Topics

Cyber Security and Privacy

The rise in volume & sophistication of cyberattacks and the rise in parties looking to access data make this topic more relevant than ever. On the one hand side, it is crucial to consider the technological perspective, such as the methods used to protect the data. On the other hand side, the social aspects also need to be considered. How are people affected by the decrease in privacy and how can tech illiterate people protect their data? The COVID-19 crisis is also sparking debate on the topic. Are people more willing to share their data during a crisis situation? How can this data be used securely during the crisis response?

Business Intelligence & Analytics

In order to identify problems, make smarter decisions and be profitable, methods and tools are needed to turn the data into actionable insights. Business intelligence and its subsets—business analytics and data analytics—are all data management solutions used to understand historical and contemporary data and create insights. The right decisions, strategic as well as operational, have to be taken quickly to ensure a high level of quality and productivity.

Working and Studying from Home

Working and studying remotely has not been ‘normal’ to everyone. In the past years, more and more people started working from home. However, this was usually just a few days a week and the majority of the people still were physically present at their job for some amount of time. Nevertheless, when COVID-19 made its entrance, a great part of society was obligated to work and study from home. This caused technology to adjust rapidly in order to fulfil peoples and business’s needs. However, is technology already adjusted enough and how will the future look like? Is the way of working going to change ‘after’ COVID-19 or will people continue to work and study from home?

The Growing Impact of Big Tech

Big Tech companies such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and Apple have tremendously enhanced and facilitated today’s socio-cultural interaction as well as access to information. Nevertheless, those technological advancements potentially contain drawbacks. These companies can use their users data to determine their thoughts and the way they act, by showing the things they want them to see. This has impact on a lot of political, financial and ethical aspects in the real world. How does this relate to the occurrence of things like conspiracy theories, cyberbullying and the spread of fake news for example?

E-Commerce Developments & COVID-19

The impact of Covid-19 has accelerated the rise of e-commerce in order to avoid the spread of the virus. E-commerce gives value chains a high degree of organizational and locational flexibility, and firms can purchase intermediate goods and business services on a global basis. The beneficial aspects of this emerging business model have created huge opportunities for firms, customers and suppliers, but what are the side effects?

E-commerce developments & COVID-19
At first glance, the workwear and personal protection industry appears to be a traditional and not too sexy market. Perhaps that was the case, until Proforto decided to shake up the market. This pure player knows how to accelerate growth year-after-year and is well on its way to dominating the Dutch market. But how?
