The document discusses challenges in measuring the digital economy within macroeconomic statistics and national accounts. It summarizes various international responses to these challenges, including projects by the OECD, IMF, and advisory groups. An advisory group proposed a multidimensional framework to characterize different aspects of the digital economy, including the nature of transactions, products, actors, and enabling factors. This framework could form the basis of an experimental satellite account to better capture digital economic activity. The document seeks feedback on operationalizing this framework and ensuring it meets key policy needs.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

in a Digitalised Economy
• Consists of 40 members: NSOs, Eurostat, IMF, UN,
and members of WPMADE
• Survey of Digital Economy Typology
– Initial framework based on digital trade framework
– Questions on country practices with regards to digital
intermediaries
– Identifying data gaps
– How to highlight the digital economy
10
11. Digital economy typology
• The majority of the AG agreed with the multi-
dimensional scope proposed
• Different views of the digital economy
depending on what you want to study
• Some refinement was needed to make it
operational for a potential satellite account on
the digital economy
– Dimensions further disaggregated (or dissected
in different ways)
– Additional category specifying SNA production
boundary 11
13. • Digitally ordered
– The sale or purchase of a good or service, conducted over
computer networks by methods specifically designed for the
purpose of receiving or placing orders (follows OECD ecommerce
definition)
• Platform enabled
– Transactions that are facilitated via online intermediary platforms
that match buyer and supplier (e.g. eBay, Amazon, Uber)
• Platform may be based domestically or abroad, foreign or domestically owned
• Digitally delivered
– ‘downloadable’ services and data flows (software, data, database
services, etc.)
Nature of transaction (‘how’)
13
14. • Traditional: Goods and services
• BUT: importance of data/information flows
that may not result in monetary transaction, but
may support one
– e.g. Facebook: advertising revenue is
captured, the data flows are currently not >
Measurement of consumer surpluses?
– E.g. Use of public goods (open-source/free
software)> currently no imputations are made
Product (‘what’)
14
15. • Producers
– Can be broken down in a number of ways
• Institutional sector (highlights the importance of ROW)
– Categories of industries
• Digital/non-digital industries and/or producers of digital
products
• Users
– Can be broken down in a number of ways
• Institutional sector (again including ROW)
• Industries, and also consumers of final demand (notably
households)
Actors involved (‘who’)
15
16. Other columns of framework
• Enablers
– Important pillar of the digital economy
– Namely investment and infrastructure
channels that help drive digital transformation
• SNA production boundary
– Not all transactions are currently within the
SNA production boundary
16
17. Questions on overarching framework
• Do you agree with the broad multi-
dimensional scope proposed?
• Do you think it is useful as an
organising principle?
17
19. • Preliminary stage… it is ambitious
– Driven by conceptual considerations and
policy needs
• Could be expanded…
– to develop gross and net capital stock
estimates (service lives, depreciation rates)
and capital services
– Price and volume measures
Proposal
19
20. Organising principle
• Nature of the transaction is organising principle
but… does not dictate what should be digital
goods and services or digital industries.
• Transactions that are in scope…
– only captures transactions that are either
‘digitally delivered’, digitally ordered, or platform
enabled
• Satellite account includes a separate section on
enablers (investment matrices) 20
24. Summary
• Issues paper builds upon the overarching
framework
• Satellite account designed to be flexible
– Does not define the digital economy but highlights
important transactions (and transactors)
– Despite bold ambition and wide coverage it is by no
means exhaustive…
• next phase…
– Price and volume measurement
– Capital stock (gross and net, service lives,
depreciation rates etc.) or estimates of capital
services
24
25. Questions on proposed satellite
account
• What is your opinion of the initial
proposal?
• Does the proposed satellite account
framework identify all the relevant
transactions?
• Is it missing anything, if so what?
• Does it meet, at the very least, the main
policy needs?
• AEG members invited to provide feedback
on questions posed in the issues paper.
25
There is a growing recognition that the role of digitalisation in our statistics is not sufficiently visible, which appears, at least in part, to explain the current hypothesis that mismeasurement of digitalised transactions is occurring.
It would be good to better identify the part of the digital economy that is already within official statistics so that indicators can be created.
The impact depends on whether the affected products are for final or intermediate uses, and on whether they are imported or domestically produced.
Graph only shows the growth rate adjustment implied by the lower bound price indices because the usual mismeasurement concern is that the official price indices under adjust for quality change.
Scenario I assumes that imports prices are measured well, so that the adjustments made to the price indices affect only volume estimates of final demand. (Shown by red square- this shows the largest impact on GDP growth (upward revision to GDP growth rates).
Scenario II assumes that only import prices are mismeasured and that final demand prices are measured well. (Shown by green triangle- this shows the smallest impact on GDP growth (downward revision to GDP growth rates)
Scenario III gives results in between these 2 extremes by adjusting both the final demand and import price indices. (Shown by purple asterisk- shows upward revision to GDP but not as much as in scenario I).
Under rather strong assumptions
Belgium shows that overall growth rates could be adversely affected by price mismeasurement by as much as 0.4 percent per year (unadjusted GDP growth rate was 1 %, adjusted GDP (red square) 1.4 %).
Implied adjustment are only around 0.2% for most countries.
Another reason to have more granular statistics available is to do more detailed analysis through what we call satellite accounting. This allows for showing the impact of say certain changes of what should be included within the framework and see the impact on economic growth…
The programming and broadcasting industry a little more than half of the countries experienced declines in inflation-adjusted turnover.
The industry that saw the strongest growth in most countries was the web portals industry. In the United States, the country with the largest share relative to GDP (at 0.4%), inflation-adjusted turnover for the web portals industry increased at an average annual growth rate of 20.6% between 2010 and 2013.
If free media funded by advertising were added to household consumption expenditures, the largest estimated impact would be in the United States. There, the average growth rate of GDP in 2011-2013 would increase by 0.07 percentage points, driven mainly by web portals.
web portals (includes operation of search engines and websites that act as portals to the Internet)
Basis for digital trade framework
Visible economic transaction… to be inscape needs to reflect at least one of the following: digitally ordered, platform enabled, and digitally delivered.
The third column, ‘product’, introduces information, or data, as a separate product to consider in addition to goods and services.
This reflects the fact that many transactions in data do not result in monetary transactions per se. Note that if there is an explicit monetary transaction - i.e. purchases/sales of data - then this should, in theory, be picked up within services, including knowledge based assets that are also classified as services, such as databases where the full value of the underlying ‘knowledge’ embodied in data may also be captured within ‘goodwill’, so, as currently classified, the item information/data refers primarily to exchanges of data/information where there is no monetary exchange. However the AG is asked to consider whether it would be useful to also separately identify ‘data and information’ exchange where there is a monetary transaction.
Highlights the importance of ROW and the high policy relevance of cross-border digital trade.
Prices and balance sheets
Breakdown of products based on nature of transaction
Including distinctions of resident & non-resident intermediary platforms
Whether the underlying product was imported or domestically produced
Role of digital platform intermediaries
Most AG thought the platform intermediation fees are digital services
Mixed response whether the full value of the intermediated service should be part of digital services… however may be useful to know
Satellite account highlights transactions facilitated by digital intermediary platforms
Gross flows and intermediation fees, shown separately
Further disaggregated by type of service provided(e.g., transportation services, accommodation/dwelling services, financial services, business services, household services, etc
Digitisation can arguably impact all industries
Digital industries could be the industries that produce the digital products…
Satellite account proposes breakdowns by
(1)household/corporations split; (2) digital enabling industries; and (3) digital platforms
The first type (column A and B) breaks down the relevant activity into activity performed by unincorporated households and activity performed by corporations; allowing an analysis of goods and services provided by the household sector within the ‘sharing’ economy, but also as a means of reinforcing estimation methods and methodologies in difficult to measure areas.
The second type (column C) separately identifies those industries engaged in the production of enabling tools (identified as the goods and services produced in the broad investment rows 50-55 and 58-63)). Feedback from the AG supported the view that the enabling industries (along with the enabling investment) should be separately identified.
The third type (column D) is to separately identify digital platforms, on which the AG has earlier expressed strong support. As noted above, digital platforms could be further broken down into digital intermediaries and other types of platforms, differentiating for example by the nature of service being intermediated (e.g., accommodation, transport).
