Hacking growth : how today's fastest-growing companies drive breakout success
\"The definitive playbook by the pioneers of Growth Hacking, one of the hottest business methodologies in Silicon Valley and beyond. It seems hard to believe today, but there was a time when Air Bnb was the best-kept secret known of travel hackers and couch surfers, Pintrest was a niche web site frequented only by bakers and crafters, LinkedIn was an exclusive network for C-suite executives and top-level recruiters, Facebook was My Space's sorry step-brother, and Uber was a scrappy upstart that didn't stand a chance against the Goliath that was New York City Yellow Cabs. So how did these companies grow from these humble beginnings into the powerhouses they are today? Contrary to popular belief, they didn't explode to massive worldwide popularity simply by building a great product then crossing their fingers and hoping it would catch on. There was a studied, carefully implemented methodology behind these companies' extraordinary rise. That methodology is called Growth Hacking, and it'spractitioners include not just today's hottest start-ups, but also companies like IBM, Walmart, and Microsoft as well as the millions of entrepreneurs, marketers, managers and executives who make up the community of GrowthHackers.com, Think of the Growth Hacking methodology as doing for market-share growth what Lean Start-Up did for product development, and Scrum did for productivity. It involves cross-functional teams and rapid-tempo testing and iteration that focuses customers: attaining them, retaining them, engaging them, and motivating them to come back and buy more. An accessible and practical toolkit that teams and companies in all industries can use to increase their customer base and market share, this book walks readers through the process of creating and executing their own custom-made growth hacking strategy. It is a must read for any marketer, entrepreneur, innovator or manger looking to replace wasteful big bets and \"spaghetti-on-the-wall\" approaches with more consistent, replicable, cost-effective, and data-driven results\"-- Provided by publisher.

Team Development Process: Its Nature and Influencing Factors
How teams evolve is a topic of concern to researchers, and questions remain to be answered. This study is based on two mainstream team development theories, i.e., the lifecycle model and the equilibrium model. The authors investigate three project teams in a hospital organization, adopt a qualitative cross-case comparison method, and explore the lifecycle process of team development and multi-level factors that affect the process. This study finds a non-linear phenomenon in team lifecycle development; task and relationship behaviors develop separately but interact with each other. The influencing factors of the process include relatedness between project tasks and team members' organizational roles, leadership, psychological safety, task interdependence, team constraints, and member churn. These factors can accelerate or delay the team development process. In addition, team equilibrium states tend to alter due to the evolution of social structure and resources. Finally, we develop research propositions for future research and practice.

Food policy and the environmental credit crunch : from soup to nuts
\"The changing economic environment for the consumer that is emerging from the wreckage of the financial credit crunch plays directly into the importance of food spending. This is certainly true from the perspective of food prices in the short run, but also from the perspective of sustainability and reducing the impact of the environmental credit crunch. The economic changes we experience now have a bearing on our ability to manage the environmental credit crunch that looms. Food Policy and the Environmental Credit Crunch: From Soup to Nuts elaborates on the issues addressed in the authors' first book, From Red to Green?, and asks whether the financial credit crunch could ameliorate or exacerbate the emergent environmental credit crunch. The conclusion drawn here is that a significant and positive difference could be made by changing some of the ways in which we procure, prepare, and consume our food. Written by an economist and an investment professional, this book addresses the economic and environmental implications of how we treat food. The book examines each aspect of the 'food chain', from agriculture, to production and processing, retail, preparation, consumption and waste. \"-- Provided by publisher.

團隊發展歷程：本質與影響因素
團隊如何隨時間推移而發展是學者們關心的議題，也仍存在著待回答的問題。本研究參酌兩個團隊發展文獻的主流（即生命週期模型和均衡模型），以三個同一醫院組織中的專案團隊為研究對象，採用跨個案比較的質性方法，探討團隊發展的生命週期歷程，以及影響歷程的多層次因素。本研究發現：生命週期發展存在非線性現象，且任務與關係行為是分開發展又互相影響；心理安全感（Psychological Safety）、本職與團隊任務關聯性、領導、團隊限制（Team Level Constraints）、任務相依性（Task Interdependence）等都可能影響團隊發展，這些因素會加速或延遲團隊發展進程。此外，團隊也會因著社會結構與資源的變化而改變團隊的均衡狀態。最後，本研究發展出研究命題，作為未來研究與實務參考。

Managerialism : a critique of an ideology
\"Many people have experienced management at work with some exposed to Managerialism. Once Managerialism had transcended the simplicity of managing companies it mutated into an ideology infiltrating nearly every eventuality of human life. Delivering a comprehensive definition of Managerialism, this book traces Managerialism's origins from simple factory administration to its current form as full-blown ideology that has infected private lives, public and educational institutions, society, the art, the economy, and even democracy. Today thousands of managers have graduated from Managerialism's main training facilities, namely management schools. They are ready to spread Managerialism's one-dimensional, anti-democratic, and authoritarian ideology that everything and anything can be managed through a specific set of managerial knowledge found in management studies. But there are also challenges to Managerialism. There are images of what lies beyond Managerialism. These post-managerial images include a rejection of the human and environmental destructiveness of Managerialism. And there are ways to create human and sustainable post-managerial living conditions\"-- Provided by publisher.

Extensive migration of young neurons into the infant human frontal lobe
As the brain develops, neurons migrate from zones of proliferation to their final locations, where they begin to build circuits. Paredes
et al.
have discovered that shortly after birth, a group of neurons that proliferates near the ventricles migrates in chains alongside circulatory vessels into the frontal lobes (see the Perspective by McKenzie and Fishell). Young neurons that migrate postnatally into the anterior cingulate cortex then develop features of inhibitory interneurons. The number of migratory cells decreases over the first 7 months of life, and by 2 years of age, migratory cells are not evident. Any damage during migration, such as hypoxia, may affect the child's subsequent physical and behavioral development.

Neurons are still finding their places as inhibitory circuits are established in the developing postnatal brain.
[Also see Perspective by
McKenzie
]
The first few months after birth, when a child begins to interact with the environment, are critical to human brain development. The human frontal lobe is important for social behavior and executive function; it has increased in size and complexity relative to other species, but the processes that have contributed to this expansion are unknown. Our studies of postmortem infant human brains revealed a collection of neurons that migrate and integrate widely into the frontal lobe during infancy. Chains of young neurons move tangentially close to the walls of the lateral ventricles and along blood vessels. These cells then individually disperse long distances to reach cortical tissue, where they differentiate and contribute to inhibitory circuits. Late-arriving interneurons could contribute to developmental plasticity, and the disruption of their postnatal migration or differentiation may underlie neurodevelopmental disorders.

Classifying Prosocial Behavior: Children's Responses to Instrumental Need, Emotional Distress, and Material Desire
This study investigates the diversity of early prosocial behavior by examining the ability of ninety-five 2- to 4-year-olds to provide aid to an adult experimenter displaying instrumental need, emotional distress, and material desire. Children provided appropriate aid in response to each of these cues with high consistency over multiple trials. In contrast to the consistency with which the children provided aid within each task, there were no cross-task correlations, and the tendency to respond to each of the cues revealed unique developmental trajectories. Taken together, these results provide preliminary support for the importance of examining the cues to which children are responding and of differentiating between varieties of aid when considering the development of prosocial behavior.

Collective genius : the art and practice of leading innovation
\"Unleashing the Collective Genius in Your Organization What is the relationship between leadership and innovation? How can some companies innovate again and again-continuously producing products and services that customers want-while most other firms cannot? How do you unleash consistent creativity in those around you? In this important new book, a team of preeminent thinkers-leadership scholar and Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill (Becoming a Manager, Being the Boss), former Pixar technology wizard Greg Brandeau, MIT researcher Emily Truelove, and writer and former executive Kent Lineback (Being the Boss)-reveal what they say is the inextricable yet significant link between leadership and innovation. Based on extensive research at many of the world's top organizations, Collective Genius makes the compelling argument that today's knowledge-intensive global economy demands innovation not just as a competence, but as a much deeper part of the culture of the enterprise. They say the leadership implications of this are profound and result in the difference between those organizations that consistently innovate and those that do not. With vivid real-life voices, rich ethnographic description, and expert guidance from authors who've led innovation and creativity first hand in their own organizations, Collective Genius will expand and deepen our leadership wisdom and competence for a new century. \"-- Provided by publisher.

Does Household Income Affect children’s Outcomes? A Systematic Review of the Evidence
There is abundant evidence that children in low income households do less well than their peers on a range of developmental outcomes. However, there is continuing uncertainty about how far money itself matters, and how far associations simply reflect other, unobserved, differences between richer and poorer families. The authors conducted a systematic review of studies using methods that lend themselves to causal interpretation. To be included, studies had to use Randomised Controlled Trials, quasi-experiments or fixed effect-style techniques on longitudinal data. The results lend strong support to the hypothesis that household income has a positive causal effect on children’s outcomes, including their cognitive and social-behavioural development and their health, particularly in households with low income to begin with. There is also clear evidence of a positive causal effect of income on ‘intermediate outcomes’ that are important for children’s development, including maternal mental health, parenting and the home environment. The review also makes a methodological contribution, identifying that effects tend to be larger in experimental and quasi-experimental studies than in fixed effect approaches. This finding has implications for our ability to generalise from observational studies.
