From the acclaimed authors of Capitalism without Capital, r adical ideas for restoring prosperity in today's intangible economy The past two decades have witnessed sluggish economic growth, mounting ...inequality, dysfunctional competition, and a host of other ills that have left people wondering what has happened to the future they were promised. Restarting the Future reveals how these problems arise from a failure to develop the institutions demanded by an economy now reliant on intangible capital such as ideas, relationships, brands, and knowledge.In this groundbreaking and provocative book, Jonathan Haskel and Stian Westlake argue that the great economic disappointment of the century is the result of an incomplete transition from an economy based on physical capital, and show how the vital institutions that underpin our economy remain geared to an outmoded way of doing business. The growth of intangible investment has slowed significantly in recent years, making the world poorer, less fair, and more vulnerable to existential threats. Haskel and Westlake present exciting new ideas to help us catch up with the intangible revolution, offering a road map for how to finance businesses, improve our cities, fund more science and research, reform monetary policy, and reshape intellectual property rules for the better.Drawing on Haskel and Westlake's experience at the forefront of finance and economic policymaking, Restarting the Future sets out a host of radical but practical solutions that can lead us into the future.
More than ever, data drives decisions in organizations--and we have more data, and more ways to analyze it, than ever. Yet strategic initiatives continue to fail as often as they did when computers ...ran on punch cards. Economist and research scientist Alec Levenson says we need a new approach. The problem, Levenson says, is that the business people who devise the strategies and the human resources people who get employees to implement them use completely different analytics. Business analytics can determine if operational priorities aren't being achieved but can't explain why. HR analytics reveal potentially helpful policy and process improvements but can't identify which would have the greatest strategic impact. This book shows how to use an integrated approach to bring these two pieces together. Levenson presents a thorough and realistic treatment of the reasons for and challenges of taking an integrated approach. He provides details on the different parts of both enterprise and human capital analytics that have to be conducted for integration to be successful and includes specific questions to ask, along with examples of applying integrated analytics to address particular organizational challenges.Effective analytics is a team sport. Levenson's approach allows you to get the deepest insights by bringing people together from both the business and HR perspectives to assess what's going on and determine the right solution.
Analizirajući Schumpeterove teorije o poduzetništvu i inovacijama, autor dolazi do saznanja da se njegovi teorijski stavovi mogu primijeniti i u našim prilikama samoupravnog modela socijalističkog ...društvenog sistema. To se prvenstveno odnosi na poduzetnika koji je »spiritus movens« inovacijama a time i napretka poduzeća, a u našim uvjetima na poslovoditelja čija je funkcija u poduzeću jednaka današnjem u nas proskibiranom menadžeru.
U Schumpeter ovim spomenutim teorijama autor vidi teoretske izvore i marketinga koje su osuvremenili i produbili dva Austrijanca, danas Američana, I. Drucker i Ph. Kotler. Prvi, kao danas prvi teoretičar općeg managementa, a drugi marketing i marketing managementa.
U svom radu na kraju autor pokazuje i neke trendove razvoja današnjeg managementa.
