• Chip And PIN Cards Finally Coming To U.S. – The Business Insider

Just because you don’t understand something personally, doesn’t mean it is a fad. It’s interesting though, whenever a major disruptor like social media, the internet, etc has come along, inevitably there are many traditional managers and practitioners who don’t understand it and label it as a ‘fad’. Just because we don’t understand what the fuss is about doesn’t mean our customers won’t use it, and if they’re talking about us we better be listening. That’s the realization that the industry is going through right now, that is – social media isn’t a fad, it isn’t going away, we need to deal with it.

The knee jerk reaction for most banks when social media came along was two fold; The first was to try to figure out how to dump traditional advertising and PR campaigns down the pipe. So the first trick with social media and how it’s going to effect the business is learning about how it works. The second was to shut down any access internally within the organization because it was risky for employees to talk directly to the public, and also because it was feared there would be wholesale time wastage from staff playing farmville and other sorts of unproductive, non-work related tasks.

Additionally, the reality was that employees were simply pushed away from the desktop internally to their mobile device and the risks that employers were hoping to prevent by shutting off access weren’t prevented they were simply pushed outside of a controlled environment. Primarily, the organization was prevented from learning about the real capability of social media, and this hampered the brand from creating advocacy and engaging customers. The problem with this mind-set is that is was fundamentally wrong.

The marketing-led thinking about attempts to control or spin the brand message out through social media characterized as just another broadcast channel, are also fundamentally flawed. Thus, the traditional marketing metrics don’t apply either. Social media is more akin to a dialog with your broader customer audience, not a channel for slamming more corporate comms or campaigns down customer’s throats.

It’s a dramatic opportunity to listen to what your customers are saying and form useful strategies for advocacy, to inform product and marketing strategies based on real-time feedback from customers and it is increasingly a very powerful servicing tool. While there has been some viral marketing success on social media, if it social media is classified as a marketing tool or channel within your organization it means two things:.

One of the biggest challenges is figuring out who is going to manage social media internally in the business today. Often this falls to some junior marketing staffer, maybe someone in the online team or perhaps a corporate communications or PR team member. All of these decisions would be wrong.

Social media can be used to build brand and advocacy, support and service customers, research new strategies, design new products, create new markets, and to educate and inform. So if you limit it to being pigeonholed into the current organization structure, somewhere along the line your social media strategy is going to be deficient. This is going to require a whole kaleidoscope of supporting skills sets and capabilities underneath to do this properly.

Why? If a customer likeAnn Minch, David Carroll decides to target your brand because of poor service, bad policy or just plain ignorance, your share price is going to start to take a hit. Do you have a head of call centre? Where does he sit in the organization chart? Well the head of social media should be at least equivalent in the organization chart to this resource.

This is not a junior role. You need someone in charge with common sense, but also with the organizational wherewithal to actually get something done. The biggest risk FIs face today is reputational risk associated with a social media blowout. That is the potential of social media that is so underutilized today. You need a policy that encourages participation across the organization, but that provides strong guidelines, supported by training, on how to engage customers and how to support the brand through social media. But most of all you need a mechanism to take what you hear from your social media listening post and inform strategy, change policy and improve customer experience.

Hutton check-kiting scheme to the Bank of Boston money-laundering scandal, you glimpse something loathsome scuttling away out of the corner of your eye. Almost everywhere you look in the business world today, from the E.F. WHAT IS THIS — the business news or the crime report? Turn over one stone and out crawls Ivan Boesky’s tipster, investment banker Dennis Levine, dirt clinging to his $12.6-million insider-trading profits. Turn over another and there’s a wriggling tangle of the same slimy creatures, from minute grubs like the Yuppie Gang to plump granddads like jailed former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Thayer. A shovel plunged into the ground above General Electric (GE) recently disclosed a bustling colony industriously faking time sheets to overcharge the government on defense contracts.

And with investment banking now largely manned by the young, is the erosion of ethics here an early warning of imminent trouble elsewhere in business as this generation rises to power?. No place have standards dropped more vertiginously than in the investment banking trade that is presiding over this restructuring. While other areas of business are in most respects no more unethical than ever, wrongdoing in this central arena makes a crisis of business ethics seem in full swing.

When an employee came back to work at AT&T (T) after a dangerous illness, he was a man transformed: formerly by far the worst of his superior’s subordinates, he was now much the best. AT&T, then undergoing its breakup, had devised a new performance evaluation, requiring each manager to list subordinates in order of excellence. Should the manager rank her born-again subordinate first, as he deserved? Wouldn’t this be unfair to her three other subordinates, she agonized, since higher-ups were bound to think them awful if she ranked them beneath an employee known to be the bottom of the barrel?. Toffler, a professor of ethics at the Harvard Business School. The result of such moral relativism is that every situation becomes a problem that every manager is expected to solve as if no one had ever faced it before. And the solutions become fairly zany, as in an example reported to Barbara L.

Corporate cultures powerfully affect employee behavior, students rightly are told, so you mustn’t have reward systems that encourage misreporting of revenue and expenses or that promote cheating on government contracts. But in practice all this talk about how employees are creatures of their culture ends up by tacitly accepting the notion that the individual employee really can’t be held personally responsible for his actions. Their main message starts off with the reasonable exhortation that the future managers in their classes must prevent the creation of cultures of corruption at the outfits they’ll help run. The result is to genuflect piously to the idea of ethics without requiring any person to be ethical. In the end, the business school ethicists may be as much a part of the problem as of the solution.

We may fault each other but we cannot fault our administrators and businesses. The evidence can be seen in their advertising, employee and customer relations; management policy initiatives; the number of ethics courses in our colleges and universities and more. Circumstantial is that there is no one on this planet who has not in some way benefited from the philanthropic efforts of business at some time so it only follows that if ethics would help business do more and better in this regard, business would grasp it. Further, consider all the new laws and regulation being enacted to encourage ethical business and conduct. The genius of business has even developed ways of making money by being ethical. It is a hard sell if not an impossible one to tell me that business has not progressed ethically since the 1980’s.

Their immediate task, and ours, is to get it right. Ethical business has a ways to go but it has not failed “ethics”. It seems the urgings of our philosophers and great thinkers may be coming to pass as the sovereign individual is evolving before us. We would do well to follow suit. The dismay we may be sensing is the long road ahead of us. If there is a perfect method for achieving such it revolves around ethics. Business is “on point” here. Perhaps it would help if we all knew where we are heading? Consider that today inroads in science and technology are leading us towards independence, individuality and self reliance. It is an old theme but by grasping it business holds the future in its hands.

It’s about the entire financial sector operating a massive scam to enrich themselves selling a worthless product. It’s close to 10% of our entire economy wrapped up in this Ponzi scheme, and it’s completely built into the financial system. It’s pretty disingenuous to mention the collapse of business ethics, and point to a few high profile cases. It’s everybody you know who has a real talent choosing instead to sell real estate, or peddle mutual funds, or work at a bank. The collapse of ethics is not about the Bernie Madoffs or the Ivan Boeskys.

Even if you absolutely despise rap music, YouTube the song “We Be Steady Mobbin’” Uncut by Lil’ Wayne and Gucci Mane. Nothing is off limits to the next generation. I’ve lived it the past 22 years.). Money is God to them (my generation. ESPECIALLY if they are white dressed in very nice suits with squeaky clean backgrounds, you can find this on their iPods, because they love screwing their women who only care about money to it. I’m not kidding what-so-ever. This song is the new model of business ethics for the next up-and-coming generation.

Ethics have died in business and the law is helpless to stop it due to the continued relaxing of regulation. I read this and I have a hard time how this wasn’t written yesterday. It was placed there with good reason and removed for the sake of profit which everyone else is now forced to pay for.

“[The kinetic military action in Libya] is just the foreign policy outworking of Obama’s campaign to fundamentally transform America. Notice the common thread. Now he is using foreign policy to diminish America’s role and stature in the international community to cut wealthy, imperialistic America down to size.” –columnist David Limbaugh. He is using domestic policies to effectuate ‘economic justice’ at home, trying to cut ‘wealthy’ Americans down to size.

Point out this obvious fact to a liberal, and once he gets done calling you a greedy, heartless, bloodthirsty reactionary, he’ll insist that we haven’t yet seen true socialism. For instance, they champion socialism even though the past hundred years have proven time and again that it doesn’t work in practice the way it does in theory. In reality, they are like little children who regard fairy tales as non-fiction. “Leftists like to think of themselves as clear-thinking realists who are sensitive to nuance and irony. We’ve seen it in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, in China, Cambodia, North Korea and Cuba.” –columnist Burt Prelutsky. Actually, we have, though. On the contrary, in every country where it has existed, it has inevitably led to loss of liberty, widespread poverty and mass murder on a scale that has no parallel in human history.

Or maybe it is compassion fatigue.” –The New York Times’ Kirk Johnson. “Many Americans find themselves scratching their heads about America’s military intervention in Libya, and part of the reason, they say, can be summed up in one word: overload.

“With respect to initiating this [Libya military] action while I was abroad, keep in mind that we were working on very short timeframes, and we had done all the work, and it was just a matter of seeing how Gadhafi would react to the warning that I issued on Friday. He, despite words to the contrary, was continuing to act aggressively towards his civilians. . But, when it comes to our military action, we are doing so in support of UN Security [Council] resolution 1973, that specifically talks about humanitarian efforts, and we are going to make sure that we stick to that mandate.” –Barack Obama.

Because she looks at me and I looked tired. But I’m telling you, I am having an extraordinary time, because there aren’t many moments in our lives where we know that we’re making a difference. And this is one of those moments.” –Barack Obama. “We have made extraordinary progress over these last two years. . There are times where Michelle reminds me that I volunteered for this job. When you look back at the track record of work that we’ve done over the last two years, I think it’s fair to say the promise we made to the American people has been kept, that we have delivered in change that we can believe in.

We’ve gotten by that. It’s bizarre. But it’s amazing how these Republicans, the right wing of this party — whose philosophy threw us into this God-awful hole we’re in, gave us the tremendous deficit we’ve inherited — that they’re now using, now attempting to use, the very economic condition they have created to blame the victim — whether it’s organized labor or ordinary middle-class working men and women. “When a woman got raped, blame her because she was wearing a skirt too short, she looked the wrong way or she wasn’t home in time to make the dinner. It’s bizarre.” –Joe Biden.

It’s important for people to make the connection. It’s a time to remind people what he was fighting for.” –AFL-CIO spokesperson Josh Goldstein. “A lot of people forget that what [Martin Luther King] was doing in Memphis was fighting for sanitation workers there. Workers’ rights and civil rights go hand in hand. Martin Luther King was so important to the labor movement.

The rest of us do.” –Washington Times editor emeritus Wesley Pruden. All things considered, the left and the liberals should pay for their own entertainment. Public broadcasting could have leavened the bias years ago and saved itself by easing up on the mockery and ridicule of the things most Americans hold dear. “There’s never been a better opportunity to rid public broadcasting of its dependence on public welfare to spread its left-wing bias and propaganda, if only the Republican leadership can screw up the courage to lead the way. We can be glad it didn’t; government radio is the norm in Pyongyang and Havana and Tehran, but never here.

At a time when we should be remembering and uplifting the accomplishments and contributions of African-Americans, to the history, culture, civil rights and economy of America, we are literally during this month debating steps that will severely undercut and undermine that legacy.” –Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA). “It’s really especially poignant that this year during Black History Month, the Republican leadership has proposed a budget for fiscal year 2011 that will fall most heavily, mind you, on the backs of the most vulnerable in our society: African-Americans, Latinos and poor — those who have been shut of the American dream.

The fight for marriage equality is far from over, and we will continue to work towards the day when all American families are treated with respect and viewed equally in the eyes of the law.” –House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Since its inception, the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] has long been viewed as a violation of the equal protection clause of the Constitution. “The Obama administration’s decision [not to defend DOMA] is a victory for civil rights, fairness and equality for the LGBT community and all Americans. Today, the president made clear that he agrees — and I commend him for taking this bold step forward to ensure the federal government is no longer in the business of defending an indefensible statute.

"At Microsoft, we have a policy that says if you try to access a telephone five times incorrectly, the phone makes us clean," says Microsoft, Brad Anderson, vice president for management and security. "When the phone is deleted, does not distinguish between what is data from the company and what personal data. In this case, the images out there might get deleted.".

One of the objectives of Microsoft employees and customers is to build software that allows to distinguish between personal and corporate data on smartphones and shops to help manage two types of data separately. But if Microsoft fixes the problem only applies to employees, but make much money selling a new product wise management for IT security organizations of the mind. To date, Microsoft is one of many companies are struggling to find the right balance in the management of smartphones, including those held by employees. Unfortunately for Microsoft, the company has not yet found a way to build this product.

Even if the password for Microsoft / clean politics can seem serious, some companies have adopted a much more draconian device of personal property. Wells Fargo, whose leaders have recently interviewed, say the employees simply can not hang your devices to the corporate network, either a smart phone or tablet.

"There are still companies that mandate, not a product can be used for any personal business," said Anderson. "I think a thing of the past .." Smartphones are very personal devices, and is felt to allow employees to use their devices for work and play, "said Anderson. It is very difficult for a company like Microsoft.

Many IT shops will allow employees to use their phones to their work if they meet basic safety, namely, the ability to force users to enter a password to bring the phone to a state of rest, so remotely delete data from your data and encrypt your phone.
