...What do we mean at DePaul by a “Socially Responsible Leader”? DePaul’s Vision Twenty12 calls for a special focus on “developing socially-responsible leaders and engaged alumni.” This goal is central to the full expression and realization of our Catholic, Vincentian and urban mission, which challenges us to maintain vigilant attention to the common good and to the sacred dignity of all people, especially the poor and marginalized. The development of socially responsible leaders in today’s complex, global, and ever-changing world requires a commitment to students’ holistic and integrated learning by a community of faculty, staff and University partners who accompany and mentor students on their developmental path. Moreover, it requires that the University community itself embody what it seeks to develop in its students, thus acting as an effective mentoring community and environment. At DePaul, five broad categories have emerged as central to our understanding of socially responsible leadership: 1. Self-Understanding & Personal Integrity Socially responsible leaders have achieved a sense of self-authorship or personal agency. They critically assess and actively discern how their personal gifts, talents, resources, and abilities might best contribute to the broader human community. They articulate and live with a sense of authenticity, purpose, and ethical integrity. They maintain an appreciation for the transcendent dimension of human life, and seek ongoing personal...

M-commerce is a subset of E-commerce. Consumers can choose different devices to shop online. The devices are personal computers, laptops, mobile phones, tablets etc. There is a huge increase in number of mobile phones in India and this is expected to be leveraged by the E-commerce industry. There are more than 286 million debit cards in India and additional security (via security codes) enhances the scope of Ecommerce (Deshmukh, Sujata, & Deshmukh, Prashant, & Thampi, G. T 2013).

...up on your website will need to be marketed and targeted at the right customer audience. The Internet is the most widely used facilitator of information transfer. These computer networks have already changed the way people live and communicate on a business and personal level. It takes only seconds to email a three page document across the coast. Compare this to normal US mail that takes from two to five days to reach its destination. Invoices can now be emailed seconds after a print order is completed and will reach the client before the product does. If I owned a business, I would have to gear my entire website to Mcommerce (mobile commerce). In few years, Internet-enabled mobile devices will outnumber PCs. Mobile commerce is the ability to purchase goods and services through a wireless Internet-enabled device. The emerging technology behind mcommerce is a mobile device equipped with q web-ready micro-browser. (2009 p.115) I would also make my website user friendly and easy to navigate, and don’t add a lot of useless information to the website. I would probably create a web address that’s easy to remember and easy to type. You have about 3-5 seconds to gain the customers interest before exiting and moving-on to another url address.

...www.pwc.com/india Connect with Consumers Value Added Services: The Next Wave 2 PwC Executive Summary Traditionally, speed has been considered as limiting factor in growth of value added services. The ongoing roll-out of 3G and BWA services could potentially address this gap. India is a young nation with over 64% of its citizens below the age of 34 years and with literacy rate of around 80% amongst the age group of 1524 years. The nation’s growth and employment opportunities have made the younger generation mobile with the rising income. Though current VAS adoption is limited to select set of services, this combination of age, income and people’s mobility promises a great future. We, in this report, through a primary market survey, attempt to highlight the issues that are holding back the growth of Mobile VAS in India and map future consumer preferences. Our market research covers consumers across SEC A, SEC B and SEC C. This report also assesses the current state of VAS ecosystem and how it will evolve. The report evaluates the challenges faced by different stakeholders in VAS ecosystem and how each of them should react to be able to succeed in this new environment.
