Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2008 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 1,0, Campus02 University of Applied Sciences Graz (Studiengang Innovationsmanagement), language: English, abstract: The bachelor thesis in hand is concerned with two main subject areas: different minds and control of complex systems. These two topics are linked by the recurrent theme of creativity and co-operation. The first part focuses on characters and perceptions, using the concept of Spiral Dynamics to explain and describe differences. The second part contemplates complex systems with the cognitions of biocybernetics. The third part consolidates both themes and exemplifies the formation of innovation teams and networks. Methods like the ‘Six Thinking Hats’ and ‘Sensitivity Analysis’ are made mention of. As a result, it is enunciated how a nature-oriented cultural evolution leads to sustainability and supports the cultivation of an ‘Innovative Mind’.
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2007 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 1,0, Campus02 University of Applied Sciences Graz (Studiengang Innovationsmanagement), language: English, abstract: The bachelor thesis in hand compares biological and technical innovation strategies and analyses potential connexions between ‘The Theory of Inventive Problems Solving – TRIZ’ and ‘Bionics’. The analysis focuses mainly on the ‘Seven Pillars’ and ‘TRIZ Trends’ of the innovation philosophy ‘Systematic Innovation’ as well as on Darwin’s theory of evolution and the ‘Ten Principles of Biological Design’ of bionics. Consequently analogies and differences between biological and technical strategies are identified, descriptive examples are presented and the relevance of these perceptions for human innovation strategies is evaluated. As a result the combination of bionical and TRIZ-based techniques is recommended as a basis for a holistic, evolutionary-oriented human innovation strategy.
Emergencies—landing a malfunctioning plane, resuscitating a heart attack victim, or avoiding a head-on car crash—all require split-second decisions that can mean life or death. Fortunately, designers of life-saving products have leveraged research and brain science to help users reduce panic and harness their best instincts. Life and Death Design brings these techniques to everyday designers who want to help their users think clearly and act safely.
A new, tenth anniversary edition of the leadership classic that was hailed as one of the 100 Best Business Books of All Time. In his exciting and timeless business parable, The Radical Leap, Steve Farber explores an entirely new leadership model, one in which leaders aren't afraid to take risks, make mistakes in front of employees, or actively solicit employee feedback. His book dispenses with the typical, tired notions of what it means to be a leader. Farber's modern parable begins on a sunny California beach where he has a strange and unexpected encounter with a surfer named Edg. Despite his unassuming appearance, the enigmatic Edg seems to know an awful lot about leadership and this brief interaction propels Steve into an unforgettable journey. Along the way, he learns about Extreme Leadership--and what it means to take the Radical Leap: Cultivate Love Generate Energy Inspire Audacity Provide Proof Geared to people at any level who aspire to change things for the better, The Radical Leap is creating legions of Extreme Leaders in business, education, non-profits and beyond.

How the political events of 1989 shaped Europe after the Cold War 1989 explores the momentous events following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the effects they have had on our world ever since. Based on documents, interviews, and television broadcasts from Washington, London, Paris, Bonn, Berlin, Warsaw, Moscow, and a dozen other locations, 1989 describes how Germany unified, NATO expansion began, and Russia got left on the periphery of the new Europe. This updated edition contains a new afterword with the most recent evidence on the 1990 origins of NATO's post-Cold War expansion.
