What Machines Can't Do

What Machines Can't Do

Politics and Technology in the Industrial Enterprise

By: Robert J. Thomas

Thomas, a faculty member at MIT, urges managers not to put blind hopes into smarter machines but to find smarter ways to organize people. Rather than recoil from the idea that technological change is political, he argues, theorists and practitioners alike should use political differences to inspire new uses for technology and more creative forms of industrial organization. In an imaginative final chapter, Thomas proposes an "aesthetic of process" for coordinating the aspirations of those who work in the factory, the engineering lab, and the corporate boardroom." "As U.S. companies battle for survival in an era of growing global competition, What Machines Can't Do offers valuable insights into the ways we organize work. Challenging conventional theories and provoking controversy in its call for change, it is essential reading for anyone interested in the impact of technology on jobs and organizations and in the future of the industrial enterprise."--BOOK JACKET.

Foundations of Global Genetic Optimization

By: Robert Schaefer

Genetic algorithms today constitute a family of e?ective global optimization methods used to solve di?cult real-life problems which arise in science and technology. Despite their computational complexity, they have the ability to explore huge data sets and allow us to study exceptionally problematic cases in which the objective functions are irregular and multimodal, and where information about the extrema location is unobtainable in other ways. Theybelongtotheclassofiterativestochasticoptimizationstrategiesthat, during each step, produce and evaluate the set of admissible points from the search domain, called the random sample or population. As opposed to the Monte Carlo strategies, in which the population is sampled according to the uniform probability distribution over the search domain, genetic algorithms modify the probability distribution at each step. Mechanisms which adopt sampling probability distribution are transposed from biology. They are based mainly on genetic code mutation and crossover, as well as on selection among living individuals. Such mechanisms have been testedbysolvingmultimodalproblemsinnature,whichiscon?rmedinpart- ular by the many species of animals and plants that are well ?tted to di?erent ecological niches. They direct the search process, making it more e?ective than a completely random one (search with a uniform sampling distribution). Moreover,well-tunedgenetic-basedoperationsdonotdecreasetheexploration ability of the whole admissible set, which is vital in the global optimization process. The features described above allow us to regard genetic algorithms as a new class of arti?cial intelligence methods which introduce heuristics, well tested in other ?elds, to the classical scheme of stochastic global search.

Endothelin Receptors

From the Gene to the Human

By: Robert R. Ruffolo, Jr.

Since the discovery of endothelin, major advances have been made in understanding the molecular structure and function of the endothelin receptors. At least two subtypes of receptors, designated ETA and ETB, have been identified through biochemical and pharmacological techniques. These subtypes are cloned and expressed and additional subtypes appear to exist. The biochemical events involved in the signal transduction processes that ultimately activate the cellular machinery involved in the end-organ responses are presented, as are the mechanisms by which the receptors recognize specific and different G-proteins. Functions mediated by the receptors at the cellular, tissue and, organ level are reviewed in detail, as well as the roles that they may play a part in the physiologic and pathophysiologic processes in animals and in humans. This book is unique in its breadth of scope. The most recent and important advances, from the intracellular level of the nucleus to the functional effect that endothelin receptors mediate in intact organs, are compiled and reviewed.

Applied Sport Management Skills

By: Robert N. Lussier,David C. Kimball

Applied Sport Management Skills, Second Edition With Web Study Guide, uses the four management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling to teach students how to become strong leaders and managers in the world of sport. This comprehensive and fully updated text provides an overview of management topics with a unique focus on developing the skills necessary for managing sport organizations. The text’s how-to approach and unmatched learning tools help students put into practice what they will be doing as sport managers—including creative problem solving, strategic planning, and developing the skills to lead, organize, and delegate. By taking principles and concepts presented in the text and applying them to professional practice, students will be able to assess how their interests and skills can contribute to the growing field of sport management. Applied Sport Management Skills, Second Edition, has been thoroughly updated to enhance the educational experience. Two new features have been added to the second edition. Social Media Exercises expose students to the expanding role of social media in managing a sport organization, and Starting a Sport Business features encourage students to explore the real-world needs of sport entrepreneurship, such as developing an organizational structure, formulating ideas on leading employees, and controlling the financial aspects of their sport business. These new tools complement popular features from the first edition to help students understand leadership and management in the sport industry: • Reviewing Their Game Plan chapter-opening scenarios, revisited throughout each chapter, provide a cohesive thread to keep students focused on how sport managers use the concepts on the job. • Chapter-closing case studies, questions, and exercises help students apply knowledge to specific situations. • Applying the Concept question boxes provide an opportunity for critical thinking by asking how specific concepts are relevant to a sport situation. • Time-Out boxes demonstrate how text concepts relate to students’ actual experience in sports, including part-time, full-time, and summer jobs. • Self-assessment exercises offer insight into students’ strengths and weaknesses. • Behavior models provide step-by-step guidance on handling day-to-day situations that students will face in the sport setting. • Developing Your Skills features, learning outcomes, and key terms are revisited throughout the chapter to reinforce key points. Instructor resources have been updated with this edition, and the expanded instructor guide provides advice on using the student web study guide with the book material to better engage students. The web study guide is better organized and integrated with the text to help students use the learning activities in a dynamic and interactive setting. Exercises appearing in the book are correspondingly numbered in the web study guide, where students may test their understanding with quizzes and other activities that further reinforce important concepts. Many activities in the web study guide can be completed as graded class assignments, whereas others provide immediate correct or incorrect feedback to students. Applied Sport Management Skills, Second Edition, provides readers with a thorough understanding of the management principles and concepts used in sport organizations and the challenges that managers face. This understanding is enhanced by the application of that knowledge and by the focus on developing management skills, allowing students to build a solid foundation toward a fulfilling career in sport management.
