Many people believe that we are now in a period of business changes as significant as those in the industrial revolution. This presentation suggested some provocative ideas about what some of these changes will be.

This paper investigates how inter-organizational learning in networks and global value chains (GVCs) has contributed to resilience Poland's food processing clothing industries. The Polish economy been widely accepted as resilient since transition from a planned market economy. Through drawing on the regional literature, this develops network-oriented framework of sectoral that integrates networ...

Boolean functions are used as nonlinear combining functions in certain stream ciphers. A Boolean function is said to be correlation immune if its output leaks no information about its input values. Balanced correlation immune functions are called resilient functions. Finding methods for easy construction of resilient functions with additional properties is an active research area. Maitra and Pa...

Field studies and laboratory experiments have documented that a key component of resilience is emotional flexibility--the ability to respond flexibly to changing emotional circumstances. In the present study we tested the hypotheses that resilient people exhibit emotional flexibility: (a) in response to frequently changing emotional stimuli and (b) across multiple modalities of emotional respon...

A non-malleable code is a variant of an encoding scheme which is resilient to tampering attacks. The main idea behind non-malleable coding is that the adversary should not be able to obtain any valuable information about the message. Non-malleable codes are used in tamper-resilient cryptography and protecting memories against tampering attacks. Many different types of non-malleability have alre...

OBJECTIVES To identify plausible mechanisms by which resilience (low mortality rates despite persistent economic adversity) was achieved in some areas in Britain between 1971 and 2001. METHODS Mixed method observational study, combining quantitative analyses of cause- and age group-specific mortality rates, and area sociodemographic and environmental characteristics, with case studies of resi...
