◤企業搶購、狂賣 16 刷《穀倉效應》作者最新續作◢ Google、微軟、雀巢、Facebook、亞馬遜的全新策略 ──── 從人類學視角帶出未來思考！ 無論企業、執政者或個人，大多仰賴科技、大數據及過往經驗來制定策略， 然而，在這個高易變性（Volatility）、不確定性（Uncertainty）、複雜性（Complexity）、模糊性（Ambiguity）的 VUCA 時代， 大數據只能統計出表層問題，無法真正顯現目標群體的訴求和文化，幫助領導者看見更深層的肇因。 而個人專業知識反成穀倉，形成狹隘的隧道視野，最終導致誤判風險、錯失先機。 破除框架、掌握文化，才能直擊 VUCA 時代最難掌握的───人心！ ✖ 未能掌握人心的例子 ▌嘉寶嬰兒食品公司： 不熟悉各地產品成分標示習慣，在西非鬧出「美國人愛吃嬰兒肉」的恐怖笑話。 ▌西方執政者： 輕視非洲各地對抗伊波拉的慘痛經驗，錯失 COVID-19 防疫先機。 ▌金融人士： 用專業術語打造銀行業穀倉，缺乏外部觀點，引發 2008 年全球金融海嘯。 ▌歐寶汽車： 為求振興尋求品牌合作，卻因三方對「會議」的認知不同而破局。 ✔ 因掌握人心而獲益的例子 ▌食品：雀巢 KitKat 巧克力 從商品的日文諧音切入，賦予「必勝」含意，讓巧克力成為應考幸運符， 成功與消費者文化同步，轉型為日本青少年最愛的零食。 ▌科技：英特爾 掌握東方家長的控制文化，打造出無隱私、資訊透明的學習裝置， 拓展市場規模，在第三世界大受歡迎。 ▌製造：通用汽車 推動跨階層賦權文化，彌補管理者由上而下的視野斷層， 消除勞工人人自保的怪罪習性，提高生產力，降低消費者投訴率。 ▌教育：報春花教育集團 深入家庭進行田野調查，了解當代父母的同儕文化， 以儀式及參與感取代權威教育，大幅提升註冊率。 《穀倉效應》告訴我們，如何避免讓分工成為阻礙； 本書則進一步揭示破除現代穀倉的工具，消除團隊與個人盲點，擴展人生、事業新格局。 ▶ 化陌生為熟悉： 接納陌生感、突破文化差異，掌握目標族群的習性與意義網。 ▶ 化熟悉為陌生： 跳脫慣性隧道視野，採橫向視角更客觀地檢視自身，覺察風險與機會。 ▶ 傾聽社會沉默： VUCA 時代裡許多隱而不顯得問題，都能從文化角度切入，得出解方。 【本書特色】 1. 從企業、政治到個人，「穀倉效應」理論在本書臻至完整！ 2. 透過各界人士的案例

Now with a new chapter, this is the eye-opening book fromSunday Timesbestselling author Jeanette Winterson.Drawing on her years of thinking and reading about AI, Jeanette Winterson looks to history, religion, myth, literature, politics and, of course, computer science to help us understand the radical changes to the way we live and love that are happening now.With wit, compassion and curiosity, Winterson tackles AI's most interesting talking points - from the weirdness of backing up your brain and the connections between humans and non-human helpers to whether it's time to leave planet Earth.'Very funny...

An interdisciplinary, cross-cultural collection that decenters familiar narratives to provide a fresh perspective on what artificial intelligence is today, and what it might become.Historians, media theorists, science-fiction writers, philosophers, and artists from China and elsewhere reexamine the nation’s intense engagement with AI, moving beyond the clichés that still dominate contemporary debate.Today, visions of the contested future of AI veer between common planetary goals and a new Cold War, as culturally-specific models of intelligence, speculative traditions, and thought experiments come up against the emergence of novel forms of cognition that cannot be reduced to any historical cultural tradition.This uniquely positioned volume provides expert insight into this tension, using China as a touchstone for rethinking "artificiality" and "intelligence" as sites of difference in a way that is already present in the difficulty of precisely translating the Chinese term 人工智能.

he Genera of Orchidaceae in Hong Kong is a handy reference for both amateurs and professional botanists in Asia who wish to enter the field of modern orchidology. Orchid appreciation is an art deeply rooted in Asian cultures. But in 1977, when this book was first published, orchidology as a science was new to people there.

Chapter III provides an analysis of the composition and an interpretation of the phytogeographic significance of th

預防下一場疫病大流行發生成為各國重要議題。Bill Gates以世界級專家的知識與蓋茲基金會對抗重大疾病的經驗為基礎，深入淺出解析傳染病，並提出國與國之間，政府與民間單位聯手合作，不只能阻擋下一場疫病，更有機會消滅所有呼吸道相關疾病。A new book by Bill Gates that lays out a clear plan to prevent future pandemics The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges.
