This book helps you understand the dynamism of work, workforce, and workplace that exist in organizations (as well as the challenges these organizations face) and their impact on business practices. The authors cover these broad areas because of the need to diversify and promote organic inclusive growth.

This book provides the key technologies involved in an organization's digital transformation. It offers a deep understanding of the key technologies (Blockchain, AI, Big Data, IoT, etc.) involved and details the impact, the decision-making process, and the interplay between technologies, business models, and operations.Managing the Digital Transformation: Aligning Technologies, Business Models, and Operations provides frameworks and models to support digital transformation projects. The book presents the importance of digital transformation as a resilience approach to the operations processes and business models. It covers the essential elements integrating the technology, the organizations, the operations, and supply chain management used to move toward digital transformation. Concepts and mini-case studies are included to provide a deeper understanding of digital transformation projects with a holistic view. The book also examines the role that digital transformation plays with consideration of inter-organizational and intra-organizational capabilities, along with the role of digital culture, the worker's skills, business models, reconfiguration, as well as an operations optimization angle.Practitioners, consultants, governments, managers, scholars, and anyone interested in digital transformation will find the contents of this book very useful.

This book focuses on the futuristic approaches and designs for real-time systems and applications, as well as the fundamental concepts of including advanced techniques and tools with the models of the data-driven blockchain ecosystem.

Why do some physical products succeed and others fail?When you have an idea for a new product, it's a pivotal moment. This device of yours will enhance the lives of the people who use it, earn you extra money, and have a significant impact on the world.However, there's much more to a successful product than the quality of the original idea. Why do some products fly off the shelves and others not even reach the market? That's what this book will explain.You'll learn how to decide if your physical product solves the right problem, who to sell it to, and how to protect and fund it. You'll also explore different business models and manufacturing options and discover the ins and outs of the product design process. By the end, you'll understand what it takes to be a professional product innovator.Gethin Roberts is an experienced product design engineer and Managing Director of ITERATE, a dynamic product design consultancy that blends creative and technical expertise to develop products from idea all the way through to production.

The idea behind this book is to simplify the journey of aspiring readers and researchers to understand the convergence of Big Data with the Cloud. This book presents the latest information on the adaptation and implementation of Big Data technologies in various cloud domains and Industry 4.0.Synergistic Interaction of Big Data with Cloud Computing for Industry 4.0 discusses how to develop adaptive, robust, scalable, and reliable applications that can be used in solutions for day-to-day problems. It focuses on the two frontiers - Big Data and Cloud Computing - and reviews the advantages and consequences of utilizing Cloud Computing to tackle Big Data issues within the manufacturing and production sector as part of Industry 4.0. The book unites some of the top Big Data experts throughout the world who contribute their knowledge and expertise on the different aspects, approaches, and concepts related to new technologies and novel findings. Based on the latest technologies, the book offers case studies and covers the major challenges, issues, and advances in Big Data and Cloud Computing for Industry 4.0.By exploring the basic and high-level concepts, this book serves as a guide for those in the industry, while also helping beginners and more advanced learners understand both basic and more complex aspects of the synergy between Big Data and Cloud Computing.

A design monograph on Charles and Ray Eames, the golden couple of postwar American design. Contains a historical-critical essay discussing the life and work of the couple, followed by an illustrated appreciation of their work.

At present, both Industry 4.0 and industrial engineering management developments are reshaping the industrial sector worldwide. Industry 4.0 and sustainability are considered as the crucial emerging trends in industrial production systems. The resulting transformations are changing production modes from traditional to digital, intelligent, and decentralized. It is expected that Industry 4.0 will help drive sustainability in industries thanks to the implementation of advanced technology and a move towards social sustainability. This book reflects on the consequences of the transition to Industry 4.0 for climate change. The book presents a systemic overview of the current negative impacts of digitization on the environment and showcases a new outline of the energy domain and expected changes in environmental pollution levels under Industry 4.0. It also analyzes the ecological consequences of the growth and development of Industry 4.0 and considers Industry 4.0 as an alternative to fighting climate change, in the sense of shifting the global community's attention from environmental protection to consolidation of the digital economy. This book will be of interest to academicians and practitioners in the fields of climate change and development of Industry 4.0, and it will contribute to national economic policies for fighting climate change and corporate strategies of sustainable development under Industry 4.0.

Life-centred design aligns responsible businesses and designers with global goals to design physical and digital products and services that re-nourish the planet and foster fair and diverse ways of being.Life-centred design is still emerging, however, so awareness of it is low, those who practise it are few, how it is practised varies, and hybridisation of physical and digital product design strategies is nascent.The Life-Centred Design Guide introduces a collection of today's life-centred design approaches and speculates a 'Future Snapshot' of what the framework might become if the variations merged.The Guide also includes introductions to 11 key design practices that combine in life-centred design:Circular designInclusive designPluriversal designSystems thinkingDistributed designSustainable digital designBehavioural designInterspecies designBiomimicryForesightHuman-centred designAccompanied by the online toolkit at lifecentred.design, readers can expand their experience by accessing learning exercises, tools, strategies, and resources.Life-centred design gives designers the skills and mindsets to respond to today's wicked problems in tangible, practical, and measurable ways.

HÅNDVÆRK bookazine no. 7 invites you on a visit to an architect, a design firm, a blacksmith, a brazier, a bricklayer, a carpenter and a thatcher, among others, and shows you how bathroom tiles can be made with a high content of crushed discarded bricks. You can learn about painting with egg-oil tempera and get updated on textiles, glass, ceramic, food and drink.From editors’ letter by Rigetta Klint:‘Perhaps you might like to scale up in a future issue of HÅNDVÆRK?’ asked an architect who attended a talk I gave a few months ago about my work on the HÅNDVÆRK bookazine.She added, ‘As I’m sure you know, climate accounts are going to be mandatory in construction from 2023. Initially, there will be a cap on CO2 emissions per square metre per year for new builds over 1,000 m2, and from 2025, the requirement is going to apply to all new construction.’Indeed, I had heard about it, and yes, I was interested in scaling up and taking a look at architecture and construction; in fact, I had already begun.At this point in the process, it was quite clear to me that there are many interests at play in construction, refurbishment and renovation and that dealing with architecture and construction is about much more than just scaling up. Above all, construction is big business – and a huge factor in relation to the above-mentioned and increasingly ubiquitous climate accounts. Where there is a will there is a way, and not just when it comes to reducing our carbon footprint.In my interviews we take a broad look at materials, aesthetics, working processes, working life experiences, lived life experience and education.
