An exploration of the dynamic transformations and future possibilities of the space industry.Space is the next great, untapped market opportunity, and it's undergoing a commercial revolution right now. No, it's not hotels on Mars or day trips to orbit (yet), but it's still an awe-inspiring transformation driven by innovation, creativity, and new technology. A wave of companies led by gutsy entrepreneurs with big dreams about our opportunities beyond the atmosphere is the driving force for creating humanity's space future. But it's not happening through dreams alone. The space economy is just that--an economy--impelled by the same laws of supply and demand as any business. The authors, who teach a wildly popular course on the topic at Harvard Business School, explain how this market is forming, why it's forming so quickly (as access to space becomes dramatically more affordable and routine), and how it's fast becoming an increasingly important source of value for businesses across industries, and for society as a whole, propelling us once more toward the moon and beyond.Weinzierl and Rosseau bring to life this revolution through the players you've heard of--Musk's SpaceX and Bezos' Blue Origin--and many you haven't, like Astroscale, founded by an IT executive who quit his job to start a company to clean up space junk.With clarity and rigor, Weinzierl and Rosseau get past the breathless hype to explain what's real, what's not, what comes next, and how you can be part of the burgeoning market in the endless black ocean of space.

We are currently witnessing the emergence of a ¿third culture¿, driven by unprecedented developments that are changing the playing field. These include advances in AI, big data analysis and robotics. The traditional ¿two cultures¿ view (S. P. Snow) distinguishes between the sciences and the humanities. The wisdoms these two cultures offer are separated from each other, with little to no interaction or mutual comprehension. However, over the past two decades, and for the first time in human history, a new, third culture has appeared. This new culture, rooted in new technologies, not only pursues its own form of rationality but also supports advances in the original two cultures, deepening and expanding our individual and collective consciousness so that we can see more and do better. It will eventually give rise to new forms of consciousness based not on biochemical signals, but on copper wires and lithium chips. These new machine intelligences will change the world and force us to realise: we are no longer alone. The human species¿ position in the twenty-first century will be fundamentally redefined: not as a conductor leading the orchestra, but a single string player within it.

Emigrating means suffering, loneliness and depression?We have to get rid of the idea that you have to suffer to succeed. I always have ingrained my mom's words: "We are the king's children", that means to me that we are here to enjoy, to be happy and free, to be successful, to triumph and enjoy an abundant and prosperous life, anywhere, in any country.Of course not everything is so simple. We have opted for a new country, in many cases with a different language; sometimes we have to deal with our fears and insecurities, sometimes anxiety, unwelcome people, health, economic or relationship problems; unpleasant or lonely moments; but we must always remember the positives, know that there are also angels that cross our path, opportunities of all kinds, joy and many, many laughs.

I am happy to share it with you, because I feel that it will help many people reading about my journey as well. This is my way of telling them that they are not alone, that we have all gone through or experienced difficult times and that there is always a light to guide you, that we have to follow our instincts, our hunch, our inner voice that does not lie.

To succeed in business-in anything really-you need to become obsessed with being better. How can I be a better leader? How can we offer better customer service? How can we sell better? How can we work better as a team? How can we have better transparency as a company? How can we embrace change better?The obsession with being better hit Damon right between the eyes when one of his first customers threatened the entire business model he built on the first day that he was officially self-employed. That phone call was a brutal awakening. But it was also a blessing in disguise. It underscored the ever-pressing need to not just be good, but to be better. In all departments. At all times.That's where this book comes in. Believe in Better includes the ten key areas within the realm of business that will drive unprecedented success and growth when you simply focus on being better.Because being the best is fleeting. Being better is forever.

This book examines intellectual property (IP) as an important value driver for start-ups. Businesses of all sizes are inevitably confronted with intellectual property issues at some point, but start-ups and their collaborators face unique challenges and opportunities in IP management. Identifying, generating, and exploiting intellectual property can lead to sustainable competitive advantages and avoidance of risks. Many start-ups sense the complexity of IP management and therefore place their energy elsewhere.

Bader and Prof. Dr. Sevim Süzerölu-Melchiors have years of experience as consultants, entrepreneurs, business owners, and researchers where they saw firsthand the need for a comprehensive yet practical resource for start-ups and their key stakeholders.This book explores different perspectives in dealing with IP from six different angles: the start-up's view, the investor's view, the corporation's view, the university's view, the global IP office's view, and the advisor's view. Each section consists of chapters written by leading experts from around the globe including Silicon Valley, Canada, Israel, Switzerland, Germany, Finland, France, Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, Singapore, and South Africa. Contributors bring practical experience from a wide range of sectors, such as information and communication technology, software, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, industrial automation, internet of things, life sciences, pharma, crop science, biotech, medtech, mining, sustainability, climate tech, and even quantum technologies.

An Instant New York Times Bestseller A momentous look at the private companies building a revolutionary new economy in space, from the New York Times bestselling author of Elon MuskIn When the Heavens Went on Sale, Ashlee Vance illuminates our future and unveils the next big technology story of our time: welcome to the Wild West of aerospace engineering and its unprecedented impact on our lives.With the launch of SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket in 2008, Silicon Valley began to realize that the universe itself was open for business. Now, Vance tells the remarkable, unfolding story of this frenzied intergalactic land grab by following four pioneering companies?Astra, Firefly, Planet Labs, and Rocket Lab?as they build new space systems and attempt to launch rockets and satellites into orbit by the thousands.With the public fixated on the space tourism being driven by the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson, these new, scrappy companies arrived with a different set of goals: to make rocket and satellite launches fast and cheap, thereby opening Earth's lower orbit for business. Vance has had a front-row seat and singular access to this peculiar and unprecedented moment in history, and he chronicles it all in full color: the top-secret launch locations, communes, gun-toting bodyguards, drugs, espionage investigations, and multimillionaires guzzling booze to dull the pain as their fortunes disappear.Through immersive and intimate reporting, When the Heavens Went on Sale reveals the spectacular chaos of the new business of space, and what happens when the idealistic, ambitious minds of Silicon Valley turn their unbridled vision toward the limitless expanse of the stars. This is the tale of technology's most pressing and controversial revolution, as told through fascinating characters chasing unimaginable stakes in the race to space.

This book examines the digitalization of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia and its challenges in the context of an emerging economy and the Covid-19 crisis. During the Covid-19 pandemic, business digitalization became a must for a business to avoid collapse and people saw that digital transformation is a panacea for SMEs to help them survive and revive from the crises. Governments and other stakeholders in many countries including Indonesia have launched policies and programs to support SMEs. Transforming SMEs' conventional businesses into digitalized versions, however, is a complex issue influenced by various factors. These factors encompass both internal changes within the organization and external dynamics in the ecosystem in which they operate. This book, therefore, is a new approach towards understanding the digitalization of SMEs in Indonesia and includes contributions from scholars with different, multi-disciplinary perspectives and demonstrates that digital transformation of SMEs is not all about technology adoption but also involves other aspects such as social, economic, and public governance factors. It discusses opportunities and challenges of digital transformation of SMEs in Indonesia, such as digital talent, financial inclusion, platform capitalism, automation, government¿s role, governance, open competition, and inclusive digital economy. The book is of interest to researchers and students of social economics, SMEs and entrepreneurship, human capital research, and economy and governance.¿

It is well known that high-tech startups need to innovate to survive, yet the failure rate for innovation is shockingly high. Nearly three out of four new products or services, i.e., their startups, miss their revenue and profit goals-or fail entirely.It's a misconception that high-tech startups fail only because of the failing products or finances. The failures could also be because of erroneous choice of technology platforms, development teams or methodology, or even the project execution. Accordingly, this book takes a holistic view of a startups' aesthetics that enables it to become attractive for all stakeholders especially investors in all aspects of its operations at all stages of its lifecycle.This book: Looks at aspects of venture capital financing and what investors look for in a contemporary startup.Shows how only an overarching aspiration for a startup to become a Unicorn is sufficient to explain the typical characteristics of legendry Silicon Valley Unicorns like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.Covers major application areas of current/future interest, namely, intelligent systems, intelligent assistants, wireless sensor networks, Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain systems.Introduces the contemporary skills-set in demand for Startups.To succinctly cover all aspects of a contemporary startup, Unleashing the Startup Unicorn is organized to reflect the natural grouping of competencies that are essential for entrepreneurial ventures-from conception to successful exit. To understand and analyze these competencies, the book uses an extended 9S model inspired by the pioneering McKinsey 7S model.
