"Tidd and Bessant's text has become a standard for students and practitioners of innovation. They offer a lively account on innovation management full of interesting and new examples, but one that at the same is rigorously anchored in what we have learned over the last thirty years on how to manage that ultimate business challenge of renewing products, processes, and business models. Those who want to innovate must read this book."
— Professor Arnoud De Meyer, Director, Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, UK "Innovation matters and this book by two leaders in the field which is clear and practical as well as rigorous should be essential reading for all seeking to study or to become involved in innovation."
— Chris Voss, Professor of Operations and Technology Management, London Business School "...comprehensive and comprehensible compendium on the management of innovation. It is very well organized and very well presented. A pedagogic tool that will work at multiple levels for those wishing to gain deeper insights into some of the most challenging and important management issues of the day."
— David J. Teece, Thomas W. Tusher Professor in Global Business, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, USA "Those of us who teach in the field of Innovation Management were delighted when the first edition of this book appeared 11 years ago. The field had long been in need of such a comprehensive and integrated empirically-based work. The fact that this is now the 4th edition is clear testimony to the value of its contribution. We are deeply indebted to the authors for their dedication and diligence in providing us with this updated and expanded volume."
— Thomas J. Allen,Howard W. Johnson Professor of Management, MIT Sloan School of Management, USA

This `goldmine of concepts for understanding business and industrial organization' was originally published in 1959 but had a powerful influence on economists and business strategists ever since. The author combines rigorous theory with close observation of the real business world, and writes simply but with an original approach. Her focus on teams and organizational knowledge underlines contemporary discussion of 'organizational competences' and she has written a new introduction which assesses the book's impact and describes the subsequent development of her own ideas.

James Gleick, the author of the bestsellers Chaos and Genius , brings us his crowning work: a revelatory chronicle that shows how information has become the modern era’s defining quality—the blood, the fuel, the vital principle of our world.
The story of information begins in a time profoundly unlike our own, when every thought and utterance vanished as soon as it was born. From the invention of scripts and alphabets to the long misunderstood “talking drums” of Africa, James Gleick tells the story of information technologies that changed the very nature of human consciousness. He provides portraits of the key figures contributing to the inexorable development of our modern understanding of information: Charles Babbage, the idiosyncratic inventor of the first great mechanical computer; Ada Byron, the poet’s brilliant and doomed daughter, who became the first true programmer; pivotal figures like Samuel Morse and Alan Turing; and Claude Shannon, the creator of information theory itself.
And then the information age comes upon us. Citizens of this world become experts willy-nilly: aficionados of bits and bytes. And they sometimes feel they are drowning, swept by a deluge of signs and signals, news and images, blogs and tweets. The Information is the story of how we got here and where we are heading. It will transform readers’ view of its subject.

From Inside the Book:

新朝将定，乐兴而礼修；旧朝将亡，礼崩而乐坏。
胡先生视野浩瀚，思想幽微。本书以“礼”、“乐”为纲，枝蔓到诸如东方（主要是中国、日本和印度）的文明制度、易经、宗教、革命、文学、音乐、书法、绘画、舞蹈……；西方的基督教文明、制度、科学、文学、雕塑、绘画、歌剧、古典音乐、摇滚乐……。它们各自的式样、行成和演变，互相间的影响和交融。
这是晨钟之作，大义精微；这是常识之书，文艺普及。
胡兰成文章的精神骨子虽承自《易传》、《庄子》、《史记》一路之传统，但他又不似一些旧学邃密的国故论者，对传统只是亦步亦趋，却完全无法对当代有所回应。恰好相反，胡尽管根植于晚周诸子的论说传统，却处处皆成新意。
——薛仁明
胡兰成论中国民间之文可喜……非我所及也。天下固有先知，兄亦固可为先知。
——唐君毅

本书写于1930年。当时作者虽相当了解法西斯主义，但对国家社会主义几乎一无所知。当作者还在为书稿的完成而喜悦时，十分震惊地听说国家社会党人在1930年的选举中赢得了最初的胜利。书稿被搁置一旁有一年之久。因为我不想让它在我的三卷本《哲学》之有问世。《哲学》在1931年发表。该书发表后几星期，本书也出版了。
为了阐明那个时代，作者利用了仅属于那些特别岁月的事实材料，因而本书在许多方面感染了当时的气氛。尽管自它问世以来已发生了种种事情，但是若考虑一下今天的哲学状况和世界情景，那么作者认为，它在现在和当时一样有效。
作者为德国存在主义哲学家, 主张哲学是对存在的主观解释, 认为哲学应当为人的自由而呼吁, 应当注重人的生存, 并以此作为一切现实的核心。本书为其重要著作。

In 2010 world-renowned innovation expert Clayton M. Christensen gave a powerful speech to the Harvard Business School's graduating class. Drawing upon his business research, he offered a series of guidelines for finding meaning and happiness in life. He used examples from his own experiences to explain how high achievers can all too often fall into traps that lead to unhappiness.
The speech was memorable not only because it was deeply revealing but also because it came at a time of intense personal reflection: Christensen had just overcome the same type of cancer that had taken his father's life. As Christensen struggled with the disease, the question "How do you measure your life?" became more urgent and poignant, and he began to share his insights more widely with family, friends, and students.
In this groundbreaking book, Christensen puts forth a series of questions: How can I be sure that I'll find satisfaction in my career? How can I be sure that my personal relationships become enduring sources of happiness? How can I avoid compromising my integrity—and stay out of jail? Using lessons from some of the world's greatest businesses, he provides incredible insights into these challenging questions.
How Will You Measure Your Life? is full of inspiration and wisdom, and will help students, midcareer professionals, and parents alike forge their own paths to fulfillment.

1913 - Die Geschichte eines ungeheuren Jahres

Virtuos entfaltet Florian Illies das Panorama eines unvergleichlichen Jahres, in dem unsere Gegenwart beginnt. In Literatur, Kunst und Musik werden die Extreme ausgereizt, als gäbe es kein Morgen. Proust sucht nach der verlorenen Zeit, Malewitsch malt ein Quadrat, Benn liebt Lasker-Schüler, Strawinsky feiert das Frühlingsopfer, Kirchner gibt der Metropole ein Gesicht, Kafka, Joyce und Musil trinken am selben Tag in Triest einen Cappuccino - und in München verkauft ein österreichischer Postkartenmaler namens Adolf Hitler seine biederen Stadtansichten. 1913: Anfang und Ende, Triumph und Melancholie verschmelzen, alles wird Kunst. Nach diesem Sommer ist nichts mehr, wie es war. Wie kein anderer erweckt der elegante Stilist Florian Illies mit leisem Humor den Zauber eines Schlüsselmoments der Kulturgeschichte zum Leben.

《自由的逻辑》内容简介：迈克尔·博兰尼与哈耶克、波普尔同为“朝圣山学会”的重要代表人物，二战以来捍卫自由的有力斗士。然而，我国学界对哈耶克、波普尔介绍甚多，对博兰尼却少有提及。《自由的逻辑》是博兰尼的重要代表作，初版于1951年。正与哈耶克的《通往奴役之路》、波普尔的《开放社会及其敌人》具有相同的写作背景及目的，亦与这两部捍卫自由的名著有异曲同工之力。《自由的逻辑》收入了作者二战前后的数篇论文，雄辩地阐述了他一如既往倡导的主题，即科学发展与经济进步应以自由的实现为基本前提，而阉割自由的计划体制则有可能牺牲科学及经济发展。

To those weary and wary of the cacophony about what's wrong with education in America and what ought to be done about it, Oakeshott's voice beckons. As usual, his approach to the subject is subtle, comprehensive, and radical -- in the sense of summoning readers to the root of the matter. That root, Oakeshott believed, is the very nature of learning itself and, concomitantly, the means (as distinct from the method) by which the life of learning is discovered, cultivated, and pursued. As Oakeshott has written, "This, then, is what we are concerned with: adventures in human self-understanding. Not the bare protestation that a human being is a self-conscious, reflective intelligence and that he does not live by bread alone, but the actual enquiries, utterances, and actions in which human beings have expressed their understanding of the human condition. This is the stuff of what has come to be called a liberal' education -- liberal' because it is liberated from the distracting business of satisfying contingent wants". Includes a foreword by Timothy Fuller that reiterates the timelessness of Oakeshott's reflections amid the continuing clamour that characterises discourse about liberal education.
