This document summarizes the newsletter of the Oikado Martial Arts School in Botswana. It discusses the branding of various Oikado dojos with names like Tigers, Lions' Den, etc. It also summarizes events at the 2015 IKO Doshin Kai Championships in South Africa and the honorary promotions of Lt. Gen. Louis Matshwenyego Fisher and Lameck Nthekela to 3rd Dan and 2nd Dan black belts respectively in recognition of their service to Oikado. Finally, it includes snippets of dialogue between Hanshi Dr. Patrick Makgabenyana and Kyoshi Moses Kgosibodiba on issues related to developing Oikado.
Chief Information Officers (CIOs) will face dramatic changes in the next five to seven years, as architecture, engineering, and construction and owner-operated (AEC/O) firms come to grip with the massive amounts of information being generated by all things digital. They will face new technology, redefined business processes, and shifting customer demands, both internally and externally. Leading this evolution will be critical, as CIOs are the key company decision makers and leaders within AEC/O firms, determining the success of a firm’s growth and business strategies by understanding the intersection of information and business value.
The Phoenix International Media Center in Beijing used BIM exclusively to design its striking curved form, inspired by a Möbius strip. BIM helped optimize the building's shape for energy efficiency and wind performance. It also aided steel fabrication by modeling how the steel would bend. BIM facilitated a paperless process and saved over $6 million through design improvements to the curtainwall. The digital model will also benefit long-term operations and maintenance.
This document discusses electronic commerce and how organizations use information technology to engage in e-commerce. It defines key terms like electronic commerce, business-to-consumer, business-to-business, and mobile commerce. The benefits of e-commerce include improved customer service and relationships. Constraints include costs and security concerns. Interorganizational systems and strategies like extranets are discussed as ways for businesses to collaborate electronically. The growth of mobile commerce using devices like smartphones is also summarized.
