Learning is no longer a “once and done” affair. Lifelong and micro-learning will be essential -- and much of that learning may take place in vastly different ways than the traditional “teacher-student” model. Peer-to-peer learning, app-based learning, and other approaches will be essential for keeping workers nimble, engaged, and employable.

15 Global Marketing and the Digital Revolution
Learning Objectives
15-1 List the major innovations and trends that contributed to the digital revolution.
15-2 Define “convergence” and give an example.
15-3 Define value network and explain the differences between sustaining technologies and disruptive technologies.
15-4 Identify current trends in global e-commerce and explain how global companies are expanding their presence on the Web.
15-5 Explain the key issues facing a global company when designing and implementing a Web site.
15-6 Identify the most important new products and services that have been introduced in the past decade.
Case 15-1 How Do You Like Your Reality? Virtual? Augmented? Mixed?
Every January, tens of thousands of tech enthusiasts and journalists converge in Las Vegas for a trade show known as International CES. There, attendees test out the hottest tech gadgets and get briefed about the latest industry trends. For the past few years, virtual reality (VR) headsets and software have been among the most buzz-worthy new products on display. (Artificial intelligence [AI] has also generated a lot of buzz at CES.)
Many different companies, including well-known tech giants, have showcased their wares at CES. For example, Facebook demonstrated the $600 Oculus Rift at the show. Sony’s VR entry was the PlayStation VR ($400); Samsung’s offering was Gear VR. Among lesser-known brands, the HTC Vive ($800) and VR units from Tsinghua Tongfang have also been introduced at CES.
To fully appreciate the VR experience, users don goggles and hold a set of handles. Then, in an area equipped with laser sensors, they are immersed in a 360-degree virtual world (see Exhibit 15-1). That world can be anything from the bottom of the Indian Ocean, where a person might come face-to-face with a shark, to the top of Mount Everest.
Advocates believe that a new user interface is on the horizon, and that VR and augmented reality (AR) have the potential to replace our phones, our TVs, and our desktop computers. But there’s more! Have you heard of “mixed reality” (MR)? Some industry experts have even started using terms such as “personal reality” and “preferred reality” (PR) to describe this new experiential world. To find out more about the opportunities and challenges facing companies marketing and activating immersive technologies and the potential uses of VR, AR, and variants such as MR, turn to the continuation of Case 15-1 at the end of the chapter.
VR and AR are just two examples of the way that the digital revolution is driving the creation of new companies, industries, and markets. It is also contributing to the transformation—and, in some cases, the destruction—of companies, industries, and markets. In short, this revolution is dramatically transforming the world in which we live. As the digital ...

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
