Beyond Mass Production: The Japanese System and Its Transfer to the U.S.
Martin Kenney, Richard Florida

Oxford University Press, USA, 1993

Not long ago, American manufacturing was in sharp decline. The Big Three carmakers closed dozens of plants, mostly in Michigan and other surrounding states, eliminating more than 250,000 jobs. Another quarter of a million workers lost their jobs in related industries. Now United States manufacturing is making a comeback--thanks, in part, to the transplanting of Japanese corporations of over 25 billion dollars worth of heavy industry and 100,000 ...

False Dichotomy between Creative and Technology Mindset
Richard Florida's work has many culturally helpful things to say. A kid's review - well argued by the way - has pointed out that Florida's work has a right brain bias. I agree, and I don't mind. The US leads in entertainment and cultural innovation. Its writers, artists, musicians have inspired the rest of the world for a century. Today though, we fall behind in math as India and China ...

Cities and the Creative Class
Richard Florida

Heliopolis, 2005

In his compelling follow-up to The Rise of the Creative Class, Richard Florida outlines how certain cities succeed in attracting members of the "creative class"--the millions of people who work in information-age economic sectors and in industries driven by innovation and talent. Cities that succeed, Florida argues, are those that are able to attract and retain creative class members. They don't do this through the traditional strategies of tax ...

Cities and the Creative Class

Routledge, 2004

This book is lousy
My hunch is this is a cheap sequel. Not a lot of discussion, just a lot of (regression) results reporting. Extremely repetitive. Moreover, given that this often verves into being fairly social science (as opposed to pop), the causal linkages seem pretty poorly established. If you want to read this for professional reasons (social science or urban planning), most of this could be ignored; if ...

Managing for Creativity
Richard Florida, James Goodnight

Harvard Business Review, 2005

A company's most important asset isn't raw materials, transportation systems, or political influence. It's creative capital--simply put, an arsenal of creative thinkers whose ideas can be turned into valuable products and services. Creative employees pioneer new technologies, birth new industries, and power economic growth. If you want your company to succeed, these are the people you entrust it to. But how do you accommodate the complex and ...

Leading Creative People (HBR Article Collection)
Rob Goffee, Thomas H. Davenport, ...

Harvard Business Review, 2007

Who most determines your company's success? For many companies, it's the handful of creative people whose knowledge and skills lead to innovations that may bankroll the organization for years to come. But managing creative people isn't easy. They don't want to be led. They don't care about titles and promotions. They're easily bored. And the process by which they pioneer new insights and ideas is complex and chaotic. How to turn creative ...
