"Alertada pela quebra do volume de negócios, de 15 milhões de euros para 13 milhões de euros, entre 2012 e 2013, a Dielmar reforçou a aposta internacional, consciente de que o principal motor teria de estar nas exportações, onde garante, atualmente, 60% das vendas. Para cumprir esta aposta estratégica, a empresa, especializada na produção de fatos de homem, investiu em novos mercados e em contactos com potenciais parceiros. "Precisamos de soluções facilitadoras para a internacionalização, já que os investimentos são muito elevados e a atual conjuntura continua pouco propícia a ajudas financeiras", sublinha Ana Paula Rafael.

"Companies need to throw out the notion that they can control the customer experience, Kolsky states. Customers create their own experiences. They do not wait for companies to tell them how to do it; they push companies to enable them to do what they want. Companies must transform their businesses and get out of the way so customers can create their own experiences; this is the true definition of customer experience. It is about building the infrastructure that allows customers to do whatever they want to do, through whatever channel they choose to do it."
"Worry about skin in the game, not inequality. Worry about equality in opportunity not outcome. Worry about the powerful corporations taking over the system via lobbyists and blocking artisans.

"First the French Revolutionary Armies and then Napoleon invaded large parts of continental Europe, and in almost all the areas they invaded, the existing institutions were remnants of medievalEu, que nunca suportei Napoleão, sinto que nunca mais o vou encarar da mesma maneira.
times, empowering kings, princes, and nobility and restricting trade both in cities and the countryside. Serfdom and feudalism were much more important in many of these areas than in France itself.
...
The guilds regulating all kinds of economic activity in the cities were also typically stronger in these places than in France.
...
The leaders of the French Revolution and, subsequently, Napoleon exported the revolution to these lands, destroying absolutism, ending feudal land relations, abolishing guilds, and imposing equality before the law—the all-important notion of rule of law, ... The French Revolution thus prepared not only France but much of the rest of Europe for inclusive institutions and the economic growth that these would spur.
...
The French revolutionary armies quickly started carrying out a radical process of reform in the lands they’d conquered, abolishing the remaining vestiges of serfdom and feudal land relations and imposing equality before the law. The clergy were stripped of their special status and power, and the guilds in urban areas were stamped out or at the very least much weakened.
...
he codified the Roman law and the ideas of equality before the law into a legal system that became known as the Code Napoleon. Napoleon saw this code as his greatest legacy and wished to impose it in every territory he controlled.
...
All in all, French armies wrought much suffering in Europe, but they also radically changed the lay of the land. In much of Europe, gone were feudal relations; the power of the guilds; the absolutist control of monarchs and princes; the grip of the clergy on economic, social, and political power; and the foundation of ancien régime, which treated different people unequally based on their birth status. These changes created the type of inclusive economic institutions that would then allow industrialization to take root in these places."

"Companies that invest heavily in R&D are often torn between emerging technologies, wondering which will win in the market and is therefore the one to develop.
...
Conventional wisdom suggests that they pay dearly for getting it wrong. But my research shows that betting on a losing technology and then switching to the winner can position a company to come out ahead of competitors that were on the right track all along.
...
I believe that switching to a new technology often forces companies to rapidly ascend a steep learning curve, [Moi ici: E o sentimento de estarem numa burning platform acelera-lhes os ritmos] and they can then use their knowledge to beat competitors whose learning proceeded more slowly."
"Acredito que isso tudo já aconteceu e, agora, sem intervenção de engenheiros sociais, num movimento genuíno bottom-up já estão a ser criados os circuitos da geração seguinte, combinando produções nacionais, com autenticidade, agricultura biológica e internet.

"The battle over new rules for unmanned aircraft in the U.S. is pitting the drone industry's two starkly different cultures against each other: high-tech entrepreneurs versus big aerospace and defense companies.E no caso da sua PME, sabe quem são os seus clientes-alvo?
...
The two groups tend to have different sensibilities and different target customers, even meeting at different conferences. They've coexisted amicably, with the big firms serving the military and the smaller players serving hobbyists. But now their relationship has soured over efforts to influence long-delayed drone regulations and their increasing convergence in the market as demand for drones takes off."
