OF MT. ADAMS Global education is of increasing importance to the university and has long been an important part of the Albers School. Our new mission statement serves to underscore our focus on global business and programs going forward. Within the new strategic plan, we have developed key initiatives around faculty scholarship, curriculum development, global education, technology, human resources, and the Seattle University Youth Initiative. The latter is a university wide effort to support youth and families in Seattle’s Bailey Gatzert Elementary School neighborhood, an area that adjoins our campus. As we move forward on these initiatives, you will be hearing more about them in the Albers Brief. Thank you for your support of the Albers School.

Photograph: Michael Reynolds/EPA The top leaders from world’s biggest technology companies called on the US to "move aggressively" to reform the National Security Agency’s controversial surveillance operations after discussions with President Obama on Tuesday, resisting attempts by the White House to portray the encounter as covering a range of broader priorities. Executives from 15 companies, including Google, Apple, Yahoo and Twitter, used a face­to­face meeting with Obama and vice­president Joe Biden to express their concern that the NSA’s wide­ranging surveillance activities had undermined the trust of their users. The meeting came a day after a federal judge ruled that the NSA’s bulk collection of Americans’ phone records was “almost Orwellian” in scope and probably a violation of the US constitution [2]. Some of the tech companies represented at the White House have already expressed deep concern at the wide­ranging nature of NSA surveillance, and the way it apparently draws information from their systems without their knowledge.

  • Microsoft: New Wine in an Old Bottle?
    HK1039 ALI FARHOOMAND MICROSOFT: NEW WINE IN AN OLD BOTTLE? Within four weeks of becoming the new CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella laid out the major challenges that awaited him in the two letters he sent to everyone at Microsoft.1 He defined Microsoft’s battlefield as the “mobile-first and cloud-first world.” 2 That was where Microsoft needed to get its products and technology right, to build platforms and ecosystems and to integrate Nokia devices, services and the new mobile capabilities. In order to do so, Microsoft needed to zero in on a mobile and cloud-first world and do new things. In his view, “industry does not respect tradition – it only respects innovation.” And in order to innovate, he needed his 130,000-strong staff around the world to lead and help drive cultural change, to find Microsoft’s swing so that the team was “in such perfect unison that no single action by any one is out of synch with those of all the others.”3 Many challenges awaited Microsoft in its transformative journey. On platforms, the future of Windows was not clear. On devices, Microsoft needed to find ways to woo application developers to build its mobile ecosystem. On integration, the company had to find ways to transfer and to grow the mobile capability acquired from Nokia. And most importantly, Nadella had to figure out how he could achieve cultural changes to focus everyone on innovation via collaboration. The Business Legacy Business Performance When Steve Ballmer retired, he left behind a record high revenue year in 2013 but a trail of sluggish stock performance [see Exhibit 1 for the company’s revenue and net income figures 1 Nadella, S.

    Microsoft: instilling a growth mindset When Satya Nadella became CEO of Microsoft in February 2014, the company seemed in danger of fading into irrelevance. Now its share price is at an all-time high. How did he do it? By Herminia Ibarra and Aneeta Rattan Report⁄Anna Johnston n less than five years as CEO, Satya Nadella has taken to 23% above the industry average. Microsoft from a company perceived as a Windows-centric By 2014 the Microsoft that Nadella inherited was fading toward lumbering giant to a US$700 billion (£540 billion) tech irrelevance, heralded the press. The tech industry had shifted from player whose strategic bets on artificial intelligence (AI) desktop computers to smartphones – from Microsoft’s Windows to and cloud computing are paying off. After a decade of flat Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android. Apple and Google had soared growth under Nadella’s predecessor, the company’s share to record market valuations and Microsoft’s stock price had stalled, price soared to an all-time high in June 2018. despite the fact that revenue had tripled and profits had doubled When Nadella took over from Steve Ballmer on 4 during Ballmer’s reign as CEO from 2000 to 2014. February 2014, Microsoft was plagued by internal knife fights, As industry analyst Jan Dawson summarised: “It was an bickering and inertia.

  • A New Management Structure for a New Phase of the Affordable Care Act by Neera Tanden, Zeke Emanuel, and Topher Spiro May 17, 2014
    A New Management Structure for a New Phase of the Affordable Care Act By Neera Tanden, Zeke Emanuel, and Topher Spiro May 17, 2014 President Barack Obama’s nomination of Sylvia Mathews Burwell as the next secretary of health and human services presents an opportunity to look afresh at the decision- making processes for implementation of the Affordable Care Act. More than 8 million Americans have already signed up for private health insurance through the marketplaces created under the Affordable Care Act—exceeding all expec- tations.1 A few months ago, no one would have thought this achievement was possible. The federal marketplace—which sells health plans in 34 states—has come a long way. When it was first launched in October 2013, the federal marketplace was virtually unusable. Its website, HealthCare.gov, was slow, produced error messages, and crashed frequently. For weeks, the website was down an estimated 60 percent of the time.2 But a crisis management team led by Jeffrey Zients repaired more than 400 software bugs and significantly upgraded hardware to improve the system’s capacity.3 The results were significant:4 • Response times have dropped from eight seconds to less than half a second. • Error rates have dropped from more than 6 percent to less than 0.5 percent. • The system is up and running more than 99 percent of the time, an increase from 43 percent. • System capacity can handle more than 1.8 million site visits per day and about 100,000 users at once.5 • Error rates for 834 forms—which transmit enrollment information to insurers—have dropped sharply.
