The “stride taken by American global computing software giant Microsoft”:http://www.euronews.com/2013/09/03/microsoft-buys-nokia-s-handset-business/ towards a new level of competition against “consumer electronics rival Apple”:http://www.euronews.com/2013/07/24/apple-boosted-by-stellar-iphone-sales-looks-to-future-growth/ and Internet-related service corporation Google could amount to nothing less than a revolution in smartphones and personal computers (PCs), on a planetary scale.
The agreement by communications and IT firm Nokia of Finland to sell Microsoft its main handset business marks a significant mutation in the booming mobile market, as PCs have rapidly taken second place to smartphones and one-piece computer tablets.
Microsoft still has huge revenues from its Windows computer operating system, business software and gaming console. But it is far from a leading player in mobile devices. Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS system make up more than 90 percent of the market.
Nokia first partnered up with Microsoft in 2011 when it began putting Microsoft Windows in its phones. Nokia dominated the handset business for 14 years. Korean electronics conglomerate “Samsung overtook it in sales in 2012”:http://www.euronews.com/2013/07/26/samsung-makes-record-profit-but-aware-phone-boom-can-t-last . As US Apple forged ahead with its juggernaut iPhone product line, Nokia took a hammering. At least one analyst said Nokia’s phone business is changing hands at a ‘fire sale’ price; others aren’t so sure.
Microsoft’s strategy seems to be approaching Apple’s, in combining an operating system with an application store, an economic model that Apple invented, and which whammied the whole sector, Apple turning up trumps.
Buying Nokia, Microsoft flexes its muscles, adding smartphone potential to its Xbox game console and Surface tablet, seriously planning to fill out its product line.
The deal still needs Nokia shareholders’ and regulators’ approval; after that, Microsoft will have to prove there is a place for a third major player in smartphone operating systems. Telecoms companies say they aren’t against having a third giant in the game, balancing Apple and Google power.

euronews learning world – In business
http://www.euronews.com/ Running a company requires a variety of skills and abilities which increasing numbers of young business people are learning via management courses. But chosing the right one is not easy, and it is also important to remember ethics. Even the best business ideas can be sabotaged by bad practice.
*Spain: mastering management*
Richard Midikira from Kenya is studying in Madrid at the IE Business School, ranked in the World’s Top Ten by the Financial Times: “The MIM programme is very intense, it gives you knowledge in different areas of business from operations and supply management to finance to marketing and accounting. So it makes you understand business from a very broad perspective and it puts you in a better position to give solutions to businesses from a broader perspective.”
The ‘Master in Management’ or MIM course is an international business programme for graduates with up to two years of experience. 93% of graduates from the course are employment within three months, many with large companies like Mackenzie, Google and Facebook.
There are students of more than 40 nationalities currently enrolled on the course but this kind of education does not come cheap. The tuition fee is 30,000 euros.
*Ireland: kids in the boardroom*
In Tralee, in Ireland, they are experimenting with one of the country’s most ambitious educational schemes – the Junior Entrepreneur Programme. The idea is to talk about business with children aged between eight and 12 years old. Subjects include profits and investment and although no-one is actually making or losing money, the hands-on approach has the children interested.
A good idea is one thing, but the would-be entrepreneurs also have to describe how the company would be set up and financed. The teacher, Evelyn Dore, said: “They realise the value of money, they realise why we are learning fractions and percentages in school. They realise the value of team work.”
The project was set up by internet entrepreneur Jerry Kennelly, who says that business leaders should reach out to the next generation – however young. By 2015, nearly 4,500 children will have taken part in the programme.
*Switzerland: the business of ethics*
Bert Wolfs, one of the founders of the Swiss Business School, is convinced that business ethics are vital: “In 2001, Enron, a large energy company in the United States, went bankrupt and that also led to the bankruptcy of Arthur Andersen, which was the fourth largest auditing company in the world. This inspired us, due to the misbehaviour of senior management, to really organize an Ethical Business School. And to who could we teach better and where could we start for the change? It was with our students. Companies are doing well by doing good and they think they then apply all the aspects of ethics. But in real life you have to apply it in your business. So you have to be fair, you have not to accept bribery, you have to implement a code of ethics in your company. Now we’ve made it concrete and I think that helps to change the behaviour of managers and students.”
More than 300 students have taken this course at the Swiss Business School over the past 10 years, focusing on doing ethical buisiness rather than just on making money at all costs. Honesty and transparency are essential for economic survival.

Future’s job: Redesigning more sustainable lithium-ion batteries
Aceleron claims to have designed the world’s “most sustainable” lithium-ion battery; one that is reusable, repairable, and recyclable.
Future’s job: Redesigning more sustainable lithium-ion batteries
Batteries are the foremost method of storing energy. But many companies producing batteries are focused on using today’s technology to make them for use today; little thought is put into what happens to them when they’ve reached the end of their lifespans.
That’s where Aceleron, a UK startup that claims to have designed the world’s “most sustainable” lithium-ion battery, comes in.
The company’s batteries are designed around circular economy principles, so they can be reused and upgraded over time.
