Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Many of our interactions in the twenty-first century - both good
and bad - take place by means of institutions, technology, and
artefacts. We inhabit a world of implements, instruments, devices,
systems, gadgets, and infrastructures. Technology is not only
something that we make, but is also something that in many ways
makes us. The discipline of ethics must take this constitutive
feature of institutions and technology into account; thus, ethics
must in turn be embedded in our institutions and technology. The
contributors to this book argue that the methodology of 'designing
in ethics' - addressing and resolving the issues raised by
technology through the use of appropriate technological design - is
the way to achieve this integration. They apply their original
methodology to a wide range of institutions and technologies, using
case studies from the fields of healthcare, media and security.
Their volume will be important for philosophical practitioners and
theorists alike.

Turn team members into innovators Most organizations approach
innovation as if it were a sideline activity. Every so often
employees are sent to "Brainstorm Island": an off-site replete with
trendy lectures, creative workshops, and overenthusiastic
facilitators. But once they return, it's back to business as usual.
Innovation experts Paddy Miller and Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg
suggest a better approach. They recommend that leaders at all
levels become "innovation architects," creating an ecosystem in
which people engage in key innovation behaviors as part of their
daily work. In short, this book is about getting to a state of
"innovation as usual," where regular employees--in jobs like
finance, marketing, sales, or operations--make innovation happen in
a way that's both systemic and sustainable. Instead of organizing
brainstorming sessions, idea jams, and off-sites that rarely result
in success, leaders should guide their people in what the authors
call the "5 + 1 keystone behaviors" of innovation: focus, connect,
tweak, select, stealthstorm, (and the + 1) persist: * Focus beats
freedom: Direct people to look only for ideas that matter to the
business * Insight comes from the outside: Urge people to connect
to new worlds * First ideas are flawed: Challenge people to tweak
and reframe their initial ideas * Most ideas are bad ideas: Guide
people to select the best ideas and discard the rest *
Stealthstorming rules: Help people navigate the politics of
innovation * Creativity is a choice: Motivate everyone to persist
in the five keystone behaviors Using examples from a wide range of
companies such as Pfizer, Index Ventures, Lonza, Go Travel,
Prehype, DSM, and others, Innovation as Usual lights the way toward
embedding creativity in the DNA of the workplace. So cancel that
off-site. Instead, read Innovation as Usual--and put innovation at
the core of your business.
