Adapt - últimos recortes

"Disruptive innovations are disruptive precisely because the new technology doesn’t appeal to the traditional customers: it is different and for their purposes, it’s inferior. But for a small niche of new customers the new disruptive product is exactly what is needed.
...
The problem for a market leader in the old technology is not necessarily that it lacks the capacity to innovate, but that it lacks the will. When a disruptive technology appears, it may confound an existing player because the technology itself is so radically different
...
More often, Christensen found, the problem was not technological but psychological and organisational: it is hard for a major organisation to pay much attention to a piddling new idea that makes little money and invites a yawn or a blank stare from important customers."

Eheheh... e quem é que recebe os apoios e subsídios?

.

A empresa grande, onde mais postos de trabalho estão em risco, onde há toda uma autoridade da tradição, do que sempre funcionou, sempre foi assim que fizemos... ou o tiro no escuro?

"While denial is the process of refusing to acknowledge a mistake, and loss-chasing is the process of causing more damage while trying to hastily erase the mistake, hedonic editing is a subtler process of convincing ourselves that the mistake doesn’t matter. One way we do this is by bundling together losses with gains, like a child trying to eat some disliked healthy foodstuff by mashing it up with something tasty until the whole mess is palatable but unrecognisable. (Moi ici: Faz lembrar a última entrevista de Vitor Gaspar e a sua afirmação sobre o Estado Social)

...

A different psychological process, but with a similar effect on our ability to learn from our mistakes, is simply to reinterpret our failures as successes. We persuade ourselves that what we did was not that bad; in fact, everything worked out for the best."  (Moi ici: Faz lembrar Cravinho, Paulo Campos, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, ...)

Sim... viver sob o poder de um Estado cada vez maior... sob a ilusão que a informática tudo resolve... oh boy! Kafka is so much alive! Kafka rules!!!
