θεωρίες Συνωμοσίας

Ηρθαν οι γιορτές και η υποκρισία για άλλη μια φορά χτυπάει κόκκινο. αρχίσαν όλοι να μας βομβαρδίζουν με διαφημιστικά για τους άπορους, για τα παιδάκια που πινάνε στην Αφρική, για τα ξεχασμένα παιδιά στα Ιδρύματα. Όλα αυτά αποτέλεσαν αφορμή να συλλογιστώ τη τρελή υποκρισία που υπάρχει σε αυτόν τον πλανήτη και την κακή νοοτροπία όπως και τα στερεότυπα που μας περνάνε.
Πως έχουν καταφέρει να φθάνουν οι γιορτές και ξαφνικά όλοι να σκέφτονται τα καημένα τα παιδάκια που υποφέρουν από την πείνα και τις αρρώστιες. θα με τρελάνουν αυτοί Είναι σχεδόν αστείο και τραγικό αυτό που μας συμβαίνει. Πως έχουμε μεγαλώσει έτσι; Απρόσωποι στρατιώτες κάποιων που εχτίσαν ένα κόσμο προσαρμοσμένο σε αυτούς. Μιλαω για τη τάξη των ανθρώπων που λόγω θέσης και εξουσίας μπορούν να αποφασίζουν για τις ζωές των άλλων. Ας μη γελιόμαστε πλέον. Η Αφρικάνικη ήπειρος δε σκοτώνει τον κόσμο της λόγω συνθηκών. Η διαβίωση εκεί είναι δύσκολη επειδη κάποιοι το αποφάσισαν. Αποφάσισαν να θεωρήσουν τους ανθρώπους αναλώσιμους και να εκμεταλλευτούν μια απο τις πλουσιότερες ηπείρους στο κόσμο, να μη πω την πλουσιότερη. Η πείνα, ο θάνατος και η δυστυχίά έρχεται απο τις πολυεθνικές που αρέσκονται στο να εκμεταλλεύονται τους πόρους της πλούσιας αυτής ηπείρου. Αλλά δεν θα μπορούσαν να μην ανταμείψουν τους ανθρώπους αυτούς με τις πλουσιοπάροχες δωρεές τους και τις εκδηλώσεις που γίνονται κυρίως στις γιορτές στο όνομα της φιλανθρωπίας. ο κόσμος τρώει το παραμυθάκι, και όλοι μαζί νιώθουμε καλύτερα οταν έχουμε έναν επιτυχημένο μαραθώνιο. όλοι μαζι συζητάμε πως το ποσό που μαζεύτηκε είναι μεγάλο και τα παιδάκια θα έχουν γάλα και εμβόλια για τουλάχιστον 1-2 μήνες. είναι πραγματικά πολύ έξυπνο το σύστημα που έχει στηθεί για την αισχροκέρδεια. Οι γιορτές λοιπόν είναι μια επίκληση στο ανθρώπινο συναίσθημα να βοηθήσουν αυτούς που δε ξέρουν αν θα ζήσουν άλλη μια μέρα για να δουν το φως του ήλιου. Και δώσ' του οι γιορτές και δώσ' του οι μαραθώνιοι και δώς του οι διαφημίσεις και δώσ του κόντρα γκαλά για να βραβέυσουν τους επιφανείς ανθρώπους με τις μεγαλύτερες δωρεές και δώς του τα άρθρα και οι συγχαρητήριες επιστολές και δώς του τα μεσημεριανά με τις αναφορές στη προσφορά του ενός και του άλλου. Και όλοι εμείς να παρακολουθούμε και να λέμε πως όλα είναι λίγο καλύτερα. έτσι μας έμαθε αυτός ο κόσμος. Οι γονείς μας, οι δάσκαλοί μας, τα ΜΜΕ. Οι γιορτές ικανοποίησσαν τη δική μας δίψα για φιλανθρωπία όπως και τη δίψα των πλούσιων και δυνατών ανθρώπων να το παίξουν και πάλι για λίγο θεοί. Ένας ολόκληρος κόσμος κομμένος και ραμμένος για να ικανοποιούνται τα βίτσια των ανθρώπων. Ίσως όλα αυτά μπορεί να είναι της φαντασίας μου. Ίσως να είμαι υπερβολικός όταν ισχυρίζομαι πως η Αφρικάνικη ήπειρος μπορεί να ζήσει χωρίς τους μικρούς Θεούς της φιλανθρωπίας. Αρκεί να δώσουμε μια μικρή ώθηση και να αφήσουμε την "μαύρη ήπειρο" να αναπτυξει τις δυνατότητες της. αυτό που χρειάζεται είναι να καταγγείλουμε αυτούς που στο βωμό του χρήματος, είναι ικανοί να βάψουν με αίμα τα χέρια τους, να αφήσουν τον τρίτο κοσμο(άκου τι λέω- τρίτος κόσμος.. ) σε μια σκόπιμη στασιμότητα... Ασ ξυπνήσουμε επιτέλους και ας βοηθήσουμε πιο ουσιαστικά. Οι γιορτές δε φθάνουν.. οι μικροί "θεοί" πρέπει να εκλείψουν..

Competitive Intelligence (CI)

05/11/2009


Business Intelligence Doesn’t Mean Spying on the Competition

Competitive Intelligence (CI) only employs public information sources to build the foundations of business strategy

by Antonello Garzoni, Director of the Master in Entrepreneurship and Business Strategy, Università Bocconi


published at the Bocconi online newsmagazine

Following the example of North America and other Western economies, large and medium-sized firms in Italy are starting to establish offices of Competitive Intelligence (CI). According to a recent study, almost 30% of companies employing over 1,000 employees have teams devoted to analyzing the competition.

What do these people do? Are they business spooks or specialized professionals? Although many of its techniques of analysis were refined in the context of the Cold War, business intelligence exclusively relies on public sources. The Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals, the biggest association in the field, has long given itself a strong ethical code to prevent industrial espionage and/or illicit ways of procuring information. To the contrary, CI is about making the most of all possible information sources (data banks, Internet, personal contacts, information from clients etc.) to construct working hypotheses on competitors and their potential competitive moves. CI is about a systematic process of information gathering, analysis and dissemination on competitors and the competitive environment.

CI not only monitors current business performance (market share, balance-sheets, launch of new products) but interprets the strategic trajectory of the competition. When the competitor’s product is already on the market, it means you got there too late, so you need to guess prospective moves. In order to identify the fucure actions of competitors, you need to look at investment processes, such as the building of a new plant, the hiring of specialized personnel, the registration of a new brand or a new patent. Or it could be an acquisition of a company operating in another industry, signaling diversification and entry into a new sector. Alternatively, CI looks at business alliances and joint-ventures, in order to uncover the desire of building networks and bridgeheads for future expansion. A systematic and well-conducted analysis of the competition enables companies to remain up-to-date on industry trends and stay on profitable growth paths.

CI forces CEOs to base their decisions on more objective evaluations. For instance, if we find out that a competitor, a textile multinational, has closed a plant and laid off many employees in Germany, this could lead us to infer an imminent crisis is looming. But if the competitor has made an agreement with an Asian giant, this could just be a prelude to corporate reorganization. As Jim Williams, a well-known CI consultant, says: “Good intelligence with bad strategy produces mediocre results. Bad intelligence with good strategy can be catastrophic.” These explains why major corporations are internalizing business intelligence, in order to integrate it with strategic planning.
