ABSTRACT
Digital media are changing the ways in which books are produced and consumed. In their wide diversity, digital "books" (from enhanced ebooks, to story apps, to game books) challenge the borderlines between books and other forms of digital media. Digital books simultaneously diverge from print books, drawing on other genres and conventions linked to digital affordances, but are also remediating print books, in terms of content, genre conventions, aesthetics, and so on. This presentation starts proposing a typology of digital books that takes into account media convergence, multimodality and remediation from print. Which, by the way, the author thinks will never die out!

Early in 2017 major Philippine brands have experienced domestic supply chain fails as a result of:
• Antiquated systems,
• Overly conservative and control oriented management
• An expectation of irregular supply on the part of consumers that there really is no outrage or consequence for companies.
• Lack of real competition as multiple industries and brands within an industry controlled by colonial legacy elites
• And of course, basic lack of skill as a result of some companies not hiring and or training skilled supply chain professionals

Europe, continent rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, is often synonymous with famous cities like Paris, Rome, and London.

In "Hidden Gems of Europe," we embark on a journey to uncover these secret spots, exploring the heart and soul of Europe through its quaint villages, charming towns, and secluded natural wonders. This book aims to inspire travelers to look beyond the obvious and venture into the lesser-explored corners of the continent, where true adventure and discovery await.

Optimizing Business Travel to Asia - Thoughts For Corporate Travel Managers
1. Optimizing Business Travel To
Asia
Best Options for Business Travel From Either the US or
Europe to Asia for a trip of 7 days considering cost,
recovery, morale, productivity, and health.
Bill Kohnen
January 2014
2. Executive Summary
For extended trips to Asia the optimum travel plan is
Travel via coach
Stay in a 5 Star Hotel (Shangri La, JW Marriott or
Peninsula)
Start work as soon as possible upon arrival
Travel home a day after concluding your business.
Bill Kohnen
January 2014
3. Methodology of Review
Assume US or European Business Traveler
Occasional to Frequent Business Traveler
Total trip length 7 or more days
Key Elements Considered:
Actual Cost
Productivity
Morale
Health
Recovery from trip
Travel Elements Considered
Class of Air travel
Hotel Class
Schedule
Data and rating based on proprietary content, interviews, data collection and market intelligence
Bill Kohnen
January 2014
4. Findings
Business travel can be 2.5x coach travel
Higher end hotels in Asia typical are 1.5 – 2.0 times the
cost of the lowest cost safe business hotel.
Hotels in Asia in general are lower cost relative to US
and Europe
Bill Kohnen
January 2014
5. Findings
1. For an extended trip traveler experience generally is
influenced more heavily by hotel choice
2. Secondly it seems that starting work early upon arrival
but adding recovery time at end of trip is beneficial
Companies can accommodate both items to improve
total travel experience and save direct cost of 30%
Indirect costs related to productivity, health and morale
are debatable but estimates range from 1 to 3 times the
actual cost of the trip

7. Conclusion
Business travel to Asia from Europe or the US is expensive and hard on
travelers.
The best managed corporate travel programs recognize that meeting total
needs of travelers will result in lower actual and indirect costs.
The return on spend with higher end hotels in Asia is better than spend on
business class travel
Managing schedules is also important with astute travelers typically starting
work as soon as practical but at the end of a trip not rushing to catch the
next flight out as they might do with domestic travel.
Action: Negotiate Corporate Rates with High End Hotel Chains in Asia.
They all have direct Sales Representatives in the US and Europe.
