This document discusses founder brands and the unique challenges and opportunities they face. Some key points:
- Founder brands are defined as brands where the founder or founding family still exercises significant influence.
- Founder brands make enormous contributions to the global economy, with over 35% of Fortune 500 companies and 60% of public US companies being family-controlled.
- While founder brands are highly valuable, separating the brand from the founding individual over time to ensure longevity is a core challenge as the brand grows. Managing the brand's personality-focused equity can be difficult.
- Some ways founder brands address this include conveying a brand promise that lives beyond any single personality, like Apple did in transitioning after Steve
China, Rethink - Why China needs to rethink its modern 'Journey to the West'Morry Morgan
The document discusses China's need to rethink its modernization path based on three realities: low employee engagement, high employee turnover, and poor management practices in Chinese companies. It provides data showing that Chinese workers have among the lowest levels of engagement globally and high levels of disengagement. Turnover rates in China increase significantly after Chinese New Year. Studies also rate Chinese management as some of the worst compared to other countries. The document argues that Chinese companies need to adopt practices from foreign multinationals operating in China in order to improve these issues.

Pine Technical report: CDI versus TJLP, volatility versus trendBanco Pine
This report compares the CDI (Certificado de Depósito Interbancário), an overnight interest rate in Brazil, to the TJLP (Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo), a long-term interest rate. It finds that while the CDI has fluctuated more due to deviations in inflation from targets, the TJLP has remained stable between 5-5.5% to encourage long-term private investments. Lower interest rates through the Selic rate and CDI aim to stimulate Brazil's slowing GDP growth by expanding private investments and credit. The report provides graphs and analysis showing the relationship between these interest rates, inflation, and economic growth in Brazil.
The document is an economic report from QNB Economics that provides forecasts for Qatar's GDP growth in 2013. It predicts that Qatar's GDP will grow by 3.3% in 2013, down from 3.6% growth in 2012. It also estimates that the non-oil sector will grow by 7.2% in 2013, contributing more than half of Qatar's overall GDP growth. Several sectors are expected to see slower growth in 2013 compared to 2012, including construction, trade, and manufacturing.

Pegatron's stock price is NT$43.80. Macquarie maintains its Outperform rating and raises its 12-month target price to NT$55 from NT$51. Pegatron remains well positioned as the major supplier of Apple's iPhone mini, and iPad mini demand has been better than expected. Macquarie also expects upside from Pegatron's non-core business Casetek and higher-than-expected non-notebook business margins. Macquarie raises its 2013-2014 EPS estimates and sees upside catalysts from new order gains and improving revenue and margins.
Pegatron remains an outperform stock with a 12-month target price of NT$55. The analyst expects solid iPhone mini shipments and margins to drive earnings upside in 2013. Demand for the iPad mini is also better than expected. Rising profits from Casetek also provide upside risk to EPS growth.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
