This book is a progress report on a study of leadership in the vast
network of business ecosystems associated with ARM Holdings and its
1000 plus community of partners. You have this technology next to
your body right now. The community's products power 98% of
smartphones (Apple, Samsung, HTC, MotoX, all Android), 100% of
disc-drive controllers, a third to a half--and rising fast--of all
"embedded" controllers--such as those in smart thermostats (Nest),
wearable athletic monitors (BodyMedia), portable medical devices
(pocket EKG), refrigerators, ranges, washers--and your car's GIS,
entertainment system, stability control, emergency communications,
and machine vision/advanced safety technology. What makes these
companies most interesting is the degree to which they share the
purpose of creating a sustainable, thriving community of businesses
that transform the world. They have established a cooperative ethos
among themselves that is rare in business today. They have combined
many of the traditional strengths of technology companies with
attitudes of openness characteristic of the open source software
movement. The result is a powerful hybrid style of leadership that
has enabled the community to grow and prosper, disrupting and
transforming traditional businesses and weathering the economic
storms of the past few years. This community continues to spread
its influence around the world at an increasing rate.
How many educators think they are going to change the world, only
to grow frustrated over the pace of change in a school system?
Teaching is a challenging profession and, according to Moore, it is
a career in which one often questions whether the challenges are
worth the rewards. "Teaching the Teacher" details the personal
reflections and lessons educator James Moore learned over more that
twenty years as he journeys full circle from questioning a major
life decision to feeling at peace with his career choice. Moore
emphasizes that too often teachers become caught up in a world
packed with lesson plans, parent phone calls, staff meetings, and
papers to grade and forget that they should be learning along with
their students. Beginning with the story of his first job interview
and the racial tension he encounters in the hallway as a new
teacher, Moore weaves in many anecdotes about students, colleagues,
and schools while sharing valuable lessons learned about his
career. Whether you just graduated from college or are an
experienced teacher, Moore will help you realize that there is much
more to an education than the standard curriculum covered in
schools today.
Today's marketplace is seeing radical changes in the way companies do business with one another. New partnerships and alliances are constantly being forged, the lines between industries have blurred, and it has become difficult to tell one business from another, and who's competing with whom. The Death of Competition helps managers make sense of this chaos. Using biological ecology as a metaphor, it reveals how today's business environment parallels the natural world, and how, just like organisms in nature, companies must coexist and coevolve within their own business ecosystems. Through numerous examples, he explains the radically new cooperative/competitive relationships like the one forged between IBM and Microsoft and provides a comprehensive framework businesses can use to enhance their own collaborations with their customers, suppliers, investors and communities.
Reading Scripture with Paul Ricoeur is a unique volume in which
twelve diverse contributors illuminate and analyze Paul Ricoeur's
personal religious faith and intellectual passion for Scripture.
The co-editors, Joseph A. Edelheit and James F Moore, each studied
with Ricoeur at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago
and bring the perspectives of a rabbi and of a Lutheran pastor and
theologian, respectively. This book engages topics such as
translation, biblical hermeneutics, and prophecy, as well as
specific scriptural passages: Cain and Abel, the Epistles, and a
feminist reading of Rahab. It provides both students and scholars
alike a new resource of reflections using Ricoeur's scholarship to
illuminate and model how Ricoeur read and taught.
This volume is a collection of essays written over the last ten
years within the framework of a post-Shoah Christian theology,
outlined in Christian Theology After the Shoah (University Press of
America, 1993). The essays take seriously the impact of the Shoah
and the Jewish-Christian dialogue, covering fresh approaches to
sacred texts, new visions for Jewish-Christian relations, and
giving insight into significant global issues. Through this, a
vision for the future with a theology rooted in dialogue is shaped.
Author James F. Moore contends such a theology, with a unique sense
of relationships and ethical vision, will produce a new, unified
dialogical community, professing its own theology and moral vision.
The "Midrash Group" of the Scholar's Conference on the Holocaust
and the Churches has met annually over the last decade to discuss
ways for Christians and Jews to find meaning and direction in and
from sacred texts after the Holocaust. Post Shoah Dialogues is a
sample of four different dialogue sessions of the "Midrash Group."
The idea for a Jewish-Christian dialogue on texts grew out of an
ongoing conversation between the four scholars represented in this
volume, due to the profound affect the Shoah had on the theological
thinking of both groups. The essays, focusing on texts matched from
Hebrew and Christian scriptures, allow Christians and Jews to read
the texts together in such a way as to respect the authentic
identity of each other, respect the deep questions arising from the
Shoah, and to open avenues for more dialogue.
