Smart Rivals - How Innovative...

Feng Zhu, Bonnie Yining Cao

A new, researched-based look at how traditional or smaller companies can better compete with Big Tech on their own terms 
 
 
 
Companies are fighting the wrong battle. The consensus has been to learn the best practices from Big Tech and imitate them. But new paths for growth aren't created by imitation; they're forged by radical differentiation. 
 
 
 
In Smart Rivals, Harvard Business School professor Feng Zhu and former Bloomberg journalist Bonnie Cao show business leaders how to create new competitive advantages by offering product features and benefits that tech giants and other competitors cannot match. 
 
 
 
Zhu and Cao bring listeners across the globe, revealing how big conglomerates—Coca-Cola, Ping An, and AB InBev—and scrappy upstarts—an Italian toll payment platform, a Chinese footwear retailer, a Nigerian media company, and scores of others—have managed to thrive by tapping into their unique capabilities. 
 
 
 
Based on original research and insights gleaned from leaders in a wide-range of industries, Smart Rivals will help you find new capabilities that mere imitation could never provide and lead to new products, services, strategies, and advantages.

Dr. Michel Rice treated over 15,000 back pain patients before becoming a director of Better Call Doc Clinic and the Ontario Research Medical Group. His focus on the intersection of sex and chronic back pain came to Rice from unsolicited pronouncements from dozens of single lady patients.
Alas, their renewed spinal health was the result of their lucky break of having a one-night stand. Nine years later came the birth of a sexy rehab program called Sexy Back.Book details

Computational Methods for...

Mark Hedges

Computational physics is a crucial branch of modern physics that utilizes numerical techniques and algorithms to solve complex physical problems. With the increasing complexity of theoretical models and the limitations of analytical solutions, computational methods have become an indispensable tool for physicists. From simulating quantum systems to modeling astrophysical phenomena, computation allows researchers to explore scenarios that are otherwise impractical or impossible to study experimentally.
One of the primary motivations for using computational techniques in physics is the ability to handle problems involving nonlinear equations, chaotic systems, or large datasets. Many physical equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations in fluid dynamics or Schrödinger’s equation in quantum mechanics, lack closed-form analytical solutions. In such cases, numerical methods provide approximate but highly accurate solutions. Computational techniques also play a crucial role in experimental physics, where data analysis and simulations help interpret results and refine theoretical models.
Historically, computational physics emerged as a distinct discipline in the mid-20th century, with the advent of digital computers. Early physicists used numerical methods for simple problems, such as solving ordinary differential equations, but as computing power increased, so did the scope of applications. Today, computational physics is integrated with other scientific disciplines, including materials science, climate modeling, and biophysics, demonstrating its wide-ranging impact.
