UN LUNÁTICO CON LOS PIES EN LA TIERRA “EL APORTE DEL INGENIO AL CAPITALISMO SALVAJE”

In the following article identified an approach, from the perspective of the role of industrial engineers, of one of the characters that marked a milestone in the history of the First Industrial Revolution: Thomas Cook. For this he refers to the reading of the book: «The League of the Wild Capitalists» by Benoist Simmat and Vincent Caut[1], where a specific section is made about Cook, which helps to see what characteristics are analogous to the basic competencies that must be Have an industrial engineer.
It should be emphasized that you are an engineer to create from scratch or correct processes, when resources are optimized and used, when reengineering concepts redefine innovation, when each pillar of the process is estimated and not only traceability is seen from the Administration With this, it is wanted to announce how these characteristics appear in Cook, In turn, it is time to think again about the conception that we have of the work of engineering and look back, rescue, use the image used by the authors from the book, the metaphorical idea of being lunatic, due to the ingenious meetings of the enlightened to think under the moonlight, romantic but daring, because if an engineer never stops to think, they are considered sparkles of creativity.
Creativity, according to Gagné (s.f) «Creativity can be determined a way of solving problems, through intuitions or a combination of ideas from very different fields of knowledge» [2]. That we see how the synergy between the fields is what makes creativity possible and, in particular, for engineering it is what allows us the possibility of re-engineering.
