Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity
€ 20,00The professorship Entrepreneurship in Transition has developed a philosophy to strengthen the entrepreneurial capacity of individuals, companies and regions. The philosophy assumes that successful entrepreneurship is both a personal and a collective assignment exploring possibilities. The Critical Friend Method is a working method that takes shape in multi-level and multi-disciplinary settings and can be applied to innovation, connection and entrepreneurship issues.
People are challenged to take self-direction, think critically, and take the next step.
Companies with innovation challenges can successfully use the Critical Friend Method to share knowledge bypassing potential hierarchical constraints.
Regions in the world are facing challenging transitions. Such as from linear to circular creation processes. This method contributes to the current transitions in society by promoting knowledge sharing, stories and exchange.
Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity is a handbook that provides all the tools to support this process and offers instructions that have been tested in practice for students, entrepreneurs, teachers and workplaces.The professorship Entrepreneurship in Transition is a collaboration between Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen and Alfa-college.
Het beschavingsfront
€ 19,90Een nieuwe beschavingstheorie in de traditie van Norbert Elias en Johan Goudsblom.
In de loop der eeuwen zijn we gevoeliger geworden voor het leed van de ander. Opmerkelijk genoeg zijn het juist rampen die dit sensibiliseringsproces aanjagen. Oorlogen, hongersnoden, rampen en pandemieën maken het leed van de ander zichtbaar en zetten ons zo op het spoor van meer empathie en meer beschaving.
Frank Hermans laat zien hoe dit wereldwijde beschavingsproces zich heeft voltrokken en hoe gezondheidszorg nu aan de frontlinie ligt van de oprukkende menselijkheid. Daar melden zich de slachtoffers van een chronische overbelasting van mens en milieu. Empathie met hen zal leiden tot een volgende stap in het beschavingsproces.
Frank Hermans is socioloog. Hij promoveerde aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam op het onderwerp trauma en beschaving. Hij publiceerde eerder onder meer Het mondiale beschavingsproces en De evolutie van het medeleven.
Victor Horta and the Frison House in Brussels
€ 19,90In the middle of the Lebeaustraat in Brussels, sandwiched between neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic houses, stands an Art Nouveau jewel designed by Victor Horta: the Frison House. It was
commissioned by Maurice Frison, a lawyer and friend of the architect, and was built in 1894-1895. Horta designed not only the house, but also all its furniture and decoration, right down to the smallest detail: from door handles to marble fireplaces, from mosaic floors to elegant banisters, from wall lamps to the gratings for the cellar openings. The absolute eyecatcher is the winter garden, whose elegant design allows soft yellow light to flow subtly into its perfectly proportioned space.Nupur Tron is the author of this book and owner of the house. In recent years, she has breathed new life back into Horta’s masterpiece. She pieced together bits of the old chandeliers she found in one of the cellars. She had items of furniture designed by Horta lovingly restored. With great passion, she continues to search for the funds that will allow her to restore the entire house to its former glory, one step at a time.
Horta and the Frison House in Brussels is an ode to the architect and his creation.
Nupur Tron is from India. She studied Design, Marketing & Merchandising and Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She designs jewellery, in which the different styles of east and west meet in harmony.
