Jose Fonseca – författare

Taking a critical look at major perspectives on innovation, this book suggests that innovation is not a designed functional activity of a firm or an intentional process through which firms anticipate changes in conditions. Jose Fonseca proposes that the concepts behind the innovation experiences cannot be traced to any particular time, space or individual, even if one person has figured prominently. The innovative ideas in the examples considered did not occur as a direct product of a purposeful search triggered by the perception of some problem to solve, nor did they result from a sequential process that was laid out in advance. Instead, innovative ideas were a product of streams of conversations that extended over long periods of time and were characterized by critical degrees of misunderstanding and redundancy. Fonseca's book presents innovation as new meaning potentially emerging in ongoing, every-day conversations.Drawing on the theory of complex responsive process, developed in the first two volumes of this series, Fonseca presents a particular way of understanding innovation. The experiences of innovation studied in this book suggest that innovations do not start with a match between a need to be satisfied and a set of competencies and tools purposefully brought together to meet the need. On the contrary, identification of need is a consequence of success, rather than a pre-condition. The innovations studied in this book (a selection of innovation experiences from Portugal are considered) were subject to constant and never ending redefinition.

Contemporary Psychodrama weaves together psychodrama and psychoanalysis with illustrative clinical examples, whilst preserving the essence of psychodramatic philosophy and methodology. Previously unavailable in the English language, this book presents José Fonseca's diverse new approaches to psychodrama together with a blending of theories. The book is divided into clear sections, covering: * new approaches to psychodrama theory * new approaches to psychodrama technique* psychodrama and sexuality * the past and future of psychodrama. Fonseca's innovative ideas include the adaptation of techniques originally intended for groups to individual psychodramatic psychotherapy. He distinguishes between not only the normal and the mentally ill but the normal and the optimal, and presents a detailed developmental psychology, inspired by Moreno and Buber, but clearly influenced by object relations theory.Contemporary Psychodrama presents the original concepts of a leading light of the Brazilian psychodrama movement that will be of great benefit to all professionals working with psychodrama.José Fonseca, M.D., Ph.D., was one of the pioneers of the psychodramatic movement in Brazil and a founder of the Brazilian federation of psychodrama. He has published two books in Brazil, Psychodrama of Madness and Relationship Psychotherapy.

This book presents cutting-edge work onthe most challenging research issues concerning intelligent transportationsystems (ITS), introducing selected, highly relevant advanced research onscheduling and real-time communication for vehicular networks, as well as faulttolerance, test beds and simulations for ITS. The authors define newarchitectures that support cooperative sensing in ITS and offer guidance forthe development of a reference end-to-end implementation. The presented resultsallow advanced traffic and travel management strategies to be formulated on thebasis of reliable and real-time input data. The effectiveness of these newstrategies, together with the proposed systems, is assessed in field trials andvia simulations.The chapters in this book detail newresearch findings, algorithms, protocols, and the development of animplementation platform for ITS that merges and integrates heterogeneous datasources into a common system. In addition, they provide a set of advanced toolsfor the control, monitoring, simulation, and prediction of traffic that resultin safer, more sustainable, and less congested roads. Work undertaken within the framework of theFP7 project ICSI (Intelligent Cooperative Sensing for Improved trafficefficiency) is also included in the research activities addressed.
