Online Symposium on Social Responsibility in the Information Age hosted by Arvind Ashta

By IGI Global on Jul 27, 2011
IGI Global will be hosting a symposium entitled "Social Responsibly in the Information Age" with Arvind Ashta. This symposium will explore how the dynamic age of inter-systems connectivity has changed relationships and paradigms. Recent technological changes allow cloud computing and, within it, "software-as-a-service" (SaaS) to experience a steep reduction in costs. With the reduction of costs to operate, there is a social responsibility to reach out and maintain service to more institutions. Using microfinance as an example, this symposium will discuss how the shift in "software-as-a-service" changes microfinance institutions and how there is a social responsibility among the entire network to set pricing and sourcing policies to support the long tail of microfinance institutions that serve the poor.

Despite increasing acceptance and legalization of cannabis in some US states, disparities persist in federal marijuana laws, exacerbated by the Biden administration's classification of cannabis as a Schedule I drug.
