Elokuun numerossa (4/2012) tutustutaan laivahylkyjen maailmaan ja vieraillaan Tukholman Vasamuseossa katsellen vuonna 1628 valmistunutta ja neitsytmatkallaan uponnutta uljasta Vasa-laivaa. Kuningas Kustaa II Aldofin (1594–1632) sotalaivaylpeys sai maata Tukholman vilkkaalla satamaväylällä 333 vuotta, kunnes se vihdoin vuonna 1961 nostettiin jälleen pinnalle. Sittemmin hylkyyn on tutustunut jo 20 miljoonaa kävijää. Wizzit tekee nyt nojatuolimatkan tähän ihmeelliseen Ruotsin sotalaivaston ylpeyteen.

Download or read book Aiming Big with Small Cars written by Rajnish Tiwari and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the small car segment of India's automotive industry to explain the emergence of lead markets. The authors contend that the current understanding of lead markets does not sufficiently explain the business practices that are born out of the intensified globalization of innovation. Lead markets are considered crucial for the global diffusion of new products and this book investigates whether sustainable lead markets can also emerge in developing economies, and if so, under which conditions. The authors question the conventional wisdom and propose updates and extensions to the lead market theory to better reflect the changing ground realities on ground.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011 the World Bank—with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—launched the Global Findex database, the world's most comprehensive data set on how adults save, borrow, make payments, and manage risk. Drawing on survey data collected in collaboration with Gallup, Inc., the Global Findex database covers more than 140 economies around the world. The initial survey round was followed by a second one in 2014 and by a third in 2017. Compiled using nationally representative surveys of more than 150,000 adults age 15 and above in over 140 economies, The Global Findex Database 2017: Measuring Financial Inclusion and the Fintech Revolution includes updated indicators on access to and use of formal and informal financial services. It has additional data on the use of financial technology (or fintech), including the use of mobile phones and the Internet to conduct financial transactions. The data reveal opportunities to expand access to financial services among people who do not have an account—the unbanked—as well as to promote greater use of digital financial services among those who do have an account. The Global Findex database has become a mainstay of global efforts to promote financial inclusion. In addition to being widely cited by scholars and development practitioners, Global Findex data are used to track progress toward the World Bank goal of Universal Financial Access by 2020 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The database, the full text of the report, and the underlying country-level data for all figures—along with the questionnaire, the survey methodology, and other relevant materials—are available at www.worldbank.org/globalfindex.
