Tomorrow's business winners need two things: scale and agility. The answer to both is design. For over a century, The Coca-Cola Company has used design to scale its flagship brand to over 200 countries. And in recent years it has sustained that growth while becoming even more agile - something most established businesses struggle with. In Design to Grow, Coca-Cola's vice president of Innovation and Entrepreneurship David Butler gives an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at Coca-Cola's design-led strategy for growth. He shows how any business can use the same approach to get to the next level. Clear and actionable, this book is a must-read for leaders, creatives and entrepreneurs. 'A handy blueprint for how any company can use design to stay ahead of the competition' The Times 'Reading Design to Grow has caused me to think differently about my company. I am confident it will do the same for how you think about yours' Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO

Water Management Challenges in Global Change contains the proceedings of the 9th Computing and Control for the Water Industry (CCWI2007) and the Sustainable Urban Water Management (SUWM2007) conferences. The rationale behind these conferences is to improve the management of urban water systems through the development of computerbased methods. Issues such as economic globalisation, climate changes and water shortages call for a new approach to water systems management, which addresses the relevant technical, social and economic aspects. This collection represents the views of academic and industrial experts from a number of countries, who provide technical solutions to current water management problems and present a vision for addressing the global questions. The themes underlying many of the contributions include energy and material savings, water savings and the integration of different aspects of water management. The papers are grouped into three themes covering water distribution systems, sustainable urban water management and modelling of wastewater treatment plants. The water distribution topics cover asset and information management, planning, monitoring and control, hydraulic modelling of steady state and transients, water quality and treatment, demand and leakage management, optimisation, design and decision support systems, as well as reliability and security of water distribution systems. The sustainable urban water management topics include urban drainage systems, water reuse, social aspects of water management and also selected facets of water resources and irrigation. Computer control of wastewater treatment plants has been seen as less advanced than that of clean water systems. To address this imbalance, this book presents a number of modelling techniques developed specifically for these plants. Water Management Challenges in Global Change will prove to be invaluable to water and environmental engineering researchers and academics; managers, engineers and planners; and postgraduate students.

Wie schafft es eine seit hundert Jahren bestehende globale Marke relevant zu bleiben? Die Antwort: durch lineares Wachstum und Wendigkeit. Das sind die beiden Grundzutaten, die jedes Unternehmen benötigt, um weiter zu wachsen. Und genau davon handelt dieses Buch. Davon, wie die Coca-Cola Company das Mittel der Gestaltung und des Designs nutzt, um zu wachsen. Und wie jedes andere Unternehmen – ganz gleich, wie groß, aus welcher Branche oder an welchem Ort – es dem Getränkehersteller gleichtun kann. David Butler ist seit 2004 bei der Coca-Cola Company verantwortlich für diesen Prozess. Er übersetzt die oft verwirrende Sprache des Designs in klar verständliche Prinzipien. Gleichzeitig gibt er Beispiele aus vielen Unternehmensbereichen – Mangoanbau in Kenia, Werbung in Kapstadt, Verpackung in Tokyo. Die Geschichten sind Coca-Cola-spezifisch, die Probleme, die sie illustrieren, sind universell.

The British General Election of 1979

Don Merton

How can you save a bird species from extinction when there are only five individuals left, with just one breeding pair? That was the problem that faced a team from the New Zealand Wildlife Service in 1980, when the outlook for the Chatham Island black robin seemed desperate. Don Merton and his team took the daring step of cross-fostering eggs and young to another species to boost productivity and it worked. A pair of robins, Old Blue and Old Yellow, with the help of Merton and his team and the foster species, the Chatham Island tits, saved the species. Now, more than ten years later, there are over 100 birds. or those involved with the management of endangered species, it demonstrates that recovery is possible even in the most extreme case. The innovative techniques developed for the black robin programme are here described in detail for the first time so that other wildlife biologists can adapt them to their needs.
