Multiplikator Mitchell 624



In negotiations with Iran, Catherine Ashton, head of EU Foreign Policy, no shook hands with the mediator in Tehran and took great care to even touch her or look directly at him. The British had given up his clothes and wore colorful black and beige.

The talks were held last week in Istanbul, the western city of Turkey, a Muslim country, but officially secular, where mini-skirts and the necklines are common. But Ashton does not want to offend the messenger of the regime of Ahmadinejad, Saeed Jalili. And yet, her outfit was not enough for the Iranian press, which was commissioned to go to Britain for Photoshop to remove a discrete cleavage. Ashton wore a black shirt under the jacket and a necklace, but in the version of some Iranian newspapers, the shirt up to his neck and trim away. In addition, the breasts and the outline of the spokeswoman of the EU appear reduced. A web of Iranian dissidents hung the two versions.

spokeswoman MUNDO.ES Ashton confirmed the existence of the altered version, but argued that the EU diplomatic "at all times complied with the protocol." "They are international negotiations in a third ... and the high representative at all times complied with the rules. She was dressed properly, not Jalili shook hands," said the spokesman, who says the arrangement is for "domestic consumption" in a country where women are forced to wear veils.

Within the EU delegation had two other women, one responsible for EU policy and a German diplomat. In Istanbul, the Iranians did not complain about the appearance of their interlocutors. In other conversations, and have a face to other European women, including Cristina Gallach, English and spokesperson for Javier Solana, Ashton's predecessor in the long and fruitless talks with Iran over its nuclear program dark.

The two days of talks in Istanbul ended without any progress, as happened to Solana for nearly five years. The British said "disappointed" by the inflexibility of Tehran and stressed the "lack of cooperation" from Iran, which refuses to stop enriching uranium.

Web 2.0, the impetus for business

For lovers of Facebook and Twitter this is not a surprise. But some skeptics of Web 2.0, especially those responsible for IT, think twice about the usefulness of blogs and social media. That's why in December 2010 was the fourth "Investigation of the use of Web 2.0 companies," showing once again the most dominant companies that achieve measurable business benefits through the use of interactive Internet.

This McKinsey conducted a survey to 3,200 managers in different regions and industries. Of those surveyed, 66% indicated that using web 2.0 tools in your business. Also, half of those companies surveyed, 50% of its employees working with these tools, which are social networks (40%), blogs (38%) and video sharing (33%). The vast majority of these users are located in the area of \u200b\u200bmarketing (76%), followed by IT technicians (63%) and retailers (53%). Their working positions ranging from technical experts to senior executives.

Most respondents considered that the greatest business advantage offered by Web 2.0 is the fastest and most direct access to knowledge within the company and also the know-how of the partners, thus improving efficiency marketing.

In the survey, the companies recognized other advantages within the field of media costs and the satisfaction of employees, customers and partners. On average, one fifth of respondents are convinced that the use of the Web 2.0 increases turnover.

McKinsey consultants divided the companies that had the interactive tools in different groups according to the degree of connection they have. So they formed groups of companies that are just learning phase of Web 2.0, which are connected both internally-and externally and are fully connected. What is surprising is that the group is still in learning phase occupies 80% of respondents, while companies that are fully connected hold only 3%.

Most important of this research, experts say, is that all respondents agree on the importance of Web 2.0, which is probably responsible for many future corporate profits. Retrieved
