Intrapreneurship is the way forward in 2017 for businesses

The key to businesses becoming even bigger in 2017 will be intrapreneurship. If you are unfamiliar with the term, it is basically when someone who works within a firm uses their entrepreneurial skills to build the firm without incurring any of the cost or risks involved in running a business. Now, what would this mean for businesses, it would mean encouraging their employees to be more creative, and motivated and to think outside of the box. This would make employees feel more like they are a part of the company and less disposable. When employees feel more important and confident in their jobs they generally perform better and are more likely to work harder.

So, for 2017, companies looking to grow their brand should explore the hiring of people with an intrapreneurial mindset, especially in departments such as sales and marketing, as well as managerial posts. Just imagine how much more ground would be broken and covered if a person worked as though a company were also their own. 

We see this as an under explored means of growth for a company, but once done correctly we think many company will experience massive overall improvement. The only learning curve that the company stands to face with employees of this mindset would be the challenges as it pertains to company policies as well as rules and bureaucracy. But, once they learn to give the intrapreneur enough space to take creative initiative and execute without letting the policies and rules that threaten to hamper the exploration of new initiatives get in the way, then this should not be much of an issue. And or course the intrapreneur should also understand how to work, build and grow within certain limits.

All in all this is definitely the way forward in a world dominated by millennials. Tell us what you think about this and if this is something that you would like to explore in 2017.

Russia considers military bases in Vietnam and Cuba

Russia is considering plans to restore military bases in Vietnam and Cuba that had served as pivots of Soviet global military power during the Cold War, Russian news agencies quoted Russian Deputy Defence Minister Nikolai Pankov as saying on Friday.

"We are dealing with this issue," the agencies quoted Pankov as saying in Russia's parliament.

Russia lowered its flag at the Lourdes signals intelligence base in Cuba and the deep water Cam Rahn naval base in Vietnam in the early 2000s as part of a drawing down of Russia's military presence around the world after the demise of the Soviet Union.

But since then, Moscow's foreign policy has become more assertive, leading to tensions with the United States and its allies over, among other issues, the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, and the presence of NATO troops in eastern Europe.

Pankov said the Defence Ministry was currently "rethinking" past decisions on closure of the bases, but declined to go into detail. Vietnam’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment and Cuban officials were not available.

The United States is in the process of reviving its relations with Cuba, which in Soviet times had offered Moscow its closest military installation to U.S. territory, less than 100 km (60 miles) from the Florida Keys.

"The global situation is not static, it is in flux, and the last two years have made significant changes to international affairs and security," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters.

"Therefore, it's quite natural that all countries assess these changes in line with their national interests and take certain steps in the way they consider appropriate."

The Russian Defense Ministry is considering the question of renewing Russia's presence in the bases in Cuba and Vietnam, according to Deputy Defense Minister Nikolai Pankov, who alluded to the issue during his speech at the State Duma on Oct. 7.

"We are working on it. We see this problem," said Pankov, responding to a parliamentarian's question about whether or not the ministry is working in this direction.

For now the issue of Russia's armed forces being present on a permanent basis at the radio-electronic center in Cuba’s Lourdes and Vietnam’s Cam Ranh Bay has not been decided officially. However, Russia's expert community is actively analyzing the suitability of the bases and their possible purpose.

Cuba

"There was a radio-electronics intelligence center in Cuba. I think it should be reopened," said Reserve Lieutenant General Yevgeny Buzhinsky, council chairman at the PIR Center (Center for Political Research), an NGO that studies issues related to global security. In his view, it was a mistake to halt operations at the Russian radio-electronics intelligence center, which operated in Cuba from 1967 to 2002.

He added that the U.S. has maintained its radio-electronic intelligence facilities on the Mediterranean coast in Turkey: "Radio-electronic reconnaissance resources are always useful [because] technologies change and things are [always] perfected."

Other experts, however, do not believe that renewing the Russian presence in Cuba is a necessary step in the current military-political conditions.

"There is no military-strategic sense in establishing Russian military bases in Cuba. Such discussions are aimed at stirring the interest of the U.S., at complementing NATO's growing activity in Europe," said Maxim Starchak, scientific collaborator at Queen's University's Center for International and Defense Policy (Canada).

In Starchak's opinion, the Kremlin may use the talks of renewing its presence on the island as a way to show Washington "that every new countermove will only instigate a response, meaning that negotiations are necessary."

At the same time, none of the experts interviewed by RBTH believes that Moscow's potential decision to renew Russia's presence on Cuba will engender a repeat of the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 since the Kremlin is unlikely to be thinking of deploying combat-ready troops or any type of missiles to the base in Lourdes.

However, the increased activity of the Russian navy in Southern Asia will most likely raise concerns in the U.S.

The possible expansion of the Russian naval presence in the Cam Ranh port in Vietnam and consequently the permanent presence of Russian military forces in this region represents a certain threat to the U.S. naval base in Guam, said Michael Kofman, a fellow at the Kennan Institute of the Wilson Center specializing in Russian military analysis.

In 2015 the U.S. State Department asked the Vietnamese government to cancel Russia's right to have its strategic bombers refuel at the Cam Ranh Base because of allegedly "provocative" Russian aviation flights near the U.S. base in Guam.

However, the Vietnamese government did not change its policy and the republic's ambassador to Russia said that the country was ready to continue accepting and servicing Russian ships at the Cam Ranh Base if this practice was not aimed at harming third countries.

The US race to the Presidential chair is heating up!!!

The race to the Presidential chair in the United States of America is heating up! Where do you fall? 

Because we are so close to the US election, one would find that all gloves are off, and all of the filthiest information is making its way to the surface about each candidate in an effort to make them look as unappealing to the masses as possible. 

But, we should ask ourselves, is this the way that one should be judging when considering who is the right person to be the next President of the United States of America. Has America lost sight of what is important when considering who would be best suited for leading the country? Does it all in fact boil down to race? How does this affect the rest of the world; who gets elected in the next US elections? The questions are numerous and the answers are vague to say the least. 

We dear anyone who is brave enough to answer the following:

- What is your decision on which candidate you vote for based on?

- Do you care who wins the next US election?

- Who are you voting for?

United States General Election

Google Launched Google Allo

Google launched Allo, a new smart messaging app for Android and iOS that helps users say more and do more right in their chats.

Google has launched an instant messaging app that is ‘Allo’ which would help users to make plans, find information and more, all within one chat. It was earlier announced at Google I/O on May 18, and officially launched on September 21, 2016. The app is available on Android and IOS.

Fresh features are introduced in Allo app:-

Chat one-on-one with your Google Assistant, anytime and anywhere you need it.

Find out how far you are from the airport, and when your flight leaves. You decide what to share with your Google Assistant, and the more you use it, the more useful it gets.

Start an incognito chat with another person in Allo app.

Incognito mode comes with privacy and secure mode, so you can control how long your messages stick around and private notifications to help keep your chats more discreet and cautious.

Express yourself with the perfect sticker.

Stickers and emoticons in Google Allo are designed by independent artists and studios from around the world. From Drama to Food Part, add some fun to the conversation when words aren't enough.

Show some creativity with photos.

Get artistic with the photos you send by doodling on them or adding text. Draw a smiley face, turn your friends into memes, and mix in some color. However, this feature is available only on android for now.

Use Smart Reply to make your conversation interesting

Smart Replies keep the conversation moving with a single tap by suggesting text and emoji responses based on a user’s usual replies.

SMS Contacts

The Allo app can send SMS to your contacts that are not on Allo. It will land as a message to download the app but the recipient can send a reply to you as SMS.

Is this app better than its contemporaries?

Each messaging app has its own principle, Pros and cons. So let’s find out more about ‘Allo App’

• iMessage, Hangouts and Messenger work on both the devices i.e. mobile and computers. Currently, Allo works only on Android and iOS mobile devices might be Google update the feature for Computers.
• Messenger has more sticker packs than Allo, which has around 25 stickers.
• iMessage stickers are more enjoyable to use. In iMessage, stickers can be placed on top of messages and photos; we can show our creativity by adding a cartoon mustache to our selfie. But on Allo, stickers can be sent only as stand-alone messages.

The big difference between the Hangouts and Allo app is Hangout relies mainly on your contacts list linked to a Google Mail account, whereas Allo pulls contacts from your device’s phone book.

A major glitch in this app is that it does not segregate your contacts on basis of active users of Allo app with non users. Rather it shows them in a plaintive catalogue which makes it difficult to determine which contact uses the app and which not.

Google has the opportunity to stand out by offering better and finer artificial intelligence in Allo app.
