Complexity and Risk: Effective Business Community Management through Integrationjgatrell
Increased economic pressures and continuous changes in market dynamics businesses need to make decisions in real-time based on information from their suppliers and business partners. Global business communities are often at risk without visibility into key indicators which can impact their bottom line due to integration challenges within their back office and throughout the community.
This session will outline emerging trends and investments in managing business communities and illustrate how visibility integration and automation improved businesses execution. Real-time visibility will reduce the business impact from such events as compliance, charge backs, fulfillment or supplier rating issues caused by data quality issues and limited visibility due to integration gaps. These events can drastically stall the order-to-cash lifecycle and impact customer relationships.
This paper describes how we implement our inherent Data leakage prevention program that enables your organisation prospective compliance from implementation day.

Managed services involve transferring day-to-day management responsibilities to a service provider as a strategic method for improved operations. For RFID, managed services can include device/equipment management, line-of-business applications, and database/data management delivered as software-as-a-service, leasing/financing outsourcing services, or hybrid deployments that bundle hardware and software. Adoption of managed services models for RFID addresses problems with large legacy systems by shifting capital expenditures to operating expenditures and risks to the service provider while providing varied service cost models and support/upgrades included in costs. However, barriers to adoption include concerns over relinquishing control and risks associated with new business models.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

Let's be real for a second – the world of meme coins can feel like a bit of a circus at times. Every other day, there's a new token promising to take you "to the moon" or offering some groundbreaking utility that'll change the game forever. But how many of them actually deliver on that hype?
Seminar: Gender Board Diversity through Ownership NetworksGRAPE
Seminar on gender diversity spillovers through ownership networks at FAME|GRAPE. Presenting novel research. Studies in economics and management using econometrics methods.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

2. About PCI
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to ALL retailers and other merchants who store, process
or transmit cardholder data. Established by the five major credit card companies, it’s designed to ensure cardholders’
account and card information is protected and guarded after they conduct transactions across payment channels, including
POS terminals and ATMs. It consists of 12 basic requirements, and over 200 detailed sub-requirements.
