Existence Is Indeed Evidence Of Immortality If The Past Is Infinite - Or, On Proofs Of Eternal Recurrence Using Transition System
168 SEK
This study is concerned with the question if existence is evidence of eternal recurrence, that a current observer is within a cyclic world, if the past is infinite. Michael Huemer proposed a proof of existence being evidence of immortality using a Bayesian approach, which is discussed, as well as various counter arguments. This study then uses transition systems, a non-Bayesian approach, to prove various results about worlds that can be described by them. It is proved that in transition systems with an infinite past and a finite state set, where time can be discretely subdivided, eternal recurrence is the case for every observer in a world described by such a system. Finally, the reasoning, potential and actual counter arguments, consequences, and future research are considered.
Modularization - The Art Of Making More By Using Less
248 SEK
In his book, Modularization, Martin Sköld shows how companies and organizations in all industries, can release their greatest competitive potential. Although this potential exists, it is often ignored, which means most businesses rely on only a single competitive advantage.Some organizations are like a subway. They are experts in creating high volume by transporting thousands of people every day. The high volume is a prerequisite for low costs, but this also means that goods and services are general and are the same for everyone. Therefore, the subway cannot transport each customer exactly where they want to go; they can only follow certain routes.Other organizations are like a cab, specializing in handling high variety and driving the customer exactly where they want to go. The high variety provides customer value and revenue benefits because the product or service is flexible and customized to suit each customer's unique needs. But the high variation also means that volume is low, as the number of customers per taxi is low. Volume and variety pull organizations in opposite directions and they are forced to make a trade-off.However, with a clear structure, and many good examples, Martin shows that modularization is the foundation to achieving double competitiveness. It is a strategy to beat the trade-off between volume and variety. It combines the benefits of high volume and high variety and provides a strong competitive advantage by combining low costs with high revenue. It is a strategy which can be applied across all types of industries and in the private and public sector.Author: Martin Sköld is a researcher at the Stockholm School of Economics and divides his time between academia and industry. Brought up in a family business and with fifteen years of management research in major international corporations, he has acquired unique competencies and extensive knowledge within his field. He is a very popular speaker for managers and leaders at all organizational levels.Endorsements:Martin describes the challenges we face daily. Finally, a practical handbook that explains what to do and how to think in order to be competitive in different ways at once. The book accurately summarizes how companies and organizations can sharpen their competitive edge in an ever-changing world using simple and smart tools.
