Chapter 39: Regional Innovation Governance
Martin Heidenreich and Knut Koschatzky
Martin Heidenreich and Knut Koschatzky Economic regions can be an efficient way of organizing distributed innovation processes which require the development, accumulation and recombination of heterogeneous knowledge under conditions of economic, technical and scientific uncertainties. These advantages have been explained by transaction cost savings; by the private or public provision of products, services and qualifications that fit the specific needs of the regional companies; by the opportunity to establish and stabilize interaction-based trust relationships; or by learning advantages, because spatial proximity is supposed to facilitate the exchange of implicit, experience-based, uncodified knowledge and the recombination of previous knowledge (Scott, 1998; Cooke, 2002a). Regional institutions play a crucial role for these advantages, because they may contribute to the provision of 'local collective competition goods' (for example qualified employees, research and development services, technology transfer, reliable legal or technological norms, information on new markets and technologies, consultancy and other 'real services'; see Le Galès and Voelzkow, 2001). Regional governance structures, composed of: 'a control and regulatory structure that brings governmental and societal actors together, has both formal and informal levels, and is characterised by hierarchical, competitive, and cooperative inter-actor relations' (Benz, 2001), are therefore crucial for the innovative capabilities of a region. In the following, we will discuss first this concept of regional (innovation) governance, then the role of regional governance structures in different theoretical approaches, and finally the link between regional policy, regional learning and regional governance structures.

The Rebuild Rural Coalition released a one-pager supporting the infrastructure needs at land-grant institutions. The coalition is asking for $10 billion dedicated to agricultural research facilities: $1 billion per year over the next 10 years.
Senate Ag Committee reviews research programs
The Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee held a hearing on June 15 to review agricultural research programs as part of their preparations for the 2018 Farm Bill. Witnesses included:
• Dr. Ann Bartuska – Acting Deputy Under Secretary, Research, Education & Economics, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC
• Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy – Director, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC
• Dr. Chavonda Jacobs-Young – Administrator, Agricultural Research Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC
• Dr. Sally Rockey – Executive Director, Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research, Washington, DC
• Dr. John Floros – Dean and Director, College of Agriculture and K-State Research and Extension, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS
• Mr. Gary McMurray – Division Chief, Food Processing Technology Division, Georgia Tech Research Institute, Atlanta, GA
• Dr. Kerry Hartman – Academic Dean and Sciences Chair, Environmental Sciences, Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College, New Town, ND
• Mr. Steve Wellman – Farmer, Wellman Farms Inc., Syracuse, NE
The land-grant system received many positive mentions in the hearing. In his opening statement, Chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS) said, "Because of the early investments U.S. leaders made in agriculture research and extension efforts, our producers are better equipped to manage through droughts, disease, floods, fires, and a great deal more that mother nature throws at them." Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) expressed concern that other countries were beginning to outpace the U.S. in research funding, "Over the past decade, we have seen China, India, and Brazil significantly increase their investment in Ag research. China now has a 2-to-1 advantage over the U.S. in critical public investments… If we allow our country to slip behind in agricultural research, our farmers could lose their global competitiveness."
In the question and answer portion of the hearing, Chairman Roberts asked specifically about wheat research currently being conducted using funding from the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). He also asked the representative from the Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research (FFAR) how they plan to generate new funding. Dr. Rockey answered saying the model defined in the farm bill only works when the foundation has a continued financial investment from Congress in order to leverage non-federal dollars.
Answering a question about AFRI resources asked by Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Dr. Ramaswamy said over the last three years, AFRI has received over 3000 applications for funding. Of those, panels have recommended over 1200 projects to be funded, but resources were only available to fund 480 of those projects. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) expressed support for NIFA's collaboration with other federal agencies. Dr. Ramaswamy said that for every dollar NIFA invests, it leverages $5 to $10 from those other agencies. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) shared a personal anecdote about being helped by an agriculture extension agent regarding fruit tree pruning, and continued saying the extension services provided by the land-grant system are important. Dr. Ramaswamy said extension is a model that the rest of the world wants to emulate and that the systems' ability to translate knowledge and deliver that knowledge is the reason for the successful U.S. agricultural enterprise. He continued saying that U.S. budgets at all levels have declined, causing extension's footprint nationwide to decrease by 30%. Therefore, rather than the system having one office in every county, some states now have one office serving multiple counties, which causes a challenge in delivering information. Senator John Hoeven (R-ND), Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee expressed support for increased funding for agricultural research and asked how the system is able to leverage private and other public funding. Dr. Ramaswamy highlighted the matching requirements within the capacity and competitive programs at NIFA.
In the second panel, Ranking Member Stabenow and Senator Hoeven asked about NIFA's partnerships with tribal colleges. Chairman Roberts asked the representative from Georgia Tech about the matching requirements that make it difficult for institutions like his to receive USDA research grants. Dr. McMurray said his institution does not receive discretionary funding from the state, so there is not a pot of money they can readily use to be able to provide the matching requirement to leverage federal dollars.
Chairman Roberts closed the hearing by saying research is an integral tool that can help solve the larger macroeconomic problems agriculture faces.

Melbourne - Serena Williams will not give up on her chase for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title and believes she can still do it, despite crashing out of the Australian Open on Friday.
The 38-year-old American legend has been stuck on 23 since winning in Melbourne in 2017, when she was pregnant with daughter Olympia.
She has lost four Slam finals since then, but this time did not get close, dumped out in the third round by China's 27th seed Wang Qiang.
Williams, who was downbeat but not broken, said she will be back on the practice court on Saturday.
"I just made far too many errors to be a professional athlete today," she said.
"I definitely do believe or I wouldn't be on tour," added Williams when asked if she thinks she can still reach Australian Margaret Court's 24 Slams record.
"I don't play just to have fun. To lose is really not fun."
Williams dropped just one game in beating Wang in the quarter-finals at the US Open last year, but was stunned 6-4, 6-7 (2/7), 7-5 on Friday.
"She served well, I didn't return like Serena," said Williams, seeded eighth in Melbourne but who was the strong favourite, especially with Court's record on the line.
"If we were just honest with ourselves, it's all on my shoulders. I lost that match.
"Like I said, it's not about the tournament, it's just like I can't play like that.
"I literally can't do that again. That's unprofessional. It's not cool."
Williams stressed that defeat was "not the end of the world", but admitted that she was angry and hurting inside as much as any defeat in her long and glorious career.
"I am just a better actress, as I always say now," she said.
"I'm no happier than I was 10 years ago, but I just have to pretend like I don't want to punch the wall, but in reality, I do."
Results on day five of the Australian Open Grand Slam at Melbourne Park on Friday (x denotes seeding):
Round 3
Marton Fucsovics (HUN) bt Tommy Paul (USA) 6-1, 6-1, 6-4
Diego Schwartzman (ARG x14) bt Dusan Lajovic (SRB x24) 6-2, 6-3, 7-6 (9/7)
Novak Djokovic (SRB x2) bt Yoshihito Nishioka (JPN) 6-3, 6-2, 6-2
Round 3
Ashleigh Barty (AUS x1) bt Elena Rybakina (KAZ x29) 6-3, 6-2
Petra Kvitova (CZE x7) bt Ekaterina Alexandrova (RUS x25) 6-1, 6-2
Ons Jabeur (TUN) bt Caroline Wozniacki (DEN) 7-5, 3-6, 7-5
Alison Riske (USA x18) bt Julia Georges (GER) 1-6, 7-6 (7/4), 6-2
Maria Sakkari (GRE x22) bt Madison Keys (USA x10) 6-4, 6-4
Wang Qiang (CHN x27) bt Serena Williams (USA x8) 6-4, 6-7 (2/7), 7-5

Here's how this event unfolded..cell phone photos below
While walking over to meet my wife at Trader Joe's in Rancho Santa Margarita, I was cautioned by a store employee to watch out for an injured bird who stood upright but unable to fly and lay on a store entrance floor mat. Initially, the bird appeared to have a broken wing as one was folded under her belly. The woman mentioned her boyfirend was coming but that she would turn the bird over to me since I had indicated I was an avid birder. Initially, I made the error of thinking this was a Lesser Goldfinch. Much to my surprise it was a female Wilson's Warbler. The bird is around from Spring to Fall here in socal and very active high in the trees. They are next to impossible to photograph without getting what we birders call "Warbler Neck". Now I've got one in a box in rescue mode at the base of my feet. I called a few friends and one had suggested to post in the Orange County Yahoo birding group in which I did indicating a need for assistance. Within moments the replies were coming in. As we drove home, the bird jumped out of the makeshift box and into a portal in our console. We were about 3 blocks from the house and she began flying around in the car..oh joy. We kept our cool and pleased with this good sign but how we wanted to assist and nurture anyway we could. After we pulled in our driveway we opened all 4 of our car doors and freed the female Wilson's Warbler. Sad to let her go yet the right thing to do.
We estimate she flew into a store window and may have suffered a concussion. A local birder wrote when this happens they typically sustain brain injury and soon die. We'll never know nor do we want to know but we are so grateful to have such a unique moment occur in our lives.

Joint Opinions
Patients Ought To Be Skeptical Of Proposed CBD-Only Legislation — Here's Why
State lawmakers who have steadfastly opposed the legalization of medical marijuana are suddenly singing the praises of cannabidiol. What gives?
Lawmakers in a growing number of states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Utah, and Wisconsin, are saying no to medical cannabis but yes to cannabidiol, a naturally occurring compound in the plant. But is this new direction in the best interest of patients?
Cannabidiol, also known as CBD, is one of an estimated 100 unique, biologically active compounds present in the marijuana plant. First discovered in 1940 (though its specific chemical structure was not identified until 1963), CBD is the most studied cannabinoid after delta-9-THC.
Like THC, the compound acts on the endogenous cannabinoid system to stimulate a variety of potentially beneficial therapeutic effects. (Some of these more notable effects include anti-anxiety, anti-convulsant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activities.) Unlike THC, cannabidiol is not psychoactive. Therefore, it does not trigger the so-called marijuana high. In fact, studies show that CBD tempers THC's psychoactivity.
It is this latter effect that has gotten the attention of lawmakers, many of whom have steadfastly opposed any liberalization of medical marijuana access but are now pushing to legalize strains of cannabis and extracts high in CBD content. Even career prohibitionists, like Project SAM's Kevin Sabet, have begun to acknowledge CBD's therapeutic qualities while continuing to dismiss the notion that the plant itself possesses any therapeutic value. But is sacrificing the whole plant in lieu of a single compound—even one as promising as CBD—an ideal alternative for patients? Not by a long shot. Here's why.
Despite compelling anecdotal reports of young children successfully using CBD to offset symptoms of otherwise intractable pediatric epilepsy such as Dravet Syndrome, no controlled clinical studies have been concluded as of yet documenting the compound's efficacy for this condition in this specific patient population. There are, however, a limited number of controlled trials performed assessing the use of CBD in adults with more conventional forms of the disease. Specifically, a pair of controlled trials published in 1980 reported the substance possesses some moderate effectiveness as an anti-convulsant. But those studies involved only 16 total subjects, and no additional controlled trials have replicated these preliminary findings.
This is because cannabidiol is classified as a Schedule I substance, making it exceedingly difficult for researchers to study in controlled clinical settings. As a result, most of the nearly 1,200 papers available on CBD focus on the substance's effects in animals or in a petri-dish. As for the handful of human trials assessing CBD in isolation, these are primarily studies of the compound's safety, not efficacy. (Two notable exceptions are a 2012 German study, which found CBD administration limited psychotic episodes in patients with acute schizophrenia on par with the drug amisulpride, but possessed a markedly superior side-effect profile, and a 2011 Brazilian study reporting that CBD reduces anxiety in subjects with social anxiety disorder.)
By comparison, there is a far greater pool of controlled clinical studies documenting the efficacy of either whole plant marijuana and/or THC. A 2012 review of a series of recently conducted trials by the University of California to evaluate the effectiveness of whole smoked marijuana in hundreds of patients concluded that sufficient clinical research has now been performed to validate the plant's therapeutic efficacy. "Based on evidence currently available the Schedule I classification is not tenable," the authors determined. "It is not accurate that cannabis has no medical value."
Could investigators draw a similar conclusion acknowledging the medical value of CBD alone? It's possible they could, but far from certain. That is because at this time the compound's therapeutic efficacy has yet to be consistently documented in controlled clinical settings involving a significant number of people—a situation that exists largely because, until now, clinical researchers have been uninterested in studying its effects in humans and the federal government has made it cumbersome to conduct such studies.
Further, patients have long proclaimed that whole plant cannabis is preferable to its isolated components, such as THC (which is available by prescription in synthetic form as the FDA-approved drug Marinol). Scientific evidence is beginning to confirm their assumption, finding that various naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenoids (organic plant compounds that possess aromatic qualities) work synergistically with one another to achieve maximum health benefits.
According to a 2011 literature review published in the British Journal of Pharmacology, several studies now lend credence to the so-called entourage effect of whole-plant cannabis. "Considered ensemble," the paper concludes, "the preceding body of information supports the concept that selective breeding of cannabis chemotypes rich in ameliorative phytocannabinoid and terpenoid content offer complementary pharmacological activities that may strengthen and broaden clinical applications and improve the therapeutic index of cannabis extracts containing THC, or other base phytocannabinoids."
CNN commentator and neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta, who provided national attention to the potential prowess of CBD in a widely watched television documentary which aired last year, recently drew a similar conclusion. In an interview with BusinessInsider.com, Gupta affirmed that various cannabinoids in the plant, including THC and CBD, "work in concert with one another." He concluded, "Just taking CBD out and using it alone doesn't seem to work as well as when it is with all the other compounds." Presently, the only regulated pharmaceutical product containing CBD available anywhere in the world, Sativex, contains not cannabidiol in isolation, but nearly equal ratios of THC and CBD along with other natural components of the cannabis plant.
If the plant ain't broke, why fix it?
For longtime marijuana law reformers, the ongoing political conversation surrounding CBD is instructive. It makes it clear that many politicians' public opposition to the idea of patients using marijuana therapeutically isn't because of supposed unanswered questions surrounding the plant's safety or efficacy. Rather, it is because lawmakers oppose the idea of some people getting high from a naturally growing herb. (The fact that patients can get equally high or even higher from FDA-approved synthetic THC has, for whatever reason, never been an expressed concern of either lawmakers or prohibitionists.) After all, the very same politicians who argue that marijuana isn't medicine because it hasn't been approved by the FDA or who allege that the substance hasn't yet been subjected to sufficient scientific scrutiny utter no such public objections to the idea of legalizing patient access to CBD – a schedule I compound that hasn't been reviewed, much less approved by the FDA, and that has been clinically studied far less than cannabis.
Perhaps most ironically is that were it not for the advent of legalized whole plant marijuana, a policy change publicly opposed by many present day CBD-only political advocates, lawmakers (and anti-pot groups like SAM) today wouldn't be aware of CBD, much less advocating for it. The reality is that it was the stakeholders in medical marijuana states, and those who provide for them, who have done the most to explore and promote cannabidiol as a legitimate therapeutic agent. And they were able to do so because they, unlike most federally licensed medical researchers, had access to the whole plant.
We've been down this road before. Not long ago, lawmakers and anti-marijuana zealots were dismissing patients' desire to access the marijuana plant because they alleged that the THC-pill Marinol could adequately meet patients' needs. Patients and their advocates were skeptical of lawmakers' claims then, and properly so. Now many of these same politicians are once again dismissing patients' calls for whole plant medicine by claiming that products and strains containing CBD alone only will suffice. Patients and their advocates ought to be equally skeptical once again.
Ultimately, patients should not be unnecessarily forced to decide between either accessing the whole plant or its isolated components. They should have safe, legal access to both, and politicians, even well-intentioned ones, should not restrict patients' right to choose the most suitable option.

Great article but lawmakers couldn't care less about "people getting high from a naturally growing herb". They care about the campaign contributions they'll receive from the pharmaceutical companies planning to mass produce and sell isolated CBD medication.
Hi there, i read your blog occasionally and i own a
similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam feedback?
If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can
advise? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any
assistance is very much appreciated.
I grow a CBD rich strain of cannabis here in Northern California……I can attest to the validity of the article……I juice with the FRESH "ACDC" strain combined with oranges to mask that nasty a$$ taste!!!……I use it for my migraine headaches and fibromyalgia……it is also a powerful NATURAL anti-inflammatory…..as well as dozens of other things to other patients……the FULL cannabis profile is important to consider when attempting to treat MAJOR diseases with cannabis oil or juice…….cancer patients need a more balanced profile, with some THC……as THC and CBD both cause "apoptis" in cancer cells(meaning they re-program them to turn off and die…..)…yet BOTH CBD and THC have other unique properties which interact with the hundreds of other cannabinoids and turpinoids………I can understand why researchers would be a little intimidated by this plant……it has over 80 cannabinoids and over 400 other organic compounds…….. both THC and CBD, protect healthy flesh and organs from synthetic drug use…..one more thing?? ……you can JUICE any strain fresh and NOT have to worry about getting high(if you don't want to)…..because THC delta 9 doesn't actually form until the plant is dried…….when it is fresh it is still THC A……(acid)…… I juice ounces of the most psycho-actively potent strains, and don't ever feel a THING!!! except a slight body buzz, like a POWERFUL natural anti-inflammatory is coursing through my veins…cheers!!
Thank you Justin for the great information. It was informative, written well and right to the point. We suffer from some of the same illnesses.
Do you also get lactic acid knots, a-build up in your body? I do…. The areas with the largest and hardest knots are the trigger points, tendons and muscles closest to and leading up to the migraine area, more so on the left side of my body. They have been as big and deep as a baseball. Massage therapy helps if you keep going. But insurance and the doctor well you know how that goes, so I go when I can. My hands, legs and feet swell and go numb at times, especially the left foot and ankle. Everything has been tested so this is just the way it is.
I am currently living in Florida, which as you probably know has this issue on the ballot. Hopefully this will pass so I can give this a try. It would probably be the best use for the juicer.
Thanks again for the info.
Take Care,
Thank you, very much, for your insights on the NORML website. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.
I have been a pain patient for over 32 yrs, and I have been through ALL the drugs on (& off) the market. I HAVE to say that smoking marijuana has helped me tremendously w/out the side effects of the narcotics……the craziness, still having pain & not in control of my life….are only 3 things when in reality there is soooo much more that make narcotics much, much worse!!!!!!
People NEED to be MORE aware of the new drug…..MORE potent than Oxycodone,Morphine, etc……can't remember the name….zycontin maybe….?????
Florida has proposed a bill for charlottes web which is loaded with cbd with hardly a trace of thc. CBD's may work for some conditions but what about us that suffer from pain, PTSD, anxiety and so on,who have to take their medicine in pill form from the government rather than a natural medicine in the form of marijuana. String you out on strong pharmaceuticals is legal whereas if I smoke a joint to releave my symptoms I'm breaking the law. It's big brother in our pockets. There's something wrong with this picture.
I've been having uncontrolled seizures since i was 16 I'm now 26& hv been on 15 different meds & none seem 2 control my seizures bt i must say that cannabis is the best medicine 4 me cause ijus dnt seem 2 hv seizures like i do w/o it. I do honestly love Mary Jane if i could marry her i would she jus seems 2 help me better than these other meds. Its been 10yrs & they still cnt tell me y i hv tha seizures so yea still havn uncontrolled seizures bt that cannabis does hold me better.
Follow the money. The moneyed interests in Big Pharma are the ones who stand to profit from the commercial extraction, standardization, distribution, and sale of fractional products. It's the same old song and dance that it's been for years. I'd not be surprised in the least if you traced some back-door campaign contributions to those promulgating "component cannabis".
Sad, really.
I hate to say this, BUT, you are right!
Pharma's are trying to figure out how and where they can get the biggest piece of the pie! Then the lobbyists will swoop in,do there smear job and that state(s)will be STUCK!!!
This is like saying taking vitamin supplements is better for you than eating the whole vegetable.
I believe the aforementioned lawmakers and zealots back Marinol and CBD products to protect their financial interests. People would still not be allowed to grow their own medicine, and therefore, would still be forced to go through the Government to get their medication. It's all about money, guys and girls. Can't have you growing your own free, renewable miracle that you can develop into just about anything, including medicine…
My child has several situational anxieties and her former Psychiatrist was trying to change her diagnosis from ADD to Bipolar but she was then 18 and refused any more medication. She self mediates with cannabis and I must admit, she does better socially and in the workplace with it. I've stopped working against it so much.

Stephen King has a new least favourite word and he wants you to stop using it
This isn't the first time Stephen King has banned a particular word or phrase.
Anyone who's read his excellent book On Writing will know he has more than a few pet peeves, and in recent years he's taken to expressing these on Twitter.
Here's an example from last year:
Aspiring fiction writer? Cool! Here are 2 phrases you must NEVER use: "for a long moment" and "for some reason." Find another way!
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) February 22, 2017
Anyway, flash forward to Sunday night and he's clearly discovered a new one. Writers, take note.
Note to writers: "Amazing" is very tired. "Amazing" needs a long vacation. Therefore, please don't write about your amazing party, your amazing girlfriend's amazing dress, or your amazing vacation. Something more pungent & specific, please.
— Stephen King (@StephenKing) October 29, 2018
RIP, amazing.
Luckily, plenty of people have since been on hand to offer alternatives.

This one has to be the winner, though.
My four-year-old granddaughter used "spectacuous!" the other day. I thought it fit the situation quite nicely.

It is offering special deals at 300 hotels across Europe (including the UK), Middle East and Africa, but only at weekends. Many rooms are discounted by 30%, except for Hampton by Hilton hotels where the maximum discount is 15%.
The rates are valid for weekend stays until 3rd July. You will also find that some hotels have loaded these rates for weekday stays.
As usual with Hilton sales, you need to take the '30% discount' with a pinch of salt. This is based on the discount from 'Best Available Rate' for the same day. However, these sale rates require pre-payment and are non-refundable. A 'Best Available Rate' room is cancellable without charge.
If you have any weekends away planned between now and 3rd July, you should take a look at these offers to see if there is anything of interest. The 'flash sale' website is here.
Marriott launching new price guarantee
IHG did it, Hilton did it – and now Marriott is jumping in too.
Starting on 11th April, Marriott will be offering exclusive online rates at all of its properties – across all of its many brands – to anyone who books online via its own website.
You will have to be a Marriott Rewards member to access these prices but, as membership is free, that is not a major hurdle. It guarantees that you will pay less than you would on Expedia, hotels.com etc.
Free wi-fi will also remain an exclusive benefit for guests who book directly with Marriott, as is the ability to earn Marriott Rewards points and status.

Brass of the Month

April 2018,William & Joan Strode, 1649, Shepton Mallet, Somerset
This month's brass was represented by a replica in the Society's 1996 Exhibition 'Crown and Commonwealth' at the Commandery in Worcester. It is illustrated here from that replica. The original brass is somewhat darker even though it was cleaned before 1933, when it was photographed for A B Connor's Monumental Brasses in Somerset, published in twenty-
As a colonel in the parliamentary army during the Civil War, William Strode was only too familiar with the wearing of the sort of armour he is depicted wearing. He had also been Member of Parliament for Ilchester until 1648, when he was ejected during Pride's Purge, arrested and imprisoned as a notorious firebrand. He was the third son of a Shepton Mallet clothier, also named William Strode, and followed in his father's footsteps as a cloth merchant. He must have been successful in his business as he was able to marry the daughter and heir of another clothier, Joan, when she was in her mid-
The brass that William Strode had made after Joan's death in 1649 was a very substantial rectangular plate that depicts their family, although those children who had died are represented both by gravestones in the foreground, with shields of arms for the boys and a lozenge of arms for the one dead daughter, and heads wearing heavenly crowns peering over the walls of the chapel. William, with his sons behind him, and Joan, her daughters behind her, kneel either end of a tomb-
The Strode family illustrates the divisions caused by the fracture between the monarchy and parliament: George Strode, William's brother, had made his way to London and done well. He whole-

Providing enhanced customer experiences has not typically been the primary focus for most manufacturers. Instead, most of the consumer-oriented efforts were left to retail and channel partners.
But in today's hyper-competitive market, customer-centricity has become just as important in the business-to-business (B2B) environment. With recent technology advancements, manufacturers now have an opportunity to not only capture more customer data, but to analyze it in a way to better position their business for success. This process is known as the shift from B2B to B2B2C.
The key to becoming a customer-centric organization is transforming the business to a digital, data-driven enterprise. Manufacturers need to connect the entire supply chain – from the production floor to channel partners and, ultimately, the consumer.
Connecting the business involves collecting data throughout the organization and combining enterprise resource planning (ERP) with powerful data analytics capabilities. Done right, this will enable manufacturers to:
Gain better customer insight
Leveraging business intelligence and data analytics gives manufacturers better insight into their consumer base by providing a 360-degree view of the customer. Predictive capabilities allow for more robust customer segmentation and more accurate demand forecasting by transforming data into actionable insight, so manufacturers can offer what the customer wants.
Foster channel partner relationships
Much of a manufacturer's success depends on channel partners. A successful partner ecosystem is based on a value-based strategy that is enabled by transparency and accountability across all touch-points. Implementing the right technology environment supports streamlined processes, improved visibility and deeper collaboration for a more connected supply chain.
Enable agility and innovation
Bringing data and processes together and enabling visibility across the entire supply chain enables manufacturers to be more agile in responding to market change. Through enhanced transparency and collaboration, manufacturers can bring products to market faster, driving increased revenue.
The bottom line is that manufacturers must think more like retailers and focus on their end consumers – tracking how they use their products and how they engage with the company. Using the right data and business intelligence tools, manufacturers can better understand and market to their specific customer segments by using predictive models and algorithms.
Manufacturers who are able to integrate this type of data into their product development and customer service processes will create a significant competitive advantage. By leveraging the right technologies, manufacturers can provide enhanced customer engagement that drives growth.

Larry Fink is worried about two impending crises in the US.
During an interview at Yahoo Finance's All Markets summit, Fink identified two long-term problems that are looming over the US economy.
One, according to Fink, is the deficiency of infrastructure — roads, bridges, and more — in the US.
"It's now getting late for preparing cities for new technologies," said Fink during an interview with Yahoo Finance editor-in-chief Andy Serwer.
Fink noted that much of the infrastructure spending is currently going towards repairing existing roads and bridges, and not towards the large-scale investments needed for the US to compete in the future.
The infrastructure issue was one of the main concerns Fink brought up during the meeting between business leaders and President Donald Trump on Friday, he said. Fink also reiterated his commitment to working with Trump to help on infrastructure despite, as Serwer noted, being a Democrat.
The second, said Fink, is the pending retirement crisis facing Americans.
The BlackRock CEO said that American investors have "too much in cash" and low interest rates are not allowing savers to generate enough capital to retire.
Additionally, the public pensions that once helped people retire are facing their own issues since the state and local governments that once funded them are facing funding short falls while also having to deal with deficient infrastructure.
Fink has mentioned the retirement crisis before in his annual letter to the CEOs of every S&P 500 company in January.
"If we are going to solve the retirement crisis — and help workers adjust to a globalized world — businesses need to hold themselves to a high standard and act with the conviction that retirement security is a matter of shared economic security," said Fink in the letter.
During the discussion, Fink also noted that he sees "dark shadows" in the market as governments pull back from global trade and that the looming threat to jobs from automation could lead to instability in the future.
All of this has led to a "bi-polar world" in which stocks could face "setbacks" and the US Treasury 10-year yield could drop under 2% or jump over 4%, depending on the policies from President Donald Trump, Fink said.

Ask Mr. Outdoors: Best Way to Clean a Down Sleeping Bag Is in the Tub
Robert Samuels
(via e-mail)
A: The best way to get a goose down bag or cover clean is to wash it at home, in a bathtub. Fill the tub with warm water and use a soap specially formulated for down, which you can buy at many outdoor recreation retailers. Follow instructions on the soap container and dry in a commercial drum dryer at low heat. Put a tennis shoe inside a sock in the dryer to fluff the down.
Do you have a question for Mr. Outdoors? If so, e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com. He'll print your questions here every week — and if he can't find an answer, he'll make something up (Actually, he'll find an expert to answer your query.).

NEW YORK — China's premier promised to resume Chinese imports of U.S. beef soon, calling it a sign of Beijing's sincerity to improve commercial ties with the U.S.
Speaking to U.S. business groups in New York on Tuesday night, Premier Li Keqiang said China would soon allow imports of U.S. beef. "We also recognize that the United States has very good beef, so why should we deny Chinese customers this choice?" Li said.
Though the premier didn't give a specific timetable, trade groups have previously said imports may resume before the end of the year. China has had a ban in place on most U.S. beef imports since 2003 when mad-cow disease was found in some American beef cattle.

Rep. Beau LaFave today introduced a measure to help implement President Trump's payroll tax holiday and economic stimulus plan in Michigan.
It's a significant step toward ensuring the benefits of the President's plan reach Michiganders, helping them cope with the economic turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic. LaFave's bill would implement the temporary deferral of certain payroll tax deductions for many state of Michigan government employees – leaving more money in their paychecks and stimulating the economy.
"This is a plan that puts more money in Michiganders' pockets – helping people get through the economic troubles sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic and providing an economic boost across the state," said LaFave, of Iron Mountain. "I believe all Michigan workers deserve relief and I encourage all employers to participate in this federal program, but mandating that would not be appropriate. Implementing this plan for state employees, however, sets a good example – one I hope other job providers will follow to give their employees much-needed and deserved relief in these difficult times."
LaFave's bill is based on a memorandum issued by the Trump administration in August. The Trump memorandum includes an order that allows postponement of the collection of certain Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes from Sept. 1 through Dec. 31 for individuals earning less than $104,000 annually, or less than $2,000 per week.
Employer participation is not mandated under the Trump order, but LaFave's proposal would implement it for the state of Michigan's executive and legislative branches.
"The state is a large employer with significant economic impact in communities across Michigan," LaFave said. "This would be a good way to stimulate the economy and help businesses and workers well beyond state government."
The legislation is House Bill 6262.
State Reps. Beau LaFave, of Iron Mountain, Greg Markkanen, of Hancock, and State Sen. Ed McBroom, of Vulcan, today said they all wholeheartedly support the Trump Administration's decision to remove the gray wolf from the U.S. Endangered Species Act list.
State Rep. Beau LaFave, of Iron Mountain, today said he is frustrated that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer vetoed his bill to help hunters with physical disabilities. LaFave's measure, House Bill 4332, would have allowed the use of air-powered bows for firearm season. Hunters with specific disabilities would have been allowed to apply for a permit from […]
LaFave, of Iron Mountain, said the proposals would protect nursing home residents, extend unemployment benefits, and safely reopen local unemployment offices and Secretary of State branches in the wake of the recent Michigan Supreme Court ruling that struck down the governor's coronavirus-related executive orders.

22 Best Christmas Cake Recipes For Your Holiday Dessert Table
We'd like a slice (or three).
Once the Christmas dinner has been eaten and the gifts have been unwrapped, it's time to gather around the dessert table and end the holiday on a sweet note. Although cookies are most often associated with the winter holiday, there is something about a Christmas cake that really wraps up the evening.

From gingerbread bundt cakes to peppermint cheesecakes to fruity, well, fruit cakes, these Christmas cake recipes encompass the best flavors of the holiday season. And if you're feeding a crowd, you can easily make more than one for a dessert spread that'll wow you guest.
