South Sudan independence and the corrutpion challenges to overcomeCosty Costantinos
South Sudan faces many challenges as the world's newest nation following its independence from Sudan in 2011. Corruption poses a major threat, with many former fighters now becoming wealthy overnight through misuse of public funds, while much of the population remains in poverty. The country receives $2 billion annually from oil revenues but there is little development to show for it. President Kiir has pledged to fight corruption but taken little concrete action. Lessons from other post-conflict nations like East Timor and Kosovo show the difficulties of nation-building and gaining full international recognition. Strong anti-corruption reforms will be needed for South Sudan to achieve stability and prosperity.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Positive market growth in 2011
Tissue and hygiene in South Korea recorded retail value growth in 2011 due to growing demand
for premium products with specialised functionality, antibiotic ingredients and better quality raw
materials. This rise in demand for higher priced brands boosted overall retail value growth.
Positive real GDP growth and total consumption expenditure fuelled demand for premium products
within retail tissue and hygiene in 2011. The increasing number of elderly people is boosting the
development of new retail tissue and hygiene products and incontinence sales. Regardless of the
stagnating birth rate, the fact that infants are wearing diapers for longer along with rising demand
for premium products is helping to boost sales.
Japanese earthquake affects growth
The March 2011 earthquake in Japan affected tissue and hygiene in South Korea, with product
quality requirements increasing. Sales of imported tissue and hygiene products from Japan
(mainly diapers and sanitary protection etc.) have declined remarkably due to safety concerns
2. among South Korean consumers. Instead, consumers have changed to national brands produced
domestically. Growing concern about personal hygiene has resulted in increasing sales of wipes
and tissues and antibiotic functionality in order to eliminate harmful germs in daily life has become
a basic requirement among consumers.
Positioning of imported brands improves
The presence of imported brands such as Kleenex, Scottie and Huggies continues to increase in
South Korea. However, it should be noted that most of these brands are manufactured
domestically. To compete against imported brands, domestic brand producers have actively
participated in marketing activities and product developments in order to increase their sales
shares. In addition, as a result of the Japanese earthquake, many consumers of Japanese brands
migrated towards national brands. In response, in 2010 and 2011 most national brand producers
introduced various kinds of new products or revamped existing products in order to attract
potential consumers, with national brands increasing their sales share in 2011.
Private label products increase in popularity
Private label products have been undergoing a transition period from being ‘low priced and of low
quality’ to ‘reasonable priced and of good quality’ since 2010 and this trend will lead to additional
sales growth within retail tissue and hygiene in South Korea. It is much easier to find private label
products in retail tissue and hygiene as products in these areas are essential for daily life. As more
private label products become available in hypermarkets and supermarkets, it is becoming easier
to compare product quality with that of national brand products. Efforts to upgrade private label
product quality by distributors are also contributing to the growing popularity of private label
products.
Continuous positive growth expected
Whilst South Korea’s population is falling in absolute terms, the number of elderly people is rising.
As a result, demand for premium and green products is rising and increasing concerns about
personal hygiene will be the major driving forces behind further growth in retail tissue and hygiene
in South Korea over the forecast period. As product quality increases, unit prices will naturally rise
– a development that will help to boost vale growth. The growing popularity of private label
products and the focus of distributors on ensuring that such products are reliable is expected to
create additional demand among consumers. As a result, competition with national brands will be
fiercer over the forecast period.

Cotton Wool/Buds/Pads in South Korea - Category Analysis
HEADLINES
TRENDS

products have relatively low unit prices. As a result, consumers tend to purchase them without too
much consideration. Various distribution channels such as department stores, hypermarkets,
supermarkets, specialised retailers for cosmetics and babies and convenient stores have been
offering cotton wool/buds/pads on shelves, including national brands and private label products at
the same time.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

in 2011. The company offers B&B cotton buds for new born babies and toddlers as well as black
charcoal cotton buds. All products have anti-biotic functionality and can be easily bent for user

nappies/diapers/pants brand ‘Huggies’ in 1983 and has since been the leading player in the area.
In response to the falling birth rate in South Korea, the company has developed new products in-
line with changing demand trends. For instance, a ‘Huggies magic panty’ diaper was introduced in
2005 and was the first step in creating new demand for disposable pants among consumers. In
order to boost retail sales, Yuhan Kimberly has tried to export nappies/diapers/pants products to
Australia, China and Russia.
PROSPECTS
Nappies/diapers/pants has a projected forecast period retail volume CAGR of -1% due to the
falling birth rate. In response, producers will look to focus on offering more advanced

HEADLINES
TRENDS
The most significant trend within retail tissue in 2011 was the growth in the popularity of private
label brands. Retail tissue comprises products within toilet paper, tissues, kitchen towels and
paper tableware which are used on a daily basis. As most of these products are disposable,

and heavy formats, a growing number of consumers are purchasing them via the internet.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Yuhan Kimberly accounted for 39% of retail value sales in 2011. The company’s success can be
attributed to the popularity of its Kleenex, Poppy and Scottie brands. Indeed, the Kleenex brand
name is synonymous with boxed facial tissues amongst many consumers.

constant retail value terms. Toilet paper will continue to account for the majority of volume and
value sales over the forecast period. During the review period, the penetration of bidets stood at
around 40% of households according to industry players. Bidet penetration is expected to increase
over the forecast period – a development which will boost retail tissue sales.
