I’m not calling today about the competition we are holding for Reinventing Cities here in Lambrate - I am calling to ask you if you would like it if we had a dialogue together on the Heteronomy of Architecture. Benedetta Tagliabue: Hello Matteo! Don’t even talk about it, everything is so sad. You know just how important it is for me to travel and meet people all the time... in person. Dialogue? Absolutely! But... what is this “heteronomy”? You don’t mean it’s something that excludes someone? You know I don’t like it...   M.R. Come on, we’ve known each other for years! Look, it’s exactly the opposite. A very interesting concept which Giancarlo De Carlo summed up well in a sentence I am going to read to you. «As you can tell as you listen, one cannot help but think of your way of knowing, investigating and reading the places and cities in which you design. It is also impossible not to think of how you live together with others, and how this has always been the way you live architecture on a daily basis, and how you know how to transmit it and build it together with all the people you meet: collaborators, citizens, users, clients, politicians, artists, producers of materials, craftsmen, friends, etc. [...]». B.T. Oh well... I was actually joking a bit, you know it amuses me. I remembered this idea of Giancarlo’s from when I was studying at the Faculty of Architecture in Venice, and I was struck by his strength and energy in knowing how to interpret it at its best and translate it into splendid practice on many occasions. Thank you also for your kind words, it was so kind of you to have thought of me. It certainly is an interesting theme to delve into in a monographic issue of a magazine, and I would like to congratulate those who thought of it. So... Yes, I like it: let’s dialogue! You already know that we’ll have to talk again a few times. M.R. Of course I know... it’s always a great pleasure!

ResumoO advento da globalização, especificamente, no que se refere à esfera empresarial permitiu a adoção de importantes mudanças em se tratando da gestão administrativa das empresas. Tais mudanças se referem, principalmente, à forma como se encaram as pessoas que compõem as empresas. Acredita-se que sejam as pessoas a parte essencial de todas as empresas. Este artigo pretendeu discutir sobre a importância das pessoas, bem como de saber qual a forma de lidar com elas e como isto pode influenciar, positiva ou negativamente, nos resultados das empresas. Assim, observa-se que para gerir as pessoas não se deve ter apenas visão mecanicista ou mesmo metódica, é necessário que se discuta e compreendam as diferenças existentes entre técnicas obsoletas antigas e as modernas, que atuam conjuntamente com uma gestão eficaz. Precisa ser resgatado o papel que o ser humano representa dentro das organizações quanto a sua atuação nas atividades que executa como colaboradores dentro das empresas. Tal atitude, por parte das organizações, lhes permitirá ver que o capital humano poderá ser o seu grande diferencial em se tratando de competitividade. Diante do exposto, o artigo foi desenvolvido baseado em diversas literaturas bibliográficas, apresentando uma análise da importância da gestão de pessoas para as organizações, bem como demonstrar o quanto elas possuem um reflexo positivo nos resultados finais das empresas. Afinal, quando uma gestão de pessoas é eficaz, aliada ao processo de gestão da inovação e conhecimento terá condição de garantir muitas vantagens competitivas, que podem ser difíceis ou mesmo impossíveis de serem copiadas pelas empresas concorrentes. Palavras-chave: Empresa. Gestão de Pessoas. Globalização. Resultado. AbstractThe advent of globalization, specifically regarding the business sphere, has allowed the adoption of important changes in the companies administrative management. These changes are mainly related to the way the people who make up the companies are viewed. It is believed that people are the essential part of all businesses. This article aimed to discuss the people’s importance as well as to know how to deal with them and how this can influence positively or negatively in the companies' results. Thus, it should be noted that in order to manage people one should not only have a mechanistic or even methodical view, it is necessary to discuss and understand the differences between old and modern obsolete techniques that work together with effective management. The role needs to be rescued that the human being represents within the organizations as to their performance in the activities that perform as collaborators within the companies. Such an attitude on the part of the organizations will allow them to see that human capital can be their great differential when it comes to competitiveness. Considering the above, the article sought based on several bibliographical literatures, present an analysis of the importance of people management for organizations, as well as demonstrate how they have a positive reflection on the companies' final results. After all, when people management is effective, allied to the process of managing innovation and knowledge will be able to guarantee many competitive advantages that may be difficult or even impossible to be copied by the competing companies.

It is with great pleasure that we publish the first ten articles of JISIB. The articles represent a broad collection of topics from within the discipline of Intelligence Studies. There is a, we think, a balance in this issue between more managerial and more technical aspects of Intelligence Studies. In today’s world, intelligence problems are more often solved with the help of software and technical tools. It is no longer the case in organizations that managers work only with managerial aspects and technicians with technical aspects. Instead it has become a requirement that each group know a bit of both. Managers need to know how to operate software and new technical equipment and technicians need to know about the needs of end-users to be of value. This does not mean that professional specialties are about to disappear. It is more a sign that information technology is getting a tighter grip around the way we build successful organizations. Any study of intelligence with the aim to be relevant needs to reflect this.

The more intensively one tries to study the interesting phenomena of direct legislation the more humble does he become. To look closely, for example, at the two hundred and ninety-one constitutional and legislative measures which the people of thirty-two States voted upon in 1914 is to be impressed with the number and significance of the things about that remarkable election which one cannot possibly know. How superficial at best must be our insight into that complex of social, political, economic and human forces which lay back of the presentation of those measures and the popular decision upon them. It is in full realization of the peril which lies in the way of sweeping classifications and glib generalizations that the conclusions drawn in the course of this brief discussion of the recent experience with the initiative and referendum petition are offered with considerable hesitancy.

The paper discusses and critiques the concept of the single engineering paradigm. This concepts allude to a future in which the control of matter and life, and life as matter, will be achieved by applying engineering principles; through nanotechnology, synthetic biology and, as some suggest, geo-engineering, cognitive engineering and neuro-engineering. We outline some issues in the short history of the field labelled as Synthetic Biology. Furthermore; we examine the way engineers, scientists, designers and artists are positioned and articulating the use of the tools of Synthetic Biology to expose some of the philosophical, ethical and political forces and considerations of today as well as some future scenarios. We suggest that one way to enable the possibilities of alternative frames of thought is to open up the know-how and the access to these technologies to other disciplines, including artistic.

Crisis Situations

The book of Jeremiah reflects a particular period in the history of Judah, certain theological perspectives and a particular portrayal of the prophet Jeremiah. Covenant theology played a major role in Jeremiah’s view of life and determined his expectations of leaders and ordinary people. He placed high value on justice and trustworthiness, and people who did not adhere to this would in his view bear the consequences of disobedience to Yahweh’s moral demands and unfaithfulness. The prophet expected those in positions of leadership to adhere to certain ethical obligations as is clear from most of the nouns which appear in Jeremiah 5:1–6. This article argues that crisis situations in history affect leaders’ communication, attitudes and responses. Leaders’ worldviews and ideologies play a definitive role in their responses to crises. Jeremiah’s religious views are reflected in his criticism and demands of people in his society. This is also true as seen from the way the people and leaders in Judah responded to the prophet’s proclamation. Jeremiah 5:1–6 emphasises that knowledge and accountability are expected of leaders at all times, but in particular during unstable political times.

We are witnessing how new technologies are radically changing the design of organizations, the way in which they produce and manage both their objectives and their strategies, and -above all- how digital transformation impacts the people who are part of it. Even today in our country, many organizations think that digitalizing is having a presence on social networks, a web page or venturing into cases of success in corporate social intranet. Others begin to invest a large part of their budget in training their teams and adapting them to the digital age. But given this current scenario, do we know exactly what the digital transformation of organizations means? It is necessary? Implying? Is there a roadmap to follow that leads to the success of this process? How are organizations that have been born 100% digital from their business conception to the way of producing services through the use of platforms? What role does the organizational culture play in this scenario? The challenge of the digital transformation of businesses and organizations, which is part of the paradigm of the industrial revolution 4.0, is happening here and now in all types of organizations, whether are they private, public or third sector. The challenge to take into account in this process is to identify the digital competences that each worker must face in order to accompany these changes and not be left out of it. In this sense, the present work seeks to analyze the main characteristics of the current technological advances that make up the digital transformation of organizations and how they must be accompanied by a digital culture and skills that allow their successful development. In order to approach this project, we will carry out an exploratory research, collecting data from the sector of new actors in the world of work such as employment platforms in its various areas (gastronomy, delivery, transportation, recreation, domestic service, etc) and an analysis of the main technological changes that impact on the digital transformation of organizations in Argentina.

The Way

Until the last two decades, the global perception of how to control our various water bodies was remarkably similar – water management was organised on a sectoral basis, as it always had been. It was only in the 1970s that the people actually responsible for implementing water management began to become aware of the serious implications of such an approach: water quality deterioration, desiccation and an alarming loss of the flora and fauna that characterised their local water environment. It was a growing awareness that led to the formation of the concept of integrated water management, a concept almost universally accepted today as the way forward. However, despite the fact that few dispute the validity of the concept, a number of obstacles remain before this theoretical agreement can be transformed into practical action. Three main bottlenecks stand in the way of implementation: institutional, communicational and socio-political. Whilst solutions to these are available, the key question still to be answered is whether society is really prepared to accept the consequent changes in the way we live that will result from putting the theory of integrated water management into practice. It was this issue that dominated the “Living with water” conference held in Amsterdam in September 1994. The following is a summary of the discussions held there and the various papers that were submitted.

The Impact

The Right to Information Act 2005 was passed by the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) Government with a sense of pride. It flaunted the Act as a milestone in India’s democratic journey. It is five years since the RTI was passed; the performance on the implementation frontis far from perfect. Consequently, the impact on the attitude, mindset and behaviour patterns of the public authorities and the people is not as it was expected to be. Most of the people are still not aware of their newly acquired power. Among those who are aware, a major chunk either does not know how to wield it or lacks the guts and gumption to invoke the RTI. A little more stimulation by the Government, NGOs and other enlightened and empowered citizens can augment the benefits of this Act manifold. RTI will help not only in mitigating corruption in public life but also in alleviating poverty- the two monstrous maladies of India.

As the final chapter of the book, Chapter 10 confronts the limits of an imagination that is constitutional and constituent, as well as (e)utopian—oriented towards concrete visions of a better life. In doing so, the chapter confronts the role of Square, Triangle, and Circle—which subtly affect the way we think about legal hierarchy, popular sovereignty, and collective self-government. Building on that discussion, the chapter confronts the relationship between circularity, transparency, and iconography of ‘paradoxical’ origins of democratic constitutions. These representations are part of a broader morphology of imaginative obstacles that stand in the way of a more expansive constituent imagination. The second part of the chapter focuses on the most important five—Anathema, Nebula, Utopia, Aporia, and Tabula—and closes with the discussion of Ernst Bloch’s ‘wishful images’ and the ways in which manifold ‘diagrams of hope and purpose’ beyond the people may help make them attractive again.
