Beata Szydło: Więcej polskiej gospodarki w polskiej gospodarce
Forum Ekonomiczne w Krynicy - 09 września 2015 - "Trwający od 2008 roku globalny kryzys gospodarczy udowodnił ponad wszelką wątpliwość jedno - kapitał ma narodowość. Karty rozdają ci, którzy mają więcej własnych hal fabrycznych niż zagranicznych montowni na swoim terenie. Trwały sukces jest udziałem tych, którzy mają więcej rodzimych marek o charakterze transgranicznym, a peryferyjność i kruche sukcesy należą do tych, którzy w globalnym łańcuchu dostaw pełnią rolę podwykonawców i są zagłębiem tzw. spółek-córek. Bo znaczenie państw, ich przewagi konkurencyjne oraz zamożność społeczeństw mają źródła w rodzimym kapitale zdolnym do gospodarczego zdobywania własnych rynków i (a może przede wszystkim) rynków zagranicznych." - pisze na łamach dziennika "Rzeczpospolita" Pani Beata Szydło, Wiceprezes Prawa i Sprawiedliwości.

Jak Słowacja wygrała z Polską przetarg na inwestycję Jaguar Land Rover w wysokości 1,4 mld euro
Bratysława, Słowacja - 06 września 2015 - "Perfekcyjnie skonstruowany pakiet zachęt, ale przede wszystkim absolutną dyskrecję w negocjacjach Słowacja zapewniła Jaguar Land Rover. Kolejnym argumentem było członkostwo w strefie euro oraz parlament przyjazny inwestorom. I dlatego ostatecznie pokonała Polskę. W zamian Słowacy dostali szansę na inwestycję w wysokości 1,4 mld euro. 11 sierpnia 2015 roku, ku wielkiemu rozczarowaniu Polaków, Jaguar Land Rover i rząd słowacki podpisały list intencyjny w sprawie budowy fabryki aut, która ma dać zatrudnienie 2-4 tysięcy osób i produkować docelowo 300 tysięcy aut rocznie." - pisze Danuta Walewska, Redaktorka dziennika "Rzeczpospolita".

Professor Barry Schwartz: Why We're So Unhappy With Work - And How to Fix It
LinkedIn - September 05, 2015 - Labor Day, 2015, offers Americans something to celebrate for the first time in years. All around the country, movements are growing to raise the minimum wage significantly. The current target is $15/hour, more than twice the federal minimum, and legislation to create such a minimum is being passed in city after city. As this effort to move full-time workers above the poverty line gathers steam, there is reason to believe that in the not-to-distant future, all employees will be guaranteed a living wage. For decades, historic gains in worker productivity have been going to those who occupy executive suites and attend shareholders' meetings. Now, there is hope that this regressive trend will change.

IFA 2015: Introducing 6th Generation Intel Core, Intel's Best Processor Ever
IFA 2015, Berlin, Germany and Santa Clara, Calif., USA - September 03, 2015 - Today Intel Corporation introduced the 6th Generation Intel Core processor family, the company's best processors ever. The launch marks a turning point in people's relationship with computers. The 6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver enhanced performance and new immersive experiences at the lowest power levels ever and also support the broadest range of device designs - from the ultra-mobile compute stick, to 2 in 1s and huge high-definition All-in-One desktops, to new mobile workstations. There are over 500 million computers in use today that are four to five years old or older. They are slow to wake, their batteries don't last long, and they can't take advantage of all the new experiences available today. Built on the new Skylake microarchitecture on Intel's leading 14nm manufacturing process technology, 6th Gen Intel Core processors deliver up to two and a half times better performance, triple the battery life, and graphics that are 30 times better for seamless and smooth gaming and video experiences versus the average 5-year-old computer. They can also be half as thin and half the weight, have faster wake up time, and battery life that lasts virtually all day.

Sir Richard Branson: You Can't Fake Personality, Passion or Purpose
LinkedIn - August 31, 2015 - The first thing we look for when hiring new staff is personality. In my eyes, personality always wins over book smarts. Company knowledge and job-specific skills can be learned, but you can't train a personality. We look for people who are friendly and considerate, and who like working with others. From our airlines to our call centres, and our office buildings to our gym floors, you will always see smiling people working together to get the job done. These personalities make our staff successful, and, in turn, our businesses successful - they also keep our company culture vibrant. We also place more importance on experience rather than qualifications. The person with the top grades and most credentials isn't always the best person for the role.

IBM and GENCI Team to Drive Supercomputing Closer to Exascale
Paris, France - August 28, 2015 - IBM (NYSE: IBM) and GENCI, the high performance computing agency in France, today announced a collaboration aimed at speeding up the path to exascale computing - the ability of a computing system to perform at least one exaflop, or a billion billion calculations, in one second. Currently the fastest systems in the world perform between ten and 33 petaflops, or ten to 33 million billion calculations per second - roughly one to three percent the speed of exascale. Put into context, if exascale computing is the equivalent of an automobile reaching 1000 miles per hour, today's fastest systems are running within a range between ten and 33 miles per hour. The collaboration, planned to run for at least 18 months, focuses on readying complex scientific applications for systems under development expected to achieve more than 100 petaflops, a solid step forward on the path to exascale. Working closely with supercomputing experts from IBM, GENCI will have access to some of the most advanced high performance computing technologies stemming from the rapidly expanding OpenPOWER ecosystem.

Geoff Colvin: What Really Makes Teams Work
LinkedIn - August 08, 2015 - Despite what you might think, as information technology has grown more powerful and influential, the importance of human groups - as distinct from indi-viduals - in creating knowledge has increased enormously. The trend is starkly clear in a massive study of 20 million research papers in 252 fields within science and engineering, the social sciences, and the arts and humanities over 50 years, plus 2 million patents of all kinds over 30 years. In nearly 100 percent of the fields, more research is being done by teams, and the teams are getting bigger. The trend is so broad that it has apparently become self-reinforcing: As teams increasingly produce higher quality work than individuals, individuals become less likely to match it and thus more likely to become part of teams striving to pro-duce even better work. The result is that humans working in groups are more crucial to the success of organizations (and whole economies), and the ability to work in groups is more crucial to the success of individuals.
