- Value creation versus value capture : towards a coherent definition of value in strategy - an exploratory study by Cliff Bowman and Wronique Ambrosini, Cranfield S chool of Management 1998
- "An underlying theme of the paper is that appearances often prevent us from identifying the essential relationships between economic actors, and that many of the problems and confusion in mainstream economic theorising stem from the inability to separate these two levels of analysis." (p5)
- "labour is the source of firm heterogeneity and hence can be the source of value." (p12)
- "value is perceived by the customer and all purchases are subjectively assessed, even purchases of resource inputs." (p14)
- "all firms that sell anything possess a temporal advantage. Value or consumer surplus is created by the artful deployment of the heterogeneous actions of labour with other resources." (p14)
- "it is the nature of the employment relationship, the trading of labour power not labour output, and the appearance of homogeneity of labour power that enables the firm owners to capture value created by the sellers of labour power." (p21)
- "A common theme in these theories [on profits] is the need to explain profits as some sort of reward for something that is done for the good of economic society." (p22)
- "it is only where the entrepreneur deems it necessary to invest at a rate that cannot be sustained from his own funds that external fund providers enter the picture." (p24)
- "although the physical contribution of money capital is homogeneous, its restricted supply gives its owners power to capture a share of the value created by the firm." (p24)
- "The appearance is that suppliers of money capital create value. This is compounded ideologically with the notion of risk, and ‘rewards’ for risk bearing." (p25)
- "Resources per se are not the source of profits; it is their artful deployment that mobilises them to exploit market opportunities in cost efficient ways that is the source of temporal monopoly profits." (p26)
- "Although artful deployment is the source of value, bargaining relationships determine the capture of value. Profit is value captured by the firm." (p26)
- thus skills on negociation, arbitrage and up to date knowledge
- overall concluding on an (neo-classically) idealized view of economics
- mentions of Porter, Schumpeter, ...

- "Anyone who doubts that policy can spur innovation should look at [...] the number of patents for certain technologies used to mitigate climate change climbed worldwide."
- that's supposing that
- innovation is positively correlated with the total number of patents despite IP portfolio strategies
- patents are more that minor improvements (as requested by the official patent requirements)
- each patent leads to an actual used product which is itself ecological sound (rather that just providing an economical return on investment) in that specific context

- Your Brain at Work by David Rock, Google Tech Talks 2009
- The rational is overrated
- ~min11 "You need to be able to notice the spikes in dopamine to be able to notice information [...] with a loud brain all the time you are not allowed to see the subtle signals, don't come with a quiet cellphone at a loud party [...] The ability to have these insights very much comes to this ability to quiet down your overall mental activity at anytime. Those people with a strong cognitive control have a lot more insights."
- negative correlation between insights and stress/anxiety
- ~min14 mention of Wikipedia:Flow (Psychology)
- We've got emotions backward (cf MyBeliefs)
- ~min22 "bad gets attention" through the limbic system
- threat response >> reward response
- linking again problem solving and insights (requiring quietness) with being in a safe environment
- ~min27 emotional labeling in a word or two without going through the story
- automatically putting the stress response down
- even more effective by saying it aloud yet could be maladaptive in the workplace
- ~min29 reappraisal, reinterpreting an event, reframing
- ~min31 "The more you understand about your brain, the more you can actually reappraise all sort of internal strong threats that come along. [...] You can actually recognize internal experiences and reappraise them as brain functioning not you, as things that you can change, you change the interpretation and you shift from a threat state toward to ones where you see more options."
- see also Health#Mood listing multiple mood trackers
- Social issues are primary (cf Person)
- ~min33 flipping up Maslow's pyramid of needs as social needs, for the brain, are way more important
- justified by getting resources since the moment you are born not on your own but through social interactions with other human beings
- Status, Certainty, Autonomy (number of choices), Relatedness (in-group vs out-group), Fairness should be tweaked to improve reward for oneself but other to interact with
- Attention changes the brain (cf Cognition#GoalFocusAttention)
- ~min46 "develop the capacity to control your attention"
- make attentional choices
- see also Meditation
- conclusion on the importance of understanding how the brain works
- if attention and other resources are limited, should we managed them as such?
