13 Easy Steps To Improve Your Critical Thinking SkillsBernard Marr
In today’s increasingly digital world, we are bombarded with data and information, and much of that data is fake and biased. Critical thinking, the ability to find trustworthy data and use it to make decisions, is an increasingly important workplace skill. Here we look at ways to improve it.
10 Insightful Quotes On Designing A Better Customer ExperienceYuan Wang
In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.
Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

New Era. New Opportunities.
Devastating in so many ways, it cannot be denied that the pandemic has also been deeply transformative, accelerating new ways of living, working and thinking across almost every layer of our lives. Social is no exception.
At Punch, we’ve seen explosive growth in areas like intimate live social events, tutorials, workshops and shoppable content, as brands seek to add value to their customers’ lives and form deeper, longer-lasting connections with their followers.
Where the past decade has seen us confronting the more challenging aspects of social, things like data privacy, mental health and politics, 2021 has given us plenty of exciting signals that point towards a new era of social that starts right now – Web 3.0. With new opportunities coming at brands left, right and centre, we’re about to see a deep shift, with creators and innovators taking the reins and decentralising the power held by the big blue platforms since the mid-noughties.
In this report, we naturally discuss the emerging vision of the metaverse. The metaverse represents huge opportunity for brands; for some, early adoption might prove to be a key strategic investment. But the metaverse isn’t what excites us at the moment (sorry Zuck). With revolution in the air, we want to know what the underdogs are doing: the tech dreamers, the NFT kids, the creators. As creators become more and more valued for the central role they play in making social a fun place to be, we are already seeing examples of individuals breaking away and building their own niche communities. Whether they start to take large swathes of the larger platforms’ audiences with them remains to be seen. What can brands learn from their thinking – and how can we forge better and more creative partnerships? This is the big question of 2022.
Certain trends from last year, notably s-commerce and live video, are back for another year. The challenge with video is how to leverage new tools and techniques to create video content at scale in fresh, creative and authentic ways. We’re also starting to see audiences being actively rewarded for their loyalty and engagement, with highly-creative community managers and efficient and proactive customer service teams. Web 3.0 is unfolding; a bolder, fairer and more democratic digital playground where creativity and loyalty trump all. As user numbers grow and platforms and audiences mature further, budgets are likely to shift towards a combination of acquisition AND driving loyalty and retention.
“Community” is our key buzzword for 2022. Whether you’re getting in on the ground floor of branded NFT “moments”, exploring the hotter- and-hotter world of gaming, or investing more in cinematic video, success will depend on centring your community, acting thoughtfully and, as always, creating difference with mind blowing content and standout campaigns.

NFTs and online events are exploding, opening up a world of possibilities for the metaverse and associated technologies.
The transition to the Metaverse is fast approaching. Several components and features of this open-source platform have progressed to the point where they may be smoothly merged to investigate the idea of building a parallel virtual reality. NFTs and online events are exploding, opening up a world of possibilities for the metaverse.

Learning Objectives
1. Be familiar with Facebook’s origins, rapid rise, and rocky first-year performance as a public company.
2. Understand how Facebook’s rapid rise has impacted the firm’s ability to raise venture funding and its founder’s ability to maintain a controlling interest in the firm.
It’s hard not to be awed by what Mark Zuckerberg has created. An effort launched from his college dorm is now a species-level phenomenon. Even after deleting a jaw-dropping two billion fake accounts, roughly one in every five people on the planet has a Facebook account—an amazing track record given that Facebook is technically banned in China (taking about 20 percent of the world population off the table). Want to connect to customers? Facebook is increasingly the place to be. The firm’s daily traffic is three times larger than the viewership of the Super Bowl. Facebook accounts for the largest share of the most popular activity (social networking) on the most widely used computing devices (smartphones). The firm’s growing arsenal of apps accounts for 30 percent of US mobile Internet use. And even after two brutal years of bad press following controversies over fake news and abuse of user data, as of this writing it is the fifth most valuable public company on Earth. Outside the US, global growth is on a tear, with over 85 percent of Facebook users coming from abroad, and Zuckerberg, through his philanthropic effort Internet.org, is determined to put the entire planet online.

The Rise of Facebook and Growing Concerns
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg looked like a social media pioneer from the start. Consider this: During the weeks he spent working on Facebook as a Harvard sophomore, he didn’t have time to study for a course he was taking, “Art in the Time of Augustus,” so he built a website containing all of the artwork in class and pinged his classmates to contribute to a communal study guide. Within hours, the wisdom of crowds produced a sort of custom CliffsNotes for the course, and after reviewing the Web-based crib sheet, he aced the test. Turns out he didn’t need to take that exam, anyway. Zuck (that’s what the cool kids call him) dropped out of Harvard later that year.
By the age of twenty-three, Mark Zuckerberg had graced the cover of Newsweek, been profiled on 60 Minutes, and was discussed in the tech world with a reverence previously reserved only for the late Steve Jobs and the Google guys, Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Zuckerberg went on to be named Time’s “Person of the Year,” and The Social Network, a (mostly fictionalized) account of Facebook’s founding, was a box-office smash, nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award. Facebook’s controversial 2012 public offering valued the firm at over $100 billion, and the $16 billion raised in the offering made it (at the time) the ...

Facebook: Imperial ambitions
Mark Zuckerberg prepares to fight for dominance of the next era of computing
Print edition | Leaders
Apr 9th 2016
NOT since the era of imperial Rome has the “thumbs-up” sign been such a potent and public symbol of power. A mere 12 years after it was founded, Facebook is a great empire with a vast population, immense wealth, a charismatic leader, and mind-boggling reach and influence. The world’s largest social network has 1.6 billion users, a billion of whom use it every day for an average of over 20 minutes each. In the Western world, Facebook accounts for the largest share of the most popular activity (social networking) on the most widely used computing devices (smartphones); its various apps account for 30% of mobile internet use by Americans. And it is the sixth-most-valuable public company on Earth, worth some $325 billion.
Even so, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s 31-year-old founder and chief executive, has even greater ambitions (see article). He has plans to connect the digitally unconnected in poor countries by beaming internet signals from solar-powered drones, and is making big bets on artificial intelligence (AI), “chatbots” and virtual reality (VR). This bid for dominance will bring him into increasing conflict with the other great empires of the technology world, and Google in particular. The ensuing battle will shape the digital future for everyone.
Empires built on data
Facebook has prospered by building compelling services that attract large audiences, whose attention can then be sold to advertisers. The same is true of Google. The two play different roles in their users’ lives: Google has masses of data about the world, whereas Facebook knows about you and your friends; you go to Google to get things done, but turn to Facebook when you have time to kill. Yet their positions of dominance and their strategies are becoming remarkably similar. Unparalleled troves of data make both firms difficult to challenge and immensely profitable, giving them the wealth to make bold bets and to deal with potential competitors by buying them. And both firms crave more users and more data—which, for all the do-gooding rhetoric, explains why they are both so interested in extending internet access in the developing world, using drones or, in Google’s case, giant balloons.
The task is to harness data to offer new ser.

Worst tech mergers and acquisitions Cisco and Linksys; Appl.docxhelzerpatrina
Worst tech mergers and acquisitions: Cisco
and Linksys; Apple and Lala.com
By ZDNet EditorsALERTS: Redundant link for Between the Lines | September 20, 2016
Original Source
(Note: not all examples are provided in this document)
Corporate mergers - like marriages - can result in the whole being stronger than its
parts -- or they can end in utter disaster. The IT industry has suffered its share of
disastrous marriages. We're counting down the worst of the worst...
CISCO & LINKSYS
Cisco entered the highly competitive small office and home office market back in 2003,
by purchasing LINKSYS for $500M.
Linksys, once the dominant player in the space has since been joined by NETGEAR, D-
LINK, ASUS and numerous other vendors making nearly identical products, not to
mention that many service providers and telcos have also issued their own integrated
OEM Wi-Fi routers/residential gateways included as part of basic service offerings.
Linksys as a result fell on hard times -- first being somewhat neglected by its parent
company Cisco in the last several years, releasing extremely commoditized and less-
reliable products.
Various experimentation with "router design of the month" and heavy product overlap
had produced a lousy generation of home routers by 2010, which required a complete
re-design in 2011. Arguably this did improve the quality of LINKSYS's products. But it
was too late.
While LINKSYS did eventually solve its engineering issues, Cisco could not make the
consumer products division profitable when compared to its enterprise networking
equipment division.
LINKSYS is now owned by Belkin, and has since been producing very good quality
SOHO routers again, such as those which embrace the current 802.11ac "Wave 2"
standard.
APPLE & LALA
With most of the company mergers listed in this piece, although many of them turned
out horribly, you can at least say that the intentions of the company doing the
https://www.zdnet.com/article/worst-tech-mergers-acquisitions-cisco-linksys-apple/
acquisition had the objective of actually integrating the assets of the company being
acquired and making money with it.
I mean, this is usually why you acquire another company, right?
Apple bought music streaming service Lala.com back in December of 2009 for about
$80M. If you recall, Lala was doing some innovative things around pricing and service
offerings in the music streaming business, and our own Ed Bott picked it as his favorite
among iTunes alternatives in his article written in April of 2009.
Well, Lala was being so innovative that it scared the hell out of Apple, so the company
simply killed it.
No further development, no integration into iTunes, nada.
While the financial impact of Lala's death is far smaller than any of the mergers and
acquisitions listed in this rogue's gallery, it is by far the worst and most malicious case of
corporate merger infanticide I have ever seen to date.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

“To be integrated is to feel secure, to feel connected.” The views and experi...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.
