Mobile culture

We have become an app based society; one commercial advertisement for Apple some years back cliche was "yep we have an app for that". The human experience is a now on the go lifestyle thanks in part to smart phone technology. A generation ago we were tied to landlines a source of communication. We would often wait by the phone at home or what was then called a pay phone when expecting an important call. The new era technology put at are finger tips not only a mobile phone but one equipped with enough apps to handle a majority of social task, execute scheduling, book trips & hotel reservations, and stream our favorite movies and songs (Hayden, & Webster, 2015). Just a few years ago we probably would have needed someone to explain streaming but now there are virtual reality helmets that allows panoramic visual and audio sharing of experiences virtually anywhere in the world. In our mobile lives apps are created to make lives easier and to enrich our everyday living with custom features. The ever evolving capabilities of technology grows each day with every addition of data added to the computer and data base systems with interchanging qualities. The reality is technology is an extension of the entire human experience in a holistic view. Reference Hayden, T., & Webster, T. (2015).

Poor ethics is a cultural problem (blaming the escape goat)

Ethics and its importance has been discussed across several disciplines including management, economics, and financial theory. In business the reason why ethics should be the emphasis of hiring, training, continual learning, and practice is because it is a liability. History has showed us in the business world, and in government economics poor ethics lead to negligence, and negligence is a major liability, and liabilities cost companies big money. A study in the automotive emission testing industry revealed inspectors display poor ethical behavior when dealing with more than one manufacturer (Pierce, & Snyder, 2008). When inspectors dealt exclusively with a single corporation testings were more accurate but with more than one organization emission accuracy sloped noticeably. Thus lead to Pierce, & Snyder studying the ethics level of a single inspector across several organizations. Further pondering of the ethical man across several organizations suggest ethical behavior is a cultural behavior as found with Fisman and Mykel's (2007) study of the diplomatic parking tickets, and Maggies (2000) study of misconduct at the Italian bank (Pierce, & Snyder, 2008).

Business is faster than ever

Internet technology analysis. Its bigger than just the Internet phase of business; but the entire life span of business as the Western world knows and understand its. The evolution of business has brought us through a variation of management styles from autocracy to the current xyz theory. Meanwhile business models have experience manual labor to the industrial boom, to globalization, and big retailers, now to the current (e) business era. This is an interesting time to say the least. The advancements in technology has created a platform for the once disenfranchised to use and exploit a global market. Some leadership theorist may argue with validity these opportunities always existed and were always exploited by those with talent. I would only suggest in the eye of such criticism that the exposure now from technology has created a faster mean for information to travel then ever before. For the entrepreneur of yesterday starting locally, then spreading regionally, hopefully federally, and a long shot globally has a longer road to travel when compared to the ventures of today. I believe the substance that made up the previous era entrepreneur is consistent with those who seek to grow their ideas and business today. The drive of the man or woman that steps out side the box and see a world that could be has generational continuity. But the tools of the modern era is undeniable although in many cases access may be. For the ones able to tap into the mega data bases, and use compatible operating systems to control their business and its direction the sky is the limit. Buy now $15.99 www.echbg.com

Consumer trends in the global industry

Some might say the consumer market and global market as a whole feel the need to be more connected. Technology enthusiast will go even further to explain this belief on advancement leading to smartphones, tablet, and computer connection to the world wide web. Has these devices made people smarter? Don't be so quick to answer yes because overwhelming evidence show the reliance on technology has reduced humans memory function and cognitive ability to solve more complex problems. Technology pessimist argue smart phones just made the library and reference points a shorter distance. Furthermore just because a resource is at your bedside does not mean a person will utilize it any more than if it was down the street and around the corner. In the global market Japanese yen continues to surpass the US dollar giving the country leverage in foreign trade. Some futurist are speculating further about a world currency in the future not dependent on exchange rates and confusion. The foreign exchange is currently a valuation of national currency setting rates by each country's assets against gold standard. The consumer remains to be the same even in the advance of technology some tap into knowledge resources while others except the commercial status-quo. The final barrier of resistance each nation has when all else fail is its military power. However military power requires a strong dollar amount in the global scheme of things. The holistic view makes researchers wonder are consumers connected to a real picture or just a stage full of actors.
