Sociedade Vigiada
A maior parte das pessoas está desatenta à vigilância permanente exercida por corporações e Estados por meio das novas tecnologias, que se tornaram onipresentes em nossas vidas. Acredita-se que os cidadãos comuns não incomodam os grandes poderes – e por isso não são alvos. Este livro alerta para a ingenuidade de tal crença. Ele mostra que os danos causados pela captura permanente de nossos dados vão muito além do risco de desvendar a vida íntima de cada um. Está se gestando, em enorme retrocesso civilizatório, um mundo em que um pequeno grupo de atores controlará as escolhas individuais e coletivas: da roupa a vestir na próxima semana às decisões políticas que moldam o mundo. Para evitar o desastre, é preciso compreender em profundidade os riscos – e enxergar as alternativas. Sociedade Vigiada é uma obra indispensável para isso. "O capitalismo de vigilância precisa ser reconhecido como uma força profundamente antidemocrática" – Shoshana Zuboff
Utopia, ética, religião
O livro Utopia, ética, religião tem como objetivo provocar respostas concretas ao agravamento socioambiental promovido pelas recentes investidas do pensamento hegemônico.

Knowledge-Based Dynamic Capabilities
This book provides a knowledge-based view to the dynamic capabilities in an organization. The author integrates two existing views on gaining competitive advantage: the Knowledge View which suggests that the capability of organizations to learn faster than competitors is the only source of competitiveness; and the Dynamic Capability View which speculates that a firm’s competitive advantage rests on dynamic capabilities which enable a firm to constantly renew the stock of ordinary organizational capabilities in accordance with the changes in the business environment. Using the IT sector in India as a case study, this book provides and tests a new framework--Knowledge-Based Dynamic Capabilities—in the prediction of competitive advantage in organizations.
The Age of Unproductive Capital
This book offers a very direct and readable analysis of the main challenges facing our societies today, such as reducing inequality, protecting the planet, and in particular mobilizing our financial resources which linger in tax havens and feed speculation, instead of funding the sustainable development we need. It precisely considers the most important factors, including corporate governance, financialization, capturing political power, and the limits to adequate national economic policies in a world dominated by global finance. The book’s presentation of how sensible and productive policies are dismantled will be highly interesting for the international community, whether in the academic, corporate or government spheres.
