Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers, and Changemakers (9780596804176): Dave Gray, Sunni Brown, James Macanufo The Knowledge-Creating Company: How Japanese Companies Create the Dynamics ... - Ikujirō Nonaka, Hirotaka Takeuchi How have Japanese companies become world leaders in the automotive and electronics industries, among others? What is the secret of their success? Two leading Japanese business experts, Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi, are the first to tie the success of Japanese companies to their ability to create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies. In The Knowledge-Creating Company, Nonaka and Takeuchi provide an inside look at how Japanese companies go about creating this new knowledge organizationally. The authors point out that there are two types of knowledge: explicit knowledge, contained in manuals and procedures, and tacit knowledge, learned only by experience, and communicated only indirectly, through metaphor and analogy. U.S. managers focus on explicit knowledge. Because the competitive environment and customer preferences changes constantly, knowledge perishes quickly.

The Semantic Web & THE POWER OF PULL » Blog March 25, 2012 The phone is the new platform – everything is converging onto the “smart phone.” Soon, we’ll use our phones to manage our homes, purchase things, board an airplane, sign a document, get into our office buildings, and much much more. And yet today’s phones basically mimic our desktop computers. Do you really want to open a Word or Excel document on your phone? Come to think of it, why should everything be stored on your phone? The answer to today’s scalability problems is the personal data locker. Thank you.

Anarchism: Arguments for and against -- by Albert Meltzer - StumbleUpon by Albert Meltzer Table of Contents Introduction Inalienable Tenets of Anarchism The Class Struggle Organisation and Anarchism The Role of an Anarchist in an Authoritarian Society Bringing About the New Society The Marxist Criticism of Anarchism The Social-Democratic Critique of Anarchism The Liberal-Democratic Objection to Anarchism The Fascist Objection to Anarchism The Average Person's Objection to Anarchism Introduction The Historical Background to Anarchism It is not without interest that what might be called the anarchist approach goes back into antiquity; nor that there is an anarchism of sorts in the peasant movements that struggled against State oppression over the centuries. In particular, we may cite three philosophical precursors of Anarchism, Godwin, Proudhon, and perhaps Hegel. Godwin is the father of the Stateless Society movement, which diverged into three lines. The third school of descent from Godwin is simple liberalism, or conservative individualism. The Class Struggle
11 Must-Read Books For Young Leaders, by John Coleman Recently, I wrote that leaders should be readers. Reading has a host of benefits for those who wish to occupy positions of leadership and develop into more relaxed, empathetic, and well-rounded people. One of the most common follow-up questions was, "Ok, so what should I read?" That's a tough question. There are a number of wonderful reading lists out there. But if I had to focus on a short list for young business leaders, I'd choose the 11 below. Invariably, many people will think some of the choices are poor or that the list is incomplete, but I hope it can serve as a start for young business leaders looking for literature to help them chart their careers. Marcus Aurelius, The Emperor's Handbook. Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning. Tom Wolfe, A Man in Full. Michael Lewis, Liar's Poker. Jim Collins, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't. Robert Cialdini, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion. Clayton M. Stephen R. So what are your picks?
