This book brings together experts from different areas to show how creativity drives design and innovation in different kind of businesses. It presents theories and best practices demonstrating how creativity generates technological invention, and how this, combined with entrepreneurship, leads to business innovation. It also discusses strategies to teach entrepreneurial competencies and support business developments, including aspects such as corporate social responsibility and sustainability. Moreover, the book discusses the role of human factors in understanding, communicating with and engaging users, reporting on innovative approaches for product design, development, and branding. It also discusses applications in education and well-being. Based on the AHFE 2021 Conferences on Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Human Factors in Communication of Design, held virtually on July 25–29 July, 2021, from USA, the book addresses a broad audience of business innovators, entrepreneurs, designers, and marketing and communication experts alike.
Un libro per pedagogisti, educatori dell'infanzia e genitori che vogliano capire e favorire la rivoluzione epocale che sta avvenendo sotto i nostri occhi. L'avanzare della tecnologia è talmente rapido da provocare mutamenti impensabili solo vent'anni fa. Il problema che si presenta è: Come farà la scuola tradizionale a innestare i nuovissimi strumenti sulle solite vecchie modalità? Bambini seduti in silenzio e adulti parlanti? Interrogazioni a sorpresa e continua competizione? Non sarà che rischiamo una collusione senza precedenti? Il progetto Montessori può costituire la base più sicura per ottimizzare il cambiamento, permettendo di inglobare le nuove tecnologie nel lavoro educativo ...
Aus dem Vorwort: "Mario Valle ist als IT-Wissenschaftler, Montessori-Vater und Montessori-Dozent mit diesem Buch tief eingedrungen in das komplexe, vielschichtige Thema der Nutzung digitaler Technologie an Bildungseinrichtungen, hauptsächlich Grundschulen. … Mit beeindruckendem Spürsinn und Scharfsinn ist er … eingestiegen in die Grundlagen der menschlichen Entwicklung, in die Hirnforschung und in die Grundlagen der Montessori-Pädagogik. … Aus voller Überzeugung kommt er zum Schluss, dass gerade die Montessori-Pädagogik ein besonders geeignetes Mittel ist, um das Kind im Entwicklungsalter von 6 bis 12 Jahren an die Digitalisierung heranzuführen und diese im Rahmen der kindlichen bzw. jugendlichen Entwicklung sinnvoll zu nutzen. … Durch die bedächtige Abwägung von Vor- und Nachteilen und seine vielfältigen Vorschläge der konkreten Technologienutzung gibt das Buch den Schul-Praktikern reichlich Nahrung und den Erziehungswissenschaftlern viele Anstöße, neu und kreativ zu denken."
Currently people deal with various entities (such as hardware, software, buildings, spaces, communities and other people), to meet specific goals while going about their everyday activities in work and leisure environments. These entities have become more and more complex and incorporate functions that hitherto had never been allocated such as automation, use in virtual environments, connectivity, personalization, mobility and friendliness. This book contributes to the analysis of human-system interactions from the perspective of ergonomics, regardless of how simple or complex they are, while incorporating the needs of users and workers in a healthy safe, efficient and enjoyable manner.

This book discusses human factors research directed towards realizing and assessing sustainability in the built environment and architecture. It reports on advanced engineering methods for sustainable infrastructure design, architecture as well as on assessments of the efficient methods and the social, environmental, and economic impact of various designs and projects. The book covers a range of topics, including the use of recycled materials in architecture, ergonomics in buildings and public design, sustainable design for smart cities, design for the aging population, industrial design, human scale in architecture, and many more. Based on the AHFE 2019 International Conference on Human Factors in Architecture, Sustainable Urban Planning and Infrastructure, held on July 24-28, 2019, in Washington D.C., USA, it offers various perspectives on sustainability and ergonomics. As such, it is a valuable reference resource for designers, urban engineers, architects, infrastructure professionals, public infrastructure owners, policy makers, government engineers and planners, as well as operations managers and academics active in urban and infrastructure research.
