- To users, Google is cute; to competitors, Google is powerful. Google's profits are climbing at a rate of 40% per quarter. The "horrible" part of the trio is that they pose a threat to all digital businesses, from software and video to wireless communications. You know, when Google aims at a new target, it will try to break the rules of the game in this field.

- Private Equity
- If you ask a MAB student what industry you plan to graduate from, you often get the answer to a private equity firm such as Blackstone, Carlyle, KKR or TPG.
- Private equity groups have acquired a wide range of companies. For example, Blackstone bought REIT-EOP, the largest office property owner in the United States, for $ 19 billion last year. Sterling price was acquired by Carlyle Group. As private equity enters various industries, some people predict that if private equity is weak, it will trigger a chain reaction. From the first five months of this year, private equity acquisitions totaled as much as $ 250 billion. It seems that regardless of the future, private equity still has a good development momentum.

- Agile Software Development
- The original idea was a software development idea that was considered to relieve programmers from the heavy workload. (Taking people as the core of software development; maintaining the simplicity of design; using test-driven development; using refactoring to maintain the robustness of the architecture; using object-oriented design principles and design patterns to guide the design so that the software remains flexible and adaptable change). Now through practice we know that it opens up the way for our network service-based encoders and enterprises. Agile team development is fast, sometimes as short as a week. The main structure is well established, and then "accessories" are added from time to time. Agile development also allows managers to speed up cargo flow and better budget control. It's not hard to understand why Google and Lockheed Martin (a long-time defense industry contractor) are promoting this method of thinking at the company.
