under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license so that anyone can remix them. We’ll be using this money for filming interviews, editing the footage into a DVD compilation, and upgrading the Symbionomics video forum. Deliverables: - DVD compilation of at least ten interviews, CC licensed - symbionomics.com beta upgraded to full launch Thanks for your support!
Goodbye to the office. Factories used to be arranged in a straight line. That's because there was one steam engine, and it turned a shaft. All the machines were set up along the shaft, with a belt giving each of them power. The office needed to be right next to this building, so management could monitor what was going on. 150 years later, why go to work in an office/plant/factory?

Small Business Resources - Top 5 Ways for Small Businesses to Succeed in a Down Economy.
According to recent estimates, there are approximately 20 million small businesses operating right now in the United States. However, given the current state of the economy and predictions that the slumping market might take more time than expected to right itself, many small business owners have been forced to make cutbacks, whether they be layoffs, hiring freezes or the elimination of services, in order to survive. Despite the challenging times that these small companies are up against today, there are still many opportunities and silver linings for small business owners to capitalize on with the right business model and implementation strategy in place.
As the founder and CEO of Priority Pay Payroll, one of the country’s premier payroll processors, Jerry Carter is intimately familiar with the challenges that beset small business owners during these difficult economic times.

Young people have the brightest and most creative ideas.
No doubt about that. As such we are very pleased to have the opportunity to give several lectures and workshops to creative youngsters this year. Two weeks ago we were invited at the Technical University of Eindhoven (NL), and yesterday we gave our second workshop at the Antwerp Management School (BE). We asked the students at AMS to think of new and innovative business ideas to make money with chocolate.
Men-only Chocolate with Vending Experience: Chocolate bars branded for men with specific tastes (f.e. beer taste), sold through vending machines that throw out the bars so men have to catch it. Of course some of these ideas already exist or may not be fully realistic, but we saw some inspiring presentations yesterday.

Calculating the Enterprise Value of public companies is a pretty simple math exercise. As I described in an earlier post, Cost of Financial Illiteracy: How to Calculate Enterprise Value, all you need is access to some information about the company’s stock and a recent set of their financial statements.
Once you have those it’s as simple as Market Cap – Cash & Marketable Securities + Debt = Enterprise Value. Of course there are a few other nuances but for 95% of the companies you could look at this formula will work just fine. The challenge a lot of people have, however, is how to calculate the enterprise value of private / non-public companies. Unless you have access to the target company’s financial statements, the simple, honest answer is that in most cases you cannot determine a private company’s enterprise value with any degree of certainty. We will use an example to make this process real. 1. 2. 3. 4. Summary. Twitter : un Business Model basé sur la publicité ? Contre toute attente (en tout cas pour ma part) il semblerait que Twitter ait décidé d’opter pour un Business Model basé sur la publicité et d’une façon plutôt “banale” : les liens sponsorisés ! La fuite provient d’un jeune étudiant américain du MIT actuellement en stage chez Twitter qui aurait partagé par erreur une capture d’écran sensée rester confidentielle via un album Flickr public !
Mis à part le fait qu’on puisse se faire du soucis pour l’avenir de la carrière du jeune homme, la dite capture est riche d’enseignements mais soulève également de nombreuses questions, je vais essayer de les aborder points par points : Une icône pour différencier les liens sponsorisés des autres Tweets dans la Timeline?

By Robert G. Eccles | 8:44 AM August 2, 2010 Two groups dedicated to sustainability — the London-based Prince’s Accounting for Sustainability Project (A4S) and the Amsterdam-based Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) — today announced (pdf) the formation of an organization to develop and promote global standards for companies to report both their financial performance and their performance in the areas of environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and governance in an integrated fashion.
This is important because integrated reporting is the best way to ensure that companies have sustainable strategies; define them in financial, economic, social, and governance terms; and then communicate the results. The new organization, the International Integrated Reporting Committee (IIRC), aims to help make integrated reporting the dominant practice on a global basis as soon as possible.
