Businesses and communities around the world are in various stages of reopening. As they do, changing how they work isn’t a consideration for tomorrow—it’s an imperative for today. Perhaps this isn’t a restart. It’s a rethink. A time to reimagine how business and society work. A time to reinforce the viability of our companies and the health of our workforces. A time to reconsider how we can solve today’s problems—and actually thrive in the years to come. At IBM, we believe that when people and technology work together, our world can emerge in a way that’s more resilient. Stronger.

  • BP's Reputation Repair Strategies During the Gulf Oil Spill
    Journal of Risk Analysis and Crisis Response, Vol. 5, No. 1 (April 2015), 2-15 BP’s Reputation Repair Strategies during the Gulf Oil Spill Kristen Alley Swain Meek School of Journalism and New Media, University of Mississippi, Box 1848, University, MS 38677, USA Lindsay A. Jordan Profiles Incorporated, 3000 Chestnut Avenue, Suite 201, Baltimore, MD 21211, USA E-mail: [email protected] Received 9 September 2014 Accepted 15 January 2015 Abstract On April 20, 2010, British Petroleum’s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, creating the largest oil spill in U.S. history. Analysis of 1,161 BP tweets during the crisis response reflected unexpected reputation repair strategies and responsibility attribution. Situational Crisis Communication Theory suggests that after an accident, PR messages typically reflect low responsibility attribution. Although the official investigation initially did not suggest a preventable crisis, 90% of BP’s tweets reflected high responsibility.

  • Judaism: a Supplemental Resource for Grade 12 World of Religions: A
    Change and Evolution Stages in the Development of Judaism: A Historical Perspective As the timeline chart presented earlier demonstrates, the development of the Jewish faith and tradition which occurred over thousands of years was affected by a number of developments and events that took place over that period. As with other faiths, the scriptures or oral historical records of the development of the religion may not be supported by the contemporary archaeological, historical, or scientific theories and available data or artifacts. The historical development of the Jewish religion and beliefs is subject to debate between archeologists, historians, and biblical scholars. Scholars have developed ideas and theories about the development of Jewish history and religion. The reason for this diversity of opinion and perspectives is rooted in the lack of historical materials, and the illusive nature, ambiguity, and ambivalence of the relevant data. Generally, there is limited information about Jewish history before the time of King David (1010–970 BCE) and almost no reliable biblical evidence regarding what religious beliefs and behaviour were before those reflected in the Torah. As the Torah was only finalized in the early Persian period (late 6th–5th centuries BCE), the evidence of the Torah is most relevant to early Second Temple Judaism. As well, the Judaism reflected in the Torah would seem to be generally similar to that later practiced by the Sadducees and Samaritans. By drawing on archeological information and the analysis of Jewish Scriptures, scholars have developed theories about the origins and development of Judaism. Over time, there have been many different views regarding the key periods of the development of Judaism.

Babur Bani Establishment of Sikh Panth Punjabi Language and Literature Conclusion Introduction Guru Nanak’s advent (1469-1539) is an epoch-making singular event in the recorded history. His unique, revolutionary and liberating philosophy of universal humanism –liberty, love, respect, justice and equality, is applicable for all. Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike have written abundantly about him, on his philosophy in Punjabi, English and some other languages. Regrettably, most if not all, is addressed in a superficial, superfluous and contradictory manner; so much so that some authors in the spirit of ignorance even exercised repudiation of Nanak’s precious thoughts which are enshrined in the Aad Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh Scripture), the only authentic source of the Nanakian philosophy ( Gurma t).
