En un entorno que cambia con una rapidez asombrosa, que obliga en poco tiempo a cambios de estrategia importantes, puedes preguntarte si vale la pena realizar un plan de negocio. Los cambios en el entorno, la moda del lean start-up y el ejemplo de algunos emprendedores de éxito que nunca hicieron un plan de negocio despiertan el pecado de la pereza. Pereza es: «Negligencia, tedio o descuido en las cosas a que estamos obligados». No te dejes vencer por ella y trabaja. Piensa que el plan de negocio tiene dos objetivos clave: filtrar la oportunidad de negocio y venderlo. Además, también te servirá como elemento de control de la evolución de tu proyecto. Aplicando la teoría del lean start-up, desarrolla un lean business plan preciso (en la medida en que puedas), breve (lo bueno si breve, dos veces bueno) y enfocado a la acción (puesta en marcha rápida). Tu bolsillo y tus socios te lo agradecerán.

Children represent a special challenge for emergency care providers, because they have unique medical needs in comparison to adults. For decades, policy makers and providers have recognized the special needs of children, but the system has been slow to develop an adequate response to their needs. This is in part due to inadequacies within the broader emergency care system. Emergency Care for Children examines the challenges associated with the provision of emergency services to children and families and evaluates progress since the publication of the Institute of Medicine report Emergency Medical Services for Children (1993), the first comprehensive look at pediatric emergency care in the United States. This new book offers an analysis of: • The role of pediatric emergency services as an integrated component of the overall health system. • System-wide pediatric emergency care planning, preparedness, coordination, and funding. • Pediatric training in professional education. • Research in pediatric emergency care. Emergency Care for Children is one of three books in the Future of Emergency Care series. This book will be of particular interest to emergency health care providers, professional organizations, and policy makers looking to address the pediatric deficiencies within their emergency care systems.

Shifting faculty roles in a changing landscape Ernest L. Boyer's landmark book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate challenged the publish-or-perish status quo that dominated the academic landscape for generations. His powerful and enduring argument for a new approach to faculty roles and rewards continues to play a significant part of the national conversation on scholarship in the academy. Though steeped in tradition, the role of faculty in the academic world has shifted significantly in recent decades. The rise of the non-tenure-track class of professors is well documented. If the historic rule of promotion and tenure is waning, what role can scholarship play in a fragmented, unbundled academy? Boyer offers a still much-needed approach. He calls for a broadened view of scholarship, audaciously refocusing its gaze from the tenure file and to a wider community. This expanded edition offers, in addition to the original text, a critical introduction that explores the impact of Boyer's views, a call to action for applying Boyer's message to the changing nature of faculty work, and a discussion guide to help readers start a new conversation about how Scholarship Reconsidered applies today.
