The document discusses how Singapore relies on foreign multinational corporations (MNCs) from different industries like manufacturing, aeronautics, biomedical services, and research and development to provide jobs. This is represented allegorically as a cake shop relying on multiple "factories" to supply cakes. Diversifying across industries through attracting MNCs is likened to having alternative factories to source cakes from. This reduces Singapore's economic vulnerability if MNCs move jobs elsewhere due to globalization, compared to relying on a single industry.
Information and knowledge are decisive in human development. Since the industrial revolution, information architecture designed on the principles of industrial economy has been predominant in the functioning of the society. The technological advances in Internet and Telecommunications within the society aided the shift from industrial economy to a services based economy are creating a foundation for a new order of information and knowledge access, control and transfer. The implications on the functioning of the governments, corporations and society notwithstanding, remains uncertain if these forces will lead to strengthening the order of information feudalism or would they create conditions for decentralization and diffusion of information resources creating a new order of social production and exchange at the core of the economy rather than the periphery . We examine the implications of these structural changes on the governments, private corporations and society in the context of emerging economies.

IT Leaders Aren't All Coming From Tech
COLLAPSE
I noticed that many of my classmates also chose this article, but I still decided to discuss "IT Leaders Aren't All Coming From Tech" because I felt like I connected with it the most. Although I am a millennial that grew up in the tech era and am able to quickly grasp new technologies, I do not have a tech background. I found it very interesting that the leadership roles in IT are evolving to include those with business expertise as well. As we have learned from Magal in our textbook, the global marketplace is becoming increasingly competitive, and IS is an important tool for businesses to keep up in this fast-paced environment. So, it is important for non-IS managers to still possess some general knowledge of IS in order to make informed IS decisions to benefit their company's IS strategy. This article reinforces the concept of the Information Systems Strategy Triangle, reminding us that business strategy, organizational strategy and IS strategy are interdependent to a company's success. As stated in the article, IT is increasingly becoming "a business strategy enabler", meaning that technology is an integral part of business. The example used int he article of Francis Li is a great example of the importance of the Information Systems Strategy Triangle. Li's experience in multiple fields of business allow him to be more innovative and to make the most informed decisions possible. He is able to relate his IS experience with his marketing and sales experience to develop successful strategies for his company by linking these two fields together.

Digital and Innovation Chiefs Among Most In Demand C-Level Jobs
COLLAPSE
In order for a company to stay relevant today, they have to adapt to the changes through technology and news. I enjoyed this article because it gave me hope and confirmation on what I want to do with my future. My goal when I first started grad school was to find a job that I could ultimately see my self doing for the long run. The Term CMO came up and I researched it and realized that this is exactly what I wanted to do, and the demand for this position will only continue to increase from this year forward.
It is not always about what product or service a company can provide but the brand identity and how it is precieved to its customers. Consumers want to feel comforted and have that trust when buying into a brand. Digital and Innovation chiefs are in demand because they are able to understand what is in the now and apply that to the company or brand they work for. It can be difficult.

Why corporates need to work with startups Samir Saberi
In this presentation I talk about the imperative for corporate companies and startups to collaborate, why and how they should cooperate and what still needs to be done to make partnerships succeed.
The Future of Work is being reshaped by major trends - namely virtualization of work and consumerization of IT. These comprise the four major forces of change - globalization, virtualization, the Millennial mindset and cloud computing. These have drastically changed the way we communicate, collaborate, learn, buy, engage and consume. When the virtualization of work meets the consumerization of IT in the enterprise - and when systems of recod meet systems of engagement - the dynamics of work itself change.
