Kemira is restructuring to become a pure-play water company focused on growth markets. It has divested non-water businesses and reorganized operations around key regions. Fit for Growth initiatives have improved profitability and are expected to deliver €60 million in savings by 2014. Kemira is also turning around its Municipal & Industrial segment through a new customer segmentation model, manufacturing optimization, and reduced SKUs. The company aims for an operative EBIT margin of 10% in Municipal & Industrial by 2014.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.

La Unión Europea ha propuesto un nuevo paquete de sanciones contra Rusia que incluye un embargo al petróleo. El embargo prohibiría las importaciones de petróleo ruso por mar y por oleoducto, aunque se concederían exenciones temporales a Hungría y Eslovaquia. El objetivo es aumentar la presión económica sobre Rusia para que ponga fin a su invasión de Ucrania.

Brittlestar regeneration rate paper janice price and lee ann clementskleinkea
This study examined the effects of hydrodynamic stress on arm regeneration in the brittlestar Ophiophragmus filograneus when food was limited. 30 brittlestars had arms removed and were placed in tanks with either oscillating (wave) or laminar (flume) flow and fed for discrete periods each week. Brittlestars in the laminar flow tank regenerated a higher proportion of skeletal tissue than those in the wave tank, suggesting hydrodynamics influence how brittlestars allocate resources to regeneration when food is limited.

Kemira achieved satisfactory financial performance in 2012 despite challenges. Revenue grew 2% to EUR 2,240.9 million driven by emerging markets, while operative EBIT margin declined slightly to 6.9% due to restructuring costs. The company launched a major restructuring initiative called "Fit for Growth" to reduce costs, optimize operations, and improve profitability. Changes include reducing the workforce by up to 600 employees, closing or reviewing around 20% of production sites, and targeting an 11% net working capital ratio by 2014. Outlook for 2013 remains uncertain pending the announcement of a new strategy in April.

The document provides a market research report on the olive oil brand OlivOila in China. It summarizes that while OlivOila constitutes half of olive oil sales in China, sales volumes are lower than expected. A survey was conducted among two target audiences to understand consumer attitudes and identify marketing initiatives to boost sales. Key findings included that price reductions and emphasizing premium quality could increase sales of certain SKUs. The report recommends strengthening messaging around value, trust, and premium packaging to better drive purchase decisions.
OPEN INNOVATION AS A SERVICE
Approach to launching the open innovation at PepsiCo
We use the open innovation model in our work. The model implies that the company developing new products relies not only on its own internal corporate innovation capacity, but also actively attracts innovation and competencies from outside.
The Open innovation system is based on the fact that outside the company there are always incomparably more breakthrough ideas, expertise and projects than within the company itself. In this regard, the corporate open innovation system faces the task of bringing innovative ideas from the outside, effectively combining them with the internal resources of the company.
Mabius helps companies find and implement innovative ideas of new products, selecting and assisting with the development of those that show the most potential.
This same innovation model is used by leading FMCG-companies: Unilever, Campbell’s, Kellogg’s, Diageo, P&G, and Coca-Cola.

форсайт Trends and technology_timeline_2010Денис Семыкин
This document provides a timeline and overview of potential trends from 2010 to 2050 organized into 5 zones or time periods. It covers a wide range of topics from technology and science to society, healthcare, environment and more. For each time period it lists possible trends, technologies, events and cultural shifts that may occur. The purpose is to map out and explore current and future trends to stimulate discussion around possible futures.
This keynote discusses how technology will impact education in the future. Three major technological drivers are identified: 1) Social learning platforms that enable one-to-one and many-to-many learning, 2) Personal informatics that allow students to quantify and track their learning, and 3) Instant information retrieval through ubiquitous computing and sensors. Literacy and numeracy skills will need to evolve to include skills like programming, interface, privacy, and the ability to focus attention with constant information streams. The future of jobs will require preparing students for careers that don't yet exist by taking them to the edge of existing knowledge.
