This study of the genealogy and biotech company Ancestry analyzes the ways in which the organization has evolved over the past few years. Ancestry is difficult to categorize as a corporate entity. The company trades in servicing both “traditional” types of history (genealogical records) and, more recently, biotech-based investigation through the use of DNA sequencing. Ancestry is highly influential in the way that millions of people around the world access the past. Given this, the company’s shifts in focus are of great interest. Through considering various new elements of the way that Ancestry functions, and illustrating that this complexity is foundational to its purpose, the article suggests the company is redefining what a public historian or public historical institution might be, adding a scientific dimension to historical data and also acting to present a particular model of the past through its advertising campaigns. The article suggests that public history’s models for considering such protean organizations are in need of attention, and the complexity of such a company demonstrates new challenges and opportunities for scholars in the field.

The business is an abstraction of the way in which value is created and delivered. The concrete representation is the business model, expressed by a group of artifacts built with different languages. It serves to describe, explain, analyze, design, and evaluate the business. The set of concepts, construction rules, artifacts, and languages required to express it, are defined by a Meta-Business Model (MBM). Multiple authors have proposed different MBMs, each one with a specific motivation and objective. Some of these MBMs are widely recognized and have been applied in contexts like innovation and entrepreneurship. Due to new challenges, such as sustainability, being faced by businesses and given new ways of producing and delivering value, like the sharing economy, Novel Complex Businesses (NCBs) are emerging. NCBs are businesses characterized by circular structures made out of numerous inter-related components, and by creating value out of the product/service schema. While existing MBMs fulfill certain purposes, they do not have the expressiveness required to describe NCBs precisely enough to describe and analyze them. This paper introduces an MBM with the concepts, construction rules, and graphical notation needed to represent NCBs. We also illustrate an NCB and present the results of the validation for our MBM.

What is the Web? What makes it work? And is it dying? This paper is drawn from a talk delivered by Prof. Zittrain to the Royal Society Discussion Meeting ‘Web science: a new frontier’ in September 2010. It covers key questions about the way the Web works, and how an understanding of its past can help those theorizing about the future. The original Web allowed users to display and send information from their individual computers, and organized the resources of the Internet with uniform resource locators. In the 20 years since then, the Web has evolved. These new challenges require a return to the spirit of the early Web, exploiting the power of the Web’s users and its distributed nature to overcome the commercial and geopolitical forces at play. The future of the Web rests in projects that preserve its spirit, and in the Web science that helps make them possible.

The sharing economy is changing the way customers perceive businesses and making traditional companies face new challenges. Many outmoded companies have decided to embrace these changes either by creating their own sharing platforms or by acquiring an already existing one. This paper is an initial attempt to shed light on the reasons behind mergers and acquisitions involving at least one sharing platform. We conduct an in-depth analysis of M&As over the period 2012–2019 with a sample of 108 operations, covering countries all around the world. Our analysis reveals how important and commonplace these operations are becoming, and how widely spread sharing platforms are. The paper also shows how traditional companies are dealing with these new competitors and how sharing companies need the specific knowledge provided by established companies with outmoded approaches.

Na ozemlju Republike Slovenije je marca 2015 kot nova mednarodna organizacija začel delovati Natov center odličnosti za gorsko bojevanje. Institucija z ustanovitvijo, akreditacijo in aktivacijo prinaša vrsto izzivov in priložnosti, ki jih lahko zainteresirane strani razvijajo in izkoriščajo. Interesi udeležencev so različni, zato Natov center odličnosti za gorsko bojevanje že v začetni fazi poskuša opredeljevati priložnosti, ki temeljijo na potrebah sodelujočih držav. Za doseganje želene učinkovitosti in kakovosti bo treba upoštevati številne dejavnike, ki opredeljujejo novo institucijo. Obsežen seznam možnosti za razvoj gorskega bojevanja zahteva oblikovanje vsebinskega težišča, na katerega se bo center osredotočal v prihodnje. NATO Mountain Warfare Centre of Excellence began its operation in March 2015 as a new international organisation in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia. Its establishment, accreditation and finally its activation, bring a number of new challenges and opportunities, which could be developed and exploited by stakeholders and other interested parties. Interests of participants vary; therefore NATO Mountain Warfare Centre of Excellence tries to focus in the very beginning on the opportunities based on the expressed needs and requests. In order to achieve the desired effectiveness and quality, a series of factors defining the new institution will have to be taken into account. A wide range of possible mountain warfare development options calls for the creation of a substantive centre of gravity, which will be the Centre’s focus in the future.

“Class is part of the meaninglessness of reality,” says Lacan. An abundance of narratives concerning post-communist Romanian camps may be found. In a sense, Derrida’s essay on education suggests that the goal of the artist’s social comment, given that art is interchangeable with a lack of joy. The characteristic theme of educator’s model of roles camp is a self-sufficient reality, leading to depression and anxiety. But the subject is contextualized into a cultural Marxism that includes art as a whole. Popescu examines the teacher’s camp; in The Crying of Lot, however, he denies the education system’s fault. In this article, we determine the factors, leading to depression and anxiety during the current shutdown of schools in permanenting constructional underestimation of teacher´s formation. Maybe, the current situation is better in the way it was than it was. The future will tell.

The monograph is devoted to the phenomenon as narrative, and all that it involves. The study is divided into five parts. The first dealt with the notion of narrative and its characteristics. Second, we study the way of life of the societies that practiced it. The third tells the story of societies that lost the narrative, but about the current situation. The fourth examines the causes of its decline and almost final loss. And fifth is building the assumption that awaits man in the future - the revival of the discourse or something else. Is intended for specialists in different spheres of humanitarian knowledge and to a wider audience.
