...Discuss the Advantages & Perils of using information from the internet The Internet (or World Wide Web) can be known as a kind of global meeting place where people from all parts of the world can come together. The internet service is available through your internet friendly device, i.e. computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone, where just about everything under the sun is now at the fingertips of anyone who has access. Information in abundance! Of course with anything there are advantages & disadvantages on information usage. Advantages: 1. Access - The internet is a virtual treasure trove of information, any kind of information on any topic is available. The powerful search engines available on the internet can help you to find data on any subject that you need. 2. Convenience – because of the nature of accessing the internet you can have the information or means to acquire the information quickly, and just about anywhere. For example, in a meeting, at a bus stop (for a timetable), in your own home, etc. If you want to read a book these days you can download it rather than trekking down to the library or book store. 3. Cost effective – It can be cheaper to say read your downloaded book, catch a bus or drive to the local shops to buy a paper to read the news, pay for bank statements when you can now download them for free, free mail via email (no more postage stamps). 4. Nature – the information can target specific levels of study or business. Everything...

...The Oxford 3000™ The keywords of the Oxford 3000 have been carefully selected by a group of language experts and experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study because of their importance and usefulness. The selection is based on three criteria. The words which occur most frequently in English are included, based on the information in the British National Corpus and the Oxford Corpus Collection. (A corpus is an electronically held collection of written or spoken texts, often consisting of hundreds of millions of words.) However, being frequent in the corpus alone is not enough for a word to qualify as a keyword: it may be that the word is used very frequently, but only in a narrowly defined area, such as newspapers or scientific articles. In order to avoid including these restricted words, we include as keywords only those words which are frequent across a range of different types of text. In other words, keywords are both frequent and used in a variety of contexts. In addition, the list includes some very important words which happen not to be used frequently, even though they are very familiar to most users of English. These include, for example, words for parts of the body, words used in travel, and words which are useful for explaining what you mean when you do not know the exact word for something. These words were identified by consulting a panel of over seventy experts in the fields of teaching and language study. The words of the Oxford...

...Fabio Devalle Le fonte del segnale debole è il Corriere della Sera che, insieme ad altre testate giornalistiche, in data 18/10/2012, attraverso il suo sito ha annunciato il crollo in borsa di Google. Successivamente, per svolgere la relazione, è stata utilizzata un’analisi effettuata dal Wall Street Journal, riportata da Panorama. In base alle informazioni fornite dal celebre giornale americano, sono stati ricercati e riportati alcuni dati che riguardano: Gli introiti pubblicitari generati dal motore di ricerca più utilizzato e famoso al mondo; La modalità di utilizzo odierna di Google da parte degli utenti. L’ultima trimestrale di Google è stata chiusa con un utile netto pari a 2.18 miliardi di dollari, una cifra che, nel gergo finanziario, è da considerare sicuramente come monstre. Va però detto che durante lo stesso periodo del 2011, la quota era di 2.73 miliardi di dollari (il 20% in più). Questa notizia ha spiazzato tutti, a partire dagli analisti che si aspettavano un utile per azione di 10.65 dollari e invece hanno dovuto prendere atto dei 9.03 dollari effettivi. Nella seduta del 18 ottobre 2012 il titolo di Google è arrivato a cedere fino al 10,5 % del suo valore ed è stato sospeso per due ore a causa dell’eccesso di ribasso. Solo sul finale della giornata, la perdita è stata marginalmente recuperata, facendo registrare un -8,01 %. A peggiorar la situazione, si è aggiunto anche un altro pasticcio. La performance dell’ultimo trimestre è stata diffusa in anticipo...

...Developing a Global Marketing Vision Through Marketing Research Defining the Issue • What is marketing research? – “systematic and objective identification of information, collection, analysis and dissemination of information for the purpose of improving decision making related to the identification and solution of problems and opportunities in marketing” I. Differences with Domestic Research - New parameters - New environments - More factors to consider - More competitors Recognizing the Need for Research • Reasons that executives may view international research as unimportant: – Lack of sensitivity to differences in consumer tastes and preferences. – Limited appreciation for the different marketing environments abroad. – Lack of familiarity with national and international data sources and the inability to use them. – Actual but limited business experience in a country or with a specific firm may be used as a substitute for organized research.
