This document summarizes key trends in internet and mobile usage from a presentation given on May 30, 2012. It finds that while internet and mobile adoption continues to grow rapidly globally, mobile monetization faces challenges. Specifically, mobile advertising rates and revenues per user are significantly lower than desktop levels, constraining revenue growth for companies even as user engagement shifts to mobile. However, the document also notes that the mobile market still has significant room for monetization growth over time.

This document summarizes key trends in internet and mobile usage from a presentation given on May 30, 2012. It finds that while internet and mobile adoption continues to grow rapidly globally, mobile monetization faces challenges. Specifically, mobile advertising rates and revenues per user are significantly lower than desktop levels, constraining revenue growth for companies like Google and Facebook as mobile usage increases. However, mobile traffic and transactions are also growing quickly, presenting opportunities for new business models to better monetize the mobile ecosystem.
The document discusses trends in internet and mobile device usage from 2012. It notes that global internet users grew by 8% in 2011 to over 2 billion, with most growth occurring in emerging markets like China and India. Mobile adoption is also growing rapidly, with over 1 billion global 3G subscribers by late 2011, though this still only represents 18% of mobile users. The iPad saw much faster adoption than the iPod or iPhone, shipping over 70 million units in its first 8 quarters. Android phone adoption has also ramped up faster than the iPhone.

China, Rethink - Why China needs to rethink its modern 'Journey to the West'Morry Morgan
The document discusses China's need to rethink its modernization path based on three realities: low employee engagement, high employee turnover, and poor management practices in Chinese companies. It provides data showing that Chinese workers have among the lowest levels of engagement globally and high levels of disengagement. Turnover rates in China increase significantly after Chinese New Year. Studies also rate Chinese management as some of the worst compared to other countries. The document argues that Chinese companies need to adopt practices from foreign multinationals operating in China in order to improve these issues.
Findings of Symantec's 2010 State of the Data Center study. Now in its third year, the study found that mid-sized enterprises (2,000 to 9,999 employees) are more likely to adopt cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, deduplication, replication, storage virtualization, and continuous data protection than small or large enterprises to reduce IT costs and manage increasing complexity.

Impacts of economic recession on cambodia garment industriesNarith Por
The document summarizes the impacts of the global economic recession of 2007-2009 on Cambodia's garment industries. It finds that Cambodia's economy slowed during the recession as exports dropped 23% to the US and Europe. This led to over 60,000 garment workers being laid off. Factories closed and wages declined, hurting workers. The recession exposed Cambodia's garment industry's vulnerability to downturns in US retail sales. Diversifying markets and creating unemployment funds were recommended to mitigate future impacts.
The pharmaceutical market in Indonesia is growing rapidly. GDP growth reached 6.1% in 2010 and nominal GDP is projected to grow 15% to around Rp7,500 trillion in 2011. Total health expenditure as a percentage of GDP has averaged 2% but the government aims to increase this to 5% by 2015 through expanding national health insurance. The growing middle class, rising incomes, urbanization, and focus on healthcare are driving demand for pharmaceutical products. The pharmaceutical industry in Indonesia is dominated by domestic firms and relies heavily on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients. The market is expected to continue strong growth of 13.4% annually through 2014 due to economic and demographic factors.
This document discusses the benefits and considerations of outsourcing data center operations. It notes that outsourcing can help avoid capital expenditures and issues around limited IT skills and technology challenges. However, there are also cases where maintaining internal data centers makes sense due to assets, custom systems, security, or regulatory requirements. The document then summarizes trends in the global and Asian data center markets and drivers of outsourcing like cost savings, performance, and new technologies like virtualization and green IT. It profiles Tata Communications' data center strategy and global footprint to provide outsourcing services.
The document discusses building change that customers will notice in the banking industry. It notes that while some phrases don't change, their meanings have evolved over time. Customer preferences for channels have also shifted, with in-person interactions still preferred for opening accounts but online and mobile growing significantly. Younger customers and wealthier segments prefer more digital options. The document advocates understanding customer data and channel preferences to provide a consistent experience across applications and locations. Building agility requires organizing channels together, taking action on insights continuously, and reviewing processes for extension to other channels.
1. The Asia Pacific region saw steady economic growth from 2008 to 2019, led by China, India, and Indonesia. Most countries experienced a dip during the global financial crisis in 2008-2009 but recovered strongly after.
2. The population is aging in most countries as birth rates decline, which will constrain faster economic growth going forward due to a slowing expansion of the labor force.
3. Household wealth indicators like number of households earning over $10,000 and $35,000 per year grew substantially from 2014 to 2019 across the region, reflecting rising incomes.
The document provides an overview of Tele2 AB's financial performance in Q4 2012. Some key points:

n China remains the major sending country to the UK and following only modest growth last year and three years of
decline prior to that, the number of Chinese students in the UK has now passed the high point of 2004–05 to reach
60,660. This represents a growth of over 20 per cent compared to 2008–09 figures.
n India continues to grow strongly although the increase of 11.8 per cent appears modest compared to last year’s numbers.
n India and China together make up nearly one third of all non-EU students in the UK HE system (32.7 per cent), and the
top five sending markets (China, India, USA, Nigeria and Malaysia) account for more than 50 per cent of non-EU students
in HE in the UK.
2. n USA and Hong Kong have turned around the slight declines experienced last year and have grown by 8.7 per cent and
3.3 per cent respectively.
n Saudi Arabia continues to grow at an astonishing rate with a growth of 55.6 per cent building on last year’s growth of 45
per cent. The number of students from Saudi Arabia has grown 126 per cent in two years and now stands at 8,775.
n Taiwan has dropped out of the top ten non-EU sending countries to the UK, and is replaced by Thailand who
experienced nearly 17 per cent growth.

Growth in first year student numbers
174,885 non-EU first year students enrolled in UK HE in 2009–10. This is an increase of 12.2 per cent on 2008–09.
First year students from Nepal grew 105 per cent, Saudi Arabia saw a 63 per cent increase, Kazakhstan 57 per cent,
and Libya 48 per cent.
The number of new students from South Korea dropped 1 per cent compared to 2008–09. Pakistan decreased
3 per cent and Kenya dropped 5 per cent despite these markets growing overall.
This could be an early indication that these markets are going to shrink.
4. What level are they studying at?
The majority of non-UK domiciled students study postgraduate taught (PGT) programmes (predominantly one-year
Masters courses) and first degree programmes. Roughly one in eight non-UK students study at postgraduate research
level, and a similar proportion study at ‘other undergraduate’ level. The size of the population at both postgraduate
taught and first degree level are three times as large.

What subjects are they studying?
The most popular subject area for non-EU students in 2009–10 continues to be Business and Administrative studies,
and in particular the subjects of Business studies and Management studies. The subject area hosted 93,420 non-EU
students in 2009–10 and experienced 15 per cent growth, Accounting and Finance in particular recorded very strong
growth (of around 20 per cent). Electronic and electrical engineering remains the most popular subject outside of
business disciplines.
All subject areas recorded a positive growth apart from ‘Education’ (-1 per cent) and ‘Historical and Philosophical
studies’ (-5 per cent).
Focussing on new students (first year) by subject area, many subject areas recorded a double-digit growth in this category
of student in 2009–10, including ‘Mass communications and documentation’, ‘Mathematical sciences’ and ‘Languages’.
