Bürgerportal Bergisch Gladbach. Star-crossed. Once universally revered, the Michelin Guide is now dismissed by some as a relic of a bygone age André Michelin who, with his brother Edouard, launched the guide as a promotional tool for their tyre company In the Paris banlieue of Boulogne-Billancourt, in an unprepossessing dark stone building, a French institution has a new address.
The Guide Michelin had for decades been headquartered in the ultra-smart 7th arrondissement. But a few months ago, it packed up and moved out of Avenue de Breteuil, one of the most elegant streets in Paris, with its lawns, lime trees and direct view of the golden dome of the Hôtel des Invalides. On the short walk from the Metro station to the new suburban office, I saw a small boy urinating in the street amid piles of rubbish, in the shadows of several grim-looking blocks of flats. One person who won’t be visiting this new address is Jean-Luc Naret, who quit as director of the Guide Michelin in December. The first Guide Michelin, free to chauffeurs. Bewohnerparken online.

Optimizing Chaos in Organizations Readings in the business and the research literature show a progression of thinking in organizational systems, from the structural (team development) to process-oriented (organizational learning).
Often similar areas of focus emerge from different writers at the same relative time - Drucker (1992) and Argyris (1992) both deal with organizational learning, as well as organizational design issues. Teams emerged as a hot topic from 1993 (Katzenbach and Smith) to 1996 (Donnellon). In my literature review, only Banathy (1996) deals strictly with social systems, and he also presents complexity theory as an effective model for understanding organizational systems. Complexity theory also emerges as the broadest context from which to approach social and organizational systems. Some of the dimensions identified in this model are consistent with complexity theory: entropy vs. chaos, and the degree of structure imposed on the organization. Background. Managing Business Complexity - Strategy & Administration - Article - ManagementSite.
Managing Business ComplexityPieter Klaas Jagersma As a result of continual pressure for growth, most companies have both expanded their product lines significantly and indulged in what appears to be ever promotional activity in an effort to stimulate customer interest and gain share. One of the consequences of all this activity has been an enormous increase in the complexity of their businesses which tends to increase the fixed costs of conducting their business. This complexity manifests itself in many forms affecting everything from the day-to-day operations of the business to senior management’s strategic plans.
Economies of scale, scope and skills appear to be wiped out by ‘economies of complexity’. Many companies have expressed serious concerns about their capability to successfully manage complexity and have striven to simplify their business, retrenching to a stable portfolio of core products and processes. The origins of business complexity Simplification Reconfiguration Conclusions. Organizational Behavior - Session7. Complexity. I'm in a room laden with media technology, including an umbilical cord of cables descending from the ceiling watching as grad students from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at Tisch, NYU set up to present their four future scenarios. This annual presentation, open to the public, is the culmination of Future of the Infrastructure course.
These interrelated futures of new media and the global economy ironically came the same day as the New York Times summarized five “natural security” scenarios based solidly in our physical world and as potential sources of conflict. Eerily, the students’ interactive media scenarios and the military's appear inextricably connected. Wikileaks for better or worse manifests an interactive media/military DNA. I’m a big fan of Art Kleiner, adjunct professor ITP and noted author and editor-in-chief of Booz & Company’s strategy+business magazine , who set the context for the evening. A few of the context trends were: Student scenarios: Scenarios.

Now the pen is even mightier - Gadgets. Interview: Ricardo Semler | Business | The Observer. The almost automatic response to Ricardo Semler's wonderfully subversive new book, The Seven Day Weekend (Century, £16.99), is: 'Well, that's all very well in Sao Paulo, but we couldn't do it here.' Semler is, or was - more of this later - president of Semco, Brazil's most famous company, which has made its name by standing the conventional corporate rulebook on its head.
Semco doesn't have a mission statement, its own rulebook or any written policies. It doesn't have an organisation chart, a human resources department or even, these days, a headquarters. Subordinates choose their managers, decide how much they are paid and when they work. Meetings are voluntary, and two seats at board meetings are open to the first employees who turn up. Salaries are made public, and so is all the company's financial information. Six months is the farthest ahead the group ever looks. Sounds like a recipe for chaos, eh? Semler argues, with figures to support him, that the model has nothing more to prove. Semco unique self organziation. Ross Smith on Trust and Innovation (Trust Quotes #1) Given Trust Matters’ attempt to be commonsensical and practical, it’s fitting that we lead off the series with Ross Smith, a line manager who uses trust daily.
I first met Ross in early 2009, when he was running a team of about 80 programmers working on Windows security for Microsoft—not the first place I would have guessed to be focused on trust. Let’s pick it up there. CHG: Ross, you didn’t set out to do work in trust, did you? RS: Hey Charlie – No, not at all. We ran into a great paper “Well-being and Trust in the Workplace” by Helliwell and Huang – that equated an increase in trust to a pay raise. CHG: Can you say more about the link between trust and innovation? RS: Well, the term “innovation” can be a bit tricky and subjective. However, in real life, I won’t be bragging to my manager about my ability to fail, romanticizing the Edison mantra, if I don’t absolutely trust that my manager sees the bigger picture – and also trusts me to be working towards that.
RS: Wow! Trusted Advisor !! Microsoft’s Ross Smith asks shall we play a game? - Next at Microsoft. [a rare shot of Ross and his Xbox Live Avatar sharing the stage] The first time I met Ross Smith, he was dressed in camouflage cargo shorts, a vintage rock and roll T-shirt from the ’80s and a pair of Timberland boots. Combine that with the box of Lucky Charms and various tchotchkes cluttering his office and you might question whether he’s there to work or to play. In Ross’ case, the answer would be ‘yes.’ Currently, Ross is director of test for the Microsoft Office Lync Client team. He leads a team of testers who put the Lync family of unified communications products through the paces to find defects. Sure enough. The efforts of Ross' team are still going strong since that initial game of hangman. In practice, 42Projects encourages employees to use less-than-busy times to expand their thinking into other areas or opportunities.
Since rolling out that initial game, Ross' team has worked on a variety of game-related projects. Not in Our Back Yard: Antony Jay : 9780954821944: Amazon.com.

Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. First published Thu Dec 20, 2007 No work of science has drawn more attention from philosophers than Newton's Principia. The reasons for this, however, and consequently the focus of the attention have changed significantly from one century to the next.
During the 20th Century philosophers have viewed the Principia in the context of Einstein's new theory of gravity in his theory of general relativity. The main issues have concerned the relation between Newton's and Einstein's theories of gravity and what the need to replace the former with the latter says about the nature, scope, and limits of scientific knowledge. 1. Viewed retrospectively, no work was more seminal in the development of modern physics and astronomy than Newton's Principia.
The retrospective view of the Principia has been different in the aftermath of Einstein's special and general theories of relativity from what it was throughout the nineteenth century. 2.

Kerala has been a favourite haunt of travellers from around the world for nearly 600 years; it's been known to exhilarate, enchant and enthral.
Here's a cherry-picked list of 10 activities to get you under the skin of this incredible state. Cruise the backwaters No trip to Kerala is complete without a languid boat ride on its idyllic backwaters. Lined by emerald coconut plantations and interspersed by turquoise lakes, these placid lagoons are the perfect place to shake off pent-up urban stress. Live it ‘up' in Munnar Green is the colour that swathes the lush mountain slopes of Munnar, Kerala's answer to the fabled hill stations of North India. Snap Kochi's fishing nets Tops among Kerala's iconic photo ops are the cantilevered Chinese fishing nets – dating back to the 1400s – that line the harbour at Kochi (Cochin). Get beached in Varkala You'll wish you were an Alex Garland character the moment you set foot in picturesque Varkala.

Special Protection Group. The Special Protection Group (SPG) is the executive protection agency of the Government of India. It is responsible for the protection of the Prime Minister of India, former Prime Ministers and their immediate family members.[2] The force was established in 1985 after the assassination of Indira Gandhi. It provides proximate security to protectees, including protection provided from close quarters, journey on foot, road, rail, aircraft, watercraft or any other means of transport, and includes places of functions, engagements, residence, etc. They comprise of ring round teams, isolation cordons, the sterile zone, and the rostrum and access control to the person or members of his immediate family. Recruits are drawn from the various Indian police forces, who undergo training similar to that conducted by the United States Secret Service.
Organisation[edit] The SPG is divided broadly into the following four categories: Operations: Looks after the actual protection duties. History[edit] SPG. Zumba Phone: the Steorn Orbo of cellphones? Ready for this? The BBC is reporting on a "top-secret phone" developed by a 40-person strong ejector-seat technology company -- IA Technology -- from Hereford England. The Beeb calls it, "the world's first fully accurate voice recognition system for mobile phones. " A bold claim (to say the least) from seemingly nowhere. The report starts with a dramatic lead-in, "It's a secret world, much of which we can't film," before introducing us to the Zumba phone.
A phone so secret that the BBC can't even show us how it works. They do manage to demonstrate how it's worn. Update: Ha!
