The most important figure in “cognitive revolution” and “analytic philosophy”, Chomsky’s wide-ranging influence also extend

The marketing industry develops very fast. Each year, new software, new hardware, new companies, and new user preferences dictate a host of sweeping changes that either get adopted or ignored by the companies of the world. Early adopters get a leg up on the competition, appealing to new markets or cementing their reputations as industry leaders, while those lagging behind miss out on a key opportunity to retain their positions.

For marketers, it’s crucial to spend time reviewing data from 2015 an

When a decision is a tough one, it is often a choice between two alternatives that could both end up with “similar” results. Similar can be as in comparing a Navel orange to a Valencia orange or a Navel orange to a Granny Smith apple or a Navel orange to a mango or snow peas or nuts or crackers and cheese. Get my point? You compare a Navel with a Valencia if you know you want an orange, whereas if you simply want a snack you might be considering an orange or a bowl of nuts.

Employees bring in revenue, rescue a customer, make your products, deliver goods, and sustain your profitability going forward. Identifying the right people, and avoiding the wrong ones, is an imperativ

The just-released Oxfam Davos Report which the mass media have ignored arrestingly shows that 62 individuals – 388 in 2010 – now own more wealth than 50% of the world’s population. More shockingly, it reports from its uncontested public sources that this share of wealth by half of the world’s people has collapsed by over 40% in just the last five years.
