Summary

Four political analysts explore the importance of local issues to global business and politics in this fully updated edition of The Kimchi Matters. 
 
Today’s focus on globalization has obscured the fact that political stability and economic growth are determined at the local level. Investors and foreign policymakers set themselves up for failure when they don’t consider the unique local dynamics of a particular country or region. This is equally true for companies venturing abroad and for politicians facing geopolitical challenges. 
 
In their 2003 book The Kimchi Matters, the authors demonstrated how globalization made it more important than ever to understand the political economies of distant countries. Now they have returned to that acclaimed work with updated accounts of situations around the world—including in Russia, India, China, Argentina, and Brazil—and refine the principles they laid out in the first edition.

Available since: 04/01/2011.

Sustainable Tech Solutions for Enterprise Scalability 
 
The modern economy runs on technology; it is the backbone of all major businesses. From firing packets of information between customers and websites to tracking customer demographics and purchase history–every bit of information that occurs online is captured through data. As businesses scale and transactions grow, the volume of data (and the number of servers required to store it) creates an increasingly complex environment that makes managing and monitoring the overall health of your organization’s technology stack a dizzying task for even the most well-informed IT professional. 
 
Fortunately for today’s CDOs, CTOs, CIOs, and even CFOs, the founder and CEO of Fortified, a leading database managed service provider, Ben DeBow has written End of Abundance in Tech: How IT Leaders Can Find Efficiencies to Drive Business Value. 
 
DeBow’s patent-pending approach allows IT executives to: 
Develop a technology environment that’s more efficientIncrease server resource productivityProvide better financial transparency into the technology costsOptimize system scalability, performance, and stabilityPotentially save millions that were previously tied up in inefficient technology practices 
 
To determine the health, efficiency, and capacity of their systems, leaders need solutions they can act on. Yet, many technology leaders lack real insights into the health of their technology environment at the organizational level. In a refreshing shakeup of the status quo, DeBow’s book equips IT executives with actionable solutions for managing and monitoring technology health so they can maximize the efficiency of the enterprise’s entire tech stack and deliver measurable value to the bottom line.
