The advantages of social media for small businesses
No full textThe poster, “The Advantages of Social Media for Small Businesses” focuses on social media and its positive and negative effects on small businesses. The author begins by introducing the topic through a brief history of the internet, web 2.0, and its byproduct, social media. The text continues on to discuss the central question of, “is social media beneficial for small businesses?” This question is studied as the author negotiates the positives and negatives associated with social media and its potential impact on small businesses. The author outlines the main benefits of social media and examines them in greater detail and then provides examples of ways businesses can use social media to increase their publicity. These range from targeted and affordable advertising, to funding a project using fans as backers. The poster also compares these benefits of social media with the potential downsides and offers specific examples of products developed by small businesses, such as Minecraft, the Ouya Console, and the Pebble Smartwatch, to illustrate the ways in which social media has contributed to make each a success. The author concludes the research project with a summarization of why the benefits of social media outweigh the detriments for small businesses. (Author abstract)Laurin, N. (2014).

Full text link¡Vietnam en América Latina! La Revolución Popular Sandinista en la prensa austríaca.
No full textThis paper analyses selected topics of the Nicaraguan Revolution in the Austrian press, namely the occupation of the National Palace in Managua in 1978, the triumph of the revolution on July 19, 1979 and the visits by two members of the conservative Austrian People’s Party in Nicaragua in 1984. For this purpose, the paper uses articles and reports of the following Austrian newspapers: the Arbeiter-Zeitung, Die Presse, Kleine Zeitung, Kurier, Neue Kronen Zeitung, Salzburger Nachrichten and the Wiener Zeitung. Given that, the objective of the paper is to show discursive strategies in the Austrian newspapers concerning the Nicaraguan Revolution. The results of this research demonstrates that in general all newspapers lacked of sophisticated own research about Nicaragua and the region. Their dependency on the global news agencies led to false reports, misinterpretations and drew an unbalanced picture of the events and policies concerning Nicaragua and Central America.El texto analiza tres temáticas de la revolución de Nicaragua en la prensa austriaca: la ocupación del Palacio Nacional en Managua en el año 1978, el triunfo de la revolución en el 19 de julio de 1979 y la visita de dos miembros del Partido Popular Austríaco en Nicaragua en el año 1984. Para ello utilizan artículos y noticias de los siguientes periódicos austriacos: Arbeiter-Zeitung, Die Presse, Kleine Zeitung, Kurier, Neue Kronen Zeitung, Salzburger Nachrichten y Wiener Zeitung. El objetivo del presente trabajo es mostrar los discursos sobre la revolución popular sandinista en la prensa austriaca. Los resultados de esta investigación muestran en los periódicos analizados una falta de investigación independiente sobre Nicaragua y la región. Su dependencia de las agencias de noticias globales llevó a informes falsos, malas interpretaciones y dibujó una imagen desequilibrada de los eventos y las políticas relativas a Nicaragua y Centroamérica

Lagging Behind: Productivity and the Good Fortune of Canadian Provinces
Full text linkThe good fortune of bountiful natural resources is not enough to ensure rising incomes for Canadians in the long term. Growing labour productivity is the most important determinant of future economic welfare and on that measure, Canada is falling behind its major trading partners. Increasing labour productivity does not mean workers working harder for less money, a common canard. It means more investment in one of three factors: 1) human capital (education or other learning); 2) physical capital (plants or other infrastructure); or 3) technology. Just as an individual’s income is in the long-run dependent on how productive he or she is, so too is that of the nation as a whole. If Canada fails to improve its productivity, the incomes of both individual Canadians and the nation as a whole will fall behind those of other developed countries.Economic Growth and innovation, Canadian provinces, labour productivity
