Abstract:
Smart products open up a time to create and evolve improved goods and services as well as to enhance new business models that match with customers’ expectations and needs. A smart product is a technology-linked creation that can communicate information or even act on a mission. These products vary from medical devices to personal gadgets, machinery and computers. Technological advances make it promising to create a smarter image of almost any physical object. However, products from the jewelry industry, a division of industry that manufactures products from gems and precious metals, are still behind the modernization trend, though they have lots of potentials to create new ideas. When individuals consider wearables, they might also think of smart, but luxury gadgets. The demand for smart wearables reaches far beyond these mainstream products and too many new markets in a variety of different industries. This article discusses the interest in the potential of modern technology to converting traditional jewelry products to medical nursing devices. In reality, smart jewelry holds such a promise in healthcare that the nursing jewelry will be seen as a driving power of the industry in the coming years. Nursing concept is the next evolution of jewelry products and has immense potential for medical applications. This paper declares how to take the idea of nursing jewelry chains to the healthcare science and luxury art.

Abstract:
We are living in an increasingly complex world, in which all economic, social, technical, environmental, cultural and political factors and processes are evidently interconnected. Traditional problem-solving approaches through simple linear thinking and “quick fixes” that solve issues in isolation have posed various shortcomings, including failures and even counterproductive consequences. International expert in innovative general management solutions and trusted partner to all kinds of organizations (for and not-for-profit), the Malik’s approach aims at maximizing governance effectiveness and enabling organizations to transform themselves in order to excel at a time of great challenges and profound change. Malik’s foundations are the sciences of complexity, including systems science, cybernetics and bionics. Malik’s solutions, the result of over 40 years of research and extensive application, emphasize crosslinking the intelligence, creativity, expertise, and experience of all people involved and create an intense working client-relationship, based on professional working attitude, trust and integrity. Effective management, advanced governance and societally responsible leadership are the fundamental principles of the unique Malik Management Systems® (MMS). This presentation introduces the MMS. It also shares knowledge, experience, as well as provides various highly successful practical applications of the systems and tools in numerous organizations and companies worldwide.
