Invisible Engines : How Software Platforms Drive Innovation and Transform Industries
Harnessing the power of software platforms: what executives and entrepreneurs must know about how to use this technology to transform industries and how to develop the strategies that will create value and drive profits. Software platforms are the invisible engines that have created, touched, or transformed nearly every major industry for the past quarter century.They power everything from mobile phones and automobile navigation systems to search engines and web portals.They have been the source of enormous value to consumers and helped some entrepreneurs build great fortunes. And they are likely to drive change that will dwarf the business and technology revolution we have seen to this point.Invisible Engines examines the business dynamics and strategies used by firms that recognize the transformative power unleashed by this new revolution-a revolution that will change both new and old industries. The authors argue that in order to understand the successes of software platforms, we must first understand their role as a technological meeting ground where application developers and end users converge.Apple, Microsoft, and Google, for example, charge developers little or nothing for using their platforms and make most of their money from end users; Sony PlayStation and other game consoles, by contrast, subsidize users and make more money from developers, who pay royalties for access to the code they need to write games.More applications attract more users, and more users attract more applications. And more applications and more users lead to more profits. Invisible Engines explores this story through the lens of the companies that have mastered this platform-balancing act.It offers detailed studies of the personal computer, video game console, personal digital assistant, smart mobile phone, and digital media software platform industries, focusing on the business decisions made by industry players to drive profits and stay a step ahead of the competition.Shorter discussions of Internet-based software platforms provide an important glimpse into a future in which the way we buy, pay, watch, listen, learn, and communicate will change forever.An electronic version of this book is available under a Creative Commons license.

Visible Costs and Invisible Benefits : Military Procurement as Innovation Policy
This book examines the historic role of professional and demanding military customers in industrial development.Particular emphasis is paid to public procurement of military equipment as a catalyst for innovation; and the civilian commercialization of military technologies (from gunpowder and cannons to submarines, missiles and aircraft) is documented by many case illustrations that show how macro-level productivity advance has been generated.A complementary volume to Advancing Public Procurement as Industrial Policy (2010), which focused on the spillover effects of the Swedish combat aircraft, Gripen, in this book Gunnar Eliasson widens the perspective to cover product development across the Swedish defense industry, with an emphasis on regional economic development and macro-economics, inter alia through the involvement of Saab (aircraft) and Kockums (submarines) in partnership ventures in Australia, Norway and Brazil. The volume is organized into four parts. Part one examines the historical transformation of the Swedish economy over the past three centuries from agriculture and raw materials to an advanced industrial economy.Part two presents detailed case studies to illustrate the spillover effects of procurement projects and military-industrial partnerships.Part three explains the spillover phenomenon theoretically within a dynamic micro- to macro-economic perspective.Particular emphasis is placed on the empirical credibility of model-based economy-wide and dynamic cost-benefit calculations.The book concludes with a section on fostering industrial development through public procurement.The result is a book that will appeal to economists in the industrial economics and management fields; to technical, marketing and purchasing executives in business; and to policy makers in public procurement concerned with innovation and long-run industrial development.

Sustainability, Stakeholder Governance, and Corporate Social Responsibility
Scholarly interest in the areas of sustainability, stakeholder relations and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has increased considerably in recent years.In this volume, we take a step back to consider the fundamental questions that underlie and tie research across these areas together.The chapters in this volume cover a wide range of theoretical perspectives grounded in strategy, economics and sociology, employ various methodological approaches, and offer new arguments on the connections that exist between firms’ decisions relating to sustainability, CSR, and the governance of their stakeholder relations.The chapters in this volume highlight that business decisions relating to sustainability and CSR are ultimately decisions about the governance of stakeholder relations, and suggest that future work in these areas should consider more closely both the firms and their stakeholders as strategic actors driving firm decisions.

Are you invisible?
As an AI language model, I do not have a physical form, so in that sense, I am not visible. However, my responses and interactions are visible through the text on the screen or the voice coming from a speaker, so in that sense, I am not invisible. I exist as a digital entity that can communicate and interact with users, but I do not have a physical presence.

Are nerves invisible?
Nerves themselves are not invisible, as they are made up of cells and fibers that can be seen under a microscope. However, the nerves in our bodies are often not visible to the naked eye because they are located deep within our tissues and organs. Additionally, nerves are often very small and thin, making them difficult to see without the use of specialized imaging techniques. Overall, while nerves are not inherently invisible, they are often not easily visible without the appropriate tools or technology.

Agricultural Innovation for Societal Change : Towards Sustainability
Over the centuries, agriculture has developed through technological steps illustrated by various agricultural revolutions.This book describes and analyses significant agricultural changes since the mid-1960s in the context of development, innovation and adoption by revisiting resource-poor farmers in Ethiopia, Sweden and Trinidad and Tobago, and considering overall development changes up to the early 2020s.It is a platform for discussing current issues for future global food security in the context of globalization and free global trade which have influenced economic growth in many countries but also created environmental concerns and a rapid increase in the number of transnational corporations (TNCs).Sustainable food production is now a global priority and therefore ecological footprints must be reduced - this book provides examples of possible technical changes required to achieve this.Reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone is insufficient: political attention must be paid to declining biodiversity, the increasing global exploration of natural resources, demography, increased consumption, waste mountains, expanding migration and antibiotic resistance.Agribusiness TNCs will challenge national governments and international donors in both research and development, increasing competition for leadership.A gradual societal change, incorporating an understanding of biological fundamentals, is necessary for achieving sustainability and for leading us towards the next agricultural revolution.

Is there invisible fire?
No, there is no such thing as invisible fire. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces light and heat, making it visible to the human eye.
