One of the problems that I would like to address is that holding the politicians of my country accountable, exposing them, and making them admit what issues they create for society at large. The Indian regime is propagating hatred and disinformation and radicalising the youths here at an unprecedented level. They are coming up with laws and policies that...

If I am not wrong, then I suppose this is what his theory basically means. That when there’s a long term relationship investment between both parties in the business, then it simply leads to reciprocal return and this reciprocal return then leads to price negotiations, i.e. sometimes a customer can demand a price reduction from its service supplier and vice...

Another very insightful course by the uni of Reading. Loved it.

There are some reasons of water privatisation. Firstly, the public sector could not commit to maintain the water provision infrastructure due to lack of investment, leading to inefficiencies like leakage, billing, and payment issues.
Another cause is that the world bank demanded structural adjustments from the public sector. They required some reforms as a... -

Could anyone explain me when in case of renting out our apartment for five years for 10,000 euro per year and the total sum is paid at the end of each year, why is the present value of the amount 50,000 euro different when we are directly applying the present value formula instead of calculating it and adding separately?

Is it only me who thinks the professor gets too much abstract that it’s hard to get it? I mean, as I am a business student, I can get the gist of the professor’s lectures. But I am imagining if one’s quite new in this area of marketing, it won’t be possible for them to make sense of the professor’s talk. The course could have been much more realistic by...

Interesting how the Cadbury family started their brand and saw it as a medium to serve the society by offering to eliminate the societal ills prevailing at that time. And Quakerism played a huge influential role in their business. I think if we adopt the ideas of Quakerism the modern day societal and economics ills can be solved: after all it all boils to...

The mainstream media is indeed just great at brainwashing people. Instead of educating people about stereotypes that prevail against a minority group, the media simply chooses to incite hatred to gain TRP.

I agree with the video that how disinformation works. But we should also be really talking about holding the political regimes and news outlets accountable because more often than not they are the ones who resort to all kinds of nefarious moves to their advantages.

I’d say I’m almost overwhelmed everyday with disinformation in my life. Seems like disinformation and misinformation are the new norms: they are just a part of our everyday lives. I come from India.

There are many learners here from all around the world. They are mostly from Asian continent.
There are many reasons why one should take this online writing course. Firstly, to gain the essential skills to write well. Secondly, to critically analyse information and present it in a clear way. -

The quality of life has improved dramatically in India ever since it opened it economy to the world. Large number of MNCs got established, thus creating job opportunities.

Though the quality of life has improved to a certain extent, we still have a long way to go. India has managed to transform itself from a completely agriculture based economy to industrial based economy and is still advancing on this path. The quality of life has improved relatively. However, there are yet many challenges that obstruct the path of development...

At the heart of discrimination is certain prejudices formed against a specific person, group, or community.

Hi,

Poetry is more than ideas and messages. The way it communicates the reader with its inventive use of language is something to ponder upon.

One of the changes I’d say is the ruling regimes should completely subsidise electric cars, like Norway did. We also gotta step up and take the responsibility of planting more and more and not letting the corporates to exploit resources at the cost of environment. We also gotta hold the regimes accountable. For eg, in India, lately there has been a new draft...

My country India isn’t faring well. The utopian dream of achieving the sustainable development goals by 2030 doesn’t really seem to be realistic.

There are a ton of human rights abuses everyday....

I think social progress index is a quite good way of measuring social well being of a society.

I would like to know the degree of trust the mass in general puts in their leaders and politicians. So, maybe we can categorise the mass on the basis of their age, profession, and gender.

Lol, I’m not surprised by these techniques that biased media outlets incorporate to manipulate the mass in general: being as much vague as possible, taking things out of context, presenting their news with limited context or information and oversimplifying things and then publishing them all.

The problem with Samaritans’ app might have been that they didn’t consider the behaviours, needs, and desires of their target audience. Their product was designed without any human centred design approach.
And if they had put their target audience at the heart of their product, they would have avoided this problem. -

This is indeed an interpersonal misbehaviour as the group head is trying to criticise his employees with his holier than thou attitude and yet he never attends the meeting . Moreover, there’s lack of rationale for conducting this meeting. So, this all doesn’t make sense at all. Just a waste of time leading to employees being frustrated.
-
Sarosh Ansari made a comment
In my opinion, it was the best thing to do because we can’t kill people just for the sake of a organisation. It might be termed as “misbehaviour” from the organisation’s perspective, but such issues are really something to be concerned for. No corporation should put a society in danger.
