The whole new mind

Human brain is amazing because it has more connections than there are atoms in the universe. Humans need both right side and left side brain to manage themselves and anything around them. The right side controlled creative tasks, while the left side was where logic, language and reasoning. Right brain and lift brain acting like two brains with two styles of seeing, understanding and making sense of the world. That’s why we need to use both of them.

For example if we follow roles and guidance to do something, and logical stuff we are using the left brain, but when we start put all the information together to create something new we are using the right brain.

The whole new mind talks about the six senses that human use: Design, story, sympathy, empathy, play, and meaning. Each of us has different meaning and understanding for each one of these six senses. Design “To many business people, design is something you spread on the surface, it's like icing on a cake. It's nice, but not mission-critical” (zen) design is very challenging because when you design something you design it the way you like it and for company that might not work, having a bigger imagination, and understanding people need would help to have a better design that fit everybody. Story: “Facts, information, data. Most of it is available on-line or can be sent to people in an email, a PDF attachment, or a hard copy through snail mail. Data and "the facts" have never been more widely available.”(zen). What people care now more than data is story, because data is available everywhere now and it’s easy to reach it not many people care about reaching these data unless there is an attractive story behind it or emotional. For example one of the most success company in the world is Apple, because Apple did understand the people need and giving them a good story about the product they sell like it’s easy to use, the shape of the phone all of these made everyone want to carry one of Apple products. Sympathy: focus, realize, analysis. Sympathy is really important and it’s hard to use as a lot of the people more emotional, and they can lose how to focus in something without interruption.  Empathy: is using your emotional side, as human we made a lot of decision regarding to our emotional feeling even if their wrong. And some people say “I know my decision is wrong but it feel right doing it” that’s all based in emotional feeling not the brain thinking. Play, meaning both of them is important because without them there no meaning for the life acting and working all the time like a robot. Each one of us should have time to play and have fun, in the other hand we should know and having a deep meaning of what we do and why we’re doing it

On a stretch project, we encounter our limitations, weaknesses and doubts. The project challenges us not only on a professional level but also on a personal level. Research has shown that individuals who are more emotionally mature fare better with the challenging projects in today’s work place.

Neural network application and expert system

Many difficulties in business world are vitally about endeavoring to forecast the prospect of distinct outcomes. The real world is so convoluted, with so numerous inter-related variables that predicting these conclusions are often very tough. Conventional computing has a limited function to play in assisting with these jobs but neural networks offer an alternate answer. By feeding in the different components that offer conclusion over time can investigate preceding trends and patterns to forecast the future.

G. R. Pugh & business does consulting to predict the charges of bonds of public utilities. The business utilized neural network to help forecast the following years business bond prices and rankings of over 100 public utility companies. The network they utilized contrasted very favorably to accepted mathematical investigation. The network was able to forecast a utility rating (A, B, C) with 95% correctness, accepted mathematical investigation was only productive 85% of the time. The only adversities came across by the mesh were associated with companies experiencing particularly unusual problems that were not incorporated into the systems inputs.

Medical diagnosis is an example of expert system the knowledge groundwork would comprise health data, the symptoms of the patient would be utilized as the query, and the recommendations would be a identify of the patient’s sickness The software used in medical apparatus controls and interacts exactly with the physical natural environment, it is subject to firm asset constraints, it must function in real-time, it desires to persuade many safety requirements, as well as other obligations such as reliability and availability.

Nokia

Knowledge is facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. Knowledge management is the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge. It refers to a multi-disciplined approach to achieving organizational objectives by making the best use of knowledge. Nokia should use knowledge and learn from Nucor steel of the way to share knowledge. Being the first one who adopted new technology is always risky, and Nokia should take this step like it did before in 1990s when cell phone start expansion. After that Nokia start laying back in new technology and thought its strong product will keep it first in the competition.

Nokia should encourage its individual employees to share knowledge, and building effective and efficient transmission channels and convincing individual to accept and use knowledge they received.

Sharing knowledge required accepting the new knowledge and work to adopted and modify it to come with new ideas and new technology. Nokia realized that late after it lost its competitive advantage. But now with accepting the new technology and start working with new knowledge of Windows 7 as their new software, it might come back and be in the race of competition again.

Nokia

Nokia was running for 14 years as the world’s top mobile maker. After that Nokia start foaling. Nokia didn’t understand the people need of new software, and they were just focusing on the hardware, ignoring the people need of new Apps. While Apple and Samsung came out with new software and hardware that satisfies their customers. It’s more accurate that Nokia was a hardware company rather than software company. Nokia reacted slowly to shift from Symbian to windows, and that make them lose their competition with Samsung and Apple as they already build customer satisfaction which make it harder for the customer to switch back to Nokia that failed them before. Nokia moved too slowly in the smartphone market and they lost their competition even among small competitors to them like HTC, Huawei and ZTE.

“And there was another mistake. Nokia overestimated the strength of its brand, and believed that even if it was late to the smartphone game it would be able to catch up quickly.” (SUROWIECKI) customers reactions were fast punishing Nokia and change to another smartphone leaving Nokia behind. “The Good old Nokia was the leader of mobile phone technology for a good decade, but they got stuck in one mindset, and failed to remain agile enough to the needs of their customers. Instead of selling what people want to buy, they ended up insisting on selling what they think people should buy.”(Saeid)

Samsung

            Samsung is a well known company since 1938.they start with technology and follow the world technology without stopping in any point of their life of being success even before smartphone. Samsung GlaxAy smartphones is one of the two best samartphones in the world now with Apple Iphone.  Samsung learned from Nokia success and fail. In 2007 Samsung saw the iPhone as an opportunity it showed what consumers wanted, and start producing smartphones and giving people what they ask for. First Samsung were copying Apple which made it number 2 in the competition after Apple. Samsung become the master of marketing. Building this strong brand identity has contributed to the brand's global success

TOYOTA

 Toyota’s is the largest automobile corporation in Japan, and the second largest auto maker in the world. Toyota tests, manufactures, designs, sell, and services vehicles and vehicle components. Toyota markets their vehicles in over 170 countries. In 1957 Toyota establish their first operation in the united state, and currently operate 10 manufacturing plant in the united state.

            The Philosophy of long term thinking, Toyota bases their management decisions on a long term philosophy. Acting this way is improving the company as a whole. “Toyota was not short term gain but looking beyond that to grow the company and do what is right for employees, customers, and society.”(liker).

Build a culture of stopping to fix problems to get quality right the first time. Toyota goes to stop their production line when there is a problem, not like Ford or GM which they counties their production line when they face a quality problem. Toyota understand when face a problem to face it in short term so it won’t appear in long term.

            Grow leaders who thoroughly understand the work, live the philosophy, and teach it to others. Toyota treats their employee’s right, and promotes them. Taking their experience and teach it to others. Toyota believes that you cannot get exceptional teams without hiring and training exceptional people.

            Toyota worked in changing people view of the company, and made them understand why Toyota is the best car, by challenging their team of getting the best cars with the best quality that fit every one. So now people all over the world trusting Toyota and they able to buy one without being scared or questioning themselves about the product and the quality.
