Internal tech conferences can make a significant impact on an organisation's level of sharing, learning, and communication by accelerating multi-team learning across technology departments. The pace of change in IT means that cross-department learning is essential, and many organisations have found that an internal tech conference is an excellent way to achieve this. This book provides practical advice on how to prepare, run and follow-up on an internal tech conference, together with case studies from several organisations showing the approaches in common and the adaptations for each situation. This book is for people involved in technology leadership in some form: people in "official" positions of leadership (CIO, CTO, Head of Engineering, IT Operations Manager, etc.) and those in more informal technology leadership positions, such as team leaders, senior engineers, and people who simply like to lead by example.

Software organizations have particular organizational cultures and hierarchies, where teamwork and creativity are essential. Investigating research methodologies and collected data from team leaders across these industries, Team Work Quality subjects them to statistical analysis in order to infer how team work quality contributes towards the enhancement of creativity with respect to software organizations. Team Work Quality, a very recent term being widely applied in software organizations across the world now, has been measured in this book using Weimar's model of Team Work Quality. The relationship of five team characteristics namely, team size, team age, team ethnicity, team role and tenure of the team leader, on the relationship between 'Team Work Quality' and 'Creativity is also explored in this book.

Our threefold mission with this text is to inform, instruct, and inspire. We strive to inform students about the important concepts, practices, and leaders in the world of management. We hope to instruct readers by helping them identify their options, make good decisions, and take effective action. To inspire is no small aspiration, but we aspire to do so by providing a real sense of the challenges, possibilities, and opportunities that lie ahead. You need to work with your teammates. Leaders and followers need to work as collaborators more than as adversaries. Work groups throughout your organization need to cooperate with one another. Business and government, often viewed as antagonists, can work productively together. And intense competitors collaborate on some things-—for example, joint ventures-—even as they compete in other arenas. How does an organization create competitive advantage through collaboration? It’s all about the people, and it derives from good leadership.

There are few innovations that have the potential to revolutionize commerce and have evolved so quickly that there remain significant misunderstandings about their operation, opportunity, and challenges as has Bitcoin in the dozen years since its invention. The potential for banking, transacting, and public recording of important records is profound, but can be displacing if not done with appropriate care, and is downright dangerous if certain pitfalls are not noted and avoided. Among other things, this book proves the existence of a Bitcoin dilemma that challenges the conventional wisdom which mistakenly asserts the incredibly intensive energy consumption in Proof-of-Work cryptocurrency mining will be remedied by more efficient mining machines or sustainable power sources. It shows for the first time within a well-specified economic model of Bitcoin mining that the recent runup in electricity consumption has a simple and inevitable explanation.

Простые и мудрые притчи, дошедшие до нас на глиняных табличках сквозь пески времени и пыль веков, раскроют семь главных законов обращения с деньгами, которые должен знать любой человек, стремящийся к финансовому успеху. Вавилон стал самым богатым городом древнего мира благодаря своим жителям. Они знали цену деньгам. Практикуя разумные финансовые принципы, они копили деньги, сохраняли их и делали все, чтобы приносить еще больше денег. Сегодня деньгами управляют те же законы, что и шесть тысяч лет назад, когда гремела слава Вавилона. «Вавилонские притчи» Джорджа Клейсона стали образцом мотивационной классики для всех, кто стремится обеспечить себе стабильный доход.
