What was love really like in the 1970s? Women were marching forward in the Women’s Movement, “bringing home the bacon,” exercising their newfound sexual freedom, and still searching for true love. Introducing, Bedroom Roulette, the latest book in the TruLOVE Collection series, guest edited by romance book expert Ron Hogan.Bedroom Roulette is a collection of 13 love stories focused on the changing lives, loves and careers of women in the ‘70s. It’s hard to resist these tantalizing tales with titles like:· “Bedroom Roulette – The Game Suburban Housewives Play”· “We Joined Our Teenage Daughter at a Free-Love Farm”· “The Night My Husband Demanded an Orgy”· “Why Not? We Used To Be Married”Hogan provides a revealing look at various kinds of love stories from the early 1970s in America. Topics that were previously taboo were now being discussed in “polite” society. The sexual revolution was in full swing and the feminist movement was taking hold. Pop culture is alive and well in Bedroom Roulette as it gives readers a “fly on the wall” peek at a pivotal moment in American cultural history. Many of the stories included in this TruLOVE Collection will surprise—and possibly shock–the reader.

Innovationen sind der Garant fur die Zukunftsfahigkeit von Unternehmen und Organisationen. Doch die ubliche Vorgehensweise, namlich Innovationen «effizient» zu generieren, fuhrt zur Trivialisierung. Nicht selten werden banale Neuerungen als wichtige Innovationen gefeiert. Wirklich bedeutende Innovationen aber lassen sich weder erzwingen, noch passieren sie einfach so. Sie finden nur statt, wenn Organisationen die Komfortzone verlassen. Ulf Pillkahn deckt die Schwachen klassischen Innovationsmanagements auf. Er betrachtet die Logik von Unternehmen und beschreibt die wesentlichen Effekte, die aus dem Innovationsverhalten von Unternehmen resultieren (Dornroschen-Effekt, Red-Queen-Effekt, Pionier-Effekt), und verknupft sie mit Fallstudien bekannter Unternehmen. Er betrachtet die Entscheidungsprozesse in Unternehmen und warum es radikale Ideen so schwer haben. Und er zeigt, warum mutigere, schnellere Wege zu deutlich besseren oder zumindest gleichen Ergebnissen fuhren konnen. Als Ausweg aus dem Dilemma der klassischen Innovation empfiehlt Pillkahn die «Irritation», den permanenten Zustand innerer Unruhe, die standige Bewertung von Impulsen, die Kombination klassischer und disruptiver Methoden. Pillkahn bringt den Leser immer wieder zum Nachdenken, denn er macht deutlich, dass das Einhalten von Normen, Konventionen, Standards und Kennzahlen zwar aktuelle Marktchancen erhohen, Kosten sparen oder die Anerkennung von Mitarbeitern steigern kann, aber kaum auf Dauer den Unternehmenserfolg sichert.
