  • Big Blue in the Bottomless Pit: the Early Years of IBM Chile
    Big Blue in the Bottomless Pit: The Early Years of IBM Chile Eden Medina Indiana University In examining the history of IBM in Chile, this article asks how IBM came to dominate Chile’s computer market and, to address this question, emphasizes the importance of studying both IBM corporate strategy and Chilean national history.

  • The Evolution of Ibm Research Looking Back at 50 Years of Scientific Achievements and Innovations
    FEATURES THE EVOLUTION OF IBM RESEARCH LOOKING BACK AT 50 YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS AND INNOVATIONS l Chris Sciacca and Christophe Rossel – IBM Research – Zurich, Switzerland – DOI: 10.1051/epn/2014201 By the mid-1950s IBM had established laboratories in New York City and in San Jose, California, with San Jose being the first one apart from headquarters. This provided considerable freedom to the scientists and with its success IBM executives gained the confidence they needed to look beyond the United States for a third lab. The choice wasn’t easy, but Switzerland was eventually selected based on the same blend of talent, skills and academia that IBM uses today — most recently for its decision to open new labs in Ireland, Brazil and Australia. 16 EPN 45/2 Article available at http://www.europhysicsnews.org or http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/epn/2014201 THE evolution OF IBM RESEARCH FEATURES he Computing-Tabulating-Recording Com- sorting and disseminating information was going to pany (C-T-R), the precursor to IBM, was be a big business, requiring investment in research founded on 16 June 1911.

  • GIIN Launch 2009.Pdf
    Global Impact Investing Network September 25th 2009 New Industry Group Launched to Facilitate For-Profit Investing that Addresses Social and Environmental Challenges New York City, September 25, 2009—President Bill Clinton today announced the launch of the Global Impacting Investing Network (GIIN), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting more effective impact investing around the world, at the Clinton Global Initiative. Impact investing is the use of for-profit investment to address social and environmental problems. The GIIN will promote the infrastructure, activities, education, and research that enable more effective impact investing, and will ultimately lead to a coherent, well-developed marketplace for the impact investing industry. Two major initiatives begin this work: The GIIN Investors’ Council - a group of leading impact investors representing a diverse range of institutions from around the world. The Investors’ Council will provide leadership in the industry, disseminate the latest research and best practices in the field, and support the creation and adoption of industry infrastructure, including impact metrics. The Impact Reporting and Investment Standards (IRIS) – initiative to provide a common framework for measuring social and environmental impact of investments. IRIS addresses a major barrier to the growth of the impact investing industry – the lack of transparency and credibility in how funds define, track, and report on the social and environmental performance of their capital. “This network is a response to growing appetites from investors across the world for a platform that allows them to work together to capture the powerful potential of impact investing,” said Amit Bouri, Director of Strategy and Development for the GIIN.

  • Treatment and Differential Diagnosis Insights for the Physician's
    Treatment and differential diagnosis insights for the physician’s consideration in the moments that matter most The role of medical imaging in global health systems is literally fundamental. Like labs, medical images are used at one point or another in almost every high cost, high value episode of care. Echocardiograms, CT scans, mammograms, and x-rays, for example, “atlas” the body and help chart a course forward for a patient’s care team. Imaging precision has improved as a result of technological advancements and breakthroughs in related medical research. Those advancements also bring with them exponential growth in medical imaging data. The capabilities referenced throughout this document are in the research and development phase and are not available for any use, commercial or non-commercial. Any statements and claims related to the capabilities referenced are aspirational only. There were roughly 800 million multi-slice exams performed in the United States in 2015 alone. Those studies generated approximately 60 billion medical images. At those volumes, each of the roughly 31,000 radiologists in the U.S. would have to view an image every two seconds of every working day for an entire year in order to extract potentially life-saving information from a handful of images hidden in a sea of data. 31K 800MM 60B radiologists exams medical images What’s worse, medical images remain largely disconnected from the rest of the relevant data (lab results, patient-similar cases, medical research) inside medical records (and beyond them), making it difficult for physicians to place medical imaging in the context of patient histories that may unlock clues to previously unconsidered treatment pathways.

  • Autodesk and Autocad
    Chapter 8 Autodesk and AutoCAD Autodesk as a company, has gone through several distinct phases of life. There were the “Early Years” which covers the time from when Autodesk was founded as a loose programmer-centric collaborative in early 1982 to the company’s initial public offering in 1985, the “Adolescent Years” during which the company grew rapidly but seemed to do so without any clear direction and the “Mature Years.” The beginning of the latter phase began when Carol Bartz became president and CEO in 1992 and continues to the current time. Even under Bartz, there were several well defined periods of growth as well as some fairly stagnant years.1 Mike Riddle gets hooked on computers Mike Riddle was born in California with computers in his veins. In junior high school, he built his first computer out of relays. It didn’t work very well, but it convinced him that computers were going to be an important part of his life. After attending Arizona State University, Riddle went to work for a steel fabricator where he had his first exposure to CAD. The company had a $250,000 Computervision system that, although capable of 3D work, was used strictly for 2D drafting. The company was engaged in doing steel detailing for the Palo Verde nuclear power plant in Arizona. Riddle felt that anything they were doing on this project with the Computervision system could be done on a microcomputer-based system. About the same time Riddle began working at a local Computerland store where they provided him with free computer time to do with as he wanted.

  • Yahoo Names Tech Veteran Carol Bartz As New CEO
    866-536-8614 | Contact Us www.peakpositions.com Yahoo names tech veteran Carol Bartz as new CEO. SAN FRANCISCO - Yahoo Inc. named technology veteran Carol Bartz as its new chief executive Tuesday, bringing in a no-nonsense leader known for developing a clear focus - something that has eluded the struggling Internet company during a three-year slump. The decision to lure Bartz, 60, from software maker Autodesk Inc. ends Yahoo's two- month search to replace co-founder Jerry Yang, who surrendered the CEO reins after potentially lucrative deals with rivals Microsoft Corp. and Google Inc. both collapsed. After describing herself as a straight shooter, Bartz told analysts in a conference call that she intended to ensure Yahoo gets "some friggin' breathing room" so the company can "kick some butt." She said it would be presumptuous to share her vision for Yahoo on her first day on the job. "I wouldn't have taken the job if I didn't believe there was a huge opportunity here," Bartz said before she had to hustle off to her first meeting with Yahoo's top managers. After a tepid early reaction, investors seemed to warm up to Bartz's appointment. Yahoo shares fell 12 cents Tuesday to close at $12.10, then recovered 35 cents, nearly 3 percent, in extended trading. Bartz's appointment could set the stage for Microsoft to renew its efforts to buy Yahoo's Internet search operations as a way of mounting a more serious threat to Google, the market leader. Microsoft had been reluctant to deal with Yang because he rebuffed several previous overtures, including a $47.5 billion offer to buy Yahoo in its entirety last May.
