BrandZ Top 50 Most Valuable Indonesian Brands 2015Kantar

Summary: Even in a time of high biopharma valuations, adopting an activist mentality adds rigor to capital allocation and strategic decision-making, improving not just returns to shareholders but long-term value creation. Therefore, biopharma management teams and boards of directors should proactively assess the “fitness” of their capital allocation strategies and their alignment with operational performance goals by taking an outsider’s view of the business even when times are good — and before a material stumble provides a compelling reason for an outsider to act.

They enable companies to better manage their risks and unlock opportunities.

The database is the most comprehensive and freely accessible dataset to date on consumer spending patterns in developing countries, compiled from surveys of more than a million households around the world. By making data on spending freely available in a form that is useful to the private sector, IFC aims to lower the up-front cost of exploring inclusive business opportunities, thereby reducing a critical barrier to investment and accelerating the pace of inclusive business development around the world.

WBCSD work in inclusive business targeting the base of the pyramid - Overview...fveglio
Many companies are engaging with low-income communities (the so-called base of the pyramid) in the developing world as a way to meet the company’s needs for growth and profitability, while addressing societal needs. The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) coined the concept of 'inclusive business' in 2005 to describe profitable business ventures that are also good for development. More specifically, inclusive business engages low-income communities across a company’s value chain – through direct employment; the development of suppliers, distributors and service providers from low-income communities; or through the innovative development and delivery of affordable goods and services that address unmet needs of low-income communities. This slide show provides an overview on the WBCSD’s work program in the area of inclusive business.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
