Gigantes da tecnologia como Facebook, Amazon e Google podem coletar dados de bilhões de usuários em tempo real. Para empresas que projetam e fabricam produtos físicos, esse tipo de informação fluida e rica em dados costumava ser uma utopia. Agora, com o surgimento de sensores, softwares e funcionalidades telemáticas em tempo real, baratos e poderosos, da supercomputação e da inteligência artificial, rapidamente o cenário está mudando. Em Estratégia de Fusão, o renomado guru de inovação Vijay Govindarajan e o especialista em estratégia digital Venkat Venkatraman oferecem um manual inédito que ajudará as empresas industriais a unirem o que fazem de melhor – criar produtos físicos – com o que os digitais fazem de melhor – usar algoritmos e IA para analisar conjuntos de dados expansivos e interconectados – para fazer conexões estratégicas que, de outra forma, seriam impossíveis.

At the intersection of reverse innovation and design thinking, you can find opportunities to create innovations that are Global by Design. We are living in an era when innovators must turn their sights to the global stage as never before, to both solve wicked problems facing the world and capture the economic opportunities presented by emerging markets. Thoughtful, innovative solutions can be truly global in scope, providing the value necessary for large-scale adoption in developing countries and disrupting equivalent products in wealthy markets by offering high performance at low cost. But it will require a diligent, targeted design process to make these innovation growth opportunities a reality, and Winter and Govindarajan deliver the practical approach you need in Global by Design. A book born from the mutual appreciation, and interdependence, of their backgrounds—Winter is a rock star in engineering design and Govindarajan a longtime leading expert on strategy and innovation—Global by Design provides what you need to get started, whether you work in a C-suite, an engineering cubicle, the workshop floor, a classroom, the halls of government, or an NGO field office. No matter your discipline, level of training, or location in the world, you have valuable knowledge and perspective that can be leveraged to spot consequential problems, leverage innovation to solve them, and create an ecosystem for driving the creation of high-value, low-cost solutions that have global appeal—that are Global by Design.

Il est un fait incontestable - la presse en témoigne régulièrement : la plupart des grandes entreprises avouent que leur système d'analyse des coûts est obsolète. John K. Shank et Vijay Govindarajan proposent une alternative pertinente à en croire le grand succès que leur livre a remporté aux Etats-Unis. Convaincus que l'intégration de considération stratégiques dans l'analyse des coûts est un prolongement parfaitement logique qui n'a que trop tardé, les auteurs portent un autre regard sur l'analyse des coûts. Le concept nouveau de la Gestion Stratégique des Coûts (GSC) repose sur trois thèmes clés, autour desquels s'articule l'ouvrage : - la chaîne de valeur - le positionnement stratégique - les déterminants de coûts La richesse de ce livre tient à l'abondance et à la diversité des illustrations. On y trouve des cas réels, reposant sur des états financiers publiés (AT&T. NYNEX et IBM pour l'industrie des télécommunications/United Airlines et People Express pour le transport aérien), des études de terrain et des cas fictifs dans des secteurs très variés. Tous ces exemples montrent que les approches classiques (même les plus récentes) de calcul du coût de revient peuvent donner une image totalement fausse de la rentabilité d'un produit. Traditionnellement, l'analyse des coûts apparaît comme le processus qui permet d'évaluer l'impact financier des différentes options entre lesquelles les responsables doivent faire un choix. La GSC est différente en ce sens qu'elle s'inscrit dans un contexte plus large, où les éléments stratégiques deviennent plus conscients, explicites et formels. Les données concernant les coûts servent à formuler des stratégies plus pointues pour acquérir un avantage concurrentiel durable. Outre les responsables financiers et les contrôleurs de gestion, ce livre s'adresse aux responsables fonctionnels - marketing, production, technologie, ressources humaines - qui doivent prendre des décisions opérationnelles fondées sur une analyse des coûts fiable.

Although most manufacturers are beginning to flirt with digital technologies, not one has successfully pulled off a digital transformation. CEOs still have to figure out its art - and science - forcing them to draw up their game plans on the fly, which inevitably leads to tension and trauma. But they are learning. Here's how GE has navigated its own digital transformation process.

Opening phase of a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) model derived from a patient specific data and a pericardial bioprosthetic valve model were simulated using the FSI algorithm with realistic material parameters under physiological flow conditions. It was observed that the valves attained its fully open position under 35 milliseconds which is similar to the physiological opening. The bioprosthetic valve attained a fully circular orifice while the BAV attained an ellipsoidal shaped orifice at its fully open position. In the BAV, strong vortical patterns were observed at peak systole and recirculation zones were observed near the sino-tubular junction. The work presented in this thesis be seen as a platform from which complex patient specific data can be modeled under physiological conditions and as a base to include contact mechanics with which complete cardiac cycle can be simulated.
