Research has shown that the bulk of technological innovation comes through Intrapreneurship: innovation that takes place inside an existing organization, taking advantage of the institutional support and economies of scale provided by continuing enterprises. Intrapreneurship Management is an approach that cultivates these internal innovations and the knowledge workers who produce them. Our book offers a comprehensive guide to this approach, its challenges, and its rewards. Beginning with a simple yet flexible definition of innovation—an idea implemented with impact—it analyzes the processes and organizational tools by which novel ideas can be fostered, supported, and applied, producing industry-leading firms that maximize their internal talent. It also provides access and tools for using IntrapreneurshipREADINESSNavigator (IRN), a unique software already deployed successfully in over 150 innovation projects. The readers will also find: *Case studies of technological innovations within a range of organizations * A look forward to future challenges facing innovative organizations in the 21st century * Detailed treatment of subjects including innovation marketing, systematic creativity, and developing innovative organizational culture. The book is ideal for intrapreneurs, their managers, and any professionals working in industries driven by technological innovation, as well as researchers and students of innovation management.
This book explores social equality and justice issues in the political and economic life of the United States, in the creation and consumption of technology, and in the construction of identity. The book specifically examines structural inequality in the judicial system and the capitalist market system in the U.S. It also investigates social equality and justice concerns in the development of modern and emerging technologies, especially the internet, social media, AI and intelligent systems, nanotechnology, geoengineering, neurotechnology, and genetic engineering. Inequality issues are also analyzed in relation to the concepts of gender, racial, and national identity.
This book provides an overview of the psychology of aging for graduate or advanced undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines who are pursuing clinical, research, or academic careers in aging. Aging is explored in a biopsychosocial perspective, with an emphasis on the diversity of aging experiences. Typical changes in physical health and the brain are discussed, as well as physical health conditions common among older adults. Psychological topics include relationships, mental health, personality, cognitive changes, and neurocognitive disorders. Work and retirement, death and dying, and legal and ethical issues are also explored, with a concluding chapter on the social context of aging.
This Element introduces readers to the problem of anticultism and antireligious movements in France. The first section offers an overview of anticultism in France, including the paradoxical place of modern French secularism (laïcité) that has shaped a culture prejudiced against minority religions and new religions (sectes or 'cults') and impacted Europe more broadly. This includes state-sponsored expressions, in particular MIVILUDES, an organization funded by the French government to monitor cultic or sectarian deviances. The second section takes up the case of the American-born Church of Scientology, tracing its history in the country since the late 1950s and how it has become a major focus of anticultists in France. The Element concludes with reflections on the future of new and minority religions in France. A timeline provides major dates in the history of anticultism in modern French history, with a focus on items of relevance to Scientology in France.
This textbook introduces quantum computing to readers who do not have much background in linear algebra based on the self-study experience of the author as an engineer. The author targets undergraduate and master students who are willing to spend about 60 -90 hours seriously learning quantum computing. This book is also suitable for self-study and teaching videos for each chapter and more than 200 exercises with answers are provided. Readers will be able to write their program to simulate quantum computing algorithms and run on real quantum computers on IBM-Q. Moreover, unlike books that only give superficial, “hand-waving” explanations, this book uses exact formalism so readers can continue to pursue more advanced topics based on what they learn from this book.
