Book Description
Cybermetric Techniques to Evaluate Organizations Using Web-Based Data proposes a complete and multifaceted analysis model, integrating quantitative and qualitative measures (extracted from web usability, SEO and design interaction metrics and evaluations) with a purpose of finding potential correlations. It also includes metrics from new social media platforms, metrics related to the interaction among companies, impact filtering according to different entity categories, innovation and scientific activities and media presence. This model is then applied to test feasibility and accuracy. Different statistical methods and tests are also applied to guide data gathering and analysis. - Proposes a new model aimed at measuring performance of private companies on the web, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques - Applies an empirical model to different environments (scientific, professional, innovation and media), providing new and original data not found elsewhere - Demonstrates both the advantages and risks of using indicators - Introduces solid statistical techniques for web data analysis - Presents a whole picture for measuring the web performance of technology companies through web metrics

Management in the Age of Digital Business Complexity
Author: Bill McKelvey
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000393739
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Management in the Age of Digital Business Complexity focuses on how the digital age is changing management and vastly speeding up complexity dynamics. The recent coevolution of technologies has dramatically changed in just a few years how people and firms learn, communicate, and behave. Consequently, the process of how firms coevolve and the speed at which they coevolve has been dramatically changed in the digital age, and managerial methods are lagging way behind. Combining his own expertise with that of a number of specialist and international co-authors, McKelvey conveys how companies that fall behind digitally can quickly be driven out of business. The book has been created for academics seeking to upgrade management thinking into the modern digital age and vastly improve the change capabilities of firms facing digital-oriented competition.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations IV
Author: J. Casares
Publisher: WIT Press
ISBN: 1784664413
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Containing papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Design, Construction and Operations, this volume brings together the research of experts from industry, practice and academia. It describes innovative solutions and predictions for future trends across key BIM-related topics. The modern construction industry and built environment disciplines have been transformed through the development of new and innovative BIM tools and techniques. These have fundamentally altered the manner in which construction teams operate; the processes through which designs are evolved; and the relationships between conceptual, detail, construction and life cycle stages. BIM is essentially value-creating collaboration throughout the entire life-cycle of an asset, underpinned by the data attached to them. BIM has far and reaching consequences on both building procurement and infrastructure. This recent emergence constitutes one of the most exciting developments in the field of the Built Environment. These advances have offered project teams multi-sensory collaborative tools and opportunities for new communication structures. The included papers cover such topics as: BIM in design coordination; BIM in construction operations; BIM in building operation and maintenance; BIM and sustainability; BIM and collaborative working and practices; BIM-Facilities management integration; BIM-GIS integration; BIM and automation in construction; BIM and health and safety; BIM standards; BIM and interoperability; BIM and life cycle project management; BIM and cultural heritage; BIM and robotics; BIM in risk analysis and management; BIM in building cost control; BIM and building representation; Virtual design and construction (VDC); BIM in the execution phase; BIM for infrastructure development; Digital twins.

Cybernetic Psychology and Mental Health
Author: Timothy J. Beck
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100008034X
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
This book explores the cultural importance of cybernetic technologies and their relationship to human experience through a critical theoretical lens. Bringing several often-marginalized histories of cybernetics, psychology, and mental health into dialogue with one another, Beck questions common assumptions about human life such as that our minds operate as information processing machines and our neurons communicate with one another. Rather than suggest that such ideas are either right or wrong, however, this book analyzes how and why we have come to frame questions about ourselves in these ways, as if our brains were our own personal computers. Here, the rationality underlying information theories in psychology is followed to its logical conclusion, only to find it circles back to where it began: engineered methods of human control. After tracing a series of recent developments in this vein across fields related to mental health, Beck highlights emerging psychosocial alternatives by incorporating recent work of scholars and activists who have already begun creating collective support networks in radical ways. Their work overlaps fruitfully with ideas from those, including Gilbert Simondon and Fernand Deligny, who foresaw many of the current problems with how information theories have been coupled with psychology and mental health care. This book is fascinating reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students across psychology, mental health programs, and digital media studies, and academics and researchers with a theoretical interest in the philosophy of technology. It’s also an interesting resource for professionals with a practical interest in organizing care services under the data-driven imperatives of contemporary capitalism.
