The synergy of IT and expectations vs reality
More and more people are having troubles in time management - there're lots of e-mails coming, which require attention and don't allow us to get done with longer and more profound work, new software in our computers and mobile phones that need training and getting used to... How could we benefit from the new softwares? Shouldn't they make our lives easier and leave us more time for leasure, pleasure and social life? We'll have an event tomorrow evening at ICT Demo Center starting at 16:00, let's see whether or not they can open our eyes and give us some answers.
Elections are coming up in March, then wouldn't it be a good time to get to know what do the parties propose for their next seating term - more prosperity, higher taxes, what are their thoughts on further liberalization of the market and so forth. Let us meet the high representatives of leading parties and ask them in person. Coming up, this Thursday at 14:00 in Nordic Hotel Forum.
See you! Merli Lindberg |

- Danish food ingredient and enzyme giant Danisco this week received a 36 billion kroner takeover bid from US-based chemical producer DuPont. While this is one of the biggest business deals in Danish history, it looks like 2011 will see several other such acquisitions by international companies.
