Competitive Business Models in the Chinese MarketPTL Group
This document discusses competitive business models in the Chinese market. It notes that the number of Chinese internet users has increased dramatically over the past 12 years, and that China is expected to have the world's largest e-commerce market by 2015. Foreign companies' focus in China has shifted from large clients to the fast-growing mid-market. However, selling on technology and quality alone is no longer sufficient, as Chinese domestic forces provide support to local industries. Effective operations and strategic infrastructure investments have become key challenges to achieve competitive advantages in China. The document outlines some approaches foreign companies can take when entering the Chinese market.
US Technology Outlook | Minneapolis | JLL | 2016Carolyn Bates
The Minneapolis-St. Paul metro has a unique mix of technological innovation across very diverse industries, including life sciences, retail, and food. Meanwhile, national VC firms have been branching outside of medical devices (MSP’s traditionally strongest tech cluster) when seeking investment opportunities, including local solar panel manufacturers and “Internet of Things” apps. As awareness of MSP’s highly-productive tech economy grows, new occupiers (particularly from more costly real estate markets) will continue to enter the market either via acquisitions or strategic expansion into the Midwest.
The document discusses how business has changed from the 20th to 21st century due to factors like globalization, communication technology advances, and the rise of the internet. It notes that pre-internet era companies had a domestic focus, while modern companies have a global reach and can monitor performance and hold conferences in real-time across locations. It suggests that by 2050, economies will be integrated into a single global market and that businesses now need cross-national strategies and wealth creation approaches rather than wealth extraction to survive the paradigm shift brought on by these changes.
Cичикова "M&A & INVESTMENTS IN OUTSOURCING COMPANIES" LIOF 2017Lviv Startup Club
The document discusses trends in the global outsourcing industry and mergers and acquisitions (M&As) among outsourcing companies. It notes that software outsourcing is the fastest growing segment, with the market expected to reach $302 billion by 2021. While the market opportunity is large, only $85 billion is currently addressed due to limited talent. The document also examines M&A strategies and deals among major outsourcing companies like Luxoft and EPAM, finding acquisitions typically aim to expand capabilities, geography and clients. Organic growth is slower than growth through M&A, though M&As carry more risk. Recent M&A activity in Central and Eastern Europe is also summarized.
Globalization can be defined as the increasing interaction and integration between governments of different nations. It has led to rising international trade and foreign direct investment. New communication technologies like the internet have facilitated e-business and allowed people to work remotely. Culturally, globalization has resulted in new global professions for highly skilled workers who speak foreign languages and travel internationally. Pop culture, especially American pop culture, has spread through movies, music and television shows. Overall, globalization is making the world feel smaller like a global village where ideas and practices can be freely exchanged.
This document discusses how cities can foster innovation to drive economic growth. It highlights quotes from various city leaders about the importance of cities in innovation. The key factors that cities need are openness, infrastructure, and leadership. Cities need to be open and accessible to new businesses and ideas through procurement practices. They also need strong digital infrastructure. Leaders in cities must champion innovation and new approaches. The document then analyzes procurement practices in cities and provides a diagnostic tool cities can use to assess their innovation environment.

Paolo Neirotti - Modelli di business e nuove filiere per i big data nelle sma...Cultura Digitale
L’enfasi posta di recente sul tema dei big data nasconde una serie di domande - per il momento ancora prive di una risposta esaustiva - sulle effettive trasformazioni che essi potranno generare in imprese e filiere. Nello specifico, quale possa essere la capacità delle imprese italiane di sfruttare le potenzialità del cambiamento tecnologico legato ai big data dipende in parte dalle risposte a queste domande di fondo. Come si stanno formando nuove filiere nei settori dei servizi basati sulla capacità di elaborare big data? In tali filiere quale specializzazione si stanno ricavando incumbents e nuove imprese? Quali sono i modelli di business che finora hanno dimostrato una buona sostenibilità economica? Quali servizi nella filiera dei big data sono invece ancora alla ricerca di un modello di business economicamente sostenibile? Quali sono le variabili di competizione nei servizi che si fondano sulla capacità di elaborare big data? L’intervento intende trattare tali questioni prendendo a riferimento il settore dell’infomobilità nelle smart cities.

The Context For Information Technology Since The Late 20th CenturySumeet Raj
The document discusses a presentation about productivity, technology, and the global economy. It notes that productivity increased at different rates from 1870-1950, 1950-1973, and 1973-1993. It questions why technology takes time to impact productivity and how the rate of diffusion varies between industries. It also discusses how the world economy became globalized in the 1990s, driven by developments in technology and the deregulation of financial markets. This led to the rise of internet and information technology industries in the US.

Labor,labor abnormalities and the partogramPave Medicine
The document defines labor as the progressive dilation of the uterine cervix associated with cervical effacement and descent of the baby's head due to regular uterine contractions. It discusses the factors involved in initiating labor, including influences of the fetal brain and hormones. Abnormalities of labor can occur if there are issues with the power (uterine contractions), passage (maternal pelvis), passenger (fetus), or psychic (maternal mental) components of labor. A partogram is used to monitor the progress of labor by tracking cervical dilation, fetal descent, uterine contractions, and maternal vitals over time.

Globalization Is Not in Retreat

By many standard measures, globalization is in retreat [1]. The 2008 financial crisis and the
ensuing recession brought an end to three decades of rapid growth in the trade of goods and
services. Cross-border financial flows have fallen by two-thirds. In many countries that have
traditionally championed globalization, including the United States and the United Kingdom, the
political conversation about trade has shifted from a focus on economic benefits to concerns
about job loss, dislocation, deindustrialization, and inequality [2]. A once solid consensus that
trade is a win-win proposition has given way to zero-sum thinking and calls for higher barriers.
Since November 2008, according to the research group Global Trade Alert, the G-20 countries
have implemented more than 6,600 protectionist measures.
But that’s only part of the story. Even as its detractors erect new impediments and walk away
from free-trade agreements, globalization is in fact continuing its forward march—but along new
paths. In its previous incarnation, it was trade-based and Western-led. Today, globalization is
being driven by digital technology and is increasingly led by China and other emerging
economies. While trade predicated on global supply chains that take advantage of cheap labor is
slowing, new digital technologies mean that more actors can participate in cross-border
transactions than ever before, from small businesses to multinational corporations. And
economic leadership is shifting east and south, as the United States turns inward and the EU and
the United Kingdom negotiate a divorce [3].

In other words, globalization has not given way to deglobalization; it has simply entered a
different phase. This new era will bring economic and societal benefits, boosting innovation and
productivity, offering people unprecedented (and often free) access to information, and linking
consumers and suppliers across the world. But it will also be disruptive. After certain sectors fade
away, certain jobs will disappear, and n ...
China is still a large country as such trade is very important to China. United States continues to review its' policies when it comes to Foreign Trade and Relations with countries like China.

Voluminous and ever growing flows of data and information is now generating more economic value than the global goods trade.
Conventional wisdom says that globalization has stalled.
Though the global goods trade has flattened and cross-border capital flows have declined sharply since 2008
Yet globalization is not into reverse mode.
Rather, it is entering a new phase defined by soaring flows of data and information.
Digital flows were practically nonexistent just 15 years ago
Now exert a larger impact on GDP growth than the centuries-old trade in goods(McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) report, Digital globalization: The new era of global flows.)
This shift makes it possible for companies to reach international markets with less capital-intensive business models.
New risks and policy challenges associated must be addressed.

The presentation discusses how the world population and economy have grown exponentially since the Industrial Revolution, resulting in unprecedented environmental impacts and inequality. It notes that while the global economy is now worth $90 trillion, it has benefited only a small portion of humans and has pushed the planet beyond its planetary boundaries.
The document discusses several topics related to the efficiency of trade systems over the next decade:
- Supply chains will evolve into more open and interconnected "value webs" that span entire ecosystems and help reduce costs, improve service, mitigate risk, and drive innovation.
- Increased use of technologies like RFID, geo-location tracking, and real-time product/temperature streaming will provide more visibility and traceability across supply chains.
- Autonomous vehicles are expected to significantly improve the efficiency of goods movement over the next 10 years, especially reducing the high costs associated with the "last mile" of deliveries.
