How to Survive a Company Merger

How to Survive a Company Merger | Business change | Scoop.it
Mergers can open new opportunities for employees. Survival just takes some careful planning.

 

Few events are as stressful for employees as news of a merger or acquisition. Regardless of how brightly the "marriage" of two companies is presented, jobs will be lost. But mergers can also open new opportunities for employees who may end up succeeding their laid-off boss. Survival just takes some careful planning.

2012 Cisco Connected World Technology Report - Gen Y: New Dawn for work, play, identity

2012 Cisco Connected World Technology Report - Gen Y: New Dawn for work, play, identity | Business change | Scoop.it
The first chapter in the 2012 Cisco Connected World Technology Report builds on last year's report by examining how Gen Y creates increasing loads of data while impacting everything from on-line shopping to mobile devices to corporate culture and workforce expectations.

At the heart of this year's study is the smart-phone and the constant connectivity it provides to work, entertainment, shopping, and friends. There are 206 bones in the human body, and the smart-phone should be considered the 207th bone for Generation Y. They view smart-phones as an appendage to their beings — an indispensable part of their lives, and yet they are concerned about data management and Internet security.

It would drive me crazy to have my phone beeping at me while I'm sleeping. How about you?
