Going beyond business activities and taking care of the environment can bring business benefits. Now corporate companies have realized that business activity in an environmentally responsible way is not only a legal duty but also a responsibility. Over the past few years, stakeholders increasingly require corporate organizations to become more environmentally aware and responsible. CSR activities of corporate organizations affect their bottom line and the long-term success of their business.

The environmental aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility had been debated over the past few decades and it’s a hot matter of any business house. Earlier in the traditional business model, environmental protection has been considered only in relation to the “public interest”, but now it’s a part of business. Governments of all over the world have maintained the principle of environmental responsibility for ensuring environmental conservation and management as well.

• Business Organizations Should Consider these Environmental Points

Business organizations should store waste safely and securely, make sure it is treated appropriately and also be ensured that it is collected by an authorized body such as your local authority or a licensed waste contractor.

Be sure that your business activities do not cause a statutory nuisance like producing smoke, noise, gases, odor, fumes, accumulating rubbish or light pollution which could affect someone’s health. If your business activities pose an imminent threat to the environment, then notify the relevant enforcing body to take steps to prevent the damage and if your activities also cause actual environmental damage then you must take a remedial action to repair the damage. Before directing effluent detergent and waste chemicals into sewage, you should get permission from relevant body.

• Take care of Hazardous substances before throw-outs

The business organization needs to think about the risks posed by chemicals or hazardous substances to the environment. Hazardous substances include oil, chemicals, pesticides, ozone-depleting substances, radioactive materials, electrical or electronic equipment solvents and biocides. You must ensure that your organization is aware about the environmental risks for every hazardous substance which you store, use, produce or dispose of at work.

If you are in manufacturing business then you must comply with the restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances such as lead, mercury and calcium. Manufacturers are prevented from placing products on the market with more than a certain amount of hazardous substances.

If you work with equipment containing ODS or fluorinated gases then there are requirements that you must ensure prevention and repair of leaks, checking for leakages and record keeping recovery for the purpose of recycling.

• Store of Wastage and Recycling

Business organizations must ensure that any waste they produce as a result of their business operations is stored safely and securely, treated appropriately and collected for disposal or recycling by an authorized body to do so. The regulations of waste management require all businesses to separate the following forms of commercial waste for recycling plastic, paper, metals, and glass.

• Conservation and Biodiversity to be protected by the business organizations

Biodiversity refers to all species of animals and plants. The increasing human activities cause the loss of biodiversity in the world. All types of business organization operating near these types of the area should be aware, and take responsibilities for conservation and protecting biodiversity. This not only applies to land-based industries such as farming and forestry but also to all factories, industries, offices and other business activities based on or near biodiversity areas.

Protected areas like UNESCO biospheres include local nature reserves, areas of natural beauty that needs conservation, the heritage of wildlife habitats and national parks of the country.

Technology is an ever-evolving landscape, upon which we interact with both, the business world and our everyday lives. New and more advanced forms of technology are being introduced to the world on a frequent basis.

In the past 20 years, the world has made technological breakthroughs that are leaps and bounds beyond anything previously developed. Because of this, some businesses struggle to maintain their profitability and market share, given that competitors have an advantage when it comes to software or production capabilities.

In an attempt to combat this, we’ve put together a list of the most relevant business-related tech trends that your company needs to know about if you expect to be successful in the near future.

Take careful note of these up-and-coming products and advancements that will have a major impact on all businesses moving forward.

Cybersecurity

Recently, many large-scale companies have been victims of cyber-attacks and security breaches that have not only caused a very public and negative PR storm but subsequently resulted in the loss of customers and profits.

Having a cybersecurity system that firmly protects the valuable data and information a business withholds is crucial to the well-being and success of firms in most industries. Consider your current security system and how your company could be vulnerable to these hacks from outside parties.

Protecting your most valuable assets and classified information should be a huge priority for any business in the tech or business realm. It may even be worth getting a consultation from a third-party cybersecurity company to better assess your firewall and network capabilities.

5G

Although it isn’t discussed nearly enough among the tech community, 5G will soon be a game-changer for all businesses’ performance, speed, and connectivity. The newest wireless network is expected to increase your device speeds by 10 to 20 times. Several countries around the world, including the United States, are in a tight-knit race to be the first to launch 5G.

This type of power in wireless connectivity will allow for the adoption of driverless cars, the widespread use of drones, and more advanced capabilities being added to smartphones. Businesses which have 5G will certainly have an advantage in both production and output capacity.

Introduction of Bots

Automation and robotics are quickly becoming the standard in most industries. More and more, the practice of automating back-end business tasks is being added as a supplement for employees to help them produce at a higher rate and be more efficient.

While many believe that bot technology and automation processes will soon replace a large number of jobs, this software is actually designed to take away mundane, repetitive tasks to allow workers more time to focus on larger projects and get more done during a given workday or week.

They can assist in a variety of departments as well, ranging from human resources to customer service, and can even supervise assembly-line production and correct any errors or insufficiencies.

eCommerce

Although eCommerce has been on the rise for the past two decades, it continues to be a booming industry that finds new and inventive ways to bring consumers, the products they desire, at the touch of a button.

Any business in the consumer or B2B space would benefit from optimizing their platform for eCommerce and find as many opportunities as possible to advertise and give your target demographic easy access to ads and branding exposure.

Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram have now begun adding branded content ads to users’ timelines and making it simple to click, shop and buy, all from within the apps. If applicable and relevant to your business, focusing on better eCommerce strategies could dramatically affect your bottom line in the long-term.

Blockchain

Blockchain development has become a thriving career field for many in the tech industry, and despite the fact that cryptocurrency markets have cooled in recent months, blockchain continues to blossom.

In such areas as the finance sector and distribution where the concept of a “middle man” is rendered almost useless, blockchain helps to confirm payments fast and efficiently, while ensuring their encryption. It is an ever-evolving mechanism that will most likely soon become a staple for businesses around the world.

Processing multiple types of transactions are simple with blockchain’s capabilities. Take a closer look at how blockchain could benefit your field of work and consider what the future could look like for your company if it were to have advanced technology such as this.

5G is ten times faster than 4G. It can load the websites, download songs and stream the entire movie quickly in just a few seconds. Several telecommunication giants such as Verizon, Sprint, Samsung, and AT&T are planning to launch 5G smartphones this year.

The fifth generation of connectivity acutely called 5G will be ready for prime time this year. Hardware is in the works, software is being tested, and carriers are preparing their plans to flip the switch on their 5G network in the first half of 2019.

Companies like, Qualcomm and Intel are working on 5G modems that will fit into phones, cars, smart-home devices, and other devices. These radios are in the middle of testing to make sure they’re interoperable with network operators and infrastructure companies.

5G Spectrum

5G operates on three different spectrum bands that will have a dramatic effect on everyday use.

Low-band spectrum offers great penetration and coverage area in remote areas and into buildings. It is also described as sub 1GHz spectrum.

Mid-band spectrum provides faster coverage and lower latency. Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) can be used to improve penetration and coverage area on the mid-band. It is a core component of the super-fast 5G networks. Apart from this, Beamforming can also be used to improve 5G service on the mid-band. It uses several antennas to control the direction of a wave-front by properly weighting the magnitude and phase of individual antenna signals in an array of multiple antennas. Beamforming sends a single focused signal to each and every user in the cell as well as systems to make sure they have a steady signal.

High-band spectrum can offer the highest speeds up to 10 Gbps and has very low latency. It is often referred to as mmWave, which is evolving as a key technology and the next big thing in the mobile industry. High-band spectrum provides high speed as well as coverage area and relies on small cells. Small cells with low-power base stations can cover small geographic areas, as well as small cells with carriers using mmWave for 5G, can improve overall coverage area. Mutually Beamforming and small cells can deliver very extremely fast coverage with low latency.

Each time the new generation of wireless technology has offered faster, more reliable cellular and internet connections. There are several advantages of 5^th generation technology as it offers a wide range of features which would benefit all groups of people and even a common man. Here are some of the advantages of the latest technology:

• Greater speed and Greater capacity
• Reduced Latency
• Provide high resolution and bi-directional larger bandwidth
• It will provide enormous broadcasting data in Gigabit that will support more than 60,000 connections.
• It will gather all networks on one platform
• Provide uninterrupted and consistent connectivity.
• Allow access to parallel multiple services
• Remote place access grant
• Detect natural disasters

Moreover, 5G will unlock the full potential of VR and AR technology. It requires a more capacious network with lower latency and more consistency, in other words it requires 5G. So, this new stage in wireless communication will go beyond and will bring countless revolution in near future.

When it comes to funding a start-up, many knock the doors of banks, and venture capitalist while others look towards angel investors with hope. Getting angel investors on board has its own significance and advantages as compared to venture capitalist and banks.

Angel investors have high risk taking capacity and can turn the fortune of your company to a whole 360 degree. But to convince an angel investor is not an easy task. It is thus important to understand what exactly an angel investor wants to see in your business at the time of ‘idea pitching’.

A Viable Exit Strategy

Any investor is hopeful to make a good gain in his/her investment. However, not all make profits in their investments. Any investor thus looks out for a viable exit strategy when he/she thinks that things don’t work out as per their goals. While most of the angel investors are patient enough to encourage the company in tough times too but it is natural for any lender to know how you are going to pay back if things do not executes as par plan or the company suffers losses. Giving the rights to sale the shares or gaining money from the mergers are some of the common exit strategy investors look to safe-guard their interest.

Provide the Platform to Actively Involve

Now-a-days many successful people want to invest into the areas which they have expertise in or in the areas they find thrilled about. Such investors not only want to share their money for your business but also ready to go an extra mile to make your entrepreneurial journey better and smoother. Investor these days want to have a say in your business for a greater success. They want to actively participate in developing your business by acting as a mentor for your company. By proving them such a liberty can not only make them feel valued but also helps your business with the expertise and knowledge that your angels carry.

Find the Thrill Factor

Always remember that most of the angel investors are successful entrepreneurs who have plenty of surplus money in their bank accounts. They are already wealthy enough and do not need extra money to sustain their lavish lifestyle. They just want to hear an idea and want to invest their money for the idea that gives them a thrill. However, every angel investor has his/her own reasons for investing in any start-up. Experts have categorised such investors into three categories: the economic, the hedonistic and the altruistic.

An economic angel investor is more concerned about gaining extra money on his/her investment while a hedonistic angel investor is most attracted with the excitement of creating something new. Contrary, an altruistic angel investor is thrilled by helping the community with the success of start-up in terms of more job creation, allied economic progress and other. Therefore, it is necessary to do some basic research on knowing investor’s thrill factor so that you can give extra stress on it during the investment pitch.

No Hockey Sticks

Entrepreneurs always want to impress investors with fascinating numbers concerning their future growth. Experts believe 90% of the businesses show dramatic initial growth numbers that most of the times go off-the-charts. Many refer to it as hockey stick and 99% of the time it does not make any impact on investors. Instead, unrealistic projections and unrealistic numbers can turn-off the mood of your angel and made them think again about investing in your idea. Smart investors like realistic numbers and impress by real-projections.

An Adept Management Team

Leadership is what ultimately decides the future course of action for any enterprise. Investors are thus very much keen to know more about the people on your company’s board. Angel investors get impressed if they see your business is in the hands of people who are knowledgeable, competent and trustworthy. A solid management team of numerous people who have proficiency in different aspects of business like marketing, sales, manufacturing, managing people and accounts creates a positive impression on investors’ mind. Having such adept professionals on board with rich industry experience develops confidence amongst investors into your company’s future.

Angel Investors Want Good Return

Angel investors have many other mediums to invest their money like stocks, mutual funds and other financial instruments. However, when someone invests in any start-up, his/her expectation is much more than just getting money back after a stipulated period of time. Angel investors have high risk taking capacity and usually look for a much higher returns on their investment as they can get from the stock market. According to Allan Riding, a leading expert on angel investing- “For every dollar that an angel invests into a company, he or she would like to take seven dollars out, after taxes, in seven year.” Therefore, if your idea does not promise a good returns over a period of significant time then it create problem convincing your angels.

A Full-proof Business Plan

Angel investors get attracted more towards a company that have a solid business plans which can help company to survive even in the tough times. Such investors want to see a developed vision for your company which can help it to flourish all the times. They want to see that you have given though to every detail required to run a smooth business like financial projections, detailed marketing plans, and specifics about market.

In totality, if you have an idea that has the potential to revolutionize the industry or has the potential to become an industry standard after some time can make the angel investors to believe in your idea. Therefore, do a thorough check about the feasibility and economic prosperity of your idea before pitching your idea in front of angel investors.

Bosch, a multinational engineering and technology company is currently working on a new technology that will allow users to view 3D images without using glasses. The company focuses on its future version of an in-car digital display system.

Bosch always remained a trendsetter for vehicle displays whether it’s of curved displays, freely configurable ones, or the ones equipped with organic LEDs, and now the company is about to bring 3D displays.

The 3D display is to be fitted with a passive 3D display technology which will enable the viewers to see all 3D effects without wearing 3D-glasses. This display will also include eye-tracking skip technology (in which it is not necessary to look at the screen from a specific direction to view 3D images), which remains a key feature for glasses-free 3D displays. The fundamental guiding principle used in most 3D displays provides instant and easily noticeable information so that the focus of drivers remains constant while driving.

Dr. Steffen Berns, the President of Bosch Car Multimedia states, “Displays are increasingly becoming interactive systems that can better anticipate drivers’ individual needs.” He added, “There is huge business potential for Bosch here.”

According to Bosch, 3D visual effects are necessary for in-car display in order to catch the attention of driver towards the crucial alerts, to view the exact area the driver is working on while parking the vehicle, and to recognize the accurate path, turns and corners while navigating through the navigation system.

Steffen further said, “The display’s depth of field means drivers can grasp important visual information faster, whether from an assistance system or a traffic-jam alert. Alerts that seem to jump out of the display are much more obvious and urgent.”

Market analysts are expecting a 2X growth from $15 billion to $30 billion in global vehicle display market by 2025.

Many entrepreneurs and business owners make one common blunder in their marketing efforts, and that’s focusing only on how to attract new customers. While the best marketing strategies can have low response rates, turning your attention to an already captive audience can deliver impressive results.

Your ability to retain existing customers can make or break your business. Studies show that people who have already made a purchase from your company are more likely to do so again. So along with trying to bring in new customers, work on a retention strategy that builds lifetime value for existing ones.

Here are some effective ways to do this:

1. Learn What Customers Want – The first step to meeting anyone’s expectations is knowing what they are, and collecting this information has now become easier than ever. You can use online survey software to ask existing customers what they would like to see from your business, and then work on providing it to them.
2. Set Realistic Expectations – While ‘under promise and over deliver’ is a popular business strategy, you need to deal with customer expectations realistically. Be clear about what people can expect, based on what you can consistently deliver. This way, you won’t burn out trying to always deliver more than you promised.
3. But, Try to Exceed Them – Meeting expectations is great, but going above and beyond is even better. Whenever possible, aim for providing better service than you’ve promised, especially with existing customers. This is a great way to show them you value their business, and it also creates a stronger sense of loyalty to you.
4. Prioritize Customer Service – Businesses with excellent customer service have better retention rates, simply because customer satisfaction is higher. Respond to queries, issues and feedback promptly, and if you promise a follow-up, do it in time. Being kind and friendly in your interactions will also be remembered!
5. Reward Desired Behavior – If your customers are bringing in more business for you through word-of-mouth advertising, reward them for it. Set up loyalty programs with reward points or discount coupons for people who make repeat purchases, review your company online, share your social media pages, etc.
6. Ask for Advice & Feedback – Be proactive about collecting feedback from existing customers and asking them for advice on how you can improve. Then, act on it. Along with helping you provide better service, this also makes customers feel valued and respected, thus strengthening their bond with your company.
7. Increase Personal Interactions – In a time when everything is automated, the personal touch aspect can set you apart. Use first names while communicating with customers, send an email on their birthday, recommend products they might be interested in, and celebrate your successes with them as well. Keep in touch!

Brand loyalty means repeat business, which can have a huge impact on your bottom line. As an entrepreneur, give existing customers the same importance as new ones. The results will be worth it!
