  • 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.

    ENGLAND - SWEDEN MATCH PRESS KIT Gamla Ullevi, Gothenburg Friday 26 June 2009 - 18.00CET (18.00 local time) Matchday 4 - Semi-finals Contents 1 - Match background 6 - Head coach 2 - Team facts 7 - Competition facts 3 - Squad list 8 - Competition information 4 - Group statistics 9 - Tournament schedule 5 - Match officials 10 - Legend Match background Both England and Sweden will be attempting to end a long wait for international success when they meet in Gothenburg in the first semi-final of the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. • England claimed the last of their two U21 titles 25 years ago, defeating Spain 3-0 on aggregate over two legs in the 1984 final. The years since have largely been barren, with no title at any since a side including Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Sol Campbell and Robbie Fowler triumphed on home soil in the European U18 Championship in 1993. This time round hopes are high following wins against Finland (2-1) and Spain (2-0), coupled with a 1-1 draw against Germany, taking Stuart Pearce's side through as Group B winners to face Sweden. They will hope to fare better than two years ago when they went out to the Dutch hosts after a 32-penalty shoot-out. • Sweden, meanwhile, have never won a UEFA men's competition, losing to Italy 2-1 on aggregate over two legs off the 1992 U21 final. The Scandinavian side last reached this stage five years ago, losing on penalties to Serbia and Montenegro in Oberhausen after a 1-1 draw. A measure of revenge was exacted on Matchday 3 of this competition, a 3-1 win against Serbia in Malmo taking the hosts into the last four as Group A runners-up following a 5-1 win against Belarus and 2-1 defeat by Italy.

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.
