Óskar is a politician in Iceland preparing a report on renewable energy initiatives for the government. He has found that firms are becoming more conscious about sustainability and investing in technologies that improve efficiency and give visibility into the value chain. Questions around how to produce more with less and secure future resources are trending.
Jopaul is concerned about India's declining competitive advantage and attractiveness to foreign investors due to less technological innovation and digital adoption. This fear-based environment could lead to a less productive society focused on traditional models within physical reach rather than optimization and global opportunities.

Understanding The Future of Production (4IR)Melody Ucros
Differing trajectories in production will play themselves out, based on the complex and volatile external environment. Here are four contrasting scenarios. (Created For: Economic Environment Course @ IE Business School)

Upwave: city dynamics and the coming economic revivalCCI
Countering the many claims that the best days of capitalism are over following the economic meltdown of 2008 onwards, this presentation provocatively argues that a new golden age of capitalism - or upwave - began around 2002, and despite the unstable markets in the western world of the past few years, this upwave will produce previously unseen levels of wealth creation during the next twenty years.
Basing this theory on the commercialisation of new technologies and the growth of new markets, the author claims that these positive trends are key to economic recovery in the US, UK and Europe. It argues that the true problem facing some countries in the West is government debt and that economic policy is of limited use in flexible and adaptive economies, where innovation, entrepreneurship and private investment should be encouraged in a range of regions.

Unforeseen Consequences of US Contracting Practices on the Afghan Local Commu...Greg Kleponis
While the ambitions of the projects funded by the United States contracting process are noble and the intentions are to elevate the economic and social conditions of the Afghan people are genuine, in many cases the reality is that it is having the opposite effect.
Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age. But we need to stretch further…

Flying High in a Globally Connected WorldAnja Hoffmann
CEOs are startled by the rising expectations of the connected customers. New digital technologies like mobile, analytics, and social media are advancing rapidly on the economic landscape. Data is the new "oil" in every industry, also in the travel industry. But there's a lot more to consider when you're looking for the next disruptive innovation in your industry.
How do you serve connected customers?
The whole universe is divided into two types of resources, one is natural resources and the other is human resources. Human resources are said to be great asset to the organization. An organization cannot build a good team of working professionals without good human resources.
The study of absenteeism is very important for any industry. This project report consists of detailed study on the present rate of workers absenteeism at Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd., Hubli, investigate reasons, and suggest measures to reduce absenteeism.
This survey helps companies to determine how their workers think, what they want and concerns, so that improvement can be made and stronger relationship can be developed.
The measures and employees suggestions to reduce absenteeism will result in increasing efficiency profit, better working conditions and other fringe benefits to employees.
For this purpose a sample of 50 employees was selected and survey was done with the help of questionnaire and the result is analysed.
Absenteeism refers to unauthorized absence of the employers from job mean failure of employees to report for work when they are scheduled to work. When employer remains absent without permission or informing it he is willful absent without leave. Compare to other countries the problem of rate of employees absenteeism in India is great. When the employees takes time of on a scheduled working day with permission it is authorized absence.
In these days when the needs of country require greater emphasis upon increasing of productivity and the economic rational utilization of time and material at our disposal it is necessary to minimize absenteeism to the maximum possible extent.
Recent service indicates the following trends in absenteeism. The higher rate of pay the greater the length of service of the employee and the fewer the absence. As an organization grows there is a tendency towards higher rate of absenteeism.
Single employee are absent more frequently than married employees. Younger employees are absents more than older employees but later are absent for longer period of time. Unionized organization have higher absenteeism rather than non union organization. Wages could be directly linked to attendance and their performance at work.
Good leave record of the employees is an important factor in considering for more responsible position. Habitual absenteeism must be treat as a misconduct and they are liable for disciplinary action.
In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
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

JOPAUL concluded that this

everything is done within physical
