Synopses & Reviews
Irrespective of the interdisciplinary, epistemological, pedagogical or etymological differences in the interpretation of leadership, technological situational happenstances (TSH) is cognitively and effectively used as a trajectory toward transformation of various leadership styles. Commonalities and differences existed in Bass' (1985, 1996, 1997) and Burns' (1978, 2002, 2003, 2006) leadership theories. Some scholars harbor crotchetiness to Bass' and Burns' theories (Keeley, 1995; Mckendall, 1993; Snyder, 1987; White & Wooten, 1986). Other scholars constructively remained neutral to Bass' and Burns' theories (Dmitry, 2007; Yukl, 2006). Without leaders deploying TSH in organizations, information could be distorted and degraded from reaching strategic and tactical planners. Technologies embedded in TSH are used to analyze, synthesize, and triangulate the United States real estate historical trends from 1880s to present. The financial mortgage institutions' unquenchable greed and unethical behaviors of granting mortgage loans to unqualified applicants resulted in toxic documents that cascaded the United States' economy into recession. Bank of America, Merrill Lynch Company, General Motors, and other company's 2nd quarter earnings in 2010 revealed the signs of a painful economic recovery in the United States (Aluya, 2008 & 2010; Austums, 2008; Cho, 2007).Smart analytic sensors reporting and managing technologies that are nonlinear and disruptive in nature now used to reset the industrial standards. Organizations in the 20th century used TSH to reset customers' expectations and creates competitive advantages. Experts concurred that TSH were used to shift the market forces in favor of the disruptors (Babcock, 2009; Dzubeck, 2008; Kelly, 2010; Ritorto, 2010; Yitts, 2006). AOL Time Warner, Hewlett-Packard, UPS, Nokia, and Yahoo were used as case studies. TSH removed the dearth from the anchored business model. Cloud computing and planetary computing introduced to learners in this book.
Synopsis
This revised edition explains various archetypes of deft leaderships. Deft leaders were collaborating seamlessly and synergistically with the data analysts (DA), data scientists (DS) and information analysts (IA) in maximizing organizational profit. Examined at the background was the germinal convoluted and obscured meaning of the various leadership styles. Catechized and introduced was the internet of things (IoT) and industrial internet of things (IIoT). Analyzed and presented were the epochs of the real estate trends from the 1800s to the 21st century. Holistically explored was why the United States economic cyclical peaks and troughs have occurred more than ten times since the last black Friday of the 1929. Despite the sophisticated Wall Street's financial experts and wizardry, these cyclical circles would continue particularly in the United States and within the global macro-economics in general. Examples were expounded from the prism of scholastic contra-suppositions in this opus that supported these accessions. Most significantly, innovative leaders used analytics from insights important data extracted from big datasets via TSHs to change, gauge and predict technological pathways or trends. By so doing, these innovators disrupt the existing systems. As a result, the marketplace tectonically shifts globally in their favor. Within this stratum, big data was categorized and introduced. APPLE Corporation's used of important data gleaned from large datasets was narratively presented as a case study. Case studies of AOL Time Warner, Hewlett-Packard, UPS, reasons why Microsoft acquired Nokia and Yahoo Corporation were used to illustrate this phenomenon.
