The advancement of technology, such as data analytics and AI, has led to the birth of Industry 4.0, in which technology seems to be at the centre of development. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic created havoc, the entire world production chain was seriously affected, highlighting that machines alone, although fully connected and automated, cannot function without people. This book addresses contemporary issues and the impact of digital transformation on individuals, businesses and governments in Asia. As Asian nations are moving fast towards the digital economy, this edited collection offers new perspectives on understanding emerging business opportunities as well as the challenges faced. Chapters explore the variables that accelerate digital transformation, notably the COVID-19 pandemic, the rapid development of information and communication technology, AI, big data and affordable internet access, and their impact on business and society. With rich, empirical studies from leading researchers, this book will be a reference for academics and scholars across business disciplines, including information, technology and innovation management, organisational and strategic management, as well as those interested in industrial development.

It supports functional programming, making it ideal for concurrent programming and for creating domain-specific languages. Clojure lets you solve harder problems, make faster changes, and end up with a smaller code base. It's no wonder that there are so many Clojure success stories. About the Book Clojure in Action, Second Edition is an expanded and improved version that's been updated to cover the new features of Clojure 1.6. The book gives you a rapid introduction to the Clojure language, moving from abstract theory to practical examples. You'll start by learning how to use Clojure as a general-purpose language. Next, you'll explore Clojure's efficient concurrency model, based on the database concept of Software Transactional Memory (STM). You'll gain a new level of productivity through Clojure DSLs that can run on the JVM. Along the way, you'll learn countless tips, tricks, and techniques for writing smaller, safer, and faster code. What's Inside Functional programming basics Metaprogramming with Clojure's macros Interoperating with Java Covers Clojure 1.6 About the Reader Assumes readers are familiar with a programming language like C, Java, Ruby, or Python. Table of Contents Introducing Clojure Clojure elements: Data structures and functions Building blocks of Clojure Multimethod polymorphism Exploring Clojure and Java interop State and the concurrent world Evolving Clojure through macros More on functional programming Protocols, records, and types Test-driven development and more More macros and DSL

Our organizations are flooded with empty talk. We are constantly "going forward" to lands of "deliverables", stopping off on the "journey" to "drill down" into "best practice". Being an expert at using management speak has become more important in corporate life than delivering long lasting results. The upshot is that meaningless corporate jargon is killing our organizations. In this book, management scholar the author argues we need to call this empty talk what it is: bullshit. The book looks at how organizations have become vast machines for manufacturing, distributing and consuming bullshit. It follows how the meaningless language of management has spread through schools, NGOs, politics and the media. Business Bullshit shows you how to spot business bullshit, considers why it is so popular, and outlines the impact it has on organizations and the people who work there. It also outlines what we can do to minimise bullshit at work. The author makes a case for why organizations need to avoid empty talk and reconnect with core activities.

In his forty-six short years, Mr. Mohun Biswas has been fighting against destiny to achieve some semblance of independence, only to face a lifetime of calamity. Shuttled from one residence to another after the drowning death of his father, for which he is inadvertently responsible, Mr. Biswas yearns for a place he can call home. But when he marries into the domineering Tulsi family on whom he indignantly becomes dependent, Mr. Biswas embarks on an arduous -- and endless -- struggle to weaken their hold over him, and purchase a house of his own.
