Management in Singularity: From linear to exponential management (The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Business. How to compete and evolve in the age of singularity)
The book is titled The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Business. How to Compete and Evolve in the Age of Singularity by Tew Bloommart and Stefan van der Brook. The first time I read it on New Year's Eve and it then inspired me New Year's mood, or more precisely, then I remembered about Olivier salad, which looks great on the festive table, but as a metaphor for the content of the book somehow does not work very well:)
Speaking specifically about the book, interesting and useful points were: Many references to good sources for further reading Interesting thoughts about the future, which are worth thinking about at leisure:) Some examples are pretty good.
- I was hanged by a bimodal model in the IT department. (run and change format)
If we talk about the disadvantages, these are:
- mention of the singularity by 1-2 almost every page Half of the book is devoted to exponential growth, which is presented as something difficult to perceive.) But the concept is banal, and anyone who remembers the geometric progression from school is familiar with it. (An example from life - Moore's empirical law)
- with the exception of the concept of exponential growth, which is too long, the rest of the authors are too brief, and sometimes so that there is doubt that they make statements about what they understand:)
- indistinct CRTA model (Connect-Respond-Trust-Accelerate), which, according to the authors, should replace the Deming-Shuhart cycle PDCA (CRTA model linked as a photo)
Anyway, it's an amateur book. But you can read to continue to get acquainted with the external sources of knowledge mentioned in the book:)
