The brain : big bangs, behaviors, and beliefs / by DeSalle, Rob.(CARDINAL)330798; Tattersall, Ian.(CARDINAL)708654;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 327-336) and index.The nature of science : our brains at work -- The nitty-gritty of the nervous system -- Hanging our brains on the tree of life -- Making sense of senses -- Processing information -- Emotions and memory -- Brain evodevo -- Words and music by- -- Decisions, behaviors, and beliefs -- The human brain and cognitive evolution."Tapping the very latest findings in evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and molecular biology, Rob DeSalle and Ian Tattersall explain how the cognitive gulf that separates us from all other living creatures could have occurred. They discuss the development and uniqueness of human consciousness, how human and nonhuman brains work, the roles of different nerve cells, the importance of memory and language in brain functions, and much more. Our brains, they conclude, are the product of a lengthy and supremely untidy history--an evolutionary process of many zigs and zags--that has accidentally resulted in a splendidly eccentric and creative product." -- Provided by publisher.

Process innovation : reengineering work through information technology / by Davenport, Thomas H.,1954-(CARDINAL)206108;

Includes bibliographical references and index.The nature of process innovation -- Selecting processes for innovation -- Information technology as an enabler of process innovation -- Processes and information -- Organizational and human resource enablers of process change -- Creating a process vision -- Understanding and improving existing processes --Designing and implementing the new process and organization -- Process innovation and the management of organizational change -- Implementing process innovation with information technology -- Product and service development and delivery processes -- Customer-facing processes -- Management processes -- Summary and conclusions -- Appendix A: Companies involved in the research -- Appendix B: The origins of process innovation.Process innovation - a revolutionary new approach that fuses information technology and human resource management - can dramatically improve business performance. In the demanding environment of the 1990s, simply formulating strategy is no longer sufficient; it is also essential to design the processes to implement strategy effectively.Built around new technologies and motivated workers, process innovation begins with a commitment to a strategic vision from senior management. Its scope is vast and crosses multiple business functions. Its goals are ambitious - companies embarking on process innovation often seek tenfold improvements in cost, time, or quality. For example, IBM reduced the preparation time for quotes on buying or leasing a computer from seven days to one, while preparing 10 times as many quotes. The Internal Revenue Service collected 33% more from delinquent taxpayers, with only half the staff and one-third the branch offices. One analysis of the New York Stock Exchange suggests that a redesign of trading processes could save buyers and sellers hundreds of millions of dollars each year.The cornerstone to process innovation's dramatic results is information technology - a largely untapped resource, but a crucial "enabler" of process innovation. In turn, only a challenge like process innovation affords maximum use of information technology's potential. Thomas Davenport provides numerous examples of firms that have succeeded or failed in combining business change and technology initiatives. He also highlights the role of new organizational structures and human resource programs in facilitating this process.

Demonstrating that knowledge based on reason plays an essential role in society and that there is much more to 'knowing' than just acquiring information, ... philosopher Michael Patrick Lynch [posits that] our digital way of life makes us overvalue some ways of processing information over others, and thus risks distorting what it means to be human"--Dust jacket flap.
