These are the slides from the Cambridge Judge Business School's Master of Studies in Social Innovation residential week Library session. The presentation covered tips and techniques to use for researching the first assignment.
As the ChemConnector and one of the people responsible for creating ChemSpider I have become well known in the chemical information world. I get to connect with some of the brightest minds in the domain, have participated in meetings with Microsoft, Google, various government institutions and with some of the top chemical and pharmaceutical companies. While my path to this point feels at some times like a random walk, and certainly I never set a trajectory to become a chemical information specialist as I am a spectroscopist by training, I look back upon my career with a lot of satisfaction. We are now at a time when information is becoming so important to support and guide the discovery process. At the same time the opportunity to communicate your science to the masses is upon us. I will discuss how I became the ChemConnector, my Twitter handle, and why I believe entering the field of cheminformatics at this time holds incredible potential for influence.

Strategic management: Apple Company
Apple Inc is a company that has been successful in the field of technology especially from its manufacture of high quality computers. The company also has been successful due to the market grip by iPhones and iPads (Carlton, & Kawasaki, 2013). The company has been making huge profits in the recent past. Recently, the market share of the company has really reduced due to the entry of so many companies making cheaper phones and computers. Strategic management is therefore important to restore the profit level of the company.
The market for mobile phones, pads and computers is a competition where there are no restrictions to entry and exit. There has therefore been an influx of companies selling their own brands of mobile phones and computers. The prices offered by these companies are lower than the price of apple products. As a result, it is important for the company to strategize on how to reclaim its market share. The main competitors of Apple include dell, Samsung, Toshiba, Compaq, Acer, Asus, among others phone and computers manufacturers (Carlton, & Kawasaki, 2013).
The company’s strategic management has identified intensive marketing and promotions as the step the company will make to reclaim the market share. The management of the company believes that, intensive advertising would solve the company’s decreased market share nightmare. The company’s management has identified several modes of advertising that will be utilized to implement this strategy.
The company will for instance put advertisements in the media. The media advertisements will be centered at making the public understand the products that the company offers (Lavidge, & Steiner, 2012). In televisions, there will be exhibit of the real products that the company offers. The will be display of mobile phones, iPhones and iPads on the television screen. The adverts will be a minimum of one minute long to increase the time that prospective consumers see the adverts. As a result, the company is likely to attract more customers.
The company will also utilize billboards to achieve its new marketing strategy. Billboards are large pictorials that are placed mostly on road sides and also across walls of tall buildings. The aim of billboard advertising is to ensure that, the adverts are seen by as many customers as possible (Rossiter, & Percy, 2011). The billboard pictorials will have pictures of the company’s products, which include the mobile phones, iPads, iPhones and laptops. The pictorials will exhibit the quality of the products. Alongside the pictures of these products will be the description of the features t ...

HIT164 Computing Fundamentals
TOPICS (CHOOSE ONE)
Option 1: Social Media
GeoCities is a web hosting service which employs the concept/metaphors of “cities” and “neighbourhood” in real-world. For example, computer-related sites are placed in “SiliconValley” and entertainment sites in “Hollywood”. GeoCities was the third-most visited website at its peak when it was acquired by Yahoo! in 1999.
10 years later as social media had taken over and become mainstream on the Internet, GeoCities was shutdown and
deleted. However, the Internet Archive team made a backup of the site just before it was shut down to preserve the effort put in by around 35 million people since it started. The resulting 650GB archive was published online as a remembrance of the glorious days of GeoCities.
Will current social media (i.e., Facebook) eventually face the same fate? Justify your arguments with robust supporting evidence.
Option 2: Li-Fi
Wi-Fi is a popular networking technology that allows electronic devices to connect to the Internet wirelessly using radio frequency. It can be commonly seen from mobile devices to government facility. However in recent years, researchers have found a way to utilise visible light from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to transmit data: such technology is called Li-Fi (light fidelity).
Even though Li-Fi is still at its infancy, many universities and researchers are actively studying to reach its potential.
Compare Wi-Fi and Li-Fi critically and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Li-Fi.
Option 3: Wearable Technology
Google Glass is one of the first and most talked about augmented reality wearable computers in 2013. Its usage varies from personal entertainment to surgical practise. Similar to other emerging technologies, Google Glass has also received quite a few negative critical receptions, such as privacy concern.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

11. UK trends
and economy
Exports:
Exports represented just 15.3% of
GDP in 2015, a much lower level
than in other large EU member
states. Exports (in dollars) fell by
9.8% in 2015 while gains of 4.3%
are forecast in 2016.
Employment:
The services sector accounts for 78.7% of GDP.
The services sector will continue to be the main
engine of UK growth for both output and
employment, with manufacturing growth having
slowed due to renewed stagnation in key
European export markets.
Higher education:
The UK’s 2015 higher education rate was the seventh
highest in the world. This rate rose steadily since 2010, as
the job market increasingly requires people that have
attained higher education. However, costs per year to obtain
higher education are rising and are expected to rise further,
as the government plans to raise the ceiling for annual
tuition fees of £9,000 in 2016 for domestic students. This
could potentially make access to higher education difficult;.
Infrastructure:
National Infrastructure
Delivery Plan (2016-2021)
was commissioned by the
government, with over
£12.6 billion to be invested
in improving the
infrastructural
competitiveness of the
economy. This would
further reinforce the
competitiveness of the UK
business environment..
R&D:
Expenditure on R&D was lower than certain
countries of the developed world, such as
France, Germany and the USA. The
government has been investing in R&D via
initiatives, such as Innovate UK since 2007,
which was allocated a budget of £1.5 billion for
2015-16.

only
https://flic.kr/p/7EtvYA
The databases are strictly for private, non-commercial,
research purposes only.
You can browse the databases online as much as you like
but please refrain from downloading more than 25
reports from a single database in 24 hours.
Please do not post any PDFs on the VLE as this will break
our copyright agreements (posting the link is fine).
Here is a short tour of our website which can be found here: http://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/faculty-research/information-library-services/.
To search through Cambridge Library Catalogues: http://search.lib.cam.ac.uk/ (Please note that Cambridge is updating their library search and it is due to change sometime this term.) In the library catalogue, you can gain access to your account using the 5 digit alphanumeric code on the bottom of you barcode on your university card and your last name. As an EMBA student you are entitled to borrow up to 10 items from the library for 6 weeks at a time. You can renew the book up to 12 times before having to bring it back. Please be aware that these books can be recalled and you will have 1 week to return the book (which can be sent by mail). We do have fines at the Library and they are .50p per day.
At the bottom of our website you will see a box that says ‘Chat with us’. This is our instant chat feature where you can speak with a real-live librarian during our staffed hours. If we are not here, the box will change and you can email us a message which we will answer when we are back in the Library.

We suggest you approach all information and data you find cautiously. Question veracity and quality.
Thinking critically about the information you are looking at
Mixing different types of data
Here is our A-Z list of databases on our website. We gave you a handout in the session listing 7 databases of the 50 here that we advise you start with (which we also demonstrated): Business Source Complete, Factiva, Fame, Passport, IBISWorld, Key Note, MarketLine. We also advised you to use the ‘eresources@Cambridge’ link on this list to access databases in other disciplines if needed. Go to: www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/infolib to access our databases.
IBIS World – trade association, government bodies, governance & ethical standards within that industry
https://www.flickr.com/photos/rgt3/4457946751/
We need to be upfront about the fact that we do not have spare budget to purchase individual market research reports for your projects. We have committed our funds to providing access to a wide array of aggregated market research providers (Euromonitor, MarketLine, IBISWorld, Key Note).
https://www.flickr.com/photos/proimos/4199675334
As we showed you in the session, the fact that the database yields zero results for your search is not always an indicator that the database is no good. Look closer to home – to your search skills.
The most important piece of paper you will have received this week is your Raven password and ID. You will need this to access the majority of the databases. If you have not already done so you can change your password.
On a more serious note please be aware that these databases are for academic purposes only. They are not to be used for playing the stock market or for your work outside of your projects in your course. Our suppliers do track use of the database and block offenders. This can also lead to subscriptions being pulled completely including for the entire university. After your time here you are ‘commercial’ again.
There are also limits on how many reports you can download from a database. So if you are not sure what you are looking for, first browse it online and once you have found the articles or reports, then download them for your own personal use.
Finally, please be aware that you can not upload pdf’s of articles or reports that you have downloaded from the databases on the VLE. This is a violation of our copyright agreements and we will have to remove the material. If you do want to share something with your classmates, you are more than welcome to post a link.

As well as social media, we offer 1-2-1 or small group teaching. We can set up a meeting in person or remotely through Skype or any other channel. We can offer help and advice on starting your research project, getting the most out of our databases or on…
There are a number of tools that can be used to manage references such as Mendelay, Refwords, Microsoft, and EndNote. We suggest using Zotero as it is a free open source software that works well with our databases and we can provide you with support. Zotero can be downloaded at zotero.org. It works well with Firefox, but there are plug-ins for Chrome and Safari.
Since Cambridge is special, it also has its own twist on Harvard Referencing style. There is a file that we will provide you with on the VLE that can be dragged into Zotero.
Zotero is a great tool, but its not perfect so we do advise you review your citations and references before submitting your paper. We also have a database called Cite Them Rite which can be found through the database page. Cite them Right is a great tool to use if you want to reference anything from a tweet to lecture slides or notes. There is an index at the top of the screen, but the search box is probably better.
