The Future of Creative Work provides a unique overview of the
changing nature of creative work, examining how digital
developments and the rise of intangible capital are causing an
upheaval in the social institutions of work. It offers a profound
insight into how this technological and social evolution will
affect creative professions. Expert international contributors
explore how robotics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, global
digital platforms and autonomous systems will shape the design,
production and consumption of culture. Taking a multidisciplinary
approach incorporating creative industries studies, business,
education and economics, the book analyses the technological
drivers of disruption in the world of creative work. Chapters
reveal how these changes will create new axes of power and
inequality in the global sphere of creative work, predicting that
conventional creative professions will be challenged and different
species of creative work will evolve as a result. By charting the
impact of digital and technological developments, The Future of
Creative Work challenges traditional views of creative work,
careers and education. This book will be a valuable resource for
students and researchers undertaking creative industries studies.
Its discussion of the application of creative careers across the
economy will also be beneficial for scholars and practitioners
interested in business, economics, and advertising and marketing
studies.
Pasture management in South Africa covers all major aspects of
pasture production and management. Particular strengths are species
selection, pasture establishment, fertilizer, grazing and forage
management, and livestock related aspects of nutrient
supplementation and feed budgeting. Pasture fertilizer practice is
dealt with comprehensively. The range of regions and topics should
make the title useful to students and practitioners beyond South
Africa's borders.
"More than anything else technology creates our world. It creates
our wealth, our economy, our very way of being," says W. Brian
Arthur. Yet despite technology's irrefutable importance in our
daily lives, until now its major questions have gone unanswered.
Where do new technologies come from? What constitutes innovation,
and how is it achieved? Does technology, like biological life,
evolve? In this groundbreaking work, pioneering technology thinker
and economist W. Brian Arthur answers these questions and more,
setting forth a boldly original way of thinking about technology.
"The Nature of Technology "is an elegant and powerful theory of
technology's origins and evolution. Achieving for the development
of technology what Thomas Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific
Revolutions "did for scientific progress, Arthur explains how
transformative new technologies arise and how innovation really
works. Drawing on a wealth of examples, from historical inventions
to the high-tech wonders of today, Arthur takes us on a
mind-opening journey that will change the way we think about
technology and how it structures our lives. "The Nature of
Technology "is a classic for our times.
