  • Zoona's Journey to Customer Centricity in Africa
    CASE STUDY // Zoona’s Journey to Customer Centricity in Africa “ Charles Darwin got it right when he said that it’s not the strongest that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change . When we started on this journey, we didn’t plan today to look like today. We didn’t know exactly how things were going to pan out. However, we did know one thing: we would remain agile, ready to adapt to whatever was thrown our way.” — Zoona Founder Isms1 COVER PHOTO: Zoona agent, Lusaka, Zambia. 1. Zoona Founder Isms is a book published by Zoona in 2017 to articulate Zoona’s purpose and core values based on the vision and learning of its founders. 2 | cgap.org CGAP CASE STUDY ZOONA’S JOURNEY TO CUSTOMER CENTRICITY IN AFRICA Overview Zoona, an African fintech company launched in 2009, offers emerging entrepreneurs (agents) an opportunity to provide financial services to low-income consumers while earning commissions and creating employment. Started as an over-the-counter money transfer business, Zoona is expanding its digital product suite to include wallets, savings, and credit products.

Its hub, or back office operations, is located in Cape Town, South Africa while its spokes, the Malawi and Zambia country operations, support Zoona agents where they work.

Die Fußstapfen, in die er trat, waren dennoch riesig, denn Michael Schumacher hatte immerhin fünf Weltmeis- tertitel für die Roten geholt, Doch die Epoche Schumi lag zehn Jah- re zurück, und außerdem galten seit Einführung der 1,6-Liter-Tur- bomotoren mit zusätzlichem Elektroantrieb völlig andere Regeln. Ferrari war bei der technischen Entwicklung ganz vorne dabei und genoss einen klaren Favoritenstatus. Mit seinem ersten Sieg im zweiten Rennen für die Scuderia schürte Sebastian Vettel große Hoffnungen, doch mehr als zwei Vize-Weltmeistertitel hinter Le- wis Hamilton im überragenden Mercedes (2017 und 2018) waren für den Heppenheimer in den sechs Jahren nicht drin. In der vor- letzten Saison verschlechterte sich die Bilanz der Scuderia zuse- hends, und doch kam die Meldung von seinem Rücktritt Mitte Mai 2020 einigermaßen überraschend. Sebastian verhält sich wie ein englischer Gentleman, der mit steifer Oberlippe die letzten Grands Prix der Corona-Saison 2020 mit Anstand über die Bühne bringt und sich trotz offensichtlicher Defizite von Team und Arbeitsge- rät mit Kritik vornehm zurückhält.

And on July 21 Fiat Chrysler chairman, John Elkann, 42, wrote a wistful semi-obituary letter to the company's 236,000 employees, reminding them that it was Marchionne's "intellect, perseverance and leadership that saved Fiat." ROME -- The Italian component of Fiat-Chrysler [2] cars was already in crisis when Sergio Marchionne, 66, was in a university hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, on June 28, supposedly for an operation on his shoulder. But then Marchionne took a "sudden and sharp" turn for the worse, and is now unconscious on life-support; some here whisper the real cause is cancer, but no official statement has yet come. He last appeared in public on June 26 in Italy, two days before hospitalization. Although TV news footage from that day shows Marchionne weak and with apparent trouble Page 1 of 3 John Elkann: Sergio Marchionne "Will not Return" Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) breathing, some Italian press accounts say that the situation "precipitated almost without warning" while others spoke of an "unspecified aggressively infectious disease" only recently diagnosed. Whatever the cause, no improvement will come, for his condition is "irreversible," according to the hospital; and on July 21 Fiat Chrysler chairman, John Elkann, 42, wrote a wistful semi-obituary letter to the company's 236,000 employees, reminding them that it was Marchionne's "intellect, perseverance and leadership that saved Fiat." Marchionne, born in Italy but raised in Canada, took over the then failing 119-year-old Fiat company [3] in 2004.

Kasturi Ray, Ph.D Associate Professor Evren Savci, Ph.D Assistant Professor “DON’T BE EVIL”: GOOGLE’S LABOR, TECHNOLOGY, AND THE LIMITS OF CORPORATE GOOD Alison Agnes Veith San Francisco, California 2015 Google’s “Don’t Be Evil” motto and its public image as corporate do-gooder are examined through a material and cultural analysis of its internal labor hierarchies and its technological products. By focusing on Google’s hidden contracted reproductive service laborers, as well as the premises and consequences of disruptive, digital technology, this project reveals how the realities of necessary but undesirable work are obscured and contested. This dual focus allows for a revaluation of intimate labors in two ways. First, it reveals that Google’s sustained capital accumulation relies on its reproductive intimate labor. Second, it recognizes that Google’s corporate practices of invisibilizing intimate labor and mediating social intimacies are importantly reflective of the larger social, economic, and cultural trends in our emerging knowledge-based/service-based economy.

  • Google Chief Financial Officer Retiring 10 March 2015
    Google chief financial officer retiring 10 March 2015 Google chief financial officer Patrick Pichette is © 2015 AFP retiring after nearly seven years as one of the Internet titan's top executives. His pending departure was disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing available online Tuesday. A date for Pichette's departure from Google had yet to be set and he "intends to assist in the search for a new CFO and ensure an orderly transition," expected by the company to occur within six months. Prior to joining Google in 2008, Canada-born Pichette worked at McKinsey & Company, and Bell Canada. The Rhodes Scholar earned degrees from the University of Quebec in Montreal and from Britain's Oxford University. Pichette laid out his reasons for retiring in a heartfelt post at Google+ social network, explaining in touching detail how after more than 25 years of non-stop work he is shifting gears to explore the world with his longtime wife, Tamar. "I could not find a good argument to tell Tamar we should wait any longer for us to grab our backpacks and hit the road—celebrate our last 25 years together by turning the page and enjoy a perfectly fine mid-life crisis full of bliss and beauty, and leave the door open to serendipity for our next leadership opportunities, once our long list of travels and adventures is exhausted," Pichette said in his post. Pichette described working at Google as a privilege and expressed thanks for the friendship of co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, along with chairman Eric Schmidt.

  • Unrealized Potential: Misconceptions About Corporate Purpose and New Opportunities for Business Education1
    UNREALIZED POTENTIAL: MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT CORPORATE PURPOSE AND NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS EDUCATION1 MIGUEL PADRÓ, THE ASPEN INSTITUTE BUSINESS & SOCIETY PROGRAM MAY 28, 2014 The dominant conception of the corporation today is that firms exist to maximize value for shareholders. Unfortunately, a narrow understanding of this paradigm causes many business leaders to believe that they are legally and morally obligated to maximize stock price for their investors. This conventional wisdom unnecessarily constrains thinking about the role of corporations in the long-term health of society. In doing so, it may also be an impediment to building the skills that companies, investors, and society are demanding from corporate leaders. We clarify the widespread assumption that shareholders own the corporation, then explore the implications for what is being taught to business students about value creation, risk, accountability, good management, and good governance. Business education is uniquely positioned to develop business leaders and investors who exercise sound judgment, resist the allure of the short term, and thus help realize the full potential of the corporate form. The Challenge The first quarter of 2011 at Google was, in the words of CEO Larry Page, “tremendous.” The company, still navigating the global recession, saw its revenues rise 27% and income was up 17%. For the quarter, Google earned $7.04 per share, up from $6.06 a year earlier. However, in afterhours trading following the announcement, Google saw its stock price drop 5%. Analysts bemoaned increases in Google’s costs, particularly employment costs, as the tech giant hired 1900 new employees in the quarter (as part of a plan to hire 6200 new employees over the course of the year) and gave a 10% raise to its employees.

Umberto said he needed to think about it. Now, at the end of January 2003, Umberto had come to give Gianni an answer. Gianni was confi ned to a wheelchair, spending his fi nal days at home. He had once found solace looking out of the window onto his wife Marella’s fl ower gardens below, especially his favorites, the yellow ones. But now it was winter. Gianni looked out at the city of Turin, which was visible across the river through the bare trees. Street after street stretched out toward the horizon in the crisp January air, lined up like an army of troops marching to meet the Alps beyond. It was a clear day, and he could see Fiat’s white Lingotto headquarters, as well as the vast bulk of Fiat’s Mirafi ori car factory on the far side of the city.
