La Ribera Health Department (A)
by Regina E. Herzlinger Emer Moloney Daniela BeyersdorferThe La Ribera case studies depict an innovative low cost/high quality privately financed hospital model struggling to achieve alignment with the Six Factors. It is reimbursed by the public sector in a Spanish environment whose Consumers, Structure, and Public Policy favor public health care. But the Accountability factor shows it to be the highest quality hospital in the region with 25% lower costs and Spain's Financing is weak. The A case (9-315-006) asks: What Business Model elements enabled La Ribera to achieve this level of value? How can it improve on its 1% profit margin and better align itself with the Six Factors? The hospital hired a consulting firm that presented four new options that could potentially increase returns. Which, if any, best fit with the ten elements of its Business Model? The B case (9-318-134) contains the d nouement for La Ribera.

La Singularité Économique: L'intelligence artificielle et le capitalisme de luxe entièrement automatisé
by Calum ChaceLa Singularité Économique La singularité économique désigne le moment où la majorité de la population se retrouvera au chômage, car les machines pourront accomplir toutes les tâches humaines plus rapidement, plus efficacement et à moindre coût. Si certains affirment qu’elle est impossible, beaucoup de spécialistes en IA l’envisagent, même s'ils divergent sur l’échéance à laquelle elle surviendra. L'Intelligence Artificielle (IA) est déjà plus performante que l'humain dans sa capacité d'assimilation et de traitement de l'information. Les robots deviennent de plus en plus habiles, flexibles et sécurisés (à l'exception des robots militaires). L'IA est la plus puissante de nos technologies, il est devenu vital de la comprendre. Cette troisième édition du best-seller de Calum Chace bénéficie d'une mise à jour et d'une extension substantielles. Il affirme que la singularité économique constitue le plus grand défi de l'humanité de la première moitié du XXIe siècle, mais aussi l'opportunité la plus prometteuse. Les voitures autonomes et les smartphones avec lesquels il est possible de dialoguer sont sans doute « les canaris dans la mine de charbon », qui tireront la sonnette d'alarme pour tous ceux qui n'y prêtent pas encore attention. Tous les métiers seront concernés, des McJobs de la restauration rapide, aux avocats et aux journalistes. La tendance à croire que le Revenu de Base Universel soit la solution idéale n'est que partiellement correcte. Nous aurons vraisemblablement besoin d'un tout nouveau système économique. Nous devons commencer dès maintenant à nous préparer à la Singularité Économique. Selon Chace, elle pourrait avoir une issue très positive. Nous pourrions vivre dans un monde où les machines se chargent de toutes les tâches ennuyeuses et où les humains font ce qui leur plaît. Mais il met en garde contre les risques majeurs, que nous ne pourrons éviter qu

La vostra vacanza a Disney World: Un manuale guida di riferimento rapido
by NIkita MillerManuale guida per un viaggio a Disney World - Questo libro non si ritiene una guida integrale su Disney World. Sono disponibili molte guide altamente dettagliate e massicce che soddisfano questo scopo, ma nell’utilizzarle trovai che sono talmente dettagliate che devo leggere molto per trovare quello che stavo semplicemente cercando. Ho scritto questo libro per le persone che necessitano una panoramica utile e veloce sui quattro principali parchi a tema (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, e Disney Studios), dove si può mangiare, dove si può stare, in modo da formare una conoscenza operativa senza spendere delle ore nella lettura. Le grandi guide sono più utili a riempire dei spazi vuoti.
Lab Rats: How Silicon Valley Made Work Miserable for the Rest of Us
by Dan LyonsNew York Times bestselling author Dan Lyons exposes how the "new oligarchs" of Silicon Valley have turned technology into a tool for oppressing workers in this "passionate" (Kirkus) and "darkly funny" (Publishers Weekly) examination of workplace culture.At a time of soaring corporate profits and plenty of HR lip service about "wellness," millions of workers--in virtually every industry--are deeply unhappy. Why did work become so miserable? Who is responsible? And does any company have a model for doing it right?For two years, Lyons ventured in search of answers. From the innovation-crazed headquarters of the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, to a cult-like "Holocracy" workshop in San Francisco, and to corporate trainers who specialize in ... Legos, Lyons immersed himself in the often half-baked and frequently lucrative world of what passes for management science today. He shows how new tools, workplace practices, and business models championed by tech's empathy-impaired power brokers have shattered the social contract that once existed between companies and their employees. These dystopian beliefs--often masked by pithy slogans like "We're a Team, Not a Family"--have dire consequences: millions of workers who are subject to constant change, dehumanizing technologies--even health risks. A few companies, however, get it right. With Lab Rats, Lyons makes a passionate plea for business leaders to understand this dangerous transformation, showing how profit and happy employees can indeed coexist.

LabCDMX: Experiment 50
by Maria Fernanda Miguel Mitchell WeissThere were probably 30,000 public buses, minibuses, and vans in Mexico City. Though, in 2015, no one knew for certain since no comprehensive schedule existed. This was why el Laboratorio para la Ciudad (or LabCDMX) had spawned an effort to generate a map of the labyrinth system that provided an estimated 14 million rides a day. Gabriella G mez-Mont, the Lab's founder and director, had led her team in a project to crowd-source the routes from volunteer riders in what came to be known as Mapat n CDMX. After four pilots and a two-week "mapping marathon" later, she wondered exactly what to make of the lab's fiftieth experiment? Was Mapat n successful?

Labor and Love in Guatemala: The Eve of Independence
by Catherine KomisarukLabor and Love in Guatemalare-envisions the histories of labor and ethnic formation in Spanish America. Taking cues from gender studies and the "new" cultural history, the book transforms perspectives on the major social trends that emerged across Spain's American colonies: populations from three continents mingled; native people and Africans became increasingly hispanized; slavery and other forms of labor coercion receded. Komisaruk's analysis shows how these developments were rooted in gendered structures of work, migration, family, and reproduction. The engrossing narrative reconstructs Afro-Guatemalan family histories through slavery and freedom, and tells stories of native working women and men based on their own words. The book takes us into the heart of sweeping historical processes as it depicts the migrations that linked countryside to city, the sweat and filth of domestic labor, the rise of female-headed households, and love as it was actually practiced—amidst remarkable permissiveness by both individuals and the state.
Labor And Monopoly Capital: The Degradation Of Work In The Twentieth Century
by Harry BravermanThis widely acclaimed book, first published in 1974, was a classic from its first day in print.

This new edition features an introduction by John Bellamy Foster that sets the work in historical and theoretical context, as well as two rare articles by Braverman, "The Degradation of Work in the Twentieth Century" (1975) and "Two Comments" (1976), that add much to our understanding of the book.
Labor and Power in the Late Ottoman Empire: Tobacco Workers, Managers, and the State, 1872–1912
by Can NacarBy the early twentieth century, consumers around the world had developed a taste for Ottoman-grown tobacco. Employing tens of thousands of workers, the Ottoman tobacco industry flourished in the decades between the 1870s to the First Balkan War—and it became the locus of many of the most active labor struggles across the empire. Can Nacar delves into the lives of these workers and their fight for better working conditions. Full of insight into the changing relations of power between capital and labor in the Ottoman Empire and the role played by state actors in these relations, this book also draws on a rich array of primary sources to foreground the voices of tobacco workers themselves.
Labor and Punishment: Work in and out of Prison
by Erin HattonThe insightful chapters in this volume reveal the multiple and multifaceted intersections between mass incarceration and neoliberal precarity. Both mass incarceration and the criminal justice system are profoundly implicated in the production and reproduction of the low-wage "exploitable" precariat, both within and beyond prison walls. The carceral state is a regime of labor discipline—and a growing one—that extends far beyond its own inmate labor. This regime not only molds inmates into compliant workers willing and expected to accept any "bad" job upon release but also compels many Americans to work in such jobs under threat of incarceration, all the while bolstering their "exploitability" and socioeconomic marginality. Contributors include Anne Bonds, Philip Goodman, Amanda Bell Hughett, Caroline M. Parker, Gretchen Purser, Jacqueline Stevens, and Noah D. Zatz.
Labor and the Chinese Revolution: Class Strategies and Contradictions of Chinese Communism, 1928–1948 (Michigan Monographs In Chinese Studies #49)
by S. Bernard ThomasIn the two-decade period from 1928 to 1948, the proletarian themes and issues underlying the Chinese Communist Party’s ideological utterances were shrouded in rhetoric designed, perhaps, as much to disguise as to chart actual class strategies. Rhetoric notwithstanding, a careful analysis of such pronouncements is vitally important in following and evaluating the party’s changing lines during this key revolutionary period. The function of the “proletariat” in the complex of policy issues and leadership struggles which developed under the precarious circumstances of those years had an importance out of all proportion to labor’s relatively minor role in the post-1927 Communist led revolution.
