By 2003, according to research from IDC, an estimated 67 percent of Internet users will log on outside the United States; and the foreign share of e-commerce will reach 56 percent. Although e-business leaders at most companies recognize the need to develop a global strategy, unfortunately many have not yet put one in place. The focus of this book is to conduct and present research that is useful for both theory and practice. In theory, the Web can reach the world. In practice, U.S. e-commerce sites have largely limited themselves to North America. Although that is about to change as the use of the Internet matures in markets throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America, gaining a global foothold involves more than just translating content. Companies must decide which countries to enter first, how they will update and manage content globally, and what is the appropriate mix of central control and local flexibility. They must also decide whether to build a global Web presence alone or develop tight partnerships with companies based in their targeted foreign markets. The case studies illustrated in this book will provide rich insights into these critical management issues. The global perspective of e-business is highlighted throughout the book because the Internet is a worldwide network of networked computers and any business that moves its operations to the Web becomes an international business. Companies will increasingly need to look toward the global marketplace. Chapter I is a decision-focused case study. GlobeRanger developed from the concept of using wireless technology to locate and track assets over a metropolitan,

  • JULY 29-AUGUST 1, 2014 the Aspen Institute Is an Educational and Policy Studies Organization Based in Washington, DC
    JULY 29-AUGUST 1, 2014 The Aspen Institute is an educational and policy studies organization based in Washington, DC. Its mission is to foster leadership based on enduring values and to provide a nonpartisan venue for dealing with critical issues. The Institute has campuses in Aspen, Colorado, and on the Wye River on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It also maintains offices in New York City and has an international network of partners. For more information, visit www.aspeninstitute.org. The Aspen Global Leadership Network (AGLN) is a worldwide community of successful, high-integrity, entrepreneurial leaders, called Aspen Global Leadership Fellows. Because of their demonstrated leadership accomplishments and abilities, these Fellows have been selected to be part of one of 12 active or sector-specific Fellowships around the world. These Fellowships include or are modeled after the Aspen Institute’s flagship values-based leadership program, the Henry Crown Fellowship Program, launched in 1997. Fellows enter their program having demonstrated a great deal of personal success. They leave it inspired to make a greater mark on their communities and the world; to move, as we say, “from success to significance.” In between, they are provided with an intimate forum for deep introspection, probing dialogue, and interactive problem-solving. The Aspen Global Leadership Network is designed to spur these Fellows to stretch themselves — to take their leadership to greater heights and broaden their impact to include society at large. The Network connects Fellows through events like the Aspen Action Forum so that they can learn from, collaborate with, and support one another. The Aspen Global Leadership Network includes nearly 1,900 Fellows from 48 countries — and is growing.

How Selective Amnesia Brought Us the First Black Socialist President of the United States Kristen Hoerl University of Nebraska–Lincoln When I was a child, my grandmother loved to repeat the proverb, “history is written by the victors.” She usually said this in response to televised news coverage of a national elec- tion or the conclusion of a foreign conflict. Listening to her at the dinner table with the nightly news in the background might explain why my scholarship has consistently drawn attention to what is excluded from the narratives of national belonging and identification.

    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES JONAS-FOWLER, JOYCELYN J. B.A. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, 1996 M.P.A. TROY STATE UNIVERSITY, 2005 IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU? A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES PORTRAYED IN BLACK FAMILY TELEVISION COMEDIES BETWEEN 1980 AND 2000 Committee Chair: Charmayne Patterson, Ph.D. Dissertation dated May 2018 Research shows that black people watch more television than any other race of people, and, given that television is the most influential media tool, the content of what may affect an audience’s behavior and beliefs deserves analysis. This study examines the black family, alleged pathology, strengths that are specifically associated with them, its portrayal on television, and how television is used as a tool for socialization and influence. A content analysis of the top thirty black family shows that appeared on major network television between 1980 and 2000 was conducted to determine if the family framed was portrayed realistically. Each show analyzed was found to portray some characteristic of strong black families, attributes some media and social critics had not previously recognized or acknowledged. This study suggests that further research is warranted from black family, cultural, and media scholars, as well as social policy and i program makers, and on how television influences entire cultures to shift socially and economically. ii IS THIS BLACK ENOUGH FOR YOU?
