Leadership succession planning is a priority of family businesses in South-east Asia because of its perceived importance in attracting investment, says a new report from the Economist Intelligence Unit.
The report Building legacies: Family business succession in South-east Asia, sponsored by Labuan International Business and Financial Centre, is based on a survey of executives in the region. It finds that 67% of family businesses already have succession plans in place, and a significant majority of these companies say their boards have reviewed these plans.
Winning business and attracting investment are strong motivators for family business leaders to establish successors, despite the risk of triggering sibling rivalry or other conflict. Two-thirds of survey respondents agree that customers and investors have more trust in a family-owned business with a succession plan than in a business that lacks one. Seventy-one percent of family business leaders say it is easier to attract investment with a succession plan in place.

Changing the Trajectory: How Companies Can Lean In TooMcKinsey & Company
This document summarizes findings from McKinsey & Company's 2018 study on women in the workplace. Some key findings include:
- Women face challenges advancing in their careers, with promotion rates to manager being 21% lower than men. Black women face even greater challenges, with a 40% lower promotion rate.
- While most employees want to stay at their companies, 81% of women who plan to leave cite taking a role at another company as the reason.
- Gender diversity in companies is linked to improved performance, with diverse companies being 15% more likely to outperform industry averages. However, only 28% of women see their companies as adequately representing women in leadership.
Careers in the 21st Century (Webinar by Fuel50 and Bersin by Deloitte)Fuel50
There is no one right way to approach career management. Strategies for moving workers into, around, and even out of the organization have changed drastically in the past ten years and largely depend on the goals of both the worker and the company.
However, companies with effective career management initiatives have some similarities. They tend to approach career management holistically – considering more than just role descriptions and career paths – and they focus heavily on alignment with organizational goals and needs.

This document summarizes research examining gender bias in multi-rater feedback surveys. The research analyzed data from over 20,000 managers rated through the Hogan 360 survey. It found small but statistically significant differences in how men and women were rated by male and female raters. For example, women were seen as more organized and empathetic while men were seen as more steady under pressure. The implications are that gender biases should be considered when interpreting multi-rater feedback and developing individuals and organizations.
Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations
and accordingly bankruptcy

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.
