Microsoft & Uber finally face the facts and change their Strategies

2018 - 06 - 28

Dara Khosrowshahi, an Iranian-American and the CEO of Uber, rolled out a new set of cultural norms, including one that states, “We Do the Right Thing.” Following last year’s decision by the London regulator, he flew to the city in an effort to repair relations with Transport for London. Since then, Uber has made changes in the U.K. aimed at addressing regulators’ concerns, including reporting serious incidents to the police, and appointing three independent non-executive directors in the country—including hiring Laurel Powers-Freeling, a former senior adviser to the Bank of England, as its U.K. chairman.

The company has also made efforts to improve relationships with U.K. drivers, some of whom are involved in separate litigation to be reclassified as workers, rather than independent contractors, a standing that would entitle them to paid holidays and sick time. Last month, Uber said it would pay for sick leave and some other health-related benefits for drivers and couriers in Europe.

Here cames good news. Uber has now been awarded a licence but it has been put on probation for 15 months.

Satya Nadella, an Indian-American and the CEO of Microsoft, is the man who is transforming Microsoft. After talking and listening to employees, Nadella decided that Microsoft needed a complete cultural makeover. Over the past few years, he’s shared a number of his techniques on stage and other ways. We’ve all heard about the importance in the “new” Microsoft of having a growth mindset; of being a “learn-it-all” rather than a “know-it-all”; and of making inclusivity and diversity top priorities.

Donald Trump dug in his heels over a controversial “zero-tolerance” immigration policy that has seen thousands of children forcibly separated from their parents at the Mexican border. Donald Trump spoke amid an uproar among Democrats and Republicans as images of children being held in wire mesh cages, and toddlers crying as they were separated from their mothers, emerged from the border.

Donald Trump seems to forget about where Ivana Trump and Melania Trump come from. He also forgets that the saviors of Uber and Microsoft are not WHITE.

How to Improve the Doctor-Patient Relationship - Part 2

The doctor-patient relationship is a matter of great importance in Taiwan. Once we have a clue, its not that hard to improve. 二、思考方向: 減少健保給付項目:要有改革的道德勇氣。除了前述已有同成分劑量劑型的學名藥之原廠藥價外並且提高藥品自付額以減少台灣特有的「藥不拿白不拿」的惡習之外,更不能被可憐的罕病故事牽著鼻子走。病人永遠是值得同情的,罕見疾病的家庭更是。但是,如果沒搞懂社會保險與個案救助之間的本質差異,必將拖累大局。 提高承擔重責之醫護待遇:要改善五大科(內外婦兒急)皆空之現象,必須先從尊重著手。打高空沒有用,香蕉只能餵猴子,這是最基本的道理。健保必須善用如前述所節省下來的經費,提高特定項目之點值並強制醫療院所將增額分配給醫護人員、並且為其投保責任險(詳下述);請他們重新念十遍希波克拉提斯誓詞,不如從這裡做起。 醫療過失責任保險必須普及:一方面擴大「業務上之正當行為,不罰」的阻卻違法事由之判斷,讓醫護除非有惡意之怠忽職務,否則不必擔心刑責;另一方面,則更不能阻礙病家循民事司法求償之權利。但是,倘若不能循私人責任保險的機制處理,那麼光是訴訟以及因而帶來的賠償風險,就會妨礙頂尖人才加入醫護的行列,更非全民之福。台灣的產險公司向來對於責任險種之開辦興趣缺缺,有其歷史成因,不在此贅論;但是,台灣市場一直以來除非像汽車的責任險因有強制規定,否則多半保戶太少,風險亦無從分散,賠償上限也太低。這部分,是稍修法令(比方說,按一定基礎投保醫療責任險的醫事單位,給付點值可以作對應的向上調整等等)就能輕易完成的事情,各家產險公司的意願問題,更可以由金管會把他們約來喝咖啡解決。 醫病關係何等大的事情,但只要抓到頭緒去整理,並不難解。惟醫糾法這種「頭痛醫膝蓋」的作法,可悲可嘆。
