The Revolution

The book “Leading the Revolution”, by Gary Hamel, brings important contributions to innovation studies when associated with the strategy. The author states that we are on the threshold of revolution era in which traditional forms of performance’ search for organizations no longer work. The milestone of this new era, according to Gary Hamel, is the radical innovation, whose most important feature is making difference for the customer, creating value for the organization and preparing it for the future, through changing its business model, if necessary. This paperwork, besides discussing some of Gary Hamel’s works, “Leading the Revolution”, in particular, investigates the influence of this book in other authors’ work, through bibliometric techniques. We have identified four approaches adopted by authors that use “Leading the Revolution” as a reference: change management; entrepreneurship; strategy and competitiveness and innovation. This work provides an analysis of the impact of “Leading the Revolution” and brings ways for the use of Hamel's theory in future studies of innovation and strategy.

The Way

The world is changing at an unprecedented rate. In such a situation, we need to understand the nature of the change and to make predictions about the way in which it might affect systems of interest; often we may also wish to understand what might be done to mitigate the predicted effects. In ecology, we usually make such predictions (or forecasts) by making use of mathematical models that describe the system and projecting them into the future, under changed conditions. Approaches emphasizing the desirability of simple models with analytical tractability and those that use assumed causal relationships derived statistically from data currently dominate ecological modelling. Although such models are excellent at describing the way in which a system has behaved, they are poor at predicting its future state, especially in novel conditions. In order to address questions about the impact of environmental change, and to understand what, if any, action might be taken to ameliorate it, ecologists need to develop the ability to project models into novel, future conditions. This will require the development of models based on understanding the processes that result in a system behaving the way it does, rather than relying on a description of the system, as a whole, remaining valid indefinitely.

The Impact

E-governance is becoming a phenomenon that is catching the attention of government as well as the citizens across the world. Lately, the governments of almost all the countries of the world made huge investments in implementation of e-government projects including India. There have been a number of centre- and state-level projects launched in the recent years. Hence, it becomes all the more important to assess the impact and viability of such projects. A number of studies have been undertaken in this area. It is observed that most of the studies in this field have focused on exploring e-governance service delivery dimensions in government-to-citizen (G2C) context; however, a few studies are carried out in government-to-business (G2B) context. Hence, the present study is an attempt to bridge this gap. The study aims to explore e-governance service delivery dimensions as perceived by the employees of Registrar of Companies (ROC), North Region. Ninety employees of ROCs were surveyed to know about their perception about the pioneer e-government project named Ministry of Corporate Affairs of 21st Century (MCA21) launched in 2006. Results of the study identified four dimensions as perceived important by the employees. To improve the services provided by the employees to the users, it would be useful to be aware of these dimensions in the future.

Homophobia has been an issue of concern in the world of sport for decades. It has had a negative impact on the world of athletes, coaches, and sport psychology consultants. Both heterosexuals and homosexuals are affected. Homophobia has kept some from striving for excellence while interfering with and hindering some who pursued success in sport. Specialists in sport psychology who claim to care about the development of human potential in sport must be concerned about the impact of homophobia. An honest look at attitudes, beliefs, and values is a necessary step forward if change is to occur. A move in the direction of healthy acceptance of differing sexual preferences is suggested, along with an effective philosophy for doing so. A wish list for the future is included.

Kajian masa depan merupakan satu disiplin ilmu yang menjelaskan bahawa masa depan merupakan satu objek kajian dengan mengambil kira masa kini adalah inti pati permulaan melalui proses mengenal pasti dan memahami fenomena dan proses perubahan yang berlaku pada masa kini yang berlanjutan sehingga masa depan. Perkara ini dihuraikan melalui metode kajian analisis kandungan teks dengan memfokuskan perbincangan pemikiran Barat dan Muslim, iaitu Alvin Toffler dan Ziauddin Sardar. Hasil kajian awal mendapati kerangka konseptual kajian futuristik Barat membangunkan kesedaran terhadap impak kuasa ejen perubahan masa kini, iaitu sains dan teknologi yang menghasilkan tekanan dalaman, kecelaruan, kekeliruan dan kejutan. Alternatif kajian masa depan Islam pula menawarkan strategi futuristik dengan pengamalan saripati Sistem Hierarki Kesedaran, iaitu Tazkiyah sebagai penjanaan kesedaran yang merangkumi kesedaran diri, masyarakat dan manusia global. Syariah menjadi asas mekanisme dalam Projek Umran dan proses ijtihad Sistem Warrd bagi pembangunan tamadun Islam pada masa depan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan cabaran masa depan perlu ditangani dengan kaedah penyelesaian yang berupaya membentuk nilai kebersamaan dalam peradaban manusia.The purpose of this paper is discussing the futuristic studies in accordance to the Western thought and how Islamic perspective provides the alternative for the future of human civilization. A future study is one of the disciplines which explains the future as an object to be studied and the present is the beginning to identify the phenomenon and its current change by the future. This has been done through contextual analysis with the primary focus on the Western and Muslim prominent thinkers who are Alvin Toffler and Ziauddin Sardar. The early findings showed that the Western thought of future studies develops the awareness on the impact of science and technology on human development which causes pressure, disorder, confusion and future shock. The Islamic alternative future studies offer the strategy with the system of consciousness, namely Tazkiyah which includes the consciousness of self, society and global mankind. Syariah becomes the main method for the Umran project and ijtihad for the development of Muslim civilization in the future. The finding shows that the challenge for the future needs to be tackled using ways that are able to form common values for human civilization.

Purpose – The past three decades have seen the transformation of manufacturing involving its global dispersion and fragmentation. However, a number of recent developments appear to suggest that manufacturing may be entering a new era of flux that will impact the configuration of production around the globe. The purpose of this paper is to address the major emerging themes that may shape this configuration and concludes that most of them are still in their initial stages and are not likely to create a radical shift in the next few years in how manufacturing is configured around the world. These themes were presented in a special session on “Manufacturing in the World – Where Next?” at the 2013 EurOMA Conference in Dublin, Ireland. Design/methodology/approach – The paper provides a series of perspectives on some key considerations pertaining to the future of manufacturing. An evaluation of their likely impact is offered and insights for the future of manufacturing are presented. Findings – The importance of a focus on the extended manufacturing network is established. The need for customer engagement and a forward looking approach that extends to the immediate customer and beyond emerges as a consistent feature across the different perspectives presented in the paper. There is both the potential and need for the adoption of innovative business models on the part of manufacturers. Originality/value – The paper presents in-depth perspectives from scholars in the field of manufacturing on the changing landscape of manufacturing. These perspectives culminate in a series of insights on the future of global manufacturing that inform future research agendas and help practitioners in formulating their manufacturing strategies.
