Three unassailable facts will strike you as soon as you start to read The Future of Innovation: ¢ One: innovation is the new mantra; whether you're involved in teaching art and design, new product development for a blue chip consumer brand or responsible for providing public services to citizens; ¢ Two: understanding innovation requires multiple perspectives; from culture and mindset, social and commercial context, new ways of working as much as new products or services; ¢ Three: innovation is a journey; drawing on insights from around the globe is essential to accelerate our progress.

En Cuentos y Misterios, el señor Hernández nos presenta una solidez y sobriedad de su estética narrativa que se hace manifiesta desde su primera historia, "El Compadre gavilán" en la cual se destaca su habilidad como fabulista. Su segunda historia, "No pudo evadir su destino" es un buen ejemplo de una estampa cultural hispana; en cuanto trata de todos los pormenores relacionados con un mortuorio como se realiza en cualquiera de los países hispanos. "El desconocido" es un excelente ejemplo de "lo real maravilloso." Otro recurso postmodernista que se manifiesta en este cuento es la parodia de las autoridades represivas oficiales; que sirve de estrategia para que los grupos marginados y reprimidos confronten la cultura dominante. Finalmente, quisiera señalar el empleo de las técnicas narrativas del cubismo y del realismo mágico en las dos últimas historias, "El juicio de Manuel Contreras" y "Tersa," además de algunos rasgos existencialistas manifiestos en estas historias. Breve resumen de la reseña de Horacio A. Hernández, Ph.D.

Narrator Jonathan Sweet, a Santa Fe gallery owner, describes a suspense filled trek from Paris to the shores of Northern California in pursuit of a dedicated group of international art forgers, who have deprived him of his most valuable asset, a painting worth millions. He falls prey to a mysterious woman who appears to blend in and out of the story with unusual deftness. Sweet, a fun loving bachelor, never quite gets the real picture, a picture of Nazi sympathizers and Russian capitalists, who hold the key to the painting’s Holocaust history. There are clues he overlooks from beginning to end. From the start, it has been a story of “Smoke and Mirrors.”
The passenger airline industry is a prominent service industry that is becoming increasingly commoditized. As little empirical work in this field exists, this study contributes to research by exploring how passenger airlines leverage innovation in such market conditions from a strategic and organizational view. Comprehensive case studies of a sample of eight passenger airlines constitute the empirical basis.

The study proposes an organizational concept and a strategic approach for airlines to innovate in an increasingly commoditized market.
