Endowments And Asset Management in Germany - Panel In FrankfurtMarkus Hill
Open discussion: Endowments And Asset Management in Germany - input, ideas and suggestions are always welcome! Panel discussion (participants are foundation representatives and Markus Hill, moderated by the leading magazine DIE STIFTUNG in Germany) on topic "Foundations and Asset Management in Germany" (interest rates, assets, creative solutions for endowments to survive), Germany on 3 July 2013 On establishing many foundations in Germany banks are advising it. Currently they are facing great problems in identifying attractive investment opportunities in the low interest rate. It is interesting to acquire information how foundations from foreign countries deal with this crisis, since the purpose of the foundation must be a secure long term guarantee. The following questions could be an example to stress the points on a panel with a professional commentary: 1) Currently which investment alternatives are there for foundations ?
2) What role do banks abroad play concerning foundations? 3) What is the values of an external consultants for foundations? 4) What role can independent asset managers play? 5) Does foreign foundations conduct professionally than the German foreign foundations in asset management? 6) What creative possibilities are there in fundraising in the long term to fulfill the purpose of the foundation? 7 Is international know-how networks functioning (exchange of ideas) in which small and medium-sized foundations can also benefit? Many of the questions asked above is familiar to me in German speaking Europe. Nonetheless it is stimulating to know how German foundations can improve their angle from foreign foundations.

Local Content & Monetisation – A View from Europe
The local media landscape in Europe is unique in many ways and in particular is different to the US market. However, Google still dominates on the search side (both in terms of advertising and traffic volumes) in many European markets and is particularly strong in the UK. Yet Google is also a great source of traffic and revenue for many local publishers. In this panel we examine what makes local media different in Europe. We will explore how media owners are attracting users and growing traffic. Will look at innovative partnerships and business models. In addition we will discuss what strategies are working for attracting local advertising revenue and look at where growth is coming from 2010 and beyond.

LAS 3 ‘C’ DE LAS ALIANZAS ESTRATÉGICAS. Complementariedad, corresponsabilidad...Fundación CODESPA
Cuando se trata de hacer accesible un producto a comunidades de bajos recursos, se han de combinar muchas áreas de conocimiento para superar con éxito las distintas fases y condiciones; desde la adaptación de la idea original de un producto, la necesidad de crear un modelo de aprovisionamiento y de generar una demanda, hasta la necesidad de conocer el contexto local y sus costumbres, políticas locales que le puedan afectar, etc.
Surge de ahí la importancia de los partenariados y alianzas para el desarrollo a lo largo de todos los procesos involucrados en el diseño y desarrollo de mercados de tecnologías y servicios adaptados a la Base de la Pirámide.
¿Qué actores participan en el desarrollo de mercados de tecnologías y servicios para la Base de la Pirámide? ¿Cómo se generan alianzas entre estos actores? A nivel internacional, parece ya superado el debate de si el sector privado es o no es un actor necesario para la consecución de objetivos de lucha contra la pobreza, y las discusiones comienzan ya a centrarse en como maximizar las alianzas estratégicas como herramienta de innovación social. En esta presentación, analizaremos estos elementos de la mano de la Agencia de Cooperación Alemana (GIZ), que cuenta con una extensa experiencia en este ámbito.
About 82% of SME bank loan applications in Germany are approved; compared to only 50% for UK SMEs. But there are hurdles for smaller applicants, in Germany as well as Europe-wide. According to the European Central Bank, larger European SMEs more likely to obtain bank loans than their smaller counterparts. So what are the alternatives to bank loans for smaller SME’s?
What we recommend the European Commission to do on IP rights to curb innovation and growth within Europe.
The base for innovation is today much based on IC. The sustainable value creation is different on Europe compared to major regions like the US and China. We focus more on the resources for creation and care about a fare distribution of the outcome. The European Commission in Brussels should take this into consideration.

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

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.

Holger Mueller of Constellation Research shares his key takeaways from SAP's Sapphire confernece, held in Orlando, June 3rd till 5th 2024, in the Orange Convention Center.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Editor's Notes
Impact Investors also take more risk in favor of the social cause! That is what makes them different from Goldman Sachs
