This paper considers the role of lean product development (LPD) as part of a company's overall innovation strategy. Our discussion contends that the value-concept in LPD is too strongly tied to product features, and that this may lead to: (i) overemphasis on utilitarian value, (ii) preference for reliability over validity, and (iii) a defensive approach to market-trends. These factors can compromise the philosophy's ability to maximize customer value, and represent a challenge in making LPD fit beyond incremental innovation in the technological domain. Lean innovation (LI) is therefore introduced as an extension of LPD, building on a value concept that embraces emotional as well as utilitarian characteristics. It is suggested that lean principles should not be limited to product development, but should concern all aspects of a company's innovation efforts relevant to offering a pleasurable customer experience.

This paper describes the semiotic approach to organism in two proto-biosemiotic thinkers, Susanne K. Langer and Hans Jonas. Both authors develop ideas that have become central terms of biosemiotics: the organism as subject, the realisation of the living as a closed circular self, the value concept, and, in the case of Langer, the concept of symbol. Langer tries to develop a theory of cultural symbolism based on a theory of organism as a self-realising entity creating meaning and value. This paper deals mainly with what both authors independently call “feeling”. Both authors describe “feeling” as a value-based perspective, established as a result of the active self interest manifested by an organic system. The findings of Jonas and Langer show the generation of a subject pole, or biosemiotic agent, under a more precise accent, as e.g. Uexküll does. Their ideas can also be affiliated to the interpretation of autopoiesis given by the late Francisco Varela (embodied cognition or “enactivism”). A synthesis of these positions might lead to insights how symbolic expression arises from biological conditions of living.

Los economistas ecológicos (p.ej.: Herman Daly) dicen que el desarrollo sostenible solo puede alcanzarse mediante un drástico cambio en nuestro sistema económico basado en el crecimiento. El crecimiento  económico  continuo siendo éste el objetivo de cualquier gobierno, es inherentemente incompatible con el desarrollo sostenible, a menos que el desarrollo sostenible sea definido de forma débil; es decir aceptando sustituibilidad entre capital producido por el hombre y capital natural. Esto ya se lleva actualmente a cabo por la teoría económica neoclásica, las raíces de la cual se encuentran en el concepto del valor, análogo al principio de conservación de la mecánica clásica. Algunos autores esgrimen que es este concepto del valor, combinado con la panacea del progreso tecnológico, lo que permite a la  teoría económica neoclásica creer en un crecimiento económico ilimitado.ABSTRACTEcological Economists (e.g.: Herman Daly) claim that sustainable development can only be achieved by drastically changing our growth based economic system. Continuous economic growth, which is the goal of every government, is inherently incompatible with sustainable development, unless sustainable development is defined in a weak sense; that is as accepting substitutability between human made and natural capital. This is currently done by neoclassical economic theory, the roots of which are based on a value concept, analogous with the conservation principle of classical mechanics. Some authors argue that it is this value concept combined with the panacea of technological progress, which allows neoclassical economic theory to believe in unlimited economic growth.

Idea Of God

Chapter 2 speaks of how the idea of God works like a value concept, purging notions of worth that fail to cohere. Love, truth, and beauty fuse in the idea of God. Violence, cruelty, and deceit are purged. Pursuing the logic of perfection, we look to the idea of a perfect being, argued as a matter of theory by Plato. The Torah goes a step further, suppressing the myths of fractious and priapic gods. Justice is indissoluble from God’s identity. Grace and love become guides for our moral aspirations. Pursuing the idea of God’s goodness, we consider the binding of Isaac. Where sacrifice might have seemed the paradigm of piety, or arbitrary commands might seek to set God beyond mere goodness, I see a turning point: Abraham must choose between presuming that the highest devotion demands sacrifice of any lesser love, and the recognition that God’s absoluteness rests in goodness.

Value Concept

In this paper, we present an approach to model and retrieve nuanced information (i.e. uncertain, fuzzy and incomplete information). The particularities of the model we propose are: • the introduction of the nuanced value concept to distinguish between a value (ex: young) and a nuance which is a complement on value and either expresses uncertainty (e.g. probably, …) or linguistic quantifiers/modifiers (e.g. very, often,…). • the possibility to represent aggregate attributes (i.e. attribute composed with a set of attributes) and to generate their values from nuanced value of the component attributes. • the advantage to define nuanced domain which is the set of all possible associations value/nuance for an attribute. We will show that a nuanced domain is an extension of the linguistic variable notion introduced by Zadeh. • the use of: (i) the fuzzy thesaurus concept to constraint values of discret attributes; (ii) an associated grammar of Chomsky to generate automatically the characteristic functions of the thesaurus terms. An interactive and progressive process is proposed to retrieve information taking into account fuzzy thesaurus and nuanced information. These propositions are implemented into FIRMS system that we realize in Smalltalk language.
