Over the last decade, Lean-Agile principles have become the standard methodology by which product and technology teams operate. However, Lean-Agile was written for small companies seeking new markets to buy their innovative software products, not for an average corporation with a catalogue of existing software products that must be maintained and rebuilt. The typical tech-enabled business isn't a lean startup; it's¿a chunky corporate. This book offers an alternative software development methodology perfectly suited for chunky corporate product management. Yoüll quickly find out how individual players in the corporate organization impact business performance. Yoüll follow the story of Blake, a well-meaning but ultimately naive, CEO of a fictional company called Acme Tech. As he and Acme struggle to maintain business performance, it becomes apparent how embedded and complex his challenges are. Lean-Agile principles are regularly misapplied in the corporate environment, causing tension, missed deadlines, and inefficient working practices. Yoüll see that managing software transformation at a large, mature business requires a new set of tools. Popular development methodologies are not well-suited for the replatforming exercises that chunky corporates inevitably face. This book helps product and technology leaders navigate software development projects at organizations grappling with the constraints of investor ownership. ¿ Chunky corporates have a lot going for them: The Lean-Agile Dilemma reveals that, when managed well, they have the potential to be safe havens in a relentlessly unstable world. You will: Understand how replatforming differs from new product development Learn how to manage existing data when updating or building new software Gain tools to prioritize items in your overstuffed product roadmapWho This Book is ForProduct managers, product owners, product leadership, tech leadership, and business leaders at mature tech-enabled businesses.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly expanding field of decentralized finance (DF) and discusses how entrepreneurs can leverage it in their business activities.Decentralized finance (DF) is a system for exchanging value without centralized intermediaries. It relies heavily on peer-to-peer lending and borrowing, decentralized exchanges, trustless systems, and blockchain. Decentralized Finance is seen as a disruptive technology that could replace traditional financial systems in the future due to its advantages of being inclusive, non-discriminatory, resilient to risk management failures, cost-effective for lenders and borrowers to access the system and more efficient in terms of financial intermediation through automated trustless systems. This book explains the challenges and opportunities that these blockchain-based financial innovations present for both entrepreneurship and the broader financial system.
This book not only presents the state-of-the-art research on knowledge modelling, knowledge retrieval and knowledge reuse, but also elaborates the Collaborative Knowledge Management (CKM) paradigm and the architecture for the next generation of knowledge management systems. Although knowledge management has been extensively studied, particularly in the fields of business management and engineering design, there is a lack of systematic methodologies for addressing the integrated and collaborative dimension of knowledge management during the collaborative process of designing and developing complex systems, products, processes and services. The rapid development of information technologies, together with their applications in engineering and management, has laid the foundation for a Collaborative Knowledge Management (CKM) paradigm. The book specifically discusses this paradigm from a computational perspective.By exploring specific research findings underpinning further CKM research and applications and describing methods related to hot research topics and new research areas, the book appeals to professionals, researchers and graduate students who are interested in knowledge management and related topics and who have a basic understanding of information technologies, computational methods, and knowledge management.
Derzeit wird kaum noch ernsthaft bestritten, dass die Daten eines Unternehmens ein wichtiges Wirtschaftsgut darstellen und in erheblicher Weise zum Erfolg beitragen können. Allerdings gilt es, nicht nur den Wert der Daten zu erkennen, sondern diese auch in den zugehörigen Geschäftsprozessen gewinnbringend einzusetzen. Als zwingende Voraussetzung erweist sich dabei, eine organisatorische und technische Basis zu etablieren, die nachhaltig darauf ausgerichtet ist, die fachlichen Ausgabenstellungen bestmöglich zu unterstützen. Unter dem Oberbegriff Datenmanagement werden dazu diejenigen Führungs- und Durchführungstätigkeiten diskutiert, die einen tragfähigen Rahmen für den Umgang mit Daten in der Organisation aufspannen. Daneben erweisen sich vor allem die Verfahren zur Auswertung und Analyse der verfügbaren Datenbestände als leistungsfähige Instrumente, um langfristige Wettbewerbsvorteile zu erlangen. Vor diesem Hintergrund widmet sich das vorliegende Buch den stetig an Bedeutung gewinnenden Themenfeldern Datenmanagement und Datenanalyse, denen insbesondere im Rahmen der digitalen Transformation eine große Bedeutung zukommt.

Are you above average? Is your child an A student? Is your employee an introvert or an extrovert? Every day we are measured against the yardstick of averages, judged according to how closely we come to it or how far we deviate from it.The assumption that metrics comparing us to an average?like GPAs, personality test results, and performance review ratings?reveal something meaningful about our potential is so ingrained in our consciousness that we don't even question it. That assumption, says Harvard's Todd Rose, is spectacularly?and scientifically?wrong.In The End of Average, Rose, a rising star in the new field of the science of the individual shows that no one is average. Not you. Not your kids. Not your employees. This isn't hollow sloganeering?it's a mathematical fact with enormous practical consequences. But while we know people learn and develop in distinctive ways, these unique patterns of behaviors are lost in our schools and businesses which have been designed around the mythical ?average person.? This average-size-fits-all model ignores our differences and fails at recognizing talent. It's time to change it.Weaving science, history, and his personal experiences as a high school dropout, Rose offers a powerful alternative to understanding individuals through averages: the three principles of individuality. The jaggedness principle (talent is always jagged), the context principle (traits are a myth), and the pathways principle (we all walk the road less traveled) help us understand our true uniqueness?and that of others?and how to take full advantage of individuality to gain an edge in life.Read this powerful manifesto in the ranks of Drive, Quiet, and Mindset?and you won't see averages or talent in the same way again.

This book focuses on an integrated approach in developing a model to guide the design of effective managerial costing systems. While the focus is on the manufacturing industry, information in the book will be useful to other industries as well. To achieve this, the book utilizes the action design research methodology founded within a design science paradigm, which aims to develop pragmatic solutions to an actually experienced business problem or class of business problems. After which, the book then explains the elaborated action design research process, which is a researcher-practitioner approach to designing pragmatic, industry-experienced problems in an academically sound manner.In doing so, the book illustrates how a design process embedded in the engineering field, i.e., design science research, can successfully engineer effective managerial costing systems. The book thus includes both academic researchers and industry practitioners, applying the contextual iterative solution development activities, i.e., (i) problem formulation and refinement, (ii) the solution design, and (iii) verification and validation of the proposed solution. The final (proposed) solution presented in the book is presented in a process model format, including systematic process flow illustrations and developmental guides, which are all supportive in enabling the design of effective managerial costing systems.
We are currently witnessing the emergence of a ¿third culture¿, driven by unprecedented developments that are changing the playing field. These include advances in AI, big data analysis and robotics. The traditional ¿two cultures¿ view (S. P. Snow) distinguishes between the sciences and the humanities. The wisdoms these two cultures offer are separated from each other, with little to no interaction or mutual comprehension. However, over the past two decades, and for the first time in human history, a new, third culture has appeared. This new culture, rooted in new technologies, not only pursues its own form of rationality but also supports advances in the original two cultures, deepening and expanding our individual and collective consciousness so that we can see more and do better. It will eventually give rise to new forms of consciousness based not on biochemical signals, but on copper wires and lithium chips. These new machine intelligences will change the world and force us to realise: we are no longer alone. The human species¿ position in the twenty-first century will be fundamentally redefined: not as a conductor leading the orchestra, but a single string player within it.
Jasmin Michl realisiert eine tiefgehende Untersuchung zum Einsatz von Personalinformationssystemen in der Personalentwicklung und im Talent-Management mit besonderem Fokus auf strategische Einsatzgebiete und die Rolle von Stakeholder*innen. Im Rahmen ihrer Analyse verbindet die Autorin Perspektiven unterschiedlicher Interessengruppen, um die zentralen Herausforderungen digitaler Einführungsvorhaben im Personalbereich für Unternehmen und ihre Mitarbeitenden herauszuarbeiten. Hierbei wird auf Grundlage eines Mixed-Methods-Ansatzes deutlich, dass die erfolgreiche Bewältigung von technologischen Einführungsprojekten in HR keine rein technische Frage darstellt, sondern vielmehr eine der organisationalen Rahmenbedingungen und der sozialen Transformation. Die Erkenntnisse der Untersuchung bieten einen Einblick in transformationale Bewältigungs- und Positionierungsprobleme von und in Organisationen und bieten eine Grundlage zur Erarbeitung von möglichen Handlungs- und Zielfeldern für die Praxis.
This book systematically and integrally introduces the new security management theories and methods in the e-commerce environment. Based on the perspective of dynamic governance of the whole process, starting from the theoretical framework, this book analyzes the gap between the current situation and requirements of security management, defines its nature, function, object and system, and designs and constructs the whole process security management organization and operation system of e-commerce. It focuses on the core and most prominent risk control links (i.e. security impact factors) in e-commerce security, including e-commerce information and network security risk, e-commerce transaction risk, e-commerce credit risk, e-commerce personnel risk, etc. Then, the tools and methods for identifying and controlling various risks are described in detail, at the same time, management decision-making and coordination are integrated into the risk management. Finally, a closed loop of self-optimization is established by a continuous optimization evolution path of e-commerce security management.
