Image: fauxels/Pexels What I am about to tell you may come as something of a shock. I apologise if it does but I feel this is something that needs to be shared. Apparently, businesses often think they know what’s best for their workers but – and you may struggle to believe this – they’re not always right. That’s one of the findings to emerge from recent research conducted for Ricoh Europe which looked at the effectiveness, or otherwise, of technology being introduced to improve the employee experience. Conducted by Opinium and analysed by CEBR, the research polled 6,000 workers and 1,500 decision makers across seven countries in Europe (including Ireland). It revealed quite a disparity between employers and employees on the subject of how to improve the working experience. advertisement Nearly three-quarters of decision-makers (72%) claimed they designed employee workplace processes and systems with employee experience in mind, but only 58% of workers agreed that new technology had achieved that goal. In addition, more than a third of workers (36%) said that the new technology being rolled out across their organisation would not affect their work. According to Ricoh, the findings suggest “that many employers are failing to understand […]

Amazon’s cloud business, AWS, is showing signs of decelerating growth which has spooked investors. Despite short-term uncertainty resulting from industrywide challenges, the AWS segment seems well-positioned to grow through 2030. Amazon.com ( NASDAQ:AMZN ), the largest e-commerce company in the world, is also a leading player in the cloud computing market. The slowdown in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) segment in recent quarters has created negative investor sentiment toward the tech giant, but this presents a good opportunity for long-term-oriented investors to cash in. The company will take a hit from challenging macroeconomic conditions in the short run, but Amazon still has years of growth ahead. For this reason, I am bullish on Amazon. AWS Segment Outlook Although Amazon has built its reputation around the e-commerce business, AWS, its cloud business, is the most profitable business segment. For context, the North America segment and the International segment reported operating losses of $200 million and $2.2 billion, respectively, in Q4, while the AWS segment reported an operating profit of $5.2 billion. The AWS segment is still the smallest segment of the company from a revenue perspective despite contributing to the bulk of operating profits, which highlights the highly profitable nature […]

Susumu Tsubaki, CEO of AAIC Investment Japanese investment firm AAIC seeks to capitalise on the growing demand for medical services in Africa by backing healthcare startups. Japan’s healthcare system is widely recognised as one of the most advanced in the world, but this wasn’t always the case. In an effort to provide all citizens with sufficient healthcare and reduce the financial burden of medical expenses on individuals, the government introduced a universal health insurance scheme in 1961 . This system led to a significant expansion of the medical services sector, and today, Japan’s healthcare sector is respected for its accessibility and high level of quality . Susumu Tsubaki, CEO of AAIC Investment, expects that a trend directionally similar to Japan’s experience with the expansion of health insurance will occur in many African countries where insurance coverage is currently low but increasing. AAIC (short for Asia Africa Investment & Consulting), a Japanese company based in Singapore, manages two investment funds that back healthcare-related startups in Africa. Tsubaki believes that the growth of health insurance in the continent will be advantageous for AAIC’s portfolio companies. Health insurance coverage in Africa is among the lowest globally due to the cost and availability […]

Intersection of York Road and E Belvedere Avenue Commercial property owners voted to approve the York Corridor Business Improvement District (BID) , a community advocacy and improvement organization intended to provide services that ensure a clean, green, and vibrant corridor. Loyola University Maryland was one of the entities associated with the BID when it was first proposed and has long supported the proposal. “This vote is an important step forward for our community, and our community partners have worked hard to bring this to fruition,” said Terrence M. Sawyer, J.D., president of Loyola, who has been involved in working toward the BID during his 24-year career at the University. “Loyola is proud to work alongside our neighbors in investing in this part of our city that we call home.” Creating the BID was a key recommendation of the 2015 York Road Commercial Corridor Vision and Action Plan , which the York Road Initiative helped shape. “The creation of a York Road BID is a culmination of years of hard work from a broad coalition of community leaders,” said Gia Grier McGinnis, Dr.PH., executive director of the Center for Community, Service, and Justice and York Road Initiative. “For Loyola, a […]

A wide intellectual range of motion enables an entrepreneur to turn an idea into a revenue growth opportunity. Business plans are like mining for gold. Miners had to start with only an educated guess on an area, canvas a stream, then pan and sift endless piles of dirt. Prospecting is largely gone, but it’s a useful metaphor for how business leaders take a problem, solve it, refine it and continually revisit and adapt — even to the point of tearing down the essential points of their business. This ability is called "intellectual range of motion," and it’s one of a business leader’s most important tools — especially if you’re selling your expertise. Peloton, for example, continues to display this intellectual range of motion. While it had a few pain points — lower subscription growth, stock redemption issues and a wave of layoffs — Peloton shows a willingness to explore and change direction. Today, Peloton has 5 million customers and is worth $3 billion. However, despite significant brand equity, Peloton is substantially changing its business model. The company is muddying the waters of the service-based business vs. product business dynamic and rolling out a "Fitness as a Service" product where […]

Peanut butter and jelly is still top of mind for J.M. Smucker ( SJM ). CEO Mark Smucker called the sweet and savory duo the company’s "bread and butter," especially after Uncrustables and fruit spreads drove sales last quarter. Net sales for the U.S. consumer foods business saw a 9% jump to $434.2 million, driven by Smucker’s Uncrustables frozen sandwiches, up 38%, and Smucker’s fruit spreads, up 12%, in the company’s fiscal-third quarter results. Stay ahead of the market Now as it looks to make Uncrustables a $1 billion brand, it’s doubling down on the classic combo. "We are going to continue to push that, we just expanded our second facility in Colorado, which is producing more sandwiches, and then building a third plant in Alabama, that is really going to meet the demand that we’re seeing across the entire market," Smucker said. As the company looks to reach that billion-dollar valuation, it is expanding innovation under the brand. In September, it introduced Uncrustables Meat and Cheese Bites with two options, uncured ham and cheddar and turkey and colby jack. The following November, Smucker told Yahoo Finance the additions have "actually done very well," though called it a relatively […]
