Transform Tomorrow by Stig Nybo Pdf

A campaign to prepare Americans for their futures Transform Tomorrow investigates why so many Americans are at risk of out-living their savings. Author Stig Nybo draws inspiration from successful behavior change campaigns to identify the drivers of change—context and beliefs—and how they can be successfully employed to boost retirement savings rates. While the retirement savings industry increasingly embraces the contextual drivers of behavior, very little is being done to shape our beliefs to start saving smarter and sooner. Nybo suggests a retirement readiness campaign to inspire and enlist the support of individuals, employers, industry, government, and the media. Explains how society can transition from treating 401(k) as a voluntary benefit to the basis upon which each individual who wants to or needs to can retire comfortably. Details a national, coordinated retirement readiness campaign, along the lines of successful Public Service Advertisements—like "The Crying Indian" and Rosie the Riveter—that will help change behavior and re-shape the culture of our nation Makes a call to action for such a campaign Retirement in America is endangered, but Transform Tomorrow shows a path back from the brink.

Sustaining APEX: Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Mission to Transform Higher Education (Penerbit USM) by James Campbell Pdf

The monograph ‘Sustaining APEX: Universiti Sains Malaysia’s Mission to Transform Higher Education’ seeks to expand on and elaborate themes found in the previous two monographs in our Intellectual Discourse Series. In this monograph, we also take a deeper look at the problems of values and national development as well as issues of legitimacy and the efficacy of change and transformation in conditions of complex globalization. This monograph seeks to engage the difficult issues around science and technology and values, the social legitimacy of reform, and addresses the issues of newness, reputation, ranking and the problems of leadership. In doing this, we hope to tease out more of the implications of USM’s reform agenda and locate discussions of it within a broader discourse of globalization and its vicissitudes. The essential argument made in this monograph is that USM’s transformation agenda is a direct challenge to contemporary neo-liberal project for higher education. USM’s agenda entails a fuller idea and engagement with the educational and ethical mission of the university. Ecological sustainability, scientific and technological advancement as well as the sustainability of Malaysian culture, values, and sense of social justice is central to the mission of USM. Seeking to advance these in the current conditions of globalization and ensuring continued legitimacy for this project within such an environment is the challenge ahead.

e-Transformation: Enabling New Development Strategies by Nagy K. Hanna Pdf

Could information and communication technology (ICT) become the transformative tool for a new style of global development? Could ICT promote knowledge-based, innovation-driven, and smart, adaptive, participatory development? As countries seek a way out of the present period of economic contraction, they are trying to weave ICT into their development strategies, in the same way organizations have learned to use ICT to transform their business models and strategies. This integration offers a new path to development that is responsive to the challenges of our times. In e-Transformation, Nagy Hanna identifies the key ingredients for the strategic integration of ICT into national development, with examples from around the world. He draws on his rich experience of over 35 years at the World Bank and other aid agencies to outline the strategic options involved in using ICT to maximize developmental impact—transforming public service institutions, networking businesses for innovation and competitiveness, and empowering communities for social inclusion and poverty reduction. He identifies the key interdependencies in e-transformation and offers a holistic framework to tap network effects and synergies across all elements of the process, including leadership, cyber policies, institutions, human resources, technological competencies, information infrastructure, and ICT uses for government, business, and society. Integrating analytical insights and practical applications across the fields of development, political economy, public administration, entrepreneurship, and technology management, the author candidly argues that e-transformation, like all bold ideas, faces implementation challenges. In particular, the aspiration-reality gap needs to be systematically addressed if ICT-enabled innovation and transformation is to become a development practice. E-transformation is first and foremost about thinking strategically and creatively about the options made possible by the information technology revolution in the context of globalization. To this end, the author provides tools and best practices designed to nurture innovation, select entry points, prioritize among competing demands, and sequence and scale up. He outlines the roles of all participants—political, managerial, entrepreneurial, social and technical—whose leadership is essential for successful innovation.

Transformation of the Indian Armed Forces: 2025 by Maj Gen A K Lal (Retd) Pdf

Transformation should lie at the heart of our new approach to defense. The development of transformational capabilities, processes, and force structures should be given strategic focus to meet the principal challenges under our defense strategy. India is already ceased with the necessity of transformation albeit without any documented national security guidelines or operating instructions, which are legislated or have the validation of at least the 'Cabinet Committee on Security'(CCS). In other words the first step would be to create a draft security strategy based on many assumptions, like the foreign policy or the cumulative emerging threat scenario as appreciated by the Defence Intelligence Agency(DIA). This well researched book is a result of the project allotted by the USI under the Field Marshal K. M. Cariappa chair. The book is therefore more as an idea or a theoretical construct, basically to bring in more clarity to the various options available for this great transformation of the Indian military. The author has deliberated upon various landmarks of transformation milestones achieved so far by the three services and given recommendations to further build upon ongoing modernization plan and shift to a higher plane of transformational activities.

IdeaWise by Steve Rivkin,Fraser Seitel Pdf

Innovation ist für moderne Unternehmen überlebenswichtig. In diesem Buch zeigen die Autoren dem Leser, wie Innovation aus bekannten Ideen erwächst, die auf geniale Weise in neue Produkte und Unternehmenslösungen umgewandelt werden. Anhand von Beispielen werden verschiedene Methoden zur Innovation genauer untersucht. Erläutert werden u.a. der Ersatz von Materialien, Bestandteilen oder Erscheinungsmerkmalen (auf diese Weise wurde Shakespeares 'Romeo und Julia' zur 'West Side Story'); die Kombination mit einem bestehenden Produkt (z.B. Pflaster mit antibiotischer Salbenauflage); die Anpassung (Sony hat z.B. das Walkman-Konzept überarbeitet und auf dieser Basis den Watchman TV und Discman CD entworfen); das Vergrößern oder Verkleinern (McDonalds und Pizza Hut haben z.B. ihre Restaurantfläche in überfüllten Airport Terminals entsprechend verkleinert); neue Verwendungsmöglichkeiten für ein bestehendes Produkt (so kommt Backpulver als Kühlschrankdeo oder als Weissmacher in der Zahnpasta zu neuen Ehren); der Verzicht auf gängige Methoden (Saturn verzichtet neuerdings auf aufdringliche Verkäuferteams und erleichtert dem Kunden so den Autokauf). Wie werden aus cleveren Ideen innovative Produkte von morgen? "IdeaWise" beantwortet diese Frage erschöpfend, verständlich und praxisnah. Geschrieben von führenden Experten mit langjähriger Praxiserfahrung.

The new online trade by Gerrit Heinemann Pdf

This book presents developments and future trends in e-commerce, which is shaped by customers' new digital communication and consumption patterns. Gerrit Heinemann sheds light on e-commerce business models, channel excellence as well as success factors such as digital time advantages and customer centricity. He analyzes the digital challenges and highlights the consequences and opportunities associated with online commerce. Recognized best practices illustrate how successful digital commerce works and what the "lessons learned" of the past years are. The 13th edition describes which new approaches will shape the future of online retail and which developments will remain long-term issues. While, for example, app and smartphone commerce, including mobile payment, continue to be long-running issues, the environmental issue is coming at online commerce with a concentrated charge. This means that people's growing need for more sustainability and consideration for the environment has now also arrived in e-commerce. This work is therefore devoted to sustainable e-commerce in the context of online logistics, which runs counter to the new trend towards quick commerce. The topics of climate neutrality and returns management are also increasingly coming into focus. In addition, current topics such as the marketplace theme and social commerce will be explored in greater depth. Furthermore, numerous new legal requirements are taken into account, which place increased obligations on marketplace operators in particular. The content - Meta-targeting and business ideas in online retailing - Business model of online trade - Forms of online trade - Business systems and benchmarks in e-commerce - Best practices and risks in online retailing
