How has Japan become a major economic power, a world leader in the automotive and electronics industries? What is the secret of their success? The consensus has been that, though the Japanese are not particularly innovative, they are exceptionally skilful at imitation, at improving products that already exist. But now two leading Japanese business experts, Ikujiro Nonaka and Hiro Takeuchi, turn this conventional wisdom on its head: Japanese firms are successful, they contend, precisely because they are innovative, because they create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies. Examining case studies drawn from such firms as Honda, Canon, Matsushita, NEC, 3M, GE, and the U.S. Marines, this book reveals how Japanese companies translate tacit to explicit knowledge and use it to produce new processes, products, and services.

The knowledge-creating company : how Japanese companies create the dynamics of innovation

The Study of Man. By Michael Polanyi. Price, $1.75. Pp. 102. University of Chicago Press, 5750 Ellis Ave., Chicago 37, 1959. One subtitle to Polanyi's challenging and fascinating book might be The Evolution and Natural History of Error , for Polanyi is at pains to expunge what he believes to be the false notion contained in the contemporary view of science which treats it as an object and basically impersonal discipline. According to Polanyi not only is this a radical and important error, but it is harmful to the objectives of science itself. Another subtitle could be Farewell to Detachment , for in place of cold objectivity he develops the idea that science is necessarily intensely personal. It is a human endeavor and human point of view which cannot be divorced from nor uprooted out of the human matrix from which it arises and in which it works. For a good while

Information management for the intelligent organization: The art of scanning the environment

The conference “SIIE” aims to develop the dialogue between experts and researchers from public and
private sectors, to acquire basic and experimental on Information Systems (IS) and Economic Intelligence
(EI) (or Competitive Intelligence in English acceptance and terminology). This promotes, in a risk
environment, technologies related to economic intelligence. The dynamic of EI depends on the control of
knowledge and requires competences to design the best strategies and ensure that decision-­makers take
the right decisions. The international conference SIIE will be held in its seventh (7th.) edition in Marrakech
in April 2017, after the six successful editions. This edition is organized by CIEMS and IEEE Technology &
Engineering Management Society (TEMS), and sponsored by the Universities of Maghreb and Europe
countries. The theme of SIIE is « Trends in Technology Management and Economic Intelligence ». Since
2008, the six proceedings and editions have allowed academic researchers and economic actors to achieve
completed projects. The goal of SIIE is to continue in this way by creating opportunities, ideas and
innovative ways to enhance projects, and build connections between universities and industries on both
sides of the Mediterranean Sea. SIIE'2017 includes keynotes, tutorials, authors’ sessions and industrial
panels, animated by experts, to identify new approaches and knowledge in economic intelligence, applied
research and feedback. This will allow the emergence of new clusters in competitive intelligence. Within a
convivial and comfortable framework, as Morocco knows so well how to offer such a framework, the SIIE
conference has always been thought to promote the weaving of trust networks between actors in academia,
industry and politics, thus contributing to the training of the SIIE scientific community. The expert
recommendations and advices will help the SIIE community to find solutions to their many questions and
problems.
