AI as Game Changer: How Blue Chips can Survive in a Digitized WorldESMT Berlin
The document discusses how artificial intelligence can help large companies adapt to ongoing digital disruption. It argues that AI, if applied properly, can [1] lower costs by automating routine tasks, [2] free up human experts to focus on innovation, and [3] extend the reach of expertise through intelligent systems. However, legacy thinking and a focus on short-term operations over change can hold companies back. The document advocates that companies view AI not just as a cost-cutting tool but as a way to multiply human capabilities and make experts more productive. It provides an example of how automating IT operations through AI delivered 46% savings compared to 8% from traditional automation.

Everyday Bank: A Journey to Digital TransformationBackbase
Accenture’s Senior Managing Director, Juan Pedro Moreno, shares the firm’s vision for banks in the digital age. During this free, one hour long webinar, Juan Pedro will highlight:
- How customer behavior has shaped a digital revolution for banks,
- How technology is blurring the boundaries that define customer service, and
- What threats and opportunities this emerging digital landscape presents for banks.
- Last but not least, he will go into the specific steps banks must take in order to become a successful Everyday Bank.
"Banks face a growing challenge from non-bank entities that are aggressively using digital innovations to take on functions traditionally part of banking. Think Amazon, which now offers loans to its merchants. Or the giant Alibaba, now the world’s largest payment provider. But banks have a huge competitive advantage in this digital world. With their vast digital data, payment know-how and deep understanding of compliance, security and financing, they are positioned to become an Everyday Bank, providing an unparalleled personalized customer experience that cannot be replicated by non-banks."

In the not so distant past, corporate social responsibility was often viewed as a corporate burden—one that could easily be fulfilled through an annual company event, with proceeds going to a local charity. Thankfully, those days are gone, as companies acknowledge that the environmental, social and economic impacts they have on their communities require a more concerted effort at playing nice and doing good.

Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies among the countries with similar nature. The country has made a notable progress during the MDG era despite several political and environmental challenges. At the end of MDG a new era has just begun with much more diversified targets called Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG is a transformative, universal agenda with an overarching imperative of ‘leaving no one behind’ and requires each country to commit to her own agenda and priorities with a monitoring and reporting mechanism. At the same time the SDG also puts massive challenges to all countries to ensure financing and effective implementation by incorporating SDG in to the national policies. This document tries to identify what important role Bangladesh Parliament, as the supreme law making and oversight body of the executives, can play to i) identify national priorities for the country and ii) ensure effective monitoring and implementation of these global targets. The SDG has just begun as well as many analysis and activities of the world community.

The triple bottom line not a zero sum game by cb bhattacharyaESMT Berlin
In his webcast, Professor Bhattacharya will point out that it is not enough nowadays for companies to "do well" (Profit). Companies need to "do good" as well for communities (People) and the environment (Planet). Achieving this triple bottom line (People, Planet, Profit) is not a zero sum game but these linkages and strategies are often underexplored as most companies are largely in the dark when it comes to understanding how their stakeholders think and feel about their Corporate Responsibility (CR) programs. Based on the research in his book, Prof. Bhattacharya suggests that stakeholders' responses to a company's CR initiatives are driven by three levers: Understanding, Usefulness and Unity (the 3U's model). Drawing on empirical research insights, Prof. Bhattacharya points out how companies can maximize the value of their CR initiatives by fostering strong stakeholder relationships to develop, implement, and evaluate compelling social responsibility programs that generate value for both the company and society.

How to Invest in Cryptocurrency for Beginners: A Complete GuideDaniel
Cryptocurrency is digital money that operates independently of a central authority, utilizing cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments (fiat currencies), cryptocurrencies are decentralized and typically operate on a technology called blockchain.

Cryptocurrencies can be used for various purposes, including online purchases, investment opportunities, and as a means of transferring value globally without the need for intermediaries like banks.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
