Today, everything computes.

This is the daily reality jobs.

Realizing its promise, however, will require more than infusing That’s why leaders are looking for more than high-performance computation into the world. We also have to make computing technology. They are moving to architectures optimized for itself smarter. specific purposes, and built around their own deep domain Wait, isn’t computing smart, by definition? Without question, knowledge – in healthcare, retail, energy, science and more. remarkable levels of computer intelligence are being invented This workload-specific approach integrates uniquely tuned – such as Watson, the IBM system that defeated the two all-time software and hardware – everything from the applications to champions on the TV quiz show, Jeopardy!

But that means something different for business than for individual So, as our planet gets smarter, our computing systems must do so, consumers. By infusing clouds with security and manageability too. They must become far more automated, robust and adaptive we can make them smarter in order to provide companies – that is, industrialized. Thankfully, a new, smarter computing model with the agility required to move quickly in highly competitive is emerging. It is designed for data. It is tuned to the task. And it is environments; to activate and retire resources as needed; to managed in the cloud. manage infrastructure elements in a dynamic way; and to move workloads for more efficiency – while seamlessly integrating Designed for data: Organizations of all kinds need to manage not with their traditional computing environment. just information, but vast, global information supply chains.

  • Alemany, Ricard
    1 As I finished my first year of the MBA, one of my mentor’s advice was to read. Used to reading case studies, the question really was “what books should I read?”. After two years at IESE, and experiencing first hand the breadth and depth of knowledge shared from IESE Faculty, I thought the most valuable advice on what to read was right in front of me. How could I continue to learn from professors beyond the classroom, once the MBA path comes to an end. I thought a reading list from IESE Faculty could serve not just me, but my whole class and perhaps future IESE graduates, as a guide to continue learning. Therefore, I asked professors for book recommendations that would inspire and guide us in our future endeavors. The document that follows is the result of it. I hope you find this document insightful and useful. I would like to thank all the participating professors for their recommendations and participation in the project and for sharing their knowledge not only in class, but also beyond it. Additionally, I am grateful for the help and patience of Eduardo Pérez (IESE MBA 2019), the creative genius, who has given shape of the document that I here present to you. Antonio Recio Sanromán. " Our brain is like our body: it needs exercise. If you don’t read at least one good book every month, you will lose most of the good intellectual and analytical shape you got during the MBA reading every day case after case… So, don’t stop reading.

  • GROWING INTERNATIONAL SALES Global Segmentation Toolkit Using Segmentation to Win International Sales CONTENTS
    GROWING INTERNATIONAL SALES Global Segmentation Toolkit Using segmentation to win international sales CONTENTS − Introduction − Culturally Curious − Social Energisers − Great Escapers − Understanding experiential tourism − The experience wheel − The 5 stage digital consumer journey − Direct and indirect sales channels − Overview − Air and ferry routes − Snapshot of the market − 5 steps to developing your sales plan − Overseas sales action plan template − Fáilte Ireland − Tourism Ireland INTRODUCTION In 2013 Irish tourism saw a significant and well deserved growth in overseas visitor numbers with many markets now back or close to peak performance levels. Overall growth of 7.2% in 2013 was reflected in an increase from Great Britain (GB) of +5.6%, the United States (US) +14.5%, Germany + 7.7% and France + 9.4%. For the first nine months of 2013, corresponding overseas revenue grew by +13% and holidaymakers by +13%. With growth of +11% between December 2013 and February 2014, the positive start to 2014 is reflected in all the main source markets; visitors from North America (US & Canada) have increased by +17%; GB +14%; Germany +16% and France + 5%. Tourism Ireland’s target for 2014 is 8.2m overseas visitors, an increase of 1 million over 2013. While the trading environment in most source markets remains challenging there are positive indicators. To secure this growth Ireland must win additional market share in the main markets and in a determined effort to do this, the tourism agencies on the island of Ireland are jointly implementing a new, evidence-based consumer global segmentation model. This model provides new, unique insights about the key consumer segments; their motivations, the kinds of experiences they will buy, associated market differentiators and the key channel intermediaries they use.
