The digital revolution poses a mortal threat to the major creative industries - music, publishing, television, and the movies. The ease with which digital files can be copied and distributed has unleashed a wave of piracy with disastrous effects on revenue.

You have heard it, "cash is king". I'm going to tell you this is not accurate. Margin is king. There is not a durable source of cash without margin.

Überschwemmungen, Waldbrände, Inflation, Krieg – unsere Welt steht in Flammen, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes.

Physical stores have been around for a very long time, and visiting a store was how people shopped. But things are different now. To succeed in the future, all business operations and strategies must focus on in-store experience for business development.

They can create memorable, unique, and engaging customer experiences.

How will we live well in a super-networked, information-soaked, yet predictably irrational world? The only way to know is to understand how the way we think is changing. As economist Tyler Cowen boldly shows in Create Your Own Economy, the way we think now is changing more rapidly than it has in a very long time. Not since the Industrial Revolution has a man-made creation - in this case, the World Wide Web - so greatly influenced the way our minds work and our human potential.
