TL;DR: Brown as mentioned in this paper discusses how market leaders from Disney to Nike successfully target human emotions and how other companies can join them, revealing the future of business after the Information Age, a future in which the story behind the product will provide the competitive edge.
Abstract: This title shows how market leaders from Disney to Nike successfully target human emotions - and how other companies can join them. "The Dream Society" reveals the future of business after the Information Age, a future in which the story behind the product will provide the competitive edge. It provides insights into the six major markets that target our basic emotional needs, and discusses how organizations from Disney and Nike to Rolex are supplying information to help consumers satisfy those needs. Thought-provoking and timely, it details the ways in which today's dream society trades on the exciting world of human potential and dreams - and what organizations must do to keep from being left behind.Praise for "The Dream Society": 'A riveting essay on the demands for goods and services ...Well presented and organized, this is highly recommended for academic and corporate libraries' -"Library Journal". 'The Dream Society is a fresh new way to look at the future and at how businesses need to transform themselves in order to prosper in the 21st century' - Arnold Brown, Noted futurist, Weiner, Edrich, Brown, Inc. 'Stories have always been the key motivation in making a purchase, fixing a deal, and raising one's level of effectiveness in the world. In the future, leaders will have to become storytellers first and managers second. Rolf Jensen is pointing the way to the future' - Harriet Rubin, Author, "The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women".

TL;DR: Fururism is the art of the proletariat as discussed by the authors, and it would be extremely flippant to establish by analogies and comparisons the identity of Futurism and Communism.
Abstract: Articles are continually being published on the complete futility and on the counterrevolutionary character of Futurism between covers made by the hand of the Construetivist. In the most official editions, Futurist poems are published side by side with the most destructive summings up of Futurism. But one can say with certainty that much in Futurism will be useful and will serve to elevate and to revive art, if Futurism will learn to stand on its own legs, without any attempt to have itself decreed official by the government, as happened in the beginning of the Revolution. The Proletkult is united to the Futurists by living cords. It would be extremely flippant to establish by analogies and comparisons the identity of Futurism and Communism, and so form the deduction that Futurism is the art of the proletariat. In the evolution of that art, Futurism will prove to have been a necessary link.

TL;DR: The authors re-examines the Futurist Moment in the light of a new century, in which Futurists seem to have steadily more to say to the present. But it is difficult to trace the trajectory of the moment's impulses and operations, tracing its echoes through the years to the work of "postmodern" figures like Roland Barthes.
Abstract: Marjorie Perloff's stunning book was one of the first to offer a serious and far-reaching examination of the momentous flourishing of Futurist aesthetics in the European art and literature of the early twentieth century. Offering penetrating considerations of the prose, visual art, poetry, and carefully crafted manifestos of Futurists from Russia to Italy, Perloff reveals the Moment's impulses and operations, tracing its echoes through the years to the work of "postmodern" figures like Roland Barthes. This updated edition, with its new preface, reexamines the Futurist Moment in the light of a new century, in which Futurist aesthetics seem to have steadily more to say to the present.

TL;DR: In this article, the teleworking means of flexible working is explored and an assessment is made of its growth, advantages and disadvantages, implementation programs for successful teleworking and a case assessing the advances that BT plc have made in becoming a teleworking organization.
Abstract: Of all the changes in work over the last century, arguably the greatest impact upon the way work is done can be attributed to the exponential growth of flexible working patterns. The basis of flexible working is captured by a BT plc strap‐line: work is not a place where you go but rather something you do! As the renowned futurist, Alvin Toffler, has indicated – “work is not necessarily going to take place in offices or factories. It is going to take place everywhere, anytime” (Toffler, A., The Third Wave, Morrow, New York, NY, 1980). There is a wealth of guidance available on how to improve the flexibility available within organizations from the enormous range of “flexible working solutions” books through to the consultancies that now include flexible working as prominent packages in their service portfolio. In this paper, the teleworking means of flexible working is explored and an assessment is made of its growth, advantages and disadvantages, implementation programs for successful teleworking and a case assessing the advances that BT plc have made in becoming a teleworking organization.
