Le “Must-Read” The Review of the Future of Management T o w a r d s N° 27 A u g m e n t e d M a n a g e m e n t & READ Bilingual document (US, FR) Monthly quote “Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.” April Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), English writer 2013 Why this review ? This is your monthly Must-Read on the future of management and the world of work. Sign up to receive this free review The «perfect storm» which shaped evolution of the world of work - generated by sea changes in technologies, economy, society, governance in all its forms - is forcing Management to change. In order not to be submerged, the manager has to be «augmented», he has to use and master new tools and new knowledge at his disposal. All executives face this challenge. This review is our way to help you. It delivers to you the summary of the best articles we found during the last month on these changes. The Boostzone Institute aims to become your reference «curator», ie to select and enhance the information for you. Therefore any comment helping us to improve it is more than welcome.

The modern female eunuch Government Executive, John Kamensky, April 15, 2013 The Atlantic, Kirsten Kukula & Richard Wassersug April 1, 2013 “In the modern world the most empowered negotiator on the planet is the U.S. Secretary of State. It may be more than a coincidence that three of the four most recent individuals to occupy that role have been women: Madeleine Albright; Condoleeza Rice; and Hillary Clinton. These women have filled a post that would have commonly been held by eunuchs in the Byzantine, Ottoman, and Chinese empires.” Corporate reporting needs a reboot “Does it make any sense for the government to think long term? NASA developed a 200-year strategic plan, at one point. They engaged futurists and science fiction writers to help develop a plan for interplanetary exploration. Maybe it makes sense for NASA, but what about other agencies?” Harvard Business Review, Paul Druckman April 17, 2013 “The common thread is that today’s model of capitalism overemphasizes short-term financial data and neglects information that gets at the true sources of sustainable value creation — things like innovation, brand equity, customer loyalty, and key stakeholder relationships. Corporate reporting today emphasizes compliance, boilerplate and legalese. As a result, we have a massive glut of filings, press releases, analyst reports and articles focused on financial data.” 2 Toward Augmented Manager To get more hours out of your day, look at something awesome Quartz, Susan H. Greenberg, April 15, 2013 Selon Gartner, seuls 10 % des déploiements de réseaux sociaux sont réussis Le Monde Informatique, Jean Elyan avec IDG NS 3 avril 2013 « Selon la société d’études Gartner, alors que les technologies de réseautage social sont employées par 70 % des entreprises, seuls 10 % parviennent à les utiliser correctement, la plupart ayant plus une approche « je livre et je prie pour que tout se passe bien ». Handwritten notes are a rare commodity. They’re also more important than ever Harvard Business Review, John Coleman, April 5, 2013 “If you’re feeling pressed for time, you’re not alone. Surveys show most working Americans feel that way. But what if there were a way to expand those precious minutes and hours? Research suggests there may be one: Elicit a sense of awe.” “It may seem nostalgic, but I still believe there’s room for the handwritten note in personal and professional communication. They cost something, mean something, and have permanence in a way emails and text messages don’t. They let the people in our lives know we appreciate them enough to do something as archaic as pausing for 15 minutes to put pen to paper in an attempt to connect and sustain a relationship with them.” © Boostzone Institute 2013 Fenixs Boostzone SARL - 24/28 rue de la Pépinière 75008 Paris - Tél. +33 (0)6 77 11 34 48 - www.boostzone.fr Customized competitive intelligence on demand - Veille personnalisée sur demande Le “Must-Read” T o w a r d s & The Review of Curated Online Content A u g m e n t e d READ M a n a g e m e n t N°27 - April 2013 * Click on the titles to view the documents Economic Paradigm Changes La rigueur due à… une erreur sur Excel ? Europe 1, Gaétan Supertino avec agences, 18 avril 2013 Bitcoin is just the poster currency for a growing movement of alternative tender Quartz, Scott Smith, April 10, 2013 “Bitcoin has jumped from a technical curiosity to “mainstream” financial news. It has become an object of economic escapism—but the kind you can’t escape from. Whether it continues to grow as a phenomenon has yet to be seen, but the underlying curiosity tells us that there is growing skepticism about global financial systems’ long-term viability, and a correlated grassroots interest in returning to smaller scale, offline, more locally-focused systems of exchange.” China local authority debt ‘out of control’ « Une querelle entre économistes de renom fait rage depuis une semaine au sujet d’une influente étude publiée en 2010. Signée Carmen Reinhart et Kenneth Rogoff, économistes de Harvard les plus fréquemment citées par les partisans de l’austérité aux États-Unis, en Grande-Bretagne et dans l’Union européenne, elle se serait en réalité construite sur une erreur de calcul et une mauvaise utilisation du célèbre tableur. On vous explique. » CNN, Simon Rabinovitch, April 17, 2013 “A senior Chinese auditor has warned that local government debt is «out of control» and could spark a bigger financial crisis than the US housing market crash.” Social Paradigm Changes Mathematicians predict the future with data from the past Wired, Klint Finley, April 10, 2013 Basic Income, a new human right Basic Income Europe, You Tube Video, March 28, 2013 “Basic income or citizen’s income is a proposed system of social security that regularly provides each citizen with a sum of money unconditionally. In contrast to income redistribution between nations themselves, the phrase basic income defines payments to individuals rather than households, groups, or nations, in order to provide for individual basic human needs. Except for citizenship, a basic income is entirely unconditional. Furthermore, there is no means test or impact as a result of other income; the richest as well as the poorest citizens would receive it.” How the decline of the traditional workplace is changing our cities “Turchin — a professor at the University of Connecticut — is the driving force behind a field called “cliodynamics,” where scientists and mathematicians analyze history in the hopes of finding patterns they can then use to predict the future. It’s named after Clio, the Greek muse of history.” The Atlantic, Emily Badger, April 19, 2013 “We normally talk about all of this as a revolution in technology, or in the nature of work itself. But something else also happens when technology enables people to change where they work and how they use time: The environment around us needs to respond, too.” © Boostzone Institute 2013 Fenixs Boostzone SARL - 24/28 rue de la Pépinière 75008 Paris - Tél. +33 (0)6 77 11 34 48 - www.boostzone.fr Customized competitive intelligence on demand - Veille personnalisée sur demande 3 Le “Must-Read” T o w a r d s & The Review of Curated Online Content A u g m e n t e d M a n a g e m e n t READ N°27 - April 2013 * Click on the titles to view the documents Governance Paradigm Changes Géopolitique du crime organisé Grenoble ESC, Jean-François Gayraud, 2 avril 2013 La novlangue Européenne ou la subversion du sens comme outil stratégique Alliance Géostratégique, Michel Ruch, 22 mars 2013 « Dans toutes les écoles de commerce, devrait exister un enseignement de criminologie. Il faut éveiller les étudiants à ces dures réalités, avant qu’ils ne soient confrontés à ce monde cruel, impitoyable et cynique. Faire oeuvre de prévention en sensibilisant les jeunes générations de décideurs aux logiques et méthodes du crime organisé et de la criminalité en col blanc me paraît être une exigence de premier plan. » Chinese president says BRICS cooperation benefits world economy Xinhua, An, March 19, 2013 Xi Jinping: “Cooperation among BRICS countries can help build a more balanced world economy, improve global economic governance and promote democracy in international relations” « On observe par exemple que la rhétorique européiste fait un usage intensif des mots « stabilisation » et « stabilité » (de la zone Euro) dans un contexte d’ instabilité endogène produite par la dérégulation instituée de la finance et de l’économie ; ou le couplage automatisé des mots « stabilité-et-croissance » dans un contexte de dégradation et de récession ; ou l’expression absurde de « croissance négative » pour éviter le mot « récession » ; ou le stéréotype « politiques-de-convergence » en pleine divergence des économies en Europe. » Technology Futures « La science bute sur trois énigmes majeures » Will we ever… communicate telepathically? BBC, Ed Yong, April 5, 2013 Le Journal du Dimanche, 16 mars 2013 « Il est un des plus grands mathématiciens du siècle. Âgé de 69 ans, il a quitté l’URSS en 1974 et travaille actuellement entre la France (à l’Institut des hautes études scientifiques de Bures-sur-Yvette) et les ÉtatsUnis (New York). Titulaire de nombreux prix, notamment du prix Abel en 2009, l’équivalent du Nobel des maths, ce savant franco-russe touche-à-tout porte un regard curieux sur l’état des sciences, des maths à la physique en passant par la biologie. Pour le JDD, Misha Gromov explique «les trois principales énigmes» de la science actuelle : l’univers, la vie et l’esprit humain… » Next nature saves old nature Next Nature, Van Mensvoort, April 7, 2013 “Synthetic biology is the technology of designing and building biological devices from scratch. It goes beyond tinkering with existing genomes of organisms by adding one or two extra genes. Researcher can already chemically synthesise very large sections of DNA, which that allows them to engineer biological systems.” “There’s tantalising evidence that technology could one day allow us to transmit thoughts telepathically between two brains. The question is how far can we go?” © Boostzone Institute 2013 Fenixs Boostzone SARL - 24/28 rue de la Pépinière 75008 Paris - Tél. +33 (0)6 77 11 34 48 - www.boostzone.fr Customized competitive intelligence on demand - Veille personnalisée sur demande 4 Le “Must-Read” T o w a r d s & The Review of Curated Online Content A u g m e n t e d READ M a n a g e m e n t N°27 - April 2013 * Click on the titles to view the documents Demographic Changes Why China is finally abandoning its one child policy Forbes, Richard Lehmann, March 28, 2013 Chômage : la fiction des emplois vacants Nouvel Obs, Veronique Radier 26 mars 2013 Jean-Louis Zanda, chercheur à Pôle Emploi: «Avec la montée du chômage, je ne pensais plus entendre ce genre de discours sur les difficultés de recrutement, qui émane des fédérations professionnelles.» Car il en a déjà démonté les ressorts dans une étude publiée en 2010. «Cette idée repose sur un malentendu : un emploi vacant, c’est juste un recruteur qui exprime un besoin à un instant donné et non un poste bien défini durablement à pourvoir.» Critical issue: Will the fertility rate in the developed world continue to increase? “One of the first announcements by the new administration taking charge in China this month may lead to the phasing out of the one child policy, which has been in effect since 1979.” Ross Dawson Blog, April 8, 2013 “Developed countries around the world experienced a massive baby boom in the 1950s, which then fell dramatically to see the fertility rate fall to below the replacement rate in almost every developed country in the world. However the fertility rate has been rising in many developed countries over the last years, in contrast to the faster-than-expected decline in the fertility rate in developing countries, as shown in the chart below.” Resources Opimization Fracking: The next bubble? Salon, Brad Jacobson, April 1, 2013 Fire ice: ‘The next shale gas’ ProActive Investors, Jamie Nimmo, April 12, 2013 “Highly combustible and with a sherbet-like appearance, it is known as fire ice. Methane hydrate, a secret trapped beneath the ocean waves, is being tipped as the world’s next major energy resource.” Quatre milliards d’euros d’économies d’énergie grâce aux rénovations thermiques “Currently, natural gas remains cheap, around $3.50 per thousand cubic feet. In the short-term at least, this has been good for consumers, as it has translated into lower energy bills. But in the near-term, it has been deadly for the companies drilling for shale gas and their stakeholders, who are losing their shirts.” 20 minutes Reuters, 21 mars 2013 « En France, les 20% de logements les plus anciens engloutissent à eux seuls la moitié de l’énergie consommée par le parc immobilier, selon cette étude. L’idée de puiser dans ce gouffre de consommation n’est pas nouvelle, le Grenelle ayant fixé dès 2007 un objectif de 400.000 rénovations thermiques par an à partir de 2013. Mais seuls 120.000 logements privés et 25.000 logements sociaux bénéficient actuellement d’une rénovation énergétique performante chaque année, selon le ministère du Logement. » © Boostzone Institute 2013 Fenixs Boostzone SARL - 24/28 rue de la Pépinière 75008 Paris - Tél. +33 (0)6 77 11 34 48 - www.boostzone.fr Customized competitive intelligence on demand - Veille personnalisée sur demande 5 Le “Must-Read” T o w a r d s The Review of Curated Online Content A u g m e n t e d M a n a g e m e n t & READ N°27 - April 2013 * Click on the titles to view the documents More Notable Links - The rise of executive feminism http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2013/03/the_rise_of_executive_feminism.html - The happiest people pursue the most difficult problems http://blogs.hbr.org/kanter/2013/04/to-find-happiness-at-work-tap.html - L’Afrique doit refuser de rembourser des dettes illégitimes http://www.africadiligence.com/lafrique-doit-refuser-de-rembourser-des-dettes-illegitimes/ - Les deux entreprises les plus puissantes sont chinoises http://ow.ly/kgQcZ - Economy in pictures: have we seen the peak? http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-04-06/guest-post-economy-pictures-have-we-seen-peak - India’s frugal dynamism http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/india-s-frugal-dynamism - World poverty is shrinking rapidly, new index reveals http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/mar/17/aid-trade-reduce-acute-poverty - The bacon-wrapped economy http://ow.ly/kgQoV - Why chemotherapy that costs $70,000 in the U.S. costs $2,500 in India http://ow.ly/kgQrE 6 - What is Industry 4.0 http://ow.ly/kgQuC - How technology is slowly developing its sense of smell http://gigaom.com/2013/04/13/how-technology-is-slowly-developing-its-sense-of-smell/ - The Alibaba phenomenon http://www.startribune.com/business/199921501.html?src=news-stmp - Pour en finir avec les Digital Natives ... http://www.awt.be/web/edu/index.aspx?page=edu,fr,foc,100,129 - Unmanned drones may have their greatest impact on agriculture http://ow.ly/kgQEN - Coal use growing faster than renewables - Ouch! http://www.wfs.org/blogs/len-rosen/coal-use-growing-faster-renewables-ouch - Climate change threatens food security of urban poor http://www.rtcc.org/climate-change-threatens-food-security-of-urban-poor/ - The 10 fastest growing Megacities in the world http://www.fastcoexist.com/1681827/the-10-fastest-growing-megacities-in-the-world Les fichiers images illustrant cette revue sont tous issus du site SXC http://www.sxc.hu/ et libres de droits.
