Cross-party letter regarding Earls Court Exhibition Centres CityHallLabour
The letter urges the Mayor of London to defer his decision on redeveloping the Earls Court Exhibition Centres, Lillie Bridge Rail Depot, and West Kensington and Gibbs Green Housing Estate until further assessments are completed. It argues that approving the plans without a full independent economic impact assessment of losing the exhibition centres, which attract millions of visitors annually and support thousands of jobs, would be premature. It also says deferring the decision until Transport for London finishes assessing alternative locations for the rail depot is prudent, as it currently employs up to 550 people manufacturing essential track components. Approving the plans before these studies are finished could compromise passenger safety and lead to additional costs and job losses.

Norway_Maritime and offshore market opportunities for Finnish suppliers 2016Business Finland
The document summarizes the Norwegian maritime industry, including opportunities for Finnish suppliers. Key points:
- Norway has a large, globally leading maritime cluster with over 100,000 employees and €65 billion turnover.
- Opportunities exist for Finnish suppliers in the shipyard orderbooks, with the equipment manufacturing industry, and as suppliers to Norwegian shipowners or oil and gas companies.
- The industry is experiencing a downturn due to falling oil prices, but Norway remains one of the largest offshore markets in the world.
The global economic outlook is characterized by weak growth and great uncertainty, according to experts interviewed for the Maritime Outlook Report. Historically low interest rates and declining commodity prices indicate weakened international economic strength. Leading nations have nearly exhausted their fiscal and monetary options, and China is transitioning to slower but more sustainable growth. Geopolitically, the security landscape is becoming more challenging as civil wars rage in parts of the Middle East and North Africa. However, the Paris climate agreement offers hope for increased international cooperation. Shipping will play a role in reducing emissions through more efficient operations and new technologies. The decline in offshore activity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf poses challenges for Norway's maritime industry and economy.

Motivation case analysis mba ( mike toney , mike toney )Mike Toney, MBA
Tim has been with Company X for 30 years but now has problems tracking and holding staff and managers accountable. He finishes tasks himself instead of delegating, leaving no time to mentor employees. This has led to poorly trained, disengaged staff. James should issue Tim a written warning with specific, measurable goals and personally connect with Tim. If Tim's performance increases, extend the goals. If not, terminate employment and hire internally, while implementing an employee involvement program.

This document summarizes a company's strategic moves over multiple rounds. It eliminated low-end products and focused on high-end, which provided two products in the high-end segment. It invested heavily in marketing, R&D, and training to drive customer awareness and lower costs. However, poor timing of some moves like repositioning a product, initial overspending on manufacturing, and maintaining high leverage led to a low stock price and losses despite high sales. Future rounds aim to improve size, performance and introduce new products to better compete in key segments.
The document summarizes a case involving a business collaboration between Golden Brewing and Seoul Brewing. It discusses two initial problems that have arisen: 1) Mr. Kim purchased $600 suits for Mr. Gillespie which exceeds Golden's $50 gift limit, and 2) Seoul made changes to the agreed-upon beer and started testing it without authorization. The team provides solutions for how Mr. Gillespie should respond that take Korean cultural considerations into account, emphasize respecting rules, and use inclusive language to maintain the collaboration.
Ball corp. Corporate Social Responsibility Proposal ( michael toney , mike to...Mike Toney, MBA
Ball Corporation founded in 1880 and is now a global packaging company with 4 divisions and over 14,500 employees worldwide. In 2010, Ball started the Ball Foundation to transition its philanthropy from corporate giving to impact-driven community investment. The Foundation aims to bring structure, transparency, and leverage impact measurement to Ball's giving globally. However, the Foundation currently lacks serious backing within Ball and metrics showing its community impact, and is seen by some as taking away from Ball's bottom line. To address this, we recommend increasing Foundation staffing, creating promotional materials, doing a company roadshow, and leveraging Ball's family-oriented culture to better integrate the Foundation within the company.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Industrial Tech SW: Category Renewal and CreationChristian Dahlen
Every industrial revolution has created a new set of categories and a new set of players.
Multiple new technologies have emerged, but Samsara and C3.ai are only two companies which have gone public so far.
Manufacturing startups constitute the largest pipeline share of unicorns and IPO candidates in the SF Bay Area, and software startups dominate in Germany.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
