Tech Trends Shaping Business Research

The barrage of new technologies that are introduced to the market, each with the promise of altering (or at least affecting) the corporate world, can easily make one numb. However, our examination of a few of the more important IT trends makes a strong argument for the fact that something important is taking place. Granularity, speed, and scale—the three key elements that have characterized the digital era—are typically being accelerated by these technological advancements. However, the extent of these shifts in bandwidth, computer power, and analytical complexity is what's creating new opportunities for organizations, inventions, and business models. Greater innovation may be made possible by the exponential gains in processing power and network speeds brought about by the cloud and 5G, for instance. Advances in the metaverse of augmented and virtual reality provide opportunities for immersive learning and virtual R&D using digital twins, for example. Technological development...

Where Brazilians Gather: The Largest Community in the USA

 Employment Law

Employment Law in the UK is all about work stuff and it's like a way to make the job market cool and fair for everyone. It's not just about bosses getting workers, but also about helping people find jobs that are perfect for them. So rad! (Department for Business, Innovation, and Skills, 2013: 4). The Employment Law 2013 is all about the UK government's vibe of making the job scene chill, lit, and fair, ya know?30 The Employment Law Review, launched in 2010 is like, all about flexing on existing laws and making them way better, you know?OMG, when it comes to labor rights, EU citizens working in the UK have to follow British labor law. It's like, mandatory and stuff. 


OMG, like for real, they totally have the right to be treated equally with the locals at work cuz EU rules, duh. Anyway, there's like hella proof of EU citizens getting seriously exploited for their labor in the UK. It's been lowkey suggested that some of this exploitation is straight up forced labor, like a total breach of human rights (like, Article 4 ECHR vibes) and a criminal offense under UK law (EHRC 2010; Dwyer et al., 2011)). It's been suggested that there's, like, a major enforcement fail, especially with EU-8 workers, 'cause there's evidence of labor rule-breaking and stuff. OMG, like, the regular ways to make sure workers in the UK are treated right haven't even been used (Barnard 2014) Let's peep how UK Employment Law as an employment-related flex was applied to research participants' equality claim from cultural capital. Employers gotta be woke and know that if an employee feels they've been treated unfairly, they can totally flex their rights and file discrimination and other no-no complaints under the Equality Act. The complaint gives a vibe for workers and employers to flex and spill tea about discrimination and other no-no stuff complaints under the Equality Act. 

Some of my peeps were like complaining out loud but didn't bother to fill out the complaint form to get info and answers from their boss or the person they think is to blame.


It's not like, a must to use the complaint form, ya know? Info can be requested and snagged via snail mail or in other lit ways. The respondents like Jakub and Raymond, tho, were totally not vibing with the redundancy dismissal decision. They straight up called it a discriminatory move. But they didn't get the right answer from their bosses, smh. According to them, they were like so not vibing with the response cuz their employers didn't even clue them in on their right to flex and appeal the decision. We've peeped in the last chapter that like, over two-thirds of my peeps who had mad skills and qualifications for their gig straight up said they were hella unhappy with their cash and perks. Many peeps, even if they were doing the same kinda work, didn't get any vacay or sick pay. But the local workers got those perks. Some farm workers even worked without their stat right, smh. The employers better have made sure that the pay and benefits don't discriminate against them illegally under equality law. If someone, like, suspects inequality of pay based on, like, protected characteristic (like race, etc.), they can, like, get info from their employer or from the person they think is responsible, ya know?  This is where we see how crucial employment-related accommodations can be as a tool to achieve anti-discrimination goals or to prevent employment discrimination, ya know? But like, if there's, like, any major breaches of the terms and conditions of employment and the employers can, like, easily dip out without getting in trouble, then the labor laws and regulations can, like, totally lose their effectiveness, you know? This argument be like, echoing remarks made by The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford (The Migration Observatory, 2014):

Like, sometimes the peeps asked their boss for deets on how much they get paid compared to the locals. 


They got totally ghosted on that info and were straight up not clued in on how to file a complaint, smh. The workers were like, so lost because they didn't have enough tea on how to make complaints, and like, their English isn't on fleek, so they don't even know how to find info about complaining for equality stuff. Definitely their employers were totally woke about the equality of terms complaints that can be made by an employee when they think they haven't received equal terms because of gender or protected characteristics like race, including color, ethnicity, or immigration status. Although the whole unequal pay situation was totally called out by Anastazja multiple times, her employer never bothered to give her any legit answers. SMH. This issue is like totally linked to how migrant workers are like super vulnerable to being exploited at work, which has been like constantly pointed out by research on migrant workers in the UK (e.g. CAB, 2005; CAS, 2006, CRC, 2007; de Lima and Wright, 2009). The most likely reason is that some employers are all about that and don't care about following the rules. They claim that migrant workers are just chasing the money, so they make them work more than they're legally allowed to (de Lima and Wright, 2009).

Exploring the US-Canada Trade Dynamics

In recent years, there has been significant advancements in statistical analysis. A growing collection of sophisticated techniques and statistical tests have made it possible for researchers to handle a wide range of ambiguities in the data sets they have investigated (Beck & Katz, 1995; Cramer, 1986; White, 1980). The extent to which the standard assumptions of regression analysis are satisfied—particularly the independence of the error components and whether or not they have the same variance—is essential for deriving reliable parameter estimates from regressions. Even though statistical analysis offers tests to determine whether a particular model satisfies these presumptions, these tests don't offer much guidance on how to modify the model when the assumptions are violated.We propose adding a second technology to the researcher's toolkit in order to address these issues that arise during the study process. If there is structure in the error terms, social structure vis...

Canada's Role in US Trade Relations

Built the biggest market-based energy trading partnership in the world, the United States and Canada give a strong basis as we work toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Drawing on USD $7.5 billion in the U.S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and CAD $1.2 billion to create a network of electric vehicle fast chargers and community charging options on both sides of the border, we will work to harmonize charging standards and create cross-border alternative fuel corridors. Working on the decadal performance targets for important technology sectors, the United States and Canada will cooperate on the Energy EarthshotTM of the U.S. Department of Energy. Aiming to lower the cost of grid-scale energy storage by 90% for systems delivering 10+ hours of duration within the decade, Canada intends to adopt the objectives of the Long Duration Storage Shot (LDSS). Canada intends to center on energy storage technologies for distant and off-grid uses in order to propel toward the LDSS target Under th...
