"This edited volume provides deep insight into theoretical and empirical evidence on how digital technologies and high-tech brands are interrelated. It traces the mutual links between these two phenomena, identifies the multidimensionality of interdependencies, and shows the reader how and why new technologies are the driving factor of creation and global dissemination of high-tech brands. In this context, it also refers to various types of economic and social networks that, on the one hand, are the product of digital technologies, while on the other enforce global visibility of high-tech brands. The book contributes to the present state of knowledge, offering the reader broad evidence on how digital technologies impact the process of high-tech brands' nascence and how their growing role and global exposure influence the networked economies and societies. It sets out to deliver a bridge between brand management and economical approaches to understanding how digital technologies and high-tech brands are interrelated. This multidisciplinary approach creates a complex compilation of different views and perspectives that sheds new light on the high-tech brands' phenomena of being an input and output of technology-driven economies. Technology Brands in the Digital Economy is written for scholars and researchers from a wide variety of disciplines but especially for those addressing issues of brands and economic development and growth, social development and the role of technological progress in broadly defined socio-economic progress. It will also be an invaluable source of knowledge for graduate and postgraduate students in a variety of areas such as economic and social development, information and technology, worldwide studies, social policy, or comparative economics"--

La Silicon Valley, cœur battant des nouvelles technologies, rythme le quotidien de milliards d'individus. Elle a transformé les façons de communiquer, de s'informer, de travailler, de se divertir et de s'aimer. Percées technologiques, marchés financiers, cours de justice, ses entreprises occupent le devant de la scène médiatique. De la conquête spatiale à l'informatique quantique, ses ingénieurs repoussent les frontières de l'infiniment grand et de l'infiniment petit. Ses scientifiques projettent la fin de la mort et travaillent au dépassement de l'humain par la machine. Ce livre propose une immersion dans un univers qui inspire jusqu'à Hollywood, mais qui reste paradoxalement méconnu. Loin de s'arrêter à ses grands noms, il dépeint le parcours, la mentalité et les façons de faire de ceux qui bataillent quotidiennement dans un système hypersélectif pour séduire les investisseurs, embaucher les meilleurs développeurs et trouver la solution qui changera le monde. Du Burning Man aux mobilisations anti-Tech, il offre une plongée dans un monde en perpétuelle révolution, riche de promesses et d'inquiétudes pour l'avenir.

Why do so many organizations fail to mobilize the social networks of employees to respond to disruptions, innovate, and change? In 'Digital Relationships', Jason Davis argues that individual and organizational interests about networking can come out of alignment such that the network ties that individuals form are organizationally sub-optimal for achieving their most ambitious goals. Developing a new perspective about networks and organizations, he explains through network agency theory how network problems emerge, the role of digital technology adoption by organizations in amplifying misalignment, and the capacity of managers and function of the executive to resolve agency problems and mitigate their impact.
