Sommario/riassunto

'I never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe any thing but the perception.' These famous words of David Hume, on his inability to perceive the self, set the stage for



JeeLoo Liu and John Perry's collection of essays on self-awareness and self-knowledge. This volume connects recent scientific studies on consciousness with the traditional issues about the self explored by Descartes, Locke and Hume. Experts in the field offer contrasting perspectives on matters such as the relation between consciousness and self-awareness, the notion of personhood and the epistemic access to one's own thoughts, desires or attitudes. The volume will be of interest to philosophers, psychologists, neuroscientists, cognitive scientists and others working on the central topics of consciousness and the self.

Sommario/riassunto

Technological change is accelerating rapidly, and new rules in global business ecosystems are disrupting established business models. Digital technologies like artificial intelligence challenge even the most proven products and value propositions. The corporate world is transforming at every level, necessitating an evolution in corporate governance. How can governance bodies drive corporate transformation to secure the company’s future? How can they stay ahead of disruptive change rather than just reacting to it? This book advocates for ambidexterity in supervisory boards — the ability to balance stability and innovation. It explores how today’s governance bodies can evolve into tomorrow’s pioneers by leveraging ambidexterity to oversee and challenge management. It illustrates how they can act as strategic partners in shaping a competitive future while embracing an increasingly interconnected world. The Content A deep dive into organizational ambidexterity Strategies for integrating ambidexterity as a mental model and action framework in the work of supervisory boards Insights from leading supervisory board members in Germany Exclusive contributions from internationally renowned ambidexterity experts The Author Julia Duwe is a management consultant and has been a long-standing executive in mechanical engineering companies with extensive experience in digital transformation.
