    McKinsey Global Institute McKinsey Global Institute Global flows in a digital trade, finance, How age: people, anddata connect worldthe economy April 2014 Global flows in a digital age: How trade, finance, people, and data connect the world economy The McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, was established in 1990 to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth; natural resources; labor markets; the evolution of global financial markets; the economic impact of technology and innovation; and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, the economic impact of the Internet, and the future of manufacturing. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI partners. Project teams are led by the MGI partners and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey & Company’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey & Company’s global network of partners and industry and management experts.

  • Community Engagement and Social Change Minor Capstone Papers
    UCLA Community Engagement and Social Change Minor Capstone Papers Title Social Impact Through Business: A Comparative Analysis of Undergraduate Course Offerings and Perceptions of University Support Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4g7574m3 Author Nordstrom, Anna Publication Date 2019-08-09 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Nordstrom 1 Social Impact Through Business: A Comparative Analysis of Undergraduate Course Offerings and Perceptions of University Support By: Anna Nordstrom Faculty Advisor: Jennifer Walske Civic Engagement Capstone Project Nordstrom 2 Social Impact Through Business: A Comparative Analysis of Undergraduate Course Offerings and Perceptions of University Support Introduction Social impact education is a new and growing field. From mandatory ethics courses to entire concentrations in social entrepreneurship, the diversity and range of offerings in this field are vast. Based on my research of four university social impact programs at the undergraduate level, within business fields, there are an interesting smorgasburg of course offerings. However, as this paper suggests, learning more about the implications and current offerings of social impact programs can help universities understand the needs of undergraduate students, to better serve this population of students. It can also further progressive social movements through students that choose to pursue social impact after graduation. Positionality This topic is interesting to me because I am currently teaching a course in social impact through business at the undergraduate level. I have found that there are not many courses on this topic at UCLA. This lack of offerings motivated my research to further understand how other universities approach this educational area and work with their students to further their learning.

  • Valley Girls
    VALLEY GIRLS They’re storming Silicon Valley with their sharp ideas. Meet six American Indian women who are paving their way to technological superstardom with their ambition and aptitude. By AARTI VIRANI and PARIZAAD KHAN SETHI Photographed by THAYER ALLYSON GOWDY Styled by KIERSTEN ANN 281 SHRADDHA CHAPLOT, 30, GREENGINEER, CISCO Shraddha Chaplot was that kid. The one who asked for more math homework, the one who worked out of a ninth-grade math book when her fourth grade class was struggling with theirs. In fact, at 30, she’s still that kid. “I’m really looking forward to my 10 pi birthday (31.4 years) and my 5-bit birthday (32). For the latter, microprocessors will be the party favours!” she says. After growing up in Walnut, a small town outside Los Angeles, Udaipur-born Chaplot studied electrical engineering and machine intelligence at the University of California, San Diego. “I had six different internships in college, and the last one was at Cisco, which turned into my first job. I always wanted to do things that made a real impact, changed a person’s perspective and dreams.” At Cisco, she’s a ‘Greengineer’, where her tasks have included building the Energy Star Compliance Test Lab for ensuring energy efficiency of products. She is also a board member of the Foundation Board of Directors for the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York) and she brought on the first two hearing-impaired interns to Cisco. “For me, technology is the enabler for us to be our true selves.

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online. Welcome to the second wired Smart List. To discover who will shape our future, we asked the people who shape our present. Fifty of the world's brightest minds -- from Peter Gabriel to Jane Goodall -- tell us about one emerging talent whose ideas or influence they think will soon be part of our lives. 1. Bill Gates chairman, Microsoft, selects: Margarida Matsinhe -- field officer, VillageReach After a century of brutal colonial rule and decades of civil war, Mozambique in 1992 was a country in need of good news. That's when Margarida Matsinhe chose to dedicate her life's work to saving children's lives by restarting her country's immunisation programme. Her team at an organisation called VillageReach trains workers who make sure vaccines travel "the last mile" through remote areas with treacherous roads and little infrastructure, and end up at health centres where children can get them. Before the improved distribution system, nobody knew how many people lived in the communities and what the demand was for vaccines. Now, her team tracks demographic information. These figures are then used to forecast the number of vaccines needed in each health centre, ensuring that the correct ones arrive where and when they're needed. The alternative would be sending away children and pregnant mothers who walked up to 15 kilometres to get there.
