The Business Value of Software

The Business Value of Software

In business driving value is a key strategy and typically starts at the top of an organization. In today’s digital age driving software value is also an important and often overlooked key strategy. Executives and the corporate board need to expect the highest level of business value from the software the organization is developing buying and selling. In today’s digital transformation marketplace it is imperative that organizations start driving business value from software development initiatives. For many years the cost of software development challenged organizations with questions such as: How do we allocate software development costs?Should these costs be considered an overhead expense?Are we getting the most value possible for our investment? A fundamental problem has been built into these questions – the focus on cost. In almost every other part of the organization maximizing profit or in the case of a not-for-profit maximizing the funds available provides a clear focus with metrics to determine success or failure. In theory simply aligning software spending with the maximizing profit goals should be sufficient to avoid any questions about value for money. Unfortunately this alignment hasn’t turned out to be so simple and the questions persist particularly at the strategic or application portfolio level. In this book Michael D. S. Harris describes how a software business value culture—one where all stakeholders including technology and business—have a clear understanding of the goals and expected business value from software development. The book shows readers how they can transform software development from a cost or profit center to a business value center. Only a culture of software as a value center enables an organization to constantly maximize business value flow through software development. If your organization is starting to ask how it can change software from a cost-center to a value-center this book is for you. | The Business Value of Software

Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

This book expands the current axiology of theism literature by assessing the axiological status of alternative conceptions of God and the divine. To date most of the literature on the axiology of theism focuses almost exclusively on the axiological status of theism and atheism. Specifically it focuses almost entirely on monotheism typically Judeo-Christian conceptions of God and atheism usually construed as ontological naturalism. This volume features essays from prominent philosophers of religion ethicists and metaphysicians addressing the value impact of alternative views such as ultimism polytheism pantheism panentheism and idealism. Additionally it reflects a wider trend in analytic philosophy of religion to broaden its scope beyond the Judeo-Christian tradition. Value Beyond Monotheism will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in the philosophy of religion ethics and metaphysics. | Value Beyond Monotheism The Axiology of the Divine

The Value of Resilience Securing life in the twenty-first century

The Value of Resilience Securing life in the twenty-first century

The Value of Resilience represents one of the first systematic studies of resilience in the field of security studies. At the turn of the twenty-first century resilience has become a ‘buzz-word’ within fields as diverse as network engineering ecosystems management child psychology and military training programmes. Resilience has emerged as a solution to the common problematic of radical contingency experienced across these fields. At its most general level resilience is understood as the capacity to absorb withstand and ‘bounce-back’ quickly and efficiently from a perturbation. It is considered to be both a natural property and a quality which can be improved within a broad array of complex systems. Rather than treating resilience as either a unified concept or technique of governance this book analyses resilience as an emergent security value. Utilizing a biopolitical analytic it demonstrates that the value of resilience has appreciated alongside transformations in the order of power/knowledge enacted by political economies of security. Zebrowski argues that resilience was not lying in wait for the march of science to provide the conditions for its recognition. Nor was it concealed by the distortions of ideology which lifted with the culmination of the Cold War. There is nothing natural about resilience. By drawing attention to the complex historical processes and significant governmental efforts required to make resilience possible this book aims to open up a space through which the value of resilience may be more critically interrogated. It will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations security studies and conflict resolution. | The Value of Resilience Securing life in the twenty-first century

Hegemony and the Politics of Labour Towards a Discourse Theory of Value in Contemporary Capitalism

Hegemony and the Politics of Labour Towards a Discourse Theory of Value in Contemporary Capitalism

Hegemony and the Politics of Labour takes up a question that goes to the heart of the debate about politics capitalism and discourse: how can labour relations and value production be understood as discursive processes? When they launched their poststructuralist discourse theory almost 40 years ago Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe positioned the contingency of discourse and politics in sharp contrast to the deterministic tendencies of the Marxist critique of capitalism. Moving beyond Marxism as an essentialist ‘other’ discourse theory has since remained notoriously silent on questions related to the core workings of capitalism. This book is the first to bring the central categories of discourse theory into conversation with Marx’s critique of political economy. Reintegrating both traditions it argues that the social relations of labour in capitalism emerge as a hegemonic formation. Its contribution is to extend the reach of discourse theory to the capitalist economy exploring how a post- Marxist account of labour value and class connects to the contingent politics of populism. Hegemony and the Politics of Labour is an original and important contribution to the fields of discourse theory and critique of political economy. | Hegemony and the Politics of Labour Towards a Discourse Theory of Value in Contemporary Capitalism

Literature and Understanding The Value of a Close Reading of Literary Texts

Literature and Understanding The Value of a Close Reading of Literary Texts

Literature and Understanding investigates the cognitive gain from literature by focussing on a reader’s close analysis of a literary text. It examines the meaning of ‘literature’ outlines the most prominent positions in the literary cognitivism debate explores the practice of close reading from a philosophical perspective provides a fresh account of what we mean by ‘understanding’ and in so doing opens up a new area of research in the philosophy of literature. This book provides a different reply to the challenge that we can’t learn anything worthwhile from reading literary fiction. It makes the innovative case that reading literary fiction as literature rather than as fiction stimulates five relevant senses of understanding. The book uses examples of irony metaphor play with perspective and ambiguity to illustrate this contention. Before arguing that these five senses of understanding bridge the gap between our understanding of a literary text and our understanding of the world beyond that text. The book will be of great interest for researchers scholars and post-graduate students in the fields of aesthetics literary theory literature in education and pedagogy. | Literature and Understanding The Value of a Close Reading of Literary Texts
