Banks have traditional organizational architectures, notably: Siloed structures. Business units tended to be built on market/product (e.g. retail, business, investment banking, etc), sometimes geography in the case of multinational banks, and within some of the units wealth/income (e.g. retail, business). Large, legacy IT systems that are slow to change. This was a major driver towards building platforms, since they realised they could not innovate digitally as fast as Fintechs, and they had to rather build platforms that could harness external fintech innovation and tap into ecosystems. Banking culture tens to be risk averse, intolerant of uncertainty, top-down command and control, and favoured internal stability over market agility, somewhat intolerant of failure and has had a blame culture.

Scenario: You are the chief operating officer (COO) of a local supermarket chain that has 10 stores within an 100-mile radius. The farm-to-table movement has been gaining momentum locally, and now it's a consumer demand as well as a good practice. This movement supports the use of local suppliers to limit the environmental impact caused by the long-distance transportation of food. It also supports small family farms that use sustainable practices, such as avoiding genetically modified organisms and pesticides or using organic fertilizers. The CEO of the supermarket chain has asked you to see if the supermarket can apply some of the farm-to-table principles to how it selects produce suppliers. Before moving too far in that direction, both you and the CEO agree that the inventory-management implications need to be understood.*What are a few different ways that the supermarket chain could incorporate farm-to-table principles into its operations while still meeting consumer demands?

Whatever brand of computer you use, it is very hard to find one that has a CPU (central processing unit) made by any other manufacturer other than Intel or AMD. For much of the time in recent years, Intel has dominated the market with its high-end, high-performance processors, while AMD focused on mid- and low-range processors - and with lower prices. In 2016, when Intel had accumulated more than 70% of the available market share, AMD was the second player with less than 20%. While Intel was comfortable and enjoying its reputation and dominance in the market, the development of new architecture in processor manufacturing in 2017 enabled AMD to achieve higher performance with much lower costs compared with their competitor. This not only allowed many customers to build powerful computers at a more reasonable price, but also enabled the software companies to develop more effective and powerful software with the ability to run heavier tasks more easily and quickly. In 2016, AMD lost USD…
