The document contains quotes from a conference on social media and marketing. It discusses how embracing social media is easier for new hires than existing employees, the importance of engaging people where they are active online rather than asking them to visit your site, and getting outside one's comfort zone to fully experience an event. The quotes provide advice on personalizing email marketing using automation, focusing on publishing content rather than just marketing, being what interests people rather than interrupting them, and having realistic expectations when building an online community.
The document discusses key concepts from an anthropology of design perspective, including pactum areas, archetypes, and metaphors as they relate to objects. Pactum areas refer to the functional groupings that define an object's performance. The primary pactum area is the minimum necessary for an object's main function, while secondary pactum areas can be stripped away. Archetypes and metaphors emerge from pactum areas and help explain how objects are understood. Designers work with archetypes, metaphors, and transformations of pactum areas.

India Gadget Expo: Emotion Trumps GadgetsLevi Shapiro
Emotions are more important than gadgets in driving technology adoption. While devices continue to proliferate, people are spending more time engaging with each other through apps and digital content than browsing online. Companies are recognizing the need to build ecosystems that facilitate engagement and commerce across multiple screens in a seamless manner. The future of technology will be about using hardware as a way to deliver digital experiences that resonate with people on an emotional level.

Watch the talk ➟ http://bit.ly/1NJGRcb
2008 was a historic year in many ways, perhaps the most prominent being the election of the first African American president. But 2008 also saw an unlikely hero emerge amongst the record setting presidential race... Nate Silver and his astonishingly accurate prediction of its results. More important than Nate's remarkable result however was the attention it drew to the potential of data and the importance of uncertainty (through bayesian statistics). And it was in that moment that our modern incarnation of data journalism was born (though ironically the field dates back to an attempt to predict the 1952 presidential election) with Nate's (now famous) 538 blog.
In this talk I will walk through the approach that made Nate so successful in 2008, test its efficacy in predicting the early 2016 primary results, and show how these (relatively) simple concepts can be applied in novel ways to tangential fields to great effect (for fun and profit) by estimating the time to failure for industrial machines in our connected world of the IoT.

Education in Emergency in Ghana: A Review of the Evidence of Protracted Displ...Jenkins Macedo
The document discusses education in emergency situations for Liberian refugees in Ghana. It provides context on the global refugee crisis and the protracted displacement of Liberians at Buduburam refugee settlement. Between 1991-2005, UNHCR established schools at Buduburam to provide free primary and secondary education. However, after terminating aid in 2005, education has shifted to focus on vocational skills training run by community-based organizations and NGOs. The Ghana Education Service, UNHCR implementing partners, and various non-profits now facilitate education for refugee children, but lack of funds prevents many from accessing school.
The document introduces Ann Handley as the Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs and a fan of Tina Fey. It then discusses the "Ignosaurus", a metaphorical beast representing ignorance, an unfocused stare, clinging to the status quo, and being impervious to change. It encourages slaying the Ignosaurus and becoming a "Knowledge-Pegasus" through continually learning and growing one's knowledge, such as by attending sessions at a MarketingProfs conference that may be scary but feed one's curiosity. The document emphasizes that investing in learning changes lives.

Basic Management Concepts., “Management is the art of getting things done thr...DilanThennakoon
The managers achieve organizational objectives by getting work from
others and not performing in the tasks themselves.
Management is an art and science of getting work done through people.
It is the process of giving direction and controlling the various activities
of the people to achieve the objectives of an organization Management is a universal process in all organized, social and economic activities. Wherever
there is human activity there is management.
Management is a vital aspect of the economic life of man, which is an organized group activity. A
central directing and controlling agency is indispensable for a business concern. The productive
resources –material, labour, capital etc. are entrusted to the organizing skill, administrative ability
and enterprising initiative of the management. Thus, management provides leadership to a
business enterprise. Without able managers and effective managerial leadership the resources of
production remain merely resources and never become production. Management occupies such an
important place in the modern world that the welfare of the people and the destiny of the country
are very much influenced by it.
1.2 MEANING OF MANAGEMENT
Management is a technique of extracting work from others in an integrated and co-ordinated
manner for realizing the specific objectives through productive use of material resources.
Mobilising the physical, human and financial resources and planning their utilization for business
operations in such a manner as to reach the defined goals can be benefited to as management.
1.3 DEFINITION OF MANAGEMENT
Management may be defined in many different ways. Many eminent authors on the subject have
defined the term "management". Some of these definitions are reproduced below:
In the words of George R Terry - "Management is a distinct process consisting of planning,
organising, actuating and controlling performed to determine and accomplish the objectives by the
use of people and resources".
According to James L Lundy - "Management is principally the task of planning, co¬ordinating,
motivating and controlling the efforts of others towards a specific objective",
In the words of Henry Fayol - "To manage is to forecast and to plan, to organise, to command, to
co-ordinate and to control".
According to Peter F Drucker - "Management is a multipurpose organ that manages a business and
manages managers and manages worker and work".

organisation in the accomplishment of a pre-determined object".

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.
