chinwag psych 9th may header

ChinwagPsych
Big data is big, obviously. It’s huge, in fact with the amount of information pouring out of social networks, ecommerce systems let alone those that run our ‘real lives’ the challenge of figuring out what’s happening is almost insurmountable.

How to go global & deal with copycats!

The German startup ecosystem is often described as a cloning ground of US business models for the rest of the world. The Samwer brothers are notorious for bringing products to dozens of countries in a matter of weeks. The counter argument is that US companies are often too slow to internationalize.
