Carlos Kornhauser

So can understand that disaster recovery strategies are part of the technology business continuity Plan, taking into account all the elements of the operation of the business, such as: processes, personnel, and physical locations of them. It is necessary to know and distinguish the different factors that could support the business to both define continuity strategies as recovery strategies, for example is very important to know how long our information can survive after a disaster, that amount of information could lost or found in the backs planned based on the operation of the business, it is also very important to analyse these details, as based on this and other existing elements you could perform an analysis and rely on them to implement a model that will allow us to define that as important is to really have well-established the continuity of the business, as well as their strategies, Carlos Kornhauser mentions about this that; While most aligned are the areas of you business and understand what are the impacts an organisation or business can have depending on the operational discontinuity of the technological platform, how decisions can be made investing in various elements that really allow to maintain the continuity of the operation this requiring the business is essential for the optimal functioning of the business and strategies implemented validate the proper continuity of operations, give appropriate follow-up and evaluate the various aspects that influence the success of strategies, any plan of continuity or disaster recovery strategy if not tested or is this by constantly ensuring its operation, this will take on that the efforts previously only fall that, in another time might have a new planning, so best thing is always to keep up-to-date information, as well as make necessary changes in plans and strategies..

Data

According to a study by the CPP group, international company in products and support services, 89% of respondents Spanish users know and shows concerned with crimes perpetrated in the network, but more than half, 56 percent, provides personal data by telephone or the Internet without security guarantees. 7% Recognizes that even facilitates Bank data. Spain legislation protects the right to honour, personal and family privacy and self-image of the citizen, and extends to the digital realm the precepts designed to regulate hazards that affect the protection of personal data. However, the scope of privacy of every citizen is a reserve that must protect the person concerned, who must be alert to avoid possible damage, since he and only he decides what it regards as its own privacy. In this sense, the regulations responds to some types of dangers facing the user chats, forums, social networking and instant messaging: hazards affecting the identity of the person (usurpation of identity, harassment or cyberbullying, grooming over the Internet with minors), as well as the protection of minors against possible undesirable access to certain contents published on the network. At this point it would be opportune to point out the lack of effective protection of the user against possible addiction to the use of tools, social networks, forums, chats, that since then, although we can not say that it promotes, nor prevents from own ISPs. Ultimately, to correct rules, to achieve the effectiveness in the protection of the personal sphere on the Internet, to add awareness of the user about the importance of each individual act of communication of your personal data at the precise moment that introduces them in a form, chat, Forum, blog, etc, and the responsibility of each user in the monitoring of measures which ensures at each platform chosen for information privacy It communicates on the Internet. An awareness that tend the efforts both of the Spanish Agency of protection of Data associations and professionals from the information security, as Audea from your corporate blog, and that can only result in benefit of the community of users of the network in Spain.

Coalition

Do not it!: do not create a coalition of powerful enough direction. Often, most of the renovation programs begin only with one or two people. In cases in which the transformation plans are successful, the leadership grows more and more over time. However, in cases in which does not reach a minimum threshold of transformation in the early stages of the process, are not usually valuable results in the later stages. It is almost impossible to introduce a transcendent change except that the leader of the organization behind it actively. However, I am referring to something that goes far beyond. Transformations that succeed, executives made a common commitment to achieve excellent results through renewal.

According to my experience, this group never are all senior executives of the company, because some people not want to adhere to this commitment, at least not at the initial time. But, in most of the times they get ahead, the Coalition is always quite powerful in terms of charges, information, experience, reputation and relationships. In these stages, it will be important that this cooperation is transmitted to the rest of the hierarchical line. In fact, the Coalition tends to operate outside the hierarchical line. If the hierarchy were working well there would be no need for a profound transformation. However, if you consider that the current system is not working, the reforms will impose activities that do not fit within normal limits, the expectations and the Protocol. Generally, companies that fail in phase 2 that undervalue the difficulties inherent in the generation of changes and, therefore, the importance of a powerful directive coalition. Sometimes companies do not have work experience team at higher levels, and therefore undervalue the importance of this type of coalition. Sometimes, the team is expected to headed by an Executive in the area of human resources, quality or planning rather than by an officer of line.

Pygmalion Effect

To some extent it implies recognize that we are what others expect us to be. It is also called the law of mirror: treated me like someone exceptional and so am I. In medicine is known as the placebo effect: administer a pill of starch, completely innocuous and without active principle, can cure since doctor who manages us says that we are going to cure, added that we wish to cure us. Tony Bartel takes a slightly different approach. In economics, the most relevant case large-scale Pygmalion effect was that he lived with the economic crisis of 1929, in which the belief of many people that the system sank, did that reduced demand for goods, and that you finally sink. The Pygmalion effect has also had important implementation for disonos and casamenteras, since people among which seemed not to be attraction, the simple suggestion of the other's desire was sufficient so that the attitude of the supposedly desired changed radically, promoting greater rapprochement. Predisposition to treat someone in a concrete way, influenced to a greater or lesser extent - so told us of such a person, it is something very confirmed by subsequent to Rosenthal's studies, and even seems common sense. It seems that the Pygmalion effect has scientific basis, since it has been confirmed that when a person puts trust in another person, and manages to get that hope, the limbic system streamlines your thinking ability, increases the sagacity and lucidity, improves more than the care, and increases the effectiveness and efficiency.

Get or not, targets difficult can depend on trust or distrust that others have deposited in us, because that confidence, expectations, beliefs or what is expected of anyone, can become an important principle of action. In other words: when there is a strong desire that inspires them, the prophecies always tend to materialize. Both for better and for worse. We maintain the highest hopes those who live; If we sincerely believe in their chances, we'll see them fulfilled.

At present applications have surpassed music in many fields, more specifically: games, that monopolize almost completely on the list that has just been made public. In a few days, Apple's App Store will exceed 10 billion downloads barrier. And to celebrate, the Apple company has decided to publish a ranking of the apps most downloaded ever. In the list include applications as popular as Facebook-App or Angry Birds, but there is also room for surprises. Joseph Stiglitz understood the implications. One of them is iFart Mobile, an application that simulates farts and that is causing a furor among users of the iPad.

It is curious, however, that the implementation of the famous social network there is no managed to sneak into the Top 10 of the most downloaded free apps for the iPad, where Pandora figure at the top of the podium, advises Meedia. Will then name some curiosities that have been able to take these lists: * as you can see Facebook is first in the ranking of applications you pay for iPhone, but the funny thing is that it is not in the list of the iPad. The reason? Simple, do not have a native iPad version, leaving the way free for some payment applications as Friendly Plus found below the post 30 in this ranking.

Another curiosity is that Echofon, a Twitter client, has more downloads than the own Twitter client, something really strange. ** If we see the most downloaded free apps, we can observe firstly to Facebook, something really credible due to its amount of users that are connected on a daily basis; second is Pandora, an excellent service that deserves to be in this position; but in third place is Google Mobile App, i.e. Google, potential competitor of Apple.

One of the main challenges that companies face today is able to Captivate our customers and achieve to remain doing business with us for a long time in a cost-effective manner. In other words, the challenge is as accomplished to develop loyalty in customers to achieve mutually beneficial relationships. There is a large arsenal of tools to work on the development of a structured plan to this end. Among them are the known loyalty programs than in the majority of opportunities, especially in the retail sector, was conviernte in points programs. We have created a guide to support the development of coherent shape a loyalty program. To work in this regard the first question that can stay afloat is what a loyal customer?.

Atlantic Ocean

However, as the proposal is to argue the Mediterranean from its side north, it is clearly the great paper of prominence for the Europe. Perhaps now what it is a problem if to elucidate is the imaginary construction of Africa as not a place or a series of independent spaces. Of partially innovative form, Braudel constructs arcabouo that it allows to defend the long duration it, the geographic time. In this part of the workmanship, it describes the action of the relief and the climate as influenciadores of the antrpica action. The Atlantic Ocean and the desert of the Saara emerge as determinative citizens of the mediterrnico climate, this reigning in dries and that one commanding the periods rainy. For this and other reasons that do not fit here, expand the borders of the Mediterranean, making of it the measure of the man and the world, creating a zone of mutual influence of this with the places most remote.

A effect cascade of climatic and economic disturbances, this last o foments capital of its pretense total history. The expansion of the mediterrnicas borders in the direction north the south finds the continents here and geographically juxtaposed, if communicating for this band of sea, old and still alive crossroads of cultural and commercial exchanges. It is in this operation that appears not the place of Africa as civilization, therefore the history of the Mediterranean is oriented according to a European polar region and a desert-like polar region. It fulfills to its function with efficiency the Saara: it isolates the Mediterranean of the Country of the Blacks and surpasses its influence until the north of the Europe. The desert would be as the face of the Mediterranean, the antithesis of the privileged continent, empty, vast, poor and needy the place. The African place would not be a physical, geographic and biological emptiness where paradoxicalally the suitable man makes great effort to survive there.
