The triple stimulation of geography (lakes and mountains), environmental problems and border influences could justify the claim of a regional architecture in the Northern Alps. Especially since the production is significant, driven by economic dynamics. But the question posed by critical regionalism is that of an architecture of resistance. There is no architecture in the Savoie countries that can be said to be regionalist according to this formulation opposing the local to the universal. And yet, there is a form of non-conceptualized resistance: because of the place, the climate, the architectural heritage, including the twentieth century. Indeed by its specific programs, the mountain has been a place for architectural and technical experiences. Today these buildings are markers of the territory fully participating in alpine identity. For the inhabitants, a particular cultural identity is built around the myth of mountain life updated. It is constituted around the outdoor, a high-tech industry, an international mobility (Geneva airport), an exceptional biodiversity… This idealization of the mountain has been in resistance to the dominant discourse carried by a declining company. Contemporary architectural production is claimed by the new populations as a way of living the mountain, connected to the world but differentiating them from the inhabitants of the “plain”. What has been implemented architecturally is very in tune with the current political discourse of “at the same time”: industry and nature, comfort and sobriety, technicality and tradition, universal and local. So even the modern break is being digested as an assumed alpine marker – at the same time –.

In recent years, the formation of strategic alliances has become an increasingly common trend among developing countries around the world. In spite of this, the numerous attempts to comprehensively review the research on the correlation between these strategic alliances and stock prices over the years have, by and large, limited their discussion to how the stock price of a corporation responds to its announcement that it is forming a strategic alliance. Only a few studies have, however, discussed the announcement's indirect impact on the stock prices of investing companies that have entered into such strategic alliances. It is for this reason that we conduct an event study and develop an empirical model to measure that indirect impact on the stock prices of investing companies engaging in strategic alliances with Taiwan's high-tech industry from 1998 to 2002, while also discussing the market's different responses in their stock prices according to various industrial types that have been used to classify these investing companies.

Nowadays global economic and high-tech development is progressing. Human society is facing a health pandemic that is leading to economic stagnation and financial losses globally. Tourism industry with its accompanying cluster environment is one of the most economically affected. However, the industry that continues to develop and present its achievements and innovations is in the field of information technology. High-tech industry offers resources and services that are unique. In the field of tourist services, the most popular innovations are chatbots and kiosks. The aim of the paper is to present the attitudes of the stakeholders for the implementation of innovations at the local level and the trends after the restart of the world economy.

This study focuses on start-up entrepreneurs on the move—in coordination with an array of other actors—as they weave and are woven into transnational networks. Central to this study is a shift from activity to mobility systems. Building on technical communication scholarship, the frame integrates actor networks and activity theory knotworks. Disrupting workplace and national container models (methodological nationalism), the analysis is grounded in a study of Israeli start-up entrepreneurs. Dubbed the Start-Up Nation, Israel contains more start-ups per capita than any other country in the world, with its high-tech industry made up of a dense ecosystem of conferences, accelerators, meetups, social media, and coworking spaces. Tracing actants’ trajectories across this social field, the author argues for a conceptualization of entrepreneurs as knotworkers who mobilize genres, modes, languages, and spaces.

I’ve taken a look at the food assessment of the goods and the goods of the national population, the hour of the shipboard examination of the goods. The article analyzes the procedure for showing indicators of the most appropriate legislation and legal documents for conducting forensic expert examinations. It is completed on the basis of the power assessment in general and exclusively for the robotic environment. I took a look at the food, as I often took a position before the forensic experts in third-party robots with the indicated availability of goods, I brought up the need for more detailed examination and the need for more detailed analysis of the table. There are different methods for evaluating live indicators and for changing their minds and needing to conduct a forensic expert examination of valuations for national goods. The analysis of the nutrition of old power standards and the need to reserve new ones has been analyzed, so as to present to the minds of the world. Respect is respected for the technical and technical minds of the high-tech industry according to the established standards of product specifications and the hour of shipboard examination of goods. The important thing is that important goods are reached, by way of identification of which goods and standards are available and to technical standards of technology.

Across the world, cities and regions have wasted trillions of dollars blindly copying the Silicon Valley model of growth creation. We have lived with this system for decades, and the result is clear: a small number of regions and cities are at the top of the high-tech industry, but many more are fighting a losing battle to retain economic dynamism. But, as this books details, there are other models for innovation-based growth that don’t rely on a flourishing high-tech industry. Breznitz argues that the purveyors of the dominant ideas on innovation have a feeble understanding of the big picture on global production and innovation. They conflate innovation with invention and suffer from techno-fetishism. In their devotion to start-ups, they refuse to admit that the real obstacle to growth for most cities is the overwhelming power of the real hubs, which siphon up vast amounts of talent and money. Communities waste time, money, and energy pursuing this road to nowhere. Instead, Breznitz proposes that communities focus on where they fit within the four stages in the global production process. Success lies in understanding the changed structure of the global system of production and then using those insights to enable communities to recognize their own advantages, which in turn allows to them to foster surprising forms of specialized innovation. All localities have certain advantages relative to at least one stage of the global production process, and the trick is in recognizing it.

For nearly three decades, English has been the lingua franca of cross-border business, yet studies on global language strategies have been scarce. Providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the high-tech giant Rakuten in the five years following its English mandate, this book explores how language shapes the ways in which employees in global organizations communicate and negotiate linguistic and cultural differences. Drawing on 650 interviews conducted across Rakuten's locations around the world, the book argues that an organization's lingua franca is the catalyst by which all employees become some kind of “expat”—detached from their native tongue or culture. Demonstrating that language can serve as the conduit for an unfamiliar culture, often in unexpected ways, the book uncovers how all organizations might integrate language effectively to tap into the promise of globalization.
