The document discusses asymmetric threats and how organizations must prepare for them in the 21st century. As globalization increases, traditional borders are blurring and state and non-state actors are utilizing asymmetric means to overcome advantages. Threats like cyber attacks, IP theft, and terrorism are forcing public and private sectors to work together in new ways. The document then poses a series of questions about how competitive actions could be perceived as threats, how misinformation online creates supply chain vulnerabilities, and how information control could degrade strategic planning abilities.
This document outlines information about the IMD Alumni Club in South Africa, including its executive committee members and planned events. The executive committee is led by President Adam Craker and includes officers like Secretary René Dreyer and Treasurer Bennie Groenewald. Planned events from July 2015 to January 2016 include a networking event called "Africa Rising" as well as visits from IMD faculty and EMBA students. The club also aims to improve its benchmarking scores in areas like governance, operations, and securing more funding and sponsorships.
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 emphasized standardized testing in core subjects like math and reading, leading many school districts to cut funding to arts, music and theater programs. As a result, millions of students no longer had access to humanities education. Research shows that arts education enhances skills in other subjects and develops important life skills. Recent legislative efforts aim to give states more control over standards and restore funding and access to well-rounded educational programs that include the humanities.
Deregulation in many countries in the late 20th century allowed large multinational banks like Citibank to emerge and for employers to offshore jobs abroad for greater efficiency. As economies grew, businesses, consumers, and homebuyers took on increasing debt while banks freely lent money, fueling economic booms. Employers offshored even highly skilled jobs such as managers abroad for lower costs.
Phidias sculpted a massive gold and ivory statue of Athena for the Parthenon in Athens in the 5th century BC. The statue stood about 9-11 meters tall and depicted Athena standing upright wearing armor decorated with Medusa and snakes. She held a winged Nike in one hand and a spear with a dragon in the other. After completing the statue, Phidias was falsely accused of embezzling gold but proved his innocence. The statue's fate after being removed from the Parthenon is unknown, but marble replicas have been found in museums today.

Her dark makeup and claw-like nails add to the image of her overcoming bullying and hardship to become a successful global superstar, as referenced in one of her songs.
