Dwell


Book Description

At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.

The Darkening Glass


Book Description

A single global accounting language surely must be the aim of the accounting profession in its bid to support the global economy and markets. However, there are a number of practical and political issues which may hinder this process. This report addresses one of these issues - that of translation. This report takes a European perspective: to identify specific issues which arise in the translation of accounting terminology; to explore the implications of these issues; and to make recommendations for stakeholders in IFRS adoption and translation. The authors find that although translation is possible, direct equivalence cannot be achieved. Translation problems can arise because of differences in accounting systems and language structures. Problems are likely to differ between different language families. A major problem is that meanings between different languages do not exactly overlap. These findings give rise to six policy implications for consideration by the profession.

Soft Computing and Fuzzy Methodologies in Innovation Management and Sustainability


Book Description

This book provides recent research on soft computing and fuzzy methodologies in innovation management and sustainability. The uncertainty in the business world is increasing. Significant changes are generated unexpectedly, so using fuzzy logic and soft computing methods allows us to create flexible scenarios adaptable to new realities. Within the book, we will find different applications of fuzzy methodologies that can apply to various topics such as sustainability, innovation, tourism, costs, exports, systems administration, among others. The book's main contribution is the applicability of the various methodologies to specific cases, which allows generating a relationship between theory and practice. In addition, it has some bibliometric studies on various topics that give us a visualization of what has happened and where multiple topics are headed. This book is recommended mainly for students who wish to know how the various fuzzy and soft computing tools can be taken to real situations, allowing a better understanding of these and generating new visions of future applicability.
