De Gedragscode Persoonlijke Onderzoek; wel of geen fraude?
Mr. R. Meelker van Marree en Dijxhoorn bespreekt in PIV-Bulletin 2014, 3 de uitspraak van de Hoge Raad van 18 april 2014. Centraal stond in die zaak de vraag of verzekeraar Interpolis wel terecht een redelijk vermoeden mocht hebben dat haar verzekerde tegenover haar verzekeringsfraude pleegde en dus gerechtvaardigd een persoonlijk onderzoek liet instellen. Het gerechtshof kwam in een 44 overwegingen tellend arrest tot de conclusie dat Interpolis dat niet kon en oordeelde vervolgens ook dat het onderzoeksrapport niet als bewijsmiddel mocht worden gebruikt. Het hof vond dat pas na een grondig en of structureel gebrek aan medewerking een persoonlijk onderzoek ingesteld mag worden. De HR liet dat oordeel in tact. Mr. Meelker stelt hierbij kritische kanttekeningen.

An Overview of Financial
Management and the
Financial Environment
I n a global beauty contest for companies, the winner is . . . Apple Computer.
Or at least Apple is the most admired company in the world, according to Fortune
magazine’s annual survey. The others in the global top ten are Google, Berkshire Hathaway,
Southwest Airlines, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Amazon.com, FedEx, Microsoft, and
McDonald’s. What do these companies have that separates them from the rest of the pack?
According to a survey of executives, directors, and security analysts, these
companies have very high average scores across nine attributes: (1) innovative-
ness, (2) quality of management, (3) long-term investment value, (4) social
responsibility, (5) employee talent, (6) quality of products and services, (7) finan-
cial soundness, (8) use of corporate assets, and (9) effectiveness in doing business
globally. After culling weaker companies, the final rankings are then determined
by over 3,700 experts from a wide variety of industries.
What do these companies have in common? First, they have an incredible
focus on using technology to understand their customers, reduce costs, reduce
inventory, and speed up product delivery. Second, they continually innovate and
invest in ways to differentiate their products. Some are known for game-changing
products, such as Apple’s iPad. Others continually introduce small improvements,
such as Southwest Airlines’s streamlined boarding procedures.
In addition to their acumen with technology and customers, they are also on
the leading edge when it comes to training employees and providing a workplace
in which people can thrive.
Prior to the global economic crisis, these companies maintained reasonable
debt levels and avoided overpaying for acquisitions. This allowed them to weather
the crisis and position themselves for stronger subsequent performance than many
of their competitors.
In a nutshell, these companies reduce costs by having innovative production pro-
cesses, they create value for customers by providing high-quality products and services,
and they create value for employees by training and fostering an environment that
allows employees to utilize all of their skills and talents. As you will see throughout this
book, the resulting cash flow and superior return on capital also create value for investors.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
