Disruptive Technologies and the Language Classroom: A Complex Systems Theory Approach
by Regine HampelAlthough new technologies are embedded in students’ lives today, there is often an assumption that their use is transparent, inconsequential, or a distraction. This book combines complex systems theory with sociocultural theory and the multimodal theory of communication, providing an innovative theoretical framework to examine how communication and meaning-making in the language classroom have developed over time, how technology impacts on meaning-making, and what the implications are for learners, teachers, institutions and policy makers. Recent studies provide evidence for the disruptive effect of technology which has resulted in a phase shift that is reshaping language education by creating new interaction patterns, allowing for multimodal communication, and introducing real-world communication into the classroom. The book proposes ways of responding to this shift before concluding that the new technologies are radically transforming the way we learn. It is likely to appeal to a range of readers, including students, academics, teachers and policy-makers.
Disruptive Procurement: Winning in a Digital World
by Michael F. Strohmer Stephen Easton Martin Eisenhut Elouise Epstein Robert Kromoser Erik R. Peterson Enrico RizzonDisruptive Procurement is a radical new approach to creating value and innovation by challenging the status quo in the entire product and service line. It requires going far beyond conventional desktop procurement to understand the value the company brings to its customers as well as the value that suppliers bring to the company. By combining knowledge of these two dimensions, companies become far more flexible and they move closer to disrupting the environment in ways that create value. To move toward Disruptive Procurement, companies need a holistic view and a complete new set of capabilities for staff in marketing, sales, R&D, manufacturing, innovation, and, of course, procurement. This will only happen if procurement is fully backed by the Chief Executive Officer and companies embrace digital tools that will help make procurement slimmer and smarter.

Disruptive Platforms: Markets, Ecosystems, and Monopolists (Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology)
by Tymoteusz Doligalski, Michał Goliński, and Krzysztof KozłowskiIt has taken platforms only twenty years to become digital economy hubs. They have changed markets, enterprises, and society. They have expedited communication, collaboration, and trade for consumers, winning their attention and collecting their data. In doing so, they have made processes, products, and industries obsolete, and disrupted the expectations and behaviours of market players. This raises the question, are digital platforms global innovators or disruptive monopolists? Are they a solution to problems of the past or emissaries of a problematic future? This book provides a multi-faceted approach to platforms and their profound impact on markets and ecosystems. Economic, managerial, social, and political aspects are analysed, and the differentiation of platforms and their disruptive potential is reviewed. The book also examines the mechanism of achieving a monopolistic position, including in the international supply chain, and the greater influence of platforms on political activity and contemporary democracy. With examples from Poland, USA, and China, the contributions offer an international evaluation of disruptive platforms across a multitude of industries. The edited collection, prepared by scholars from the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, will be valuable to researchers and academics across the fields of strategic management, marketing, innovations, international business, and the digital economy.

Disruptive Fixation: School Reform and the Pitfalls of Techno-Idealism
by Christo SimsIn New York City in 2009, a new kind of public school opened its doors to its inaugural class of middle schoolers. Conceived by a team of game designers and progressive educational reformers and backed by prominent philanthropic foundations, it promised to reinvent the classroom for the digital age. Ethnographer Christo Sims documented the life of the school from its planning stages to the graduation of its first eighth-grade class. Disruptive Fixation is his account of how this "school for digital kids," heralded as a model of tech-driven educational reform, reverted to a more conventional type of schooling with rote learning, an emphasis on discipline, and traditional hierarchies of authority. Troubling gender and racialized class divisions also emerged.Sims shows how the philanthropic possibilities of new media technologies are repeatedly idealized even though actual interventions routinely fall short of the desired outcomes—often dramatically so. He traces the complex processes by which idealistic tech-reform perennially takes root, unsettles the worlds into which it intervenes, and eventually stabilizes in ways that remake and extend many of the social predicaments reformers hope to fix. Sims offers a nuanced look at the roles that powerful elites, experts, the media, and the intended beneficiaries of reform—in this case, the students and their parents—play in perpetuating the cycle.Disruptive Fixation offers a timely examination of techno-philanthropism and the yearnings and dilemmas it seeks to address, revealing what failed interventions do manage to accomplish—and for whom.

Disruptive Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Human Resource Management: Impacts and Innovations -The Future of HR (River Publishers Series in Computing and Information Science and Technology)
by Anamika Pandey Balamurugan Balusamy Naveen ChilamkurtiIt is well-established that every organization is founded with a specific purpose and goals. Virtually all business organizations obtain measurements and metrics dealing with outcomes and results. However, what is reflected on the balance sheet does not necessarily show the actual worth of the organizations and ensure their survival and sustainability. Thus, the question arises, what exactly makes the organizations sustainable and thriving in an ever-changing environment? There are several examples of companies like Faber-Castell, Bank of Ireland, Chivas, DuPont and many more which have been able to sustain and survive over more than 200 years and still have a successful existence in the present era. Thus, it is important for the organization to pay equal attention to its three bottom lines, i.e., people, profit and planet for its sustainability, which not only meet the needs of the present generation but should have a futuristic approach as well. In the present era, organizations are adopting a new normal working dynamic and coping with the post-pandemic situations to sustain themselves in the business environment. Technology plays a significant role in this new working dynamic, and cutting-edge technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence, blockchain,ChatGPT, Internet of Things, and much more effectively facilitate human functioning at work. The book aims to contribute to understanding and developing sustainable human resource management processes and practices aligned with recent technologies. It highlights the interconnection among the three bottom-line sustainable approaches for the growth and development of the organization. Topics discussed in this book include: • Disruptive Technologies and HR Sustainability • Convergence of Innovative Technologies, HR and Organizational Growth • Triple bottom-line Sustainability for HRM • Business-oriented Talent analytics and HR Sustainability • Role of Leadership in sustainable HRM practices.
Disruptive and Game Changing Technologies in Modern Warfare: Development, Use, and Proliferation (Advanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications)
by Margaret E. KosalThis book explores and analyzes emerging innovations within today’s most cutting-edge science and technology (S&T) areas, which are cited as carrying the potential to revolutionize governmental structures, economies, and international security. Some have argued that such technologies will yield doomsday scenarios and that military applications of such technologies have even greater potential than nuclear weapons to radically change the balance of power. As the United States looks to the future – whether dominated by extremist groups co-opting advanced weapons in the world of globalized non-state actors or states engaged in persistent regional conflicts in areas of strategic interest – new adversaries and new science and technology will emerge. Choices made today that affect science and technology will impact how ably the US can and will respond. Chapters within the book look at the changing strategic environment in which security operations are planned and conducted; how these impact science and technology policy choices made today; and predictions of how science and technology may play a beneficial or deleterious role in the future. Some game changing technologies have received global attention, while others may be less well known; the new technologies discussed within this proposal, as well as future discoveries, may significantly alter military capabilities and may generate new threats against military and civilian sectors.

Disruption durch digitale Plattform-Ökosysteme: Eine kompakte Einführung
by Michael JaekelDisruption ist das Schlagwort einer Digitalmoderne, in der digitale Plattform-Ökosysteme eine neue Ökonomie erzeugen. Es expandiert eine Plattform-Ökonomie, die etablierte Unternehmen und Industrien in ihren Grundfesten erschüttert. Die Erschütterungen werden von dem Phänomen der Disruption ausgelöst. In Literatur und Praxis wird der Begriff der Disruption aber inflationär für nahezu alles herangezogen. Daher zielt das vorliegende kompakte Buch auf die kohärente Klärung des Begriffs der Disruption als ein Axiom der Digitalmoderne ab. Zudem erläutert der Autor die Expansionsdynamiken digitaler Plattform-Öko-Systeme durch Big Data-Management und Anwendungen der schwachen Künstlichen Intelligenz. Die Ausführungen zeigen die Relevanz der Disruptionstheorie praxisorientiert am Beispiel der digitalen Transformation eines großen Verlagshauses. Der Autor bietet mit seinem Werk Denkwerkzeuge und -anregungen, jedoch keinen schablonenhaften Ratgeber. Damit richtet sich das Buch an alle, die sich mit disruptiven Dynamiken der Digitalisierung kritisch auseinandersetzen und eigene Gedanken weiterentwickeln möchten.

Disrupting Digital Business
by R Ray" WangWe are no longer an economy of products and services. The digital transformation demands that we focus our attention on experiences and outcomes. Business leaders and their organizations must shift to keeping promises-no matter how their customers interact with them.But organizations no longer control the conversation. In this era of social and mobile technology, customers, employees, suppliers, and partners are in direct communication with one another. Those personal networks and the brands they're passionate about influence their decision making and their spending.The workforce has changed too. Employees expect to be able to determine when and how they will work, the technology they'll use, and the values their company will espouse.Organizations can take part in this conversation only if they recognize how and where it's happening. Resisting these changes will leave executives, managers, and their companies powerless. Organizations must pivot with and ahead of these social, organizational, and technological shifts or risk being left behind.Technology guru Ray Wang shows how organizations can surf the waves of change-how they can keep their promises. Current trends, when taken seriously, require a new way of thinking about business that includes five key areas:1. Consumerization of technology and the new C-suite2. Data's influence in driving decisions3. Digital marketing transformation4. The future of work5. Matrix commerceDigital disruption has changed how we do our work. But by mastering these trends you'll delight your customers with every interaction.
Disrespectful Democracy: The Psychology of Political Incivility
by Professor Emily SydnorThe majority of Americans think that politics has an “incivility problem” and that this problem is only getting worse. Research demonstrates that negativity and rudeness in politics have been increasing for decades. But how does this tide of impolite-to-outrageous language affect our reactions to media coverage and our political behavior?Disrespectful Democracy offers a new account of the relationship between incivility and political behavior based on a key individual predisposition—conflict orientation. Individuals experience conflict in different ways; some enjoy arguments while others are uncomfortable and avoid confrontation. Drawing on a range of original surveys and experiments, Emily Sydnor contends that the rise of incivility in political media has transformed political involvement. Citizens now need to be able to tolerate or even welcome incivility in the public sphere in order to participate in the democratic process. Yet individuals who are turned off by incivility are not brought back in by civil presentation of issues. Sydnor considers the challenges in evaluating incivility’s normative benefits and harms to the political system: despite some detrimental aspects, certain levels of incivility in certain venues can promote political engagement, and confrontational behavior can be a vital tool in the citizen’s democratic arsenal. A rigorous and empirically informed analysis of political rhetoric and behavior, Disrespectful Democracy also proposes strategies to engage citizens across the range of conflict orientations.
