At the heart of matters is the coherence theorem, of which this book provides a definitive treatment, as well as covering related results. Along the way the author treats such material as the Gray tensor product and gives a construction of the fundamental 3-groupoid of a space. The book serves as a comprehensive introduction, covering essential material for any student of coherence and assuming only a basic understanding of higher category theory. It is also a reference point for many key concepts in the field and therefore a vital resource for researchers wishing to apply higher categories or coherence results in fields such as algebraic topology or theoretical computer science. 410 0$aCambridge tracts in mathematics ;$v201. 606 $aTricategories 615 0$aTricategories. 676 $a512/.55 686 $aMAT018000$2bisacsh 700 $aGurski$b Nick$f1980-$01513304 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789316703321 996 $aCoherence in three-dimensional category theory$93747672 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03762nam 2200649 450 001 9910798588003321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-231-54163-5 024 7 $a10.7312/opaz17678 035 $a(CKB)3710000000730374 035 $a(EBL)4580728 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001646419 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16418387 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001646419 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14901623 035 $a(PQKB)10824084 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4580728 035 $a(DE-B1597)468944 035 $a(OCoLC)951712421 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780231541633 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4532762 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4580728 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11242197 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL984619 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4532762 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11222003 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000730374 100 $a20160824h20162016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAppetite for innovation $ecreativity and change at elBulli /$fM.

Located in Catalonia, Spain, the three-star Michelin restaurant led the world to "molecular" or "techno-emotional" cooking and made creations, such as pine-nut marshmallows, rose-scented mozzarella, liquid olives, and melon caviar, into sensational reality. People traveled from all over the world?if they could secure a reservation during its six months of operation?to experience the wonder that chef Ferran Adrią and his team concocted in their test kitchen, never offering the same dish twice. Yet elBulli's business model proved unsustainable. The restaurant converted to a foundation in 2011, and is working hard on its next revolution. Will elBulli continue to innovate? What must an organization do to create something new?Appetite for Innovation is an organizational analysis of elBulli and the nature of innovation. Pilar Opazo joined elBulli's inner circle as the restaurant transitioned from a for-profit business to its new organizational model. In this book, she compares this moment to the culture of change that first made elBulli famous, and then describes the novel forms of communication, idea mobilization, and embeddedness that continue to encourage the staff to focus and invent as a whole. She finds that the successful strategies employed by elBulli are similar to those required for innovation in art, music, business, and technology, proving the value of the elBulli model across organizations and industries. 606 $aOrganizational change 606 $aBusiness incubators 606 $aCreative destruction 615 0$aOrganizational change. 615 0$aBusiness incubators. 615 0$aCreative destruction. 676 $a647.95068 700 $aOpazo$b M.
