N12. January 2012

Why is finance so complex?
Interfluidity, Steve Randy Waldman, December 26, 2011

Majors trends in the globalized world

The next industrial revolution
Innovation Excellence, Deena Stryker, December 3, 2011

Could anyone think about what would have been the idea of having access to mail in his pocket, just 15 years ago? It was an absolute nonsense The world is changing very rapidly, and as Darwin said, it is not the strongest that will survive, but the most adaptable to change. Those slides from Cochrane Associates explain why and how everybody should get ready for the next industrial revolution

As Nick Rowe, a Professor of Economics at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, asserts, finance is placebo: financial systems are sugar pills by which we collectively embolden ourselves to bear economic risk. This article written in the internet site interfluidity.com enlightens the role of opacity in the banking system: the more complexity there is, the best the bank can function; just because people are ready to accept risk they would have not consent to bear, if they had been fully informed.

New jobs for a new age

The Chronicle Herald, Brett Bundale, December 27, 2011

Forbes, Eric Jackson, December 14, 2011

Les troubles mentaux augmentent chez les salaris

Le Monde, Rmi Barroux, 17 dcembre 2011

Lors du sminaire W2S du vendredi 16 dcembre 2011 la Cantine, la prsentation From Collaborative Prosumer Capitalism to a Commons-based P2P Economy et les discussions qui ont suivi ont mis en avant la possibilit dun vritable modle conomique alternatif bas sur le peer-to-peer (P2P), qui, loin dtre une utopie pour un futur lointain, sinfiltre toujours plus dans nos pratiques quotidiennes et pourrait constituer la cl de la durabilit moyen et long terme de nos conomies et de nos socits.

Dans une tude publie en dcembre 2011, un rapport de lOCDE intitul Mal-tre au travail ? Mythes et ralits sur la sant mentale au travail souligne laugmentation des dpressions graves, des toxicomanies svres (alcool, drogue) et des troubles maniaco-dpressifs chez les salaris. La rcession, le chmage et la peur quils provoquent chez ceux qui ont conserv leur emploi expliquent en partie cette augmentation. Or, selon Karima Delli, rapporteur et dpute europenne, le stress au travail est reconnu comme un obstacle majeur la productivit.

Big Think, Megan Erickson, December 2, 2011

How to accomplish more by doing less

Harvard Business Review, Tony Schwartz, December 13, 2011

The Arab spring brings to ones face the role of Internet in a countrys rebellion, but also in a dictators repression. The same high-tech progresses enabling the creation of an iPhone also help ominous government surveillance projects. This article from Fast Company reveals a terrific side of the future of internet: 24/7 digital surveillance will become affordable for repressive regimes worldwide.

Lacte daccusation contre un Internet libre

Productivity has always been at top of the stage for economists. The more value generating is not the number of hours we spend at our office, but the energy we bring in our daily work. This blog by Tony Schwartz, the president and CEO of The Energy Project, indicates why creating a workplace that fosters a reasonable relationship between work and renewal will produce higher engagement and job satisfaction.

OWNI, Guillaume Ledit, 20 dcembre 2011

Internet and social networks

What is good fact-checking?
LAnti-conterfeinting Trade Agreement (Acta) dans lUnion europenne et le Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) aux tats-Unis sont deux textes, en cours dadoption, qui autorisent lAdministration et les entreprises intervenir sur Internet pour filtrer ou bloquer les sites souponns dencourager le piratage duvres protges par le droit dauteur, sans intervention du juge. Deux initiatives qui marquent laboutissement du lobbying intensif des industries culturelles. Cependant, et pour la premire fois, le lobbying aux intrts divergents des gants du Web (Google Amazon, Facebook,) est devenu au moins aussi puissant que celui des industries culturelles et engage la bataille en menaant de mettre des sites temporairement en berne afin de peser sur lopinion.

Mother Jones, Mac McClelland, December 21, 2011

Fact checking, clearly increasing productivity for managers, is not always an easy task. This short post reveals why in true fact-checking, literally every word of every factual statement must be traced to a primary source, whether a document or the corroborated accounts of independent experts or witnesses.

Brand and personal online reputation and influence

The era of brand imperialism is over. Long live the reputation economy!

Forbes, Anthony Johndrow, December 16, 2011

This article highlights the new role of brands in the 21st century.

You can learn anything you want on the Internet, or almost everything But there are still few chances to gain formal credit for informal learning done online. Last September, Mozilla initiated its Open badges project, to expand a technology framework making it easier to display, build and share digital learning badges meaning to recognize all kinds of skills and competencies. This article by Audrey Watters explains the success of the project, thanks to the participation of well known institutions as the Department of Labor.
