Aaron Dignan ayuda a los equipos de trabajo de todo el mundo a reinventar por completo sus sistemas operativos, los principios y prácticas fundamentales que dan forma a su cultura laboral, con un éxito extraordinario. Les ayuda a ver que las organizaciones no son máquinas predecibles y controlables. Son sistemas humanos complejos llenos de potencial esperando ser liberado. Revolucionando el trabajo nos explica exactamente cómo reinventar nuestra forma de trabajar, dejando atrás los clásicos sistemas jerárquicos verticales, y potenciando la autonomía, la confianza y la transparencia. Dignan propone una alternativa totalmente revolucionaria a la actual cultura de trabajo, que capacita a las personas para actuar con independencia y que ya está siendo utilizada por las startups más exitosas del mundo. Reseñas: Es el libro del año sobre gestión. Claro, poderoso y urgente, es una lectura obligada para todos aquellos que se preocupen por su manera de trabajar". SETH GODIN, autor de This Is Marketing "Ahora soy un fiel seguidor. Dignan resume todas las ideas sobre cómo crear equipos y compañías para maximizar su potencial descentralizando el poder, una idea que en un tiempo fue una utopía pero que ahora es posible y esencial. Para ser un libro que podría suponer el inicio de una revolución, es sorprendentemente práctico y nada dogmáti- co. No hay ideas superfluas, es todo importan- te y real. Se me ocurre mucha gente que quiero que lea y estudie este libro". KEVIN KELLY, autor de The Inevitable, cofundador de la revista Wired "Este libro es un soplo de aire fresco. Aaron Dignan presenta una visión valiente y ennoblecedora de un nuevo concepto del trabajo que refuerza nuestra dignidad y libertad en lugar de degradarlas y limitarlas. Léelo ahora y asegúrate de que tu jefe también lo haga". ADAM GRANT, autor de Give and Take y Originals, y coautor de Option B con Sheryl Sandberg "El concepto de un modelo único para todos es cosa del pasado. Este libro nos muestra cómo aprovechar la complejidad del capital humano de nuestras organizaciones y descubrir una nueva forma de trabajar en la que caben diferentes estilos, perspectivas, necesidades y valores". SUSAN CAIN, autora de Quiet y Quiet Power, directora de Quiet Revolution "Los seres humanos no pueden prosperar en una cultura de trabajo que utiliza el agotamiento y el "estar siempre ocupados" como indicadores del compromiso y el éxito. En Revolucionando el trabajo, Aaron Dignan nos muestra que, de hecho, los lugares de trabajo que capacitan a las personas para actuar con independencia tienen muchas más probabilidades de obtener un rendimiento y una felicidad sostenibles". ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, fundadora y CEO de Thrive Global "Realmente nunca creí en ninguno de estos temas sobre organizaciones hasta que conocí a Aaron Dignan. Puede ayudar a cualquier empresa que tenga problemas a la hora de encontrar un propósito común, a identificar los patrones sencillos que se esconden en las situaciones más complejas y a guiar a las organizaciones más valientes hacia sus valores fundamentales. Lo más impresionante es que ha conseguido traducir todo eso a un lenguaje que incluso un empresario puede entender y disfrutar". DOUGLAS RUSHKOFF, autor de Team Human y Present Shock

As machines are trained to “think,” many tasks that previously required human intelligence are becoming automated through artificial intelligence. However, it is more difficult to automate emotional intelligence, and this is where the human worker’s competitive advantage over machines currently lies. This book explores the impact of AI on everyday life, looking into workers’ adaptation to these changes, the ways in which managers can change the nature of jobs in light of AI developments, and the potential for humans and AI to continue working together. The book argues that AI is rapidly assuming a larger share of thinking tasks, leaving human intelligence to focus on feeling. The result is the “Feeling Economy,” in which both employees and consumers emphasize feeling to an unprecedented extent, with thinking tasks largely delegated to AI. The book shows both theoretical and empirical evidence that this shift is well underway. Further, it explores the effect of the Feeling Economy on our everyday lives in the areas such as shopping, politics, and education. Specifically, it argues that in this new economy, through empathy and people skills, women may gain an unprecedented degree of power and influence. This book will appeal to readers across disciplines interested in understanding the impact of AI on business and our daily lives. It represents a bold, potentially controversial attempt to gauge the direction in which society is heading.

¿Existe alguna esperanza de solución? ¿No han prometido la respuesta innumerables gurús de los negocios, pero no han cambiado casi nada en la forma en que trabajamos? Esto se debe a que no reconocemos que las organizaciones no son máquinas para predecir y controlar. Son sistemas humanos complejos llenos de potencial esperando ser liberados. Dignan dice que no se puede arreglar un equipo, un departamento o una organización haciendo ajustes en los bordes. A lo largo de los años, ha ayudado a sus clientes a reinventar completamente sus sistemas operativos -los principios y prácticas fundamentales que dan forma a su cultura- con un éxito extraordinario. ///// Is there any hope for a solution? Haven't countless business gurus promised the answer, yet changed almost nothing about the way we work? That's because we fail to recognize that organizations aren't machines to be predicted and controlled. They're complex human systems full of potential waiting to be released. Dignan says you can't fix a team, department, or organization by tinkering around the edges. Over the years, he has helped his clients completely reinvent their operating systems--the fundamental principles and practices that shape their culture--with extraordinary success.

Cyberpragmatics is an analysis of Internet-mediated communication from the perspective of cognitive pragmatics. It addresses a whole range of interactions that can be found on the Net: the web page, chat rooms, instant messaging, social networking sites, 3D virtual worlds, blogs, videoconference, e-mail, Twitter, etc. Of special interest is the role of intentions and the quality of interpretations when these Internet-mediated interactions take place, which is often affected by the textual properties of the medium. The book also analyses the pragmatic implications of transferring offline discourses (e.g. printed paper, advertisements) to the screen-framed space of the Net. And although the main framework is cognitive pragmatics, the book also draws from other theories and models in order to build up a better picture of what really happens when people communicate on the Net. This book will interest analysts doing research on computer-mediated communication, university students and researchers undergoing post-graduate courses or writing a PhD thesis. Now Open Access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched 2017 Backlist Collection.

Erling S. Andersen's new book examines project management from an organisational perspective. A project is a temporary organisation, established by its base organisation to carry out an assignment on its behalf. From this perspective, project management focusses on the relationship between the permanent and the temporary organisation. Inherent in this perspective is an understanding of the project's most important purpose, to facilitate another organisation's progress.
