The argumentation-based method has as a background in the doctrines and philosophies of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, all the way back in Ancient Greece.
John and Claire discuss the pros and cons of offshoring production versus domestic production. While offshoring provides lower costs and tax advantages, it can also result in lower quality control and cultural issues. Recent studies have shown an increase in companies reshoring production back to their home countries in order to improve quality, speed of delivery, and return on investment. John and Claire explore various perspectives on the issue, including optimistic, pessimistic, factual, and creative views, ultimately agreeing that reshoring may become more widespread as synergies are identified between businesses and governments.
This document summarizes the key findings from a study by the IBM Institute for Business Value on changing competitive dynamics. The study surveyed over 5,000 C-suite executives from various industries. The main findings are:
1) Executives see industry convergence and digital invaders as major threats, as boundaries between industries blur and new entrants disrupt traditional value chains.
2) Technology factors and market changes are transforming the competitive landscape at an unprecedented rate, making it difficult for companies to predict threats.
3) To adapt, executives plan to focus more on customers as individuals, access external innovation through partnerships, and decentralize decision-making to respond faster to changes.

How Failure Breeds Success
Posted on July 09, 2006

COVER STORY PODCAST: Ever heard of Choglit? How about OK Soda or Surge? Long after "New
Coke" became nearly synonymous with innovation failure, these products joined Coca-Cola Co.'s
(KO) graveyard of beverage busts. Choglit, in case you blinked and missed it, was a chocolate-flavored
milk drink test-marketed with Nestlé (NSRGY) in 2002. OK Soda, unveiled in 1994, tried to capture
Generation X with edgy marketing. The "OK Manifesto," parts of which were printed on cans in an
attempt at hipster irony, asked: "What's the point of OK Soda?" It turned out customers wondered the
same thing. And while Surge did well initially, this me-too Mountain Dew later did anything but. Sales
began drying up after five years.
Given that history, failure hardly seems like a subject Chairman and CEO E. Neville Isdell would want
to trot out in front of investors. But Isdell did just that, deliberately airing the topic at Coke's annual
meeting in April. "You will see some failures," he told the crowd. "As we take more risks, this is
something we must accept as part of the regeneration process."
Warning Coke investors that the company might experience some flops is a little like warning
Atlantans they might experience afternoon thunderstorms in July. But Isdell thinks it's vital. He
wants Coke to take bigger risks, and to do that, he knows he needs to convince employees and
shareholders that he will tolerate the failures that will inevitably result. That's the only way to change
Coke's traditionally risk-averse culture. And given the importance of this goal, there's no podium too
big for sending the signal. "Using [the annual meeting] occasion elevates the statement to another
order of importance," Isdell said in an interview with BusinessWeek.
CLOSE TO BLASPHEMY
While few CEOs are as candid about the potential for failure as Isdell, many are wrestling with the
same problem, trying to get their organizations to cozy up to the risk-taking that innovation requires.

Ryan Holmes is optimistic about social media's potential to be used for good despite current issues around privacy, security, and misinformation. He believes social networks will address these problems and emerge in a better place. Holmes argues that every new technology has both beneficial and harmful uses, and while social media has enabled positive movements, its ability to spread "fake news" must be addressed through improved content validation and individual discernment. He advocates reserving optimism about technology's future impact despite present challenges.

Talent is in high demand but less loyal to companies. Startups pose major threats as they can lure away key talent. The only control organizations have is over their internal culture and values. This creates a radically different operating environment that requires changes to excel.

- Current support mechanisms are insufficient, as many people, even those still employed, cannot build financial protections against common life shocks.
- There is a need for policymakers to prioritize this issue and work with organizations to identify how to improve support and break the link between life shocks and problem debt.
What Unions Today Don’t Want You To Know About CardsigningProjections, Inc
1. Unions don't want employers to know that they can legally communicate with employees about unions and card signing through orientation videos and materials, as was upheld by the NLRB.
2. Even unionized employers can make anti-union statements to employees as long as they are non-coercive and don't threaten workers.
3. Delivering a clear, consistent message to employees about unions and card signing before a campaign begins is legal and can be an effective strategy for employers.

Project Opportunities in Production of Condoms. Latex Condom Manufacturing. H...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
A condom is a sheath-shaped obstruction device used during sexual intercourse. It is very beneficial for reducing the chances of pregnancy. It also decreases the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV/AIDS. There are different types of condoms available in the market with the variety of thickness, texture, material, size, color and taste. Condoms are highly effective to reduce the probability of pregnancy if used consistently and correctly.
The use of condoms, conceived primarily as a tool for family planning to curtail population growth, has attained a primacy in arresting the spreading of the dreaded disease, AIDS.
Increasing awareness regarding sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV is the major driving factor of condom market in U.S. Increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV in U.S. is expected to boost the demand for condoms. In addition, increasing the need for family planning coupled with population control is expected to boost the condom market.

The document discusses business ethics and corruption in developing countries. It argues that current approaches to regulating business often fail and can increase corruption by creating more rules without enforcement. It proposes that development agencies should find new ways to encourage business growth while preventing malfeasance, such as increasing support for NGOs and partnerships with ethical businesses. Agencies also need to find ways to assist citizens in corrupt regimes by bypassing their governments. The alternative is more unenforceable laws that waste aid and discourage investment without reducing corruption.
The article discusses the growing start-up scene in Beijing, China.

The article profiles several Chinese start-ups founded by returnees, including a cloud computing platform and a location-based photo sharing app. It notes the advantages and challenges of founding companies in China compared to places like the United States.
22 unexpected things about digital innovation that have changed your businessMarta Dominguez
Digital innovation has changed businesses in many unexpected ways:
1. Ideas can now come from anywhere, not just within a company, as true innovators think without constraints.
2. Competition also exists outside of traditional industries as new technologies and business models disrupt entire sectors.
3. For businesses to transform and stay relevant, they must adopt new strategies like design thinking, and recognize that innovation is an ongoing process rather than a single event.
The document summarizes a panel discussion on corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in fragile states. Representatives from companies operating in Africa debated with NGO representatives on what can realistically be expected from businesses. The business representatives were more accepting of charitable donations and partnerships with governments, while the NGOs felt businesses should not replace essential government services. There were differing views on privatization versus public ownership. Ultimately, the panel agreed on the need for a binding global framework and regulations to create a level playing field for business and human rights, especially in fragile states.

The Disruption Briefing (TLC) - Jan 2010Steve Sponder
1. The document discusses how disruption from new technologies is often not recognized until after widespread adoption. It provides examples of how the telephone, television, and internet were initially dismissed but later caused major disruptions.
2. Social media has become a major disruption driver by allowing people to easily share their views and experiences about brands in real-time. This has tipped power from brands to consumers.
3. In this new transparent world where views are shared online, brands must change their approach to engage or risk losing relevance in conversations about their products and services.
The Robots are Coming!!! How To Avoid Audit Extinction כנס IIA ישראל 4.1.18Inna Golderbiter
This document discusses how internal auditors can adapt to disruption from emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and automation. It notes that many routine audit tasks could be automated, so auditors need to focus on higher value work like assessing risks from new technologies, auditing strategies and controls around algorithms, and using AI to enhance fraud detection. The document provides questions for auditors to consider how their role may change and avoid becoming obsolete. It emphasizes starting small with AI projects and maintaining human oversight.

Dos compañeros de trabajo discuten los pros y contras de producir productos en el extranjero (offshoring) versus producir localmente. Inicialmente se enfocan en las ventajas del offshoring como menores costos, pero luego identifican desventajas como falta de control de calidad y problemas en la cadena de suministro. Más adelante, consideran formas creativas de superar estas limitaciones, como promover la investigación y desarrollo tecnológico o crear alianzas entre empresas para compartir instalaciones.
Carlos y Alicia discuten sobre la producción nacional versus la producción en el extranjero. Carlos argumenta que la producción en el extranjero es más rentable debido a los menores costos, mientras que Alicia expresa preocupación por la explotación laboral y falta de seguridad en fábricas extranjeras. Carlos responde que las empresas subcontratadas no violan las leyes locales y deben buscar beneficios, no ser ONGs, pero Alicia sostiene que esto es una forma fácil de evadir la responsabilidad de proporcionar condiciones

2. Social media has become a major disruption driver by allowing people to easily share their views and experiences about brands in real-time. This has tipped power from brands to consumers.
3. In this new transparent world where views are shared online, brands must change their approach to engage or risk losing relevance in conversations about their products and services.
The Robots are Coming!!! How To Avoid Audit Extinction כנס IIA ישראל 4.1.18Inna Golderbiter
This document discusses how internal auditors can adapt to disruption from emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and automation. It notes that many routine audit tasks could be automated, so auditors need to focus on higher value work like assessing risks from new technologies, auditing strategies and controls around algorithms, and using AI to enhance fraud detection. The document provides questions for auditors to consider how their role may change and avoid becoming obsolete. It emphasizes starting small with AI projects and maintaining human oversight.

A third article examines how central banks are pursuing negative interest rate policies, which were previously considered extreme.
Dos compañeros de trabajo discuten los pros y contras de producir productos en el extranjero (offshoring) versus producir localmente. Inicialmente se enfocan en las ventajas del offshoring como menores costos, pero luego identifican desventajas como falta de control de calidad y problemas en la cadena de suministro. Más adelante, consideran formas creativas de superar estas limitaciones, como promover la investigación y desarrollo tecnológico o crear alianzas entre empresas para compartir instalaciones.
Carlos y Alicia discuten sobre la producción nacional versus la producción en el extranjero. Carlos argumenta que la producción en el extranjero es más rentable debido a los menores costos, mientras que Alicia expresa preocupación por la explotación laboral y falta de seguridad en fábricas extranjeras. Carlos responde que las empresas subcontratadas no violan las leyes locales y deben buscar beneficios, no ser ONGs, pero Alicia sostiene que esto es una forma fácil de evadir la responsabilidad de proporcionar condiciones

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...Rokibul Hasan
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.
Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).
After Corona Virus Disease-2019/Covid-19 (Coronavirus) first
appeared in Wuhan, China towards the end of 2019, its effects began to
be felt clearly all over the world. If the Coronavirus crisis is not managed
properly in business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer
(B2C) sectors, it can have serious negative consequences. In this crisis,
companies can typically face significant losses in their sales performance,
existing customers and customer satisfaction, interruptions in operations
and accordingly bankruptcy
