Brilliant Leadership : Unlocking the Power of Innovation-Communication
The need for restructuring and transforming business practices for the benefit of humanity and the environment is a major theme of this book.Interactivity and connectedness of people and things/data is transforming everything.Many organizations, even the traditional ones, have entered a process of transformation through innovation and rethinking their business models, which affects the way leaders communicate, lead, and co-create. Brilliant leadership is a new intellectual framework to guide strategists, gamechangers, senior executives, and aspiring leaders.This new framework is based on our current work on leadership development and focuses on what it means to become a brilliant leader.Brilliant leaders have an authentic personality, the willingness to engage people/teams, inspire others, facilitate (co-)innovation, and commit to making significant contributions (humanity, environment, ethics), and be relevant.The framework is also consistent with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education, fostering innovation, and developing a lifelong learning mindset. Each chapter of the book is more than a collection of ideas.It is a part of the new intellectual framework that describes ‘Brilliant Leadership’.Each chapter includes a distinct contribution by experts and that at the same time is connected to other chapters through the book’s organizing schema, paralleling how the different facets of leadership are inseparable from one another.Together, the chapters present a holistic view of what it means to become a brilliant leader in the transformative digital age.The framework demonstrates this connectivity through a theoretical framework (our model) and a plan (book chapters) of how to approach the specific research inquiry, the tenets of brilliant leadership. What makes this new edition unique? The book is aimed at providing practical strategies and becoming a source of inspiration for what it means to have a new leadership mindset - a brilliant leader who understands how to communicate with empathy and authenticity, engage and inspire others, shift responsibility into shared-commitment, and spark learning in a purpose-driven innovation culture.

Innovation in Energy Security and Long-Term Energy Efficiency
The sustainable development of our planet depends on the use of energy. The growing population of the world inevitably causes an increase in the demand for energy, which, on the one hand, threatens the potential for shortages of energy supply, and, on the other hand, causes the deterioration of the environment.Therefore, our task is to reduce this demand through different innovative solutions (i.e., both technological and social). Social marketing and economic policies can also play a role in affecting the behavior of households and companies, by causing behavioral change oriented to energy stewardship, and an overall switch to renewable energy resources. This book provides a platform for the exchange of a wide range of ideas, which, ultimately, would facilitate the driving of societies to long-term energy efficiency.

Communication Power
We live in the midst of a revolution in communication technologies that affects the way in which people feel, think, and behave.The media have become the space where power strategies are played out.In the current technological context mass communication goes beyond traditional media and includes the Internet and mobile communication.In this wide-ranging and powerful book, Manuel Castells analyses the transformation of the global media industry by this revolution in communication technologies.He argues that a new communication system, mass self-communication, has emerged, and power relationships have been profoundly modified by the emergence of this new communication environment.Created in the commons of the Internet this communication can be locally based, but globally connected.It is built through messaging, social networks sites, and blogging, and is now being used by the millions around the world who have access to the Internet. Drawing on a wide range of social and psychological theories, Castells presents original research on political processes and social movements.He applies this analysis to numerous recent events--the misinformation of the American public on the Iraq War, the global environmental movement to prevent climate change, the control of information in China and Russia, Barak Obama's internet-based presidential campaigns, and (in this new edition) responses to recent political and economic crises such as the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement.On the basis of these case studies he proposes a new theory of power in the information age based on the management of communication networksJustly celebrated for his analysis of the network society, Castells here builds on that work, offering a well grounded and immensely challenging picture of communication and power in the 21st century.This is a book for anyone who wants to understand the dynamics and character of the modern world.

What are power and efficiency?
Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, and it is measured in watts. It represents the ability to exert force or to perform work. Efficiency, on the other hand, is a measure of how well a system or process uses energy or resources to accomplish a task. It is the ratio of useful output to total input, and it indicates how effectively energy is being converted into useful work. In summary, power is the capacity to do work, while efficiency is the measure of how well that work is being done.
-
How do you calculate power and efficiency?
Power is calculated by dividing the work done by the time it takes to do that work, or by multiplying force by velocity. Efficiency is calculated by dividing the useful output of energy or work by the total input of energy or work. In other words, efficiency is the ratio of output to input. Both power and efficiency are important measures in determining the effectiveness and performance of a system or machine.
-
What is the relationship between power and efficiency?
Power and efficiency are closely related in the context of energy usage. Power refers to the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, while efficiency measures how well energy is converted into useful work. In general, higher power output does not necessarily mean higher efficiency, as a system can be powerful but inefficient if it wastes a lot of energy. On the other hand, a system can be efficient but not very powerful if it can convert a small amount of energy into useful work. Therefore, the relationship between power and efficiency is that they are both important factors to consider when evaluating the performance of an energy system.

Is there a power supply with 100% efficiency?
No, there is no power supply with 100% efficiency. According to the laws of thermodynamics, it is impossible to achieve 100% efficiency in any system. In practical terms, power supplies typically have efficiencies ranging from 70% to 95%, with higher efficiency models being more expensive. Designing a power supply with 100% efficiency would require overcoming fundamental physical limitations, making it unattainable in reality.

Smart Green World? : Making Digitalization Work for Sustainability
In this book, Steffen Lange and Tilman Santarius investigate how digitalization influences environmental and social sustainability.The information revolution is currently changing the daily lives of billions of people worldwide.At the same time, the current economic model and consumerist lifestyle needs to be radically transformed if society is to overcome the challenges humanity is facing on a finite planet.Can the much-discussed disruption potential of digitalization be harnessed for this purpose?Smart Green World? provides guiding principles for a sustainable digital society and develops numerous hands-on proposals for how digitalization can be shaped to become a driving force for social transformation.For instance, the authors explain why more digitalization is needed to realize the transition towards 100% renewable energy and show how this can be achieved without sacrificing privacy.They analyze how the information revolution can transform consumption patterns, mobility habits and industry structures – instead of fostering the consumption of unneeded stuff due to personalized commercials and the acceleration of life.The authors reveal how Artificial Intelligence and the Industrial Internet of Things pose novel environmental challenges and contribute to a polarization of income; but they also demonstrate how the internet can be restored to its status as a commons, with users taking priority and society at large reaping the benefits of technological change in a most democratic way. Providing a comprehensive and practical assessment of both social and environmental opportunities and challenges of digitalization, Smart Green World?Making Digitalization Work for Sustainability will be of great interest to all those studying the complex interrelationship of the twenty-first-century megatrends of digitalization and decarbonization.

The Technology Trap : Capital, Labor, and Power in the Age of Automation
"Made me look at the industrial revolution, invention, sleeping beauties, contexts and the forces that shape our societies differently."—David Byrne, New York Times Book ReviewHow the history of technological revolutions can help us better understand economic and political polarization in the age of automation From the Industrial Revolution to the age of artificial intelligence, The Technology Trap takes a sweeping look at the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society’s members.As Carl Benedikt Frey shows, the Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanization were devastating for large swaths of the population.Middle-income jobs withered, wages stagnated, the labor share of income fell, profits surged, and economic inequality skyrocketed.These trends, Frey documents, broadly mirror those in our current age of automation, which began with the Computer Revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution eventually brought about extraordinary benefits for society, artificial intelligence systems have the potential to do the same.But Frey argues that this depends on how the short term is managed.In the nineteenth century, workers violently expressed their concerns over machines taking their jobs.The Luddite uprisings joined a long wave of machinery riots that swept across Europe and China.Today’s despairing middle class has not resorted to physical force, but their frustration has led to rising populism and the increasing fragmentation of society.As middle-class jobs continue to come under pressure, there’s no assurance that positive attitudes to technology will persist. The Industrial Revolution was a defining moment in history, but few grasped its enormous consequences at the time.The Technology Trap demonstrates that in the midst of another technological revolution, the lessons of the past can help us to more effectively face the present.

What is the efficiency of the power plant?
The efficiency of a power plant is a measure of how much of the energy in the fuel is converted into electricity. It is calculated by dividing the electrical output of the plant by the heat input from the fuel. A higher efficiency means that more of the energy in the fuel is being converted into electricity, resulting in less waste and lower fuel consumption. The efficiency of a power plant can be improved through the use of advanced technologies and better fuel management.
-
What is the difference between power factor and efficiency?
Power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being used in a system, specifically the ratio of real power to apparent power. It indicates how efficiently power is being converted into useful work. Efficiency, on the other hand, is a measure of how well a system converts input energy into output energy, typically expressed as a percentage. It reflects the overall effectiveness of a system in performing its intended function, taking into account losses and inefficiencies. In summary, power factor relates to the quality of power being used, while efficiency relates to the overall performance of a system in converting energy.
