In industry after industry, data, analytics, and AI-driven processes are transforming the nature of work. While we often still treat AI as the domain of a specific skill, business function, or sector, we have entered a new era in which AI is challenging the very concept of the firm. AI-centric organizations exhibit a new operating architecture, redefining how they create, capture, share, and deliver value.
Marco Iansiti and Karim R. Lakhani show how reinventing the firm around data, analytics, and AI removes traditional constraints on scale, scope, and learning that have constrained business growth for hundreds of years. From Airbnb to Ant Financial, Microsoft to Amazon, research shows how AI-driven processes are vastly more scalable than traditional processes, drive massive scope increase, enabling companies to straddle industry boundaries, and enable powerful opportunities for learning--to drive ever more accurate, complex, and sophisticated predictions.
When traditional operating constraints are removed, strategy becomes a whole new game, one whose rules and likely outcomes this book will make clear. Iansiti and Lakhani:
Present a framework for rethinking business and operating models
Explain how "collisions" between AI-driven/digital and traditional/analog firms are reshaping competition and altering the structure of our economy
Show how these collisions force traditional companies to change their operating models to drive scale, scope, and learning
Explain the risks involved in operating model transformation and how to overcome them
Describe the new challenges and responsibilities for the leaders of these firms
Packed with examples--including the most powerful and innovative global, AI-driven competitors--and based on research in hundreds of firms across many sectors, this is the essential guide for rethinking how your firm competes and operates in the era of AI.

Revised and updated critical survey of the field of cosmetics and adornment studies
This revised edition examines how the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries dramatise the Renaissance preoccupation with cosmetics. Farah Karim-Cooper explores the then-contentious issue of female beauty and identifies a 'culture of cosmetics', which finds its visual identity on the early modern stage. She also examines cosmetic recipes and anti-cosmetic literature focusing on their relationship to drama in its representations of gender, race, politics and beauty.
Key Features
Offers a new analysis of the construction of whiteness as a racial signifier
Provides an original insight into women's cosmetic practice through an exploration of ingredients, methods and materials used to create cosmetics and the perception of make up in Shakespeare's time
Includes numerous cosmetic recipes from the early modern period found in printed books and never published in a modern edition

Описание: Matrix analysis is the study of matrices and their algebraic properties. Some particular topics out of many include; operations defined on matrices (such as matrix addition, matrix multiplication and operations derived from these), functions of matrices (such as matrix exponentiation and matrix logarithm, and even sines and cosines etc. of matrices), and the eigenvalues of matrices (eigendecomposition of a matrix, eigenvalue perturbation theory). Matrices can be studied in different ways. They are a linear algebraic structure and have a topological/analytical aspect and they also carry an order structure that is induced by positive semidefinite matrices. The interplay of these closely related structures is an essential feature of matrix analysis. The book treats some aspects of analysis related to matrices including such topics as matrix monotone functions, matrix means, majorization, entropies, quantum Markov triplets. There are several popular matrix applications for quantum theory. This book emphasizes on these aspects of matrix analysis from an efficient analysis point of view. Applications include such areas as signal processing, systems and control theory, statistics, Markov chains, and mathematical biology. Introduction to Matrix Analysis and Applications is appropriate for an advanced graduate course on matrix analysis. It can also be used as a reference for researchers in quantum information, statistics, engineering and economics.

Описание: Mathematics is an integral part of engineering and engineering mathematics is the process of applying the principles of mathematics to solve real life engineering problems. Engineering mathematics is a branch of applied mathematics concerning mathematical methods and techniques that are typically used in engineering and industry. Along with fields like engineering physics and engineering geology, engineering mathematics is an interdisciplinary subject motivated by engineers needs both for practical, theoretical and other considerations out with their specialization, and to deal with constraints to be effective in their work. Historically, engineering mathematics consisted mostly of applied analysis, most notably: differential equations; real and complex analysis; approximation theory; Fourier analysis; potential theory; as well as linear algebra and applied probability, outside of analysis. The success of modern numerical computer methods and software has led to the emergence of computational mathematics, computational science, and computational engineering, which occasionally use high-performance computing for the simulation of phenomena and the solution of problems in the sciences and engineering. These are often considered interdisciplinary fields, but are also of interest to engineering mathematics. The aim of this book, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, is to develop an understanding of the role played by mathematics to help solve engineering problems. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of engineering mathematics. It is intended to introduce students of engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, and related fields to those areas of applied mathematics that are most relevant for solving practical problems.

Описание: The major argument in this book is as follows: Just as the ideas of Pan-Africanism, birthed by Henry Sylvester-Williams and others in the late 1800s, and Negritude, ushered by Aime Cesaire and others in the early 1900s (most of these major Black thinkers being in the Diaspora), that emboldened many major Black thinkers on the Motherland to push for independence across the continent, so will these early thinkers ideas help in the building of a new Africa. The various chapters for this book are the outgrowth of a colloquia series titled Conceptualizations of Africa by Major Black Diaspora Thinkers: Delineating Ideas for Building a New Africa presented at the 22nd Annual Conference of the African Studies and Research Forum which convened at the University of West Georgia, Carrollton, Georgia in March of 2018.

Описание: The undergirding postulate of this book is that Afrocentricity and other ideas birthed by major contemporary Black thinkers in the Diaspora, which have given rise to the Africanist Perspective on the Motherland to place Africa at the center of all intellectual discourses pertaining to African people everywhere, while at the same time challenging the pervasive and pernicious Eurocentric myth of African people being inactive agents in history, are wellsprings for helping to build a new Africa. The chapters that comprise this book were presented as part of a colloquia series titled Conceptualizations of Africa by Major Black Diaspora Thinkers: Delineating Ideas for Building a New Africa presented at the African Studies and Research Forums 22nd Annual Conference that took place at the University of West Georgia, Carrollton, Georgia in March of 2018.

Описание: The South China Sea (SCS) is explicably one of the most dangerous flash points in the world today with the potential to conflagrate into conflicts/skirmishes at the slightest provocation or even by accident. The Sea is uniquely strategically, even located, as it links the Indian and Pacific Oceans through the constricted Malacca Strait. It falls along the most critical sea lanes in trade and commerce for both oceans. The Sea, therefore, is a delicate and volatile water space with overlapping and conflicting claims (under the UNCLOS and historical records) by the surrounding countries. The SCS is a bellwether for determining leadership between two major powers: The United States and China. The United States is still the predominant power, while China remains the front running challenger. Consequently, a transition is underway that is fraught with risks and uncertainty. The transition may not be as smooth as the one between the United States and the United Kingdom after the Second World War. China is rising massively, and thus gradually asserting its influence among the claimant countries of the SCS and elsewhere. That said, China wants to settle the scores with the smaller claimant countries on a one-on-one basis. So, ASEAN centrality is coming under strain, though there are moves to conclude a binding code of conduct. China is resolute to claim sovereignty almost over the entire SCS while the United States means to focus on the freedom of navigation. The United States is conducting freedom-of-navigation operations round the clock, shadowed by an increasingly strengthening PLA. Other powers such as Japan, India, and Australia with their alignments emerging are on the queue to join the fray along with the United States. However, challenging China individually is problematic. Geopolitics of the South China Sea in the Coming Decades captures all of these complexities through a comprehensive, eclectic and objective method. Another unique part of this book is that it makes futuristic projections for the next few decades in the Indo-Pacific Region.
