  • Consumers in China spent $116.8 billion on luxury goods abroad in 2015
  • This translates to 46% of the global volume of high-end goods, which includes branded leather goods, cosmetics and electronics, according to consultants at Beijing-based Fortune Character Group, which derived these figures from the revenues of some 20,000 brands.
  • The government says that 120 million Chinese tourists — just about 1% of the population — went overseas in 2015, and contributed to 12% of global spending on their holidays.

  • Many Chinese buyers are keen to make their high-end purchases overseas because luxury goods imported into China are priced at a premium, in part because of high import tariffs. The China Chamber of International Commerce found last year that high-end goods were priced at up to 68% higher in China compared to prices in the U.S. and Europe.
  • This has resulted in many overseas brands shutting their mainland stores, such as French fashion house Louis Vuitton, which closed stores in Guangzhou, Harbin and Urumqi last year. Other luxury goods brands such as Burberry, Hermes, Armani and Prada also shut outlets in China over the past two years.
  • Some brands remain bullish on China, however. Apple, for one, has been aggressively expanding in the country in the past year, and has set a goal to have 40 stores in Greater China by mid-2016
  • Domestic retail has been growing as an economic driver for the country, as the economy faces its slowest growth rate in two decades. Consumption contributed to 66.4% of GDP in 2015, up 15.4% from 2014.

    please watch the video conversation, but here are my brief takeaways: - There is a shift form institutional structures (corporations, centralized governments, educational establishments) to social structuring - Social Structuring - creating value by aggregating micro contributors by large networks using social tools and technology Key patterns in future of learning are 1. Content comments 2. New Foundations 3. Global Learning arbitrage 4. Embedded and embodied learning 5. Human-software symbiosis 6. Socialstructured work Major shifts in learning: - from episodic to continuous learning - from content conveyors to content curators - from working at one scale to working at up&down the scale - from degrees to reputation metrics - from grades to continuous feedback

  • The inexorable rise of the waters of the earth’s oceans since 1880 has already contributed almost 20 cm (nearly a foot) since 1880, and more recently the rise continues at an accelerating pace . The IPCC (2007) predicts an increase of sea level of between 0.5 to 1.5 m by the year 2100
  • Island nations under threat include Bermuda and the Bahamas in the Atlantic, the Pacific Islands of Palmerston, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Vanuatu, Marshall Islands, Cook Islands, Fiji, Solomon Islands, and the Maldives in the Indian Ocean
  • in terms of numbers of persons impacted, the oceanic islands pale in comparison with the slow-motion disasters that will occur in densely populated, low-lying coastal cities like New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Mumbai, Shanghai, Singapore, Jakarta and Dhaka.

  • The extraordinary warming of 2.5°C (4.5°F) over the past 50 years on the Antarctic Peninsula is both the world’s greatest temperature change and least opportune venue for warming on the planet. Warmer air and currents penetrating deep into West Antarctica could initiate collapse of the marine based West Antarctic Ice Sheet ice sheet (Joughin and Alley, 2011), rapidly elevating global seas by as much as 3-6 meters.

    Customer relations are in transformation! Pre-sales, sales & after sales are changing at high speed. Companies need to figure out the current customer journey, the role of self service, their data strategy and much more. A little while ago I conducted a global study on the future of customer relationships in collaboration with data collection company SSI and translation agency No Problem!. The study looks into all aspects of a modern customer relation.

  • Electronic waste, or e-waste, is a rapidly growing global problem
  • Yet many are realising that the gadgets we chuck away can be ripped apart and transformed into something new – brand new technology, or even art.
  • In 2012, we discarded 48.9 million tonnes of electrical and electronic products. If current trends continue, by 2017, the annual amount of e-waste produced globally will reach 65.4 million tonnes – that’s roughly 20% of the weight of all the people living on Earth.

Netflix's 'Murder Mystery' Would've Killed in the Theaters | Fortune - 0 views

shared by isoldatenkova on 24 Jun 19 - No Cached
  • Murder Mystery scored a record-breaking 30.8 million viewers—the highest weekend ever for a Netflix debut—which would put its theoretical global haul $278.1 million—great results for Netflix and Sandler, who signed a four-movie deal with the streaming service in 2017.
  • Murder Mystery does prove is that Netflix’s deal with Sandler and its other forays into original filmmaking can produce blockbuster results.
  • To be fair, Toy Story 4 is expected to have a worldwide opening of $260 million, but Netflix is still clearly winning by putting out a middling movie that people can watch in the comfort of their own home, in the backseat of a car, or wherever else they choose.

  • Cheapest Labor Since Tsars Ruled Russia a Draw for Samsung, Ikea
  • A combination of the country’s worst currency crisis since 1998 and an unprecedented slide in real wages for most of the past two years has resulted in salaries that have become “broadly competitive” with China’s for the first time since the tsarist era ended a century ago, according to Renaissance Capital.
  • “It won’t be an exaggeration to say that Russia may become the region’s factory,” said Yaroslav Lissovolik, chief economist at the Eurasian Development Bank. “The goal of our manufacturers in Russia is to create alliances with foreign companies, to become part of regional and global chains of added value and thus to increase not only the country’s competitive potential, but also its export potential.”

  • Это безвозвратные деньги, они могут быть потрачены на закупку, транспортировку и установку оборудования для кинозалов (экран, проекторы, кресла и т. д.), но не на ремонт или строительство; на каждый зал может быть потрачено не более 5 млн руб

  • По данным Фонда кино, в городах с населением менее 100 000 человек работает 707 залов. Если исключить из них кинотеатры в подмосковных городах, то в малых региональных городах открыто около 600 залов
  • Это около 15% от всех современных кинозалов в стране.
  • на 100 000 жителей России приходится менее трех кинозалов, это 42-й результат среди всех стран мира.
  • За первые девять месяцев этого года жители России и СНГ (без учета Украины) потратили на билеты в кино 36,5 млрд руб., и 16,8% из этой суммы – на российские фильмы
  • В итоге Фонду кино этой осенью удалось договориться с несколькими крупными киносетями («Люксор», «Пять звезд», «Киномакс», «Премьер-зал» и «Мираж синема») о том, что последние приложат максимальные усилия для увеличения доли русских сеансов в своих залах в следующем году до 20%

Всего планируем 512 новых, современных кинозалов. В этих кинозалах в течение трёх лет будет установлена российская доля – 50 процентов

Первые примеры нашего совместного производства, телеканалов и Минкультуры, – «Тихий Дон», «Бесы» по Достоевскому, «Молодая гвардия» Фадеева, «Екатерина Великая».
  • сделали список из ста лучших фильмов, которые нужно показывать нашим детям. Эти фильмы очистили от авторских прав, разместили их на сайте культура.рф, нашем портале, в бесплатном доступе, на сайте Минобрнауки

  • I think it will be standard in 4 years, not 40. We will have a glasses-free technology in five years at home and three years for laptops. The limiting factor is going to be content. You can’t rely on a few films a year for this. It is going to have to be 3-D broadcast sports, scripted television, non-scripted television and reality television
