Fair Use Worth More to Economy Than Copyright, CCIA Says -- Copyright -- InformationWeek

  • "Much of the unprecedented economic growth of the past 10 years can actually be credited to the doctrine of fair use, as the Internet itself depends on the ability to use content in a limited and nonlicensed manner," CCIA president and CEO Ed Black said in a statement. "To stay on the edge of innovation and productivity, we must keep fair use as one of the cornerstones for creativity, innovation, and, as today's study indicates, an engine for growth for our country."
  • Recent studies indicate that the value added to the U.S. economy by copyright industries amounts to $1.3 trillion, said Black. The value added to the U.S. economy by the fair use amounts to $2.2 trillion.

Cross-Cultural Motivation

  • Provides an overview of various motivation theories, including some discussion on how these theories reflect American culture and values.
     - christyinsdesign on 2007-07-03
  • Most
    motivation theories in use today were developed in the United States by
    Americans and about Americans. Of those that were not, many have been strongly
    influenced by American theoretical work. Americans' strong emphasis on
    individualism has led to the expectancy and equity theories of motivation:
    theories that emphasize rational, individual thought as the primary basis of
    human behavior. The emphasis placed on achievement is not surprising given
    Americans' willingness to accept risk and their high concern for performance.
    The theories therefore do not offer universal explanations of motivation;
    rather, they reflect the values system of Americans.

  • The idea behind Activity Centric Worksites is to use blogging tools to facilitate focused business communication. Instead of using a blog as a tool for one person to broadcast their thoughts on “whatever”, use blogs as a platform to help people within your company communicate about what they are doing for work. To make it easy to frame the conversation, provide structure around simple concepts that make sense for your company.
