Fenomena Perubahan Strategi Pemasaran dalam Menghadapi Tantangan di Era Digital

Marketing strategy changes need to be made to face challenges in the digital era. The main factor influencing the change in marketing strategy is the change in consumer behaviour. Organisations must change the way they understand consumer preferences and desires because consumers today have greater access to information through the internet and social media. The purpose of this research is to analyse what are the phenomena of marketing strategy changes in facing challenges in the digital era. This research method is a literature study. The result of this study is that marketing strategies must be innovative and creative due to shifts in consumer behaviour, industry issues, and the pace of technological progress. In the digital era, managing change is crucial to overcoming challenges and capitalising on opportunities. In addition, the government encourages business owners to use technology to help their management procedures. Companies can succeed in today's highly competitive digital market by using creative and data-driven marketing methods. Organisations are expected to effectively manage change, adopt new technologies, and take advantage of new possibilities. Future business success depends not only on mastering technology, but also on the ability to innovate, adapt, and have a thorough understanding of market dynamics.

Development of children’s technical creativity through the implementation of a 3D modeling program in the supplementary education system

The problem of developing childrens technical creativity is not something entirely novel in pedagogical science. The theoretical foundations of childrens technical creativity were laid in research at the beginning of the last century. However, the changing conditions of modern life, where the pace of technological progress is reaching unprecedented levels, and the question of early involvement of future specialists in the interaction with new technologies becomes particularly important, make research on the involvement of children and adolescents in technical creativity relevant. Of particular interest is the activity of extracurricular educational organizations, which are entering a new stage of their development, actively implementing modern teaching and educational technologies, and expanding the number of educational programs in the field of technical creativity. In this regard, the study of issues related to the activities of educational organizations that actively utilize their potential for developing childrens and adolescents abilities in technical creativity becomes a relevant topic of research. The experience of such activities, carried out based on the licensed commercial organization Andromeda, is presented in the materials of this article. It provides the results of an experimental study, which is based on the formation of 3D modeling skills in children and adolescents.

Sculpting Nostalgia: Daniel Arsham, Alicja Kwade, and Kathleen Ryan

This article examines how the pace of technological progress has continued to accelerate the pace at which nostalgia is conjured and commodified. It undertakes a comparative study of sculptures by three contemporary artists, Daniel Arsham (USA, b. 1980), Alicja Kwade (Poland-Germany, b. 1979), and Kathleen Ryan (USA, b. 1984). While these three artists create and theorize in discretely different modes, their intermedial strategies are thematically linked in their shared leveraging of archaeological praxis and geological materiality vis-à-vis the temporal structure of nostalgia. Their sculptures are important case studies to unpack how nostalgia is culturally mobilized in this specific moment of technological acceleration and the resulting ecological perils of this progress.

Developments of the Graduates' Competences for Modern Labor Market

In the context of the penetration of digital technologies into various areas of socioeconomic activity, it is necessary to orient the education system towards a qualitative update of the goals and objectives of the educational process, the modernization of educational technologies, to the benefit of developing creative and social capital for future specialists. The authors investigate the program of providing the Russian labor market with demanding specialists with the necessary relevant knowledge, skills and capabilities. Furthermore the conditions for systematic improvement of the quality and possibility of continuing education of all categories of citizens due to the development of an open and accessible electronic educational environment are determined. Modern technologies, networking, scientific potential and experience of educational organizations, the best practices of online learning, existing online platforms and business projects become tools of such transformation. To achieve the goal of the study we chose the path of systemic interaction between universities, organizations of additional professional education and employers. It’s necessary to identify main tasks facing each part in the process of forming the dynamics of improving the quality of educational processes. The objectives of the university will be the development of common competencies to ensure adaptation to the labor market in the context of society and the economy digitalization. The survey has shown that such qualities are formed by the structure of the educational process of the university and its corporate culture. The task of additional professional education organizations is to provide a target substantive professional orientation in order to prepare and develop practical skills. With modern qualified personnel, companies will be able to provide the specified pace of technological progress and competitive advantages, and to solve complex modernization tasks. Thus, the result that must be achieved in the process of educational activity is the training of a highly professional specialist, in demand on the labor market, with creative and social capital, able to approach professional activities from the perspective of a researcher and initiator, aimed at self-development and self-realization.

INTEGRATION AND USE OF CONTEMPORARY TECHNOLOGIES IN STEM EDUCATION

Based on the historical development of industry and society, as well as education, we can conclude that in the future we will see continuous progress and development. Accordingly, education should follow, because only in this way will people be able to live a quality life in the future. Given all the progress so far, the question arises what awaits us in the coming years or decades. This article focuses on the question of whether the society is ready for the changes that await, and whether contemporary devices (3D printers, laser cutting machines, etc.) and processing procedures are already included in education, especially in the field of STEM. In order to explore these issues, a short survey was carried out on a sample of 77 STEM teachers in Slovenia. Results show that Slovenian schools are not yet well enough prepared for contemporary technologies, and that these are not included in the lessons for various reasons. Therefore, a strategy (at different levels) should be developed and introduce certain changes, so that education can keep up with the pace of technological progress. Keywords: contemporary technologies, STEM education, technological development, changes in education.

Knowledge Of Students Of Senior Highs School 2 Bulukumba About Free Sex

Research to find out students about sexual behavior at SMA Negeri 2 Bulukumba this research is a quantitative research. The research subjects were 70 students at SMAN 2 Bulukumba who were taken by total sampling. Data collection using cakeisitioner. The results showed that the level of students about free sex behavior was at a good level.

Global carbon inequality

Global climate change and inequality are inescapably linked both in terms of who contributes climate change and who suffers the consequences. This fact is also partly reflected in two United Nations (UN) processes: on the one hand, the Paris Agreement of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change under which countries agreed to hold the increase in the global average temperature to below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and, on the other hand, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals aiming to end poverty. These agreements are seen as important foundation to put the world nations on a sustainable pathway. However, how these agreements can be achieved or whether they are even mutually compatible is less clear. We explore the global carbon inequality between and within countries and the carbon implications of poverty alleviation by combining detailed consumer expenditure surveys for different income categories for a wide range of countries with an environmentally extended multi-regional input–output approach to estimate carbon footprints of different household groups, globally, and assess the carbon implications of moving the poorest people out of poverty. Given the current context, increasing income leads to increasing carbon footprints and makes global targets for mitigating greenhouse gases more difficult to achieve given the pace of technological progress and current levels of fossil fuel dependence. We conclude that the huge level of carbon inequality requires a critical discussion of undifferentiated income growth. Current carbon-intensive lifestyles and consumption patterns need to enter the climate discourse to a larger extent.

Creativity for Invention Insights: Corporate Strategies and Opportunities for Public Entrepreneurship

This paper introduces and describes the invention-insight sample space and uses it to describe the creative process of discovering invention insights — the essential combinations of elements of knowledge to envision the basic working configurations of inventions, the working ideas for new technologies. Evidence about invention insights and about corporate strategies to promote them is viewed in the context of the paper’s description of the invention-insight discovery process. Then that description is used (1) to identify a novel new opportunity — initiation of policies to stimulate invention insights that directly combine unusually large numbers of knowledge elements — for public sector entrepreneurship to speed the pace of technological progress and the opening up of altogether new areas of science and technology, and (2) to delimit the appropriate form of policy — promotion of competition and the free exchange of ideas — to exploit the opportunity. With sufficient uncertainty in the search for insights, pre-invention-insight ideas in themselves should ideally be freed from the restrictions of intellectual property.

COGNITIVE PROBLEMS OF DESIGNING BASED ON COMPUTER MODELS: TECHNICAL AND SOCIO-HUMANITARIAN ASPECTS

Cognitive problems resulting from the implementation of the designing of complex systems based on computer models are considered, including cognitive barrier and aberration of cognitive process. The reasons of these problems are both technical and socio-humanitarian. In neoliberalist capitalism the importance of the financial sector has increased. Turnover of generations of technical equipment is caused by economic rather than technical science problems or human needs. Innovative economy generates discourse of human changes to create a consumer, commensurate with the pace of technological progress. Economies-driven pace of technical change corresponds neither to human-dimension nor the tempo of a happy life. Dynamizing of basis leads to a dynamizing of moral sphere leads to transitory ethics. The latency of cognitive problems of design is a consequence of the need to get an innovative product in a strict time frame. In the context of the rule of technicism in science and the inevitable adoption of the results of design activity to the life, design activity must be accompanied by a philosophical reflection.

NATIONAL ISSUES IN V. G. KOROLENKO’S ESSAYS

The article is devoted to the analysis of various documentary and journalistic works by V. G. Korolenko on the theme of the U.S. The material consists of both published and unpublished works during the lifetime of the writer (travel notes, articles, correspondence, etc.). The analysis allows us to see in the works of Korolenko not just ethnographic travel essays but profound reflections on the two images of the world, Russian and American, that include the assessment of the pace of technological progress, ideals of freedom, respect for the individual, attitude toward pragmatism, and individualism. The theme of national awareness on the background of European and American realities is considered to be essential in the work of Korolenko.

The Economics of Patent Backlog

Patent offices around the world face massive backlogs of applications, which threatens to slow down the pace of technological progress. However, economists lack analytical tools to tackle the issue. This paper provides a model of patent backlogs inspired by the literature on traffic congestion. Inventors are heterogeneous with respect to their desired duration of patent pendency. They can accelerate or slow down the duration of pendency by adapting their filing strategy. We use our model to discuss three policy responses: increasing examination capacity; introducing penalty fees; and altering the value of pending applications.

Chemistry in Israel-at a Crossroads?

Such achievements are the fruits of the inspired and incisive leadership that served as the foundation of the academic world in my country—the manifestations of an early vision that has led to what we have come to know as modern Israel. David Ben-Gurion, undoubtedly one indefatigable agent of progress, as well as the country s inaugural Prime Minister, wrote two years after the creation of the State: “We are a small and poor nation, and our country has suffered neglect and devastation. This imposes a severe austerity upon us, a condition, which may last a long time. Strangely enough, these very facts forbid us austerity in two areas, in science and technology...Only if we were able to use the attainments of scientific and technological developments—can we succeed”.

Bridging the technology gap with limited human capital resources

We study whether restrictions concerning the mode of implantation of multinational firms (MNCs) are desirable for a developing country in terms of its technology acquisition strategy. More precisely, we aim at determining under which conditions domestic equity ownership constraints imposed on MNCs turn out to be beneficial for a country aiming at narrowing its technology gap with the world frontier while facing a limited supply of skilled labor resources. We base ourselves on an extension of the “variety model” of technology-driven growth, and are able to demonstrate that the desirable regulation depends non-monotonically on the overall available amount of skilled human capital. We further find that a positive shock on the pace of technological progress at the world frontier increases the scope of conditions under which ownership constraints become desirable.

Techbits: Mumbai Workshop Explores Deepwater Strategies

Techbits Recognizing the growing potential of deepwater developments off the coast of India, SPE hosted its second deepwater-focused applied technology workshop (ATW) in Mumbai in less than 2 years. The ATW, “Unlocking Deepwater Potential: Strategies and Technologies,” brought together 131 delegates from 11 countries and 40 companies to share information and help Indian companies assimilate the knowledge they will need to monetize India’s deepwater assets. Sudhir Vasudeva, director (Offshore)-ONGC and ATW Steering Committee chair, opened the ATW with an address describing India’s deepwater potential. The country’s deepwater regions hold approximately 51 billion bbl of oil and gas equivalent in a sedimentary area spanning 1.35 million km2. Thus far 31 hydrocarbon discoveries have been made—26 gas discoveries and the remaining 5 oil and gas discoveries. The discoveries are spread over Mahanadi, Krishna-Godavari, and Cauvery basins off the east coast of India, which is poised to be a gas hub of Asia. Vasudeva projected that given India’s gross-domestic-product growth rate of 8–9%, hydrocarbon requirements will increase from the current level of 125 million tonnes of oil equivalent (toe) to 435 million toe in the next 25 years. Global energy consumption is expected to grow by 50% over the same period, putting the onus on the oil and gas industry to find more reserves and curb production declines in existing assets. After 2012, deep water is the only sector which is expected to grow continuously to meet burgeoning global demand. R.S. Sharma of ONGC next stressed that because 43% of India’s sedimentary basins lie in deep and ultradeep water, the E&P industry has ample exploration opportunities here. However, he acknowledged that the pace of technological progress is sometimes too rapid for operators, who need to have a great deal of confidence and assurance in technologies prior to bidding for deepwater blocks. He stated that critical areas for study going forward include drilling and completions; subsea facilities; and health, safety, and environmental factors. Pushing Boundaries The first technical session provided case histories highlighting two recent deepwater developments from different parts of the world. K.V.K. Prasad of Shell Technology India first presented the development strategy for Shell’s Perdido oil field in the US Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Operational and subsurface challenges included extreme water depth (8,000 ft at the platform), extreme metocean conditions, rugged sea floor, flow assurance, a high-risk reservoir (the first Paleogene production in the GOM), low pressure, and high gas-to-oil ratio.

Introduction to Paper by R. G. Jost, M.D., et al, ?PACS Experience as a Motivation for a Campus-wide Picture Network?

IT IS INTERESTING and somewhat nostalgic for me to re-read this paper, written over 15 years ago, which captured our view of the future of picture archiving and communications systems (PACS). Many of our assumptions were pretty much on target. The campus-wide picture network described here assumed what was then a rather heretical notion that centralized computing would give way to distributed systems, that computer terminals would routinely be replaced by workstations, and that picture transmission would become commonplace in the educational and business worlds. Those assumptions turned out to be right. In some areas we were not quite so prescient. Recognizing the limitations of Ethernet, we felt that broadband cable television (CATV) systems might provide a suitable alternative in the near term for medical image transmission. It was to be many years, however, before the routine transmission of digital images was to be realized using CATV networks. The scale of the problem was perceived to be different then. Note that the average number of images per magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study in 1985 was 24, with just over 2,000 MRI exams performed per year. Also, at that time a 1024 × 1024 image display system was an expensive commodity and efforts were made to “time share” the system among several users. Many of us assumed that PACS developments would initially progress far more rapidly than they did, but I’m not sure that any of us envisioned the remarkable pace of technological progress that has led to the ubiquity of digital image transmission in our society. Certainly all of us working in this field in the 1980s believed that PACS would one day dramatically change the way that radiology is practiced. In that, we were 100% correct.

Structural Policies and Growth: A Non-Technical Overview

In contrast to what has happened throughout the 1960s and 1970s, some of the largest EU countries and Japan are no longer closing the income gap vis-a-vis the United States. Worse, the gap may even be widening since the mid-1990s. While in the case of Japan the gap in GDP per capita is essentially due to the lagging performance in labour productivity, the European Union is trailing mainly in terms of labour resource utilisation, reflecting both lower employment rates and fewer hours worked. This paper provides a brief overview of the main structural factors thought to have contributed to differences in the degree of labour resource utilisation, as well as in the intensity of physical and human capital use and in the pace of technological progress. In doing so, it provides a set of performance and policy indicators which can be used to assess progress achieved in structural reform ... Politiques structurelles et croissance : Une vue d'ensemble non-technique Contrairement a la tendance observee durant les annees 60 et 70, certains des principaux pays de l’union europeenne et le Japon ne referment plus l’ecart qui les separe des Etats-Unis en termes de revenu par habitant. Cet ecart est peut-etre meme en train de se creuser davantage depuis le milieu des annees 90. Alors qu’au Japon l’ecart de PIB par habitant vis-a-vis des Etats-Unis est du essentiellement au retard de la productivite, dans le cas de l’union europeenne il s’explique largement par une plus faible utilisation des ressources de main d’œuvre, refletant a la fois des taux d’emploi moins eleve et un nombre inferieur d’heures ouvrees. Cette etude donne une vue d’ensemble des liens entre les politiques structurelles et la performance des marches du travail et des produits. Ce faisant, elle fournit un certain nombre d’indicateurs de performance et de politique qui peuvent etres utilises pour evaluer le progres realise sur le plan des reformes structurelles ...

MAKING CONSTRUCTIONISM WORK IN THE CLASSROOM

From its inception, the idea of constructionism (Papert, 1993b) has been intertwined with the expressive power of computing technology. The introduction of LOGO made it possible for children to create computational structures that have conceptual depth and are capable of complex behaviors that can capture children’s interest and imagination (Papert, 1980; Papert, 1993a). The pace of technological progress has since accelerated, enabling the creation of new expressive media, such as Boxer, StarLogo and StarLogoT, KidSim/Cocoa, NetLogo, Swarm, and ToonTalk (diSessa, 1991; Resnick, 1997; Wilensky, 2000; Smith, Cypher and Spohrer, 1994; Wilensky, 2001; Langton and Burkhardt, 1997; Kahn, 1996), which offer a wide range of computational behaviors, striking visual effects, and highly visual representations of programs themselves. One continuing theme in the development of constructionism is the relationship between constructionist activities and the mainstream classroom. In the very beginning, the lack of computing equipment limited the use of LOGO to special situations. Today, computers capable of running interesting construction environments are widely available, though not yet truly ubiquitous. The factors that now limit children’s access to these environments in school are largely curricular: how do constructionist activities fit into the progression of learning activities that teachers organize for their students? Over the past few years, we have conducted field research in which students ranging in age from fourth grade to high school have participated in constructionist activities integrated with more traditional classwork. These activities have been supported by a visual programming environment called AgentSheets (Repenning, 1993). In our studies, we have tried to relate the potential benefits of constructionist work to the agendas of classroom teachers and have attempted to create constructionist activities that support these agendas. In this paper, we describe these efforts as case studies and draw lessons from our classroom experiences.

The information management and technology strategy of the UK National Health Service – Determining progress in the NHS acute hospital sector

The publication of the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) Information for Health Strategy heralded a new strategic focus for the provision of information systems (IS) support across the NHS. Key changes concerned the placement of much greater emphasis on clinical information needs by route of the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) and the Electronic Health Record (EHR). The last decade has seen unprecedented changes within the NHS due to government policies, political ideology, health‐care reform and pace of technological progress. This paper argues that this rate and scale of change has outstripped the ability of health‐care organisations to respond effectively in order to implement the key goals set by strategic policy makers. An historical review is combined with an analysis of recent empirical survey data to determine the evolution and progress of the NHS IM&T strategy over a period of ten years. The review and analysis is enabled by adopting techniques and theory derived from research within the field of Information Systems, whereby Information Systems maturity models are used as an heuristic to measure levels of sophistication of IT adoption and use. These models demonstrate that NHS hospitals are fairly immature in terms of the adoption and usage of information systems and technology; struggling to provide adequate foundations for systems integration (data, work and culture). Conclusions reflect on the current progress and ambition of the strategy and comment on its potential outcome given existing NHS knowledge of IT, skills, capability and infrastructure.
