Analysis of The Telemedicine Market in Asia-Pacific : Telehealth
enables anytime-anywhere access to healthcare services, thus serving a pressing
market need. Local APAC vendors are exploring opportunities to provide
outsourced telemedicine services to fulfill demand from both domestic and
foreign markets.
India Information Technology : India is emerging as one of the largest
base for start-ups in IT sector globally with more than 3,000 technology
start-ups. This rise is attributed to unique solutions being offered by Indian
start-ups in global whitespace opportunities like Internet of Things, augmented
reality, smart hardware, business intelligence and many more. The growth will
also be driven by increased smartphone usage by 2020, affordable enterprise
grade solutions and the mobile app ecosystem.
Global M2M Platform Market 2015-2019 : The Americas shows the highest
demand for M2M platforms. However, the market shares of EMEA and APAC are likely
to increase in the coming years. Growing adoption of connected devices, tablets,
wearable devices, and smartphones among consumers as well as enterprises will
favor the growth of the market as these devices require an M2M platform for
connecting and transferring data and information in real time.
India Consumer Sector : Indian subsidiaries of multi-national companies
have been highly influenced by the global strategy of their parent companies.
When the strategy of the parent company is highly aligned to the priorities of
the Indian subsidiaries, it creates strong tailwinds for the India business.
Electronic Waste Management Services in India : Though electrical and
electronic equipment have enhanced the quality of our lives, their usage has
also led to the generation of electronic waste (e-waste) that causes health and
environmental issues. E-waste has a direct relationship with the country’s
economic growth and overall consumer spending.
Leading Collaboration in Online Communities : Despite the
growing importance of online communities in creating knowledge and facilitating
collaboration, there has been limited research examining the role of leaders in
such settings. This paper proposes a framework that integrates behavioral and
structural approaches to explore the antecedents of leadership in online
communities focused on knowledge work.
Bright, Shiny Objects and the Future of HR : As leaders, we have ready
access to potentially powerful, game-changing ideas. It’s easy and tempting to
chase after a new practice, a new expert, or new research that seems to provide
some relief or a solution to a problem. What’s harder, but far more valuable, is
to fall in love with the problem. Then you arent quite so eager to embrace the
first possible solution and move on.
How to Live With Risks : The article looks at effective practices in the
assessment and management of risk in business. It discusses problems with
typical corporate risk-management efforts including that they can result in
delayed decision-making.
Examining the relationship between creativity and innovation : An innovation
process consists of two main activities: creativity and innovation. Creativity
involves the generation of novel and useful ideas while innovation entails the
implementation of these ideas into new products and processes. This sequence
seems logical and fairly evident; however, even a brief look at the innovation
efforts of organizations reveals that they face many challenges and obstacles in
maintaining smooth and balanced innovation processes.
Workplace Dignity Communicating Inherent, Earned, and Remediated Dignity :
Extant research on dignity at work has revealed conditions that contribute to
indignity, employees responses to dignity threats, and ways in which employees'
inherent dignity is undermined.
The business schools
winning the student talent wars :
A new survey of MBA admission consultants finds
some very familiar schools at the top, with some real surprises sprinkled
throughout, Every year, the world’s top business schools engage in an all-out
talent war for the best MBA applicants on the market
Scholarships pave way to elite programmes:
Funding provisions vary by region. The US leads
the way, while Europe and Asia are still catching up. At Stanford Graduate
School of Business, for example, half of the MBA students in the 2014-15
academic year received awards, paying for 58 per cent of their tuition.
Women in Asia buck trend for male business courses :
Wooing performed by firms and potential
recruits has a lot in common with trying to impress a love interest. Both
parties present their best faces, hide their uglier characteristics, and perform
a delicate dance in order to arrive at a mutually beneficial outcome.
Case competitions can boost your profile in the jobs market :
Companies and business schools sponsor case competitions and invite teams of
students to solve real-world business problems. These problems include
evaluating new ventures and resolving management dilemmas with time-critical
deadlines.
Evaluate business schools like a business:
The Brookings Institution just released a major
study evaluating thousands of American colleges. To analyze the “value” students
can expect, researchers looked at post-graduation salaries, rates of
student-loan repayment, quality of career services, and the like.
