Book Description
Resumen Da Cero A Uno Por Peter Thiel "De Cero a Uno", un libro que ofrece consejos perspicaces para startups, es en esencia una recopilación de una serie de conferencias impartidas por Peter Thiel, cofundador de PayPal, en la Universidad de Stanford en 2012. Uno de sus estudiantes, Blake Masters, tuvo la visión de publicar notas de las conferencias en su propio blog, lo cual recibió una amplia atención. Thiel, un empresario abierto y cautivador, reconoció una oportunidad y, con Masters a su lado como coautor, reunió las conferencias antes de desarrollarlas en un libro coherente y estructurado. El resultado es un texto que se ha convertido en lectura esencial para cualquiera que desee iniciar su propio negocio. Peter Thiel es un multimillonario autodidacta que ha estado involucrado en numerosos negocios en algún grado. También es un autoproclamado nerd que, junto con otros "outsiders", fundó PayPal a finales de los años noventa, aprovechando la ola de la burbuja de las puntocom. Thiel y su equipo se hicieron conocidos como la Mafia de PayPal. Aunque parecían improbables como propietarios de negocios, eran personas dedicadas y meticulosas. Sobre todo, eran personas abiertas, amigables y divertidas que prosperaron en la atmósfera creada en Silicon Valley. Es este sentido de diversión y apertura el que se refleja en "De Cero a Uno", pero este es un libro que se enriquece con una perspectiva fresca y muy seria sobre ideas supuestamente concretas. A lo largo del libro, Thiel sostiene que las ideas que damos por sentado en los negocios deben ser desafiadas. Cuestiona la idea de que los monopolios son siempre malos. Minimiza las ventajas de la competencia y afirma que es lo que hace que los negocios se estanquen. Además, desmantela otros dogmas, ya que Thiel parte de la premisa de que cuanto más inusual y diferente sea el fundador, mejores serán los resultados a largo plazo. Siendo un ser humano altamente intelectual, Thiel simplifica su marco filosófico personal para que todos entendamos que un futuro "definitivamente optimista" es aquel en el que un negocio dedica todos sus esfuerzos a crear algo completamente nuevo, en lugar de simplemente modificar un producto existente.

Book Description
WHAT VALUABLE COMPANY IS NOBODY BUILDING? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. It’s easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from 0 to 1. This book is about how to get there. ‘Peter Thiel has built multiple breakthrough companies, and Zero to One shows how.’ ELON MUSK, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla ‘This book delivers completely new and refreshing ideas on how to create value in the world.’ MARK ZUCKERBERG, CEO of Facebook ‘When a risk taker writes a book, read it. In the case of Peter Thiel, read it twice. Or, to be safe, three times. This is a classic.’ NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB, author of The Black Swan

The Start-Up J Curve
Author: Howard Love
Publisher: Greenleaf Book Group
ISBN: 1626342938
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
A predictable pattern of success Entrepreneurs who have read early drafts of The Start-Up J Curve responded, ''I wish I had this book years ago.'' A start-up unfolds in a predictable pattern; the more aware entrepreneurs are of this pattern, the better able they will be to capitalize on it. Author Howard Love calls this pattern the start-up J Curve: The toughest part of the endeavor is the time between the actual start of a new business and when the product and model are firmly established. The Start-Up J Curve gives entrepreneurs the tools they need to get through the early challenges so they can reach the primary value creation that lies beyond. Love brings thirty-five years of start-up experience to this comprehensive guide to starting a business. He outlines the six predictable stages of start-up growth and details the activities that should be undertaken at each stage to ensure success and to avoid common pitfalls. Instead of feeling lost and confused after a setback, start-up founders and investors can anticipate the challenges, overcome the obstacles, and ride the curve to the top.

Chemically Derived Graphene
Author: Jintao Zhang
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 1788014391
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
The increasing interest in graphene, due to its unique properties and potential applications, is sparking intense research into chemically derived graphene. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the recent and state-of-the-art research on chemically derived graphene materials for different applications. Starting with a brief introduction on chemically derived graphene, subsequent chapters look at various fascinating applications such as electrode materials for fuel cells, Li/Na-ion batteries, metal–air batteries and Li-S batteries, photocatalysts for degradation of pollutants and solar-to-fuels conversion, biosensing platforms, and anti-corrosion coatings. The emphasis throughout this book is on experimental studies and the unique aspects of chemically derived graphene in these fields, including novel functionalization methods, particular physicochemical properties and consequently enhanced performance. With contributions from key researchers, the book provides a detailed resource on the latest progress and the future directions of chemically derived graphene for students and researchers across materials science, chemistry, nanoengineering and related fields.

Meeting at Grand Central
Author: Lee Cronk
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691154953
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
"Meeting at Grand Central brings together insights from evolutionary biology, political science, economics, anthropology, and other fields to explain how the interactions between our evolved selves and the institutional structures we have created make cooperation possible. The book begins with a look at the ideas of Mancur Olson and George Williams, who shifted the question of why cooperation happens from an emphasis on group benefits to individual costs. It then explores how these ideas have influenced our thinking about cooperation, coordination, and collective action. The book persuasively argues that cooperation and its failures are best explained by evolutionary and social theories working together. Selection sometimes favors cooperative tendencies, while institutions, norms, and incentives encourage and make possible actual cooperation."--Publisher's website.
