This book documents a paradigm shift, not only in the sciences but also in society. Everywhere in society systems are becoming networks. This implies not only a new understanding of social science but also of society and ourselves. The book describes the systems model based on Luhmann's theory of social systems and compares this to Latour's actor-network theory. It argues that present day society cannot be successfully modeled as a system and illustrates the transformation to a global network society by citing many examples from business, education, and healthcare. The authors argue that actor-network theory provides a more comprehensive account of these changes than systems theory. Based on actor-network theory, they propose a theory of the "digital transformation" that is ushering in the global network society.Although people in all areas talk about systems, adaptive behavior, evolution, complexity, and networks, few know where these concepts come from, and what they mean in the theories they belong to. This book is for all who are concerned with clarifying the often taken-for-granted assumptions and concepts that are implicitly or explicitly derived from systems theory and network theory. It offers an introduction to the work of Luhmann and Latour and a critical and constructive development of these important theories for the 21stcentury.

Since its introduction by Kaplan and Norton in 1992, the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) has gradually been adopted as a fundamental system of management by many organisations. Because the BSC is mainly designed for large companies in developed countries, there is a question of its successful application in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), especially those in developing countries. As there is little research in this area, this book is designed to fill that gap.In this book, Vietnamese SMEs are used as the central study cases for the application of BSC. Such a system enables SMEs to meet their management needs more quickly. Lessons learned in this study can be extended not only to other Vietnamese SMEs but also to firms in other countries with similar economic conditions. The book will also provide an improved understanding on factors influencing the adopting process.

A fierce tremor shot through her body, causing her to shiver in anticipation as she stepped towards him. She knew what to expect, and made no protest as he took her arm and pulled her facedown across his lap. She felt his fingers on the smooth skin of her thighs, and shivered again as his hand slid up beneath her skirt. With a decisive gesture he flipped it back, exposing her bottom, and she bit her lip to contain a moan of excited fear. He caressed her buttocks, smoothing the silk seat of her panties over her soft round orbs. She squirmed. 'And so you might, you little minx, ' he whispered...

"Ludovico" is a novel with which William Castaño-Bedoya surprises us, reaffirming his talents as a recreator of human depth."Ludovico" demonstrates the great impact of frustration and its generalities, and how impotence and fate recreate the absurd and the uncertain. William manages to stage the impact of the arrival of beings with differences to the spectrum of normality that is commonly known. Ludovico would not have been possible if the author had not studied similar characters for many years before undertaking the work of his novel.At first, the reader may think that Ludovico is a character who intends to show us his limited and boring world, but as the story progresses, we discover a primary and elementary orb that does not lack its interpretations, its feelings, its compassion, and its passions. However, the reader faces the great and painful paradox of this novel, which Ludovico suffers and tells unconsciously. The drama of his life, restricted by his poor comprehension, his disobedient vision, and his clumsy ear, condemns him to a fractional understanding that he tries to fill with his fantasy. The story of the one who carries within him an unopened irony and whose simplicity leads us unexpectedly to the borders of laughter and crying.
