Open Innovation: An Paradigm Shift for Sustainable Brand Pioneers - Henry Che...Sustainable Brands
Open innovation is the use of purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate internal value creation, and expand the markets for external use of innovation. The paradigm assumes that for invention and scientific advancement, firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to market, as they look to advance their technology. Dr. Henry Chesborough provides a look at the idea of open innovation as a backdrop to this year's launch of GreenXChange, an open sustainable intellectual property platform and coalition launched at Davos in January.

SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) invest most of their resources in R&D to produce new technologies. They take higher risks than larger companies, who in contrast focus their R&D efforts on incremental innovations.
Yet, SMEs mostly fail to protect the value they create with patents. When they do, these patents have in general very poor quality and do not adequately protect their core markets. Lastly, SMEs are underserved in terms of legal representation and understandably so: outside law firms tend to find it difficult to work with SMEs, let alone getting paid for their services.
There is a mismatch between the patent value creation potential of SMEs on one hand, and what they actually produce.

Open Innovation Seminar (29th January 2013):
The “Open Innovation” paradigm is being widely proclaimed as the answer to the issues of expediting commercial success from technology and strengthening industrial competitiveness. However, the term can mean different things to different people according to their sector of industry, place in value chain, and company size. Open innovation sounds very attractive in theory, but in practice, unless well planned by all participants, can give rise to some unanticipated logistical and management issues. Different real scenarios from the speaker’s experience are presented and discussed.

This interactive debate will analyze different platforms that are meant to accelerate innovation. You will leave with a better understanding of the options that are out there and whether it makes sense for you to invest in a certain platform. In reaching their conclusion, innovation professionals must:
Weigh the pros and cons of turning to a technology provider to help solve your OI needs
Understand the landscape of open innovation intermediaries and platforms
Make the most of your investment in an OI platform

Management Functions:
Henri Fayol (1841–1925) was one of the most influential contributors to modern concepts of management.
Henri Fayol considers management to consist of six core functions:
1. Forecasting
2. Planning
3. Organizing
4. Commanding
5. Coordinating, and
6. Controlling
These functions separate the management process from other business functions such as marketing, accounting, and finance.
What Managers Do?
Managers must do five basic functions – planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling.
Managers must plan, or narrow goals from their broadest to most intricate form. They must organize and create a structure for daily tasks and communication.
According to Henry Fayol, “To manage is to forecast and plan, to organize, to command, & to control”. Whereas Luther Gullick has given a keyword ’POSDCORB’ where P stands for Planning, O for Organizing, S for Staffing, D for Directing, Co for Co-ordination, R for reporting & B for Budgeting. But the most widely accepted are functions of management given by KOONTZ and O’DONNEL i.e. Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing and Controlling.
Introduction to Entrepreneurial Management - Entrepreneurship 101 (2012/2013)MaRS Discovery District
Starting a new business is not the same as running an operating business. As Steve Blank puts it "a startup is an idea looking for a business model". Over the last decade a number of management practices have emerged that recognizes the particular challenges facing new ventures. In particular, Blank's Customer Development Model and the related "Lean" movement are increasingly popular with entrepreneurs of all sorts. This lecture introduces and define the key concepts of the new entrepreneurial management practices and illustrate how startups can utilize them at any step of their process.

A webinar presentation by Tom Grant, Sr. Analyst from Forrester and hosted by Accept Software & AIPMM.
Social media have demolished the myth that technology vendors were the sole source of innovation in this industry. While technology vendors have great ideas, so too do customers. Just as importantly, innovation is more than just “ideation” or invention. The classic friction between IT and business shows how the success of new ideas depends on acceptance and adoption.
Social media now offer a way for technology vendors to harness the good ideas of their customers, often through the Web 2.0 tools (forums, blogs, Wikis, etc.) that the vendors themselves sponsor. At the same time, social media can help vendors get under the skin of their target users and stakeholders, gaining critical insights that can help make better product decisions more quickly. The broader landscape of social media, beyond what the vendors themselves sponsor, are often the sources of these insights.
However, using social media in this fashion is not for amateurs. Meeting the information management challenges these new resources pose requires skill that not every product team may have, and tools with greater capabilities than spreadsheets and word processing documents.
This is a high-level overview for planning R&D projects to reach an implementation phase within the internal organization.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
