New Framework

Scholars and practitioners have proposed different frameworks to make business model representation easier. However, more information is still required to understand their applicability, especially concerning value perspective. This chapter focus on three of them: the Choices/Consequences, the RCOV, and the Business Model Canvas. This chapter (1) provides a comparative analysis; (2) discusses their design under the concept of value creation; (3) synthesises a new structure which contemplates their core elements, goes beyond their limitations and constitutes an alternative and useful tool. The new framework is called ‘(the) value of choice's (VoC). It points out – but is not limited to – the value offering architecture and enables strategic analysts to keep focus on a broad range of value outcomes: created value, appropriated value, generative value, and distributed value. The VoC is illustrated with a Brazilian tourism company's case.

Black Life

This chapter examines the mass movement of southern African Americans to Northern cities in the first half of the twentieth century and shows how it dramatically altered the Black Press. After 1920, black newspaper editors covered more news that they believed would appeal to working-class African Americans. In charting the development of the early-twentieth-century Black Press, chapter 1 presents a comparative analysis of five different newspapers: The Amsterdam News, The Baltimore Afro-American, The Chicago Defender, The Philadelphia Tribune, and the Pittsburgh Courier. These five newspapers demonstrate how the Black Press fostered and imagined an African American readership’s interest in sexuality through its sensational coverage of the variegations of black life throughout the 1920s and 1930s.

The Relationship

The book closes with a study of the only extant Nasrid account of the Alhambra, Ibn al-Khaṭïb's text on the mawlid, the commemoration of the birth of the Prophet. The chapter begins with a comparative analysis of mawlid celebrations in other medieval Muslim courts focusing on the role of processions and threshold spaces, such as discussed in chapter 2. Ibn al-Khaṭïb also describes a royal tent, now lost, but refrained here, in light of chapter 4, as a case of textile architecture. The key to the analysis of the text, then, is the inter-medial relationship between the temporary tent and the permanent buildings as a ceremonial setting. This temporal dimension was thematized in the "poems of the hours" recited to measure the time of the event, elucidated here in connection with the poetic figures studied in chapter 3; as an instance of the relationship between static and kinetic elements introduced in chapter 1 ; and, further, with respect to the political and ideological dimensions of the ceremonial. Ibn al-Khaṭïb's account thus testifies to the inter-medial conception of space: an integrated aesthetic experience of architecture, poetry and textiles in the court ceremonial of the Alhambra.

New Approach

The integrated aesthetic articulated in chapter 3 grounds a new approach to the Patio of Comares and its enigmatic façade. The chapter begins with a historical overview of poetic inscriptions on Islamic luxury textiles, which points to an intersection between a specific type of Nasrid textiles and an ingenious Andalusian poetic genre, both designated by the term muwashshaḥāt. Shared constitutive features allow those textiles to inform the understanding of the poetry and the reverse, and, moreover, their interrelationship further serves to illuminate architecture. The theoretical argument, reinforced by Ibn al-Haytham's optics discussed in chapter 1, leads to a historical hypothesis: the use of textiles to design inter-medial spaces in the Alhambra, belied by the absence of furnishings in situ today. Supporting evidence from other Islamic sites is adduced. A comparative analysis of the Façade of Comares and the Nasrid textiles known as "Alhambra silks" exemplifies the concept of visual harmony as a design principle. The conclusion proposes a further dimension of the inter-medial relationship through the concept of "textile architecture," that is the temporary deployment of large-scale textiles with architectural functions, in order to reframe the ceremonial use of the Patio of Comares.

Taxation System

The article examines the issue of choosing a different taxation regime by organizations in connection with the abolition of Chapter 1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation regulating the UTII system on January 2021, 26.3. For a significant part of organizations using this system, the transition is clear – a simplified taxation system, provided that the criterion of the maximum size for income and the residual value of depreciable property is met. Under this regime, the taxpayer will have to decide on the choice of the object of taxation, for which the article proposes an algorithm for calculations and comparative analysis.
