The term R&D is widely linked to innovation both in the corporate and government world or the public and private sectors.  R&D allows a company to stay ahead of its competition.

Companies spend billions of dollars on R&D to produce the newest, most sought-after products.

Do you know enough about 5G to put the following five numbered paragraphs in context, and to agree or disagree?

1. 5G will change the world in many ways.  Out to claim the sole leadership of 5G is the ultra-competitive Chinese government—already enjoying a brilliant, subsidized head start.
2. China quickly settled on the choice of a relatively low frequency range to help its 5G brand thrive.  Simply put, low frequency bends rather than shooting out in a straight line off the arc of the earth.  By bending, it can reach endlessly more land area and internet users—requiring far fewer cell towers.
3. A low frequency rather than a higher frequency strategy would at least initially better serve young people across rural America in having access to 5G.
4. America’s young people, in whatever towns, cities, or rural areas they may live across the nation, might be inspired in the fascinating 5G technology arena of low frequency.  Why?  Because that is where 5G innovation and excitement will be blazing.  That is where the vast majority of the world’s innovators will be!  
5. Almost every nation will adopt the 5G platform with the lower frequency advantage, leaving 5G built on some other frequency range to be isolated from the vast bulk of worldwide innovation and improvements.

Our U.S. K-12 population—every NAEP cohort as each is facilitated by the HSe web app, including young people in limbo in the bottom half—must continually be positioned to add breakthrough fifth generation (5G) genius and do the same for successive generations, 6G already in its developmental infancy.

Environment, social, and governance (ESG) are the three criteria that third-party ESG rating entities consider in evaluating companies, including those that profess to engage in ESG programs.

As in CSR and SRI, each listed at the bottom of the presentation page, does a company demonstrate that it recognizes an obligation to society?  Is a company’s ESG action part of that company’s long-term character?  Is the action proportionate to what the public may think is reasonable?  Is the action motivated by being able to put a check mark on the company’s to-do list?

Described by Malcom Gladwell, the author of Outliers, Tipping Point, and Blink, the “capitalization rate” for a society is the degree to which a society–or a nation–ensures that its people realize their potential.

Two powerful constraints on human capital are poverty and attitude.

1. Poverty affects everything.  Gladwell gave the example of poverty stricken East Memphis where only one in six kids who get athletic scholarships end up going to college.
2. Attitude is likewise a major influencer; Gladwell lays out his compelling theory on that as well.

The remarkable case for all of the above is made by Mr. Gladwell in the “Microsoft Research” sponsored event captured at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcMKLwVlpJk.

For whatever the metric or sub-metric, if even a 0.1% improvement is relevant, visualize the implications of multiples of the 0.1%.  Consider the impact of accessing whole numbers.

Although HSe4Metrics has no more interest in the automotive industry than any other, keep in mind that HSe web app sponsorship will be positioned to bring a disproportionate advantage regardless of sector, including the most competitive.

That said, coming after a piece of the automotive industry may be Apple.  Apple’s leadership appears to want a 0.1% share of the car market by 2024.  Piper Sandler says that for Apple, the 0.1% equates to $5 billion in revenue—and that just under a full 1% equates to $50 billion.  (Talk to Piper Sandler if your calculations are higher or lower.)

Socioeconomic status is the social standing or class of an individual or group. It is often measured as a combination of education, income, and occupation.

Examinations of socioeconomic status often reveal inequities in access to resources, plus issues related to privilege, power, and control.

Intellectual property theft is ravaging America.  When our major industries suffer a catastrophic loss of ultra-secret, critical information in how it makes a better product, and there is a reasonable expectation that such losses will continue, why keep spending more money on innovation and R&D? 

Ultimately, if the industry invests less in research and development, society will suffer, whether in having a safer automobile tire or a better formula for medicine.  Even the number of employees of impacted companies may be downsized (workers laid off).  The chain of devastation may include a myriad of economic negatives that hurt individuals and families in endless ways including socioeconomically.

Theft can be direct, as by hacking a computer system, or it can be indirect, as in the case of a country not allowing a company to come and do business there unless the company agrees to give up its proprietary information.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law that makes available a free appropriate public education to eligible children with disabilities throughout the nation and ensures special education and related services to those children.

As stated by Congress in the law:  Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society. Improving educational results for children with disabilities is an essential element of our national policy of ensuring equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) was a U.S. Act of Congress that reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act; it included Title I provisions applying to disadvantaged students.  The Act required states to develop assessments in basic skills. To receive federal school funding, states had to give these assessments to all students at select grade levels.

[NCLB] did not assert a national achievement standard—each state developed its own standards.

Schools that receive[d] Title I funding through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 [had to] make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in test scores (e.g. each year, fifth graders [had to] do better on standardized tests than the previous year’s fifth graders).

[The Act gave] options to students enrolled in schools failing to meet AYP. If a school [failed] to meet AYP targets two or more years running, the school [had to] offer eligible children the chance to transfer to higher-performing local schools, receive free tutoring, or attend after-school programs.

The bill was passed by Congress with bipartisan support.  By 2015, bipartisan criticism had accumulated so much that a bipartisan Congress stripped away the national features of No Child Left Behind.  Its replacement, the Every Student Succeeds Act [ESSA], turned the remnants over to the states.

Both young people who can afford broadband and those who cannot must be served.  Likewise, they must all have sufficient digital devices and equipment in the home; that is, as defined by a national standard.

Digital redlining must not be permitted.  All parts of America must be served by broadband sufficient to enable young people to do their schoolwork from where they live.  There should be an agreed national standard such as 100 megabits* symmetrical, or whatever responsible leaders decide.  National leaders must look at broadband as a utility, much like water and electricity.

Sometimes suggested on a bipartisan basis in Congress is an open-access network, where municipalities would be required by law to provide the infrastructure that the private sector can then use to compete.

*Rather than 100 megabits, the major ISP companies argue that only 25 megabits per second download speed and 3 megabits per second upload speed is sufficient; that’s what is referred to as 25/3 (pronounced 25 three).  The reason the ISP companies take that 25/3 position is the cost of municipal-like infrastructure is already too great for these private sector companies to come into a market and compete.  If that basic infrastructure could be provided by each municipality itself, then highly innovative, free-market ISP companies would be incentivized to flock to every market and compete with every other ISP company wanting to do business there.  In such an environment, 100 megabits may prove to be on the low end of what is available.

Our nation’s high school dropouts face an added set of future socioeconomic hurdles that may haunt them for life.  Thus it is wonderful whenever there is a report that the dropout rate is coming down.

Today, the dropout rate appears to be down to 12 percent.  In the past, it has been much higher. 

However, is it reasonable to assume that these graduates are neither illiterate nor innumerate?  Is it reasonable to assume that those graduating can read, write, and do arithmetic?  Unfortunately, the reality is that a significant portion of all high school graduates in the U.S. cannot achieve even basic proficiency, the lowest level of proficiency on the Nation’s Report Card (NAEP).

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) is reported on [a corporation’s] income statement as the sum of all direct and indirect selling expenses and all general and administrative expenses (G&A) of a company.  [SG&A] includes all the costs not directly tied to making a product or performing a service.  That is, SG&A includes the costs to sell and deliver products and services and the costs to manage the company.  

Indirect costs are basically items that money is spent on in order to earn sales.  Indirect expenses include product advertising and marketing.

Xerox had over 90 percent of the world’s copier market!  And in its lab it quietly had what may have been the first-ever desktop copier.  Nonetheless, whether simply not bold or talented enough to properly lead, as one theory goes, or for some other reason than may never be known, the Xerox CEO then made an odd decision contrary to the pleas of his engineers and marketers, and perhaps counter to common sense and logic—a decision that nearly wiped away the company.  

What was the decision?  What was the decision process?

Ask a member of the HSe presentation team.

Decision-making by an organization’s top decision-maker may be the arbiter of that organization’s success.  Efficient day-to-day operations are absolutely critical–if poorly executed, the company or institution may struggle to ward off mediocrity.  Equally important, however, can be to brilliantly deal with the prospect of a new opportunity.  Strong leadership and decision-making are expected of a CEO.  History will record the outcome.

A correct decision may be to decline a path or opportunity, or it may be to accept.

Will the CEO say yes or no?  Taking no action will be taken as a no.  (Saying yes but with poor implementation is a different discussion.)  The “no” by the Xerox CEO, in the Xerox desktop copier example, herein, was the wrong answer.  It resulted in one of the very top corporations in the world quickly freefalling to nearly going out of business.  Simultaneously, a tiny company led by a very different CEO said yes, and with his company soared to spectacular heights. 

Massive Xerox layoffs (a euphemism for firings) preceded the CEO’s.

A board of directors is a group of people who jointly supervise the activities of an organization, which can be either a for-profit or a nonprofit organization such as a business, nonprofit organization, or a government agency.

The powers, duties, and responsibilities of a board of directors are determined by government regulations (including the jurisdiction’s corporate law) and the organization’s own constitution and bylaws. These authorities may specify the number of members of the board, how they are to be chosen, and how often they are to meet.

In an organization with voting members, the board is accountable to, and may be subordinate to, the organization’s full membership, which usually elects the members of the board. In a stock corporation, non-executive directors are elected by the shareholders, and the board has ultimate responsibility for the management of the corporation. In nations with codetermination (such as Germany and Sweden), the workers of a corporation elect a set fraction of the board’s members.

The board of directors appoints the chief executive officer of the corporation and sets out the overall strategic direction. In corporations with dispersed ownership, the identification and nomination of directors (that shareholders vote for or against) are often done by the board itself, leading to a high degree of self-perpetuation. In a non-stock corporation with no general voting membership, the board is the supreme governing body of the institution, and its members are sometimes chosen by the board itself.

Market capitalization, commonly called market cap, is the market value of a publicly-traded company’s outstanding shares.

Market capitalization is equal to the share price multiplied by the number of shares outstanding.  Since outstanding stock is bought and sold in public markets, capitalization could be used as an indicator of public opinion of a company’s net worth and is a determining factor in some forms of stock valuation.

Market cap reflects only the equity value of a company. A firm’s choice of capital structure has a significant impact on how the total value of a company is allocated between equity and debt. A more comprehensive measure is enterprise value (EV), which gives effect to outstanding debt, preferred stock, and other factors. For insurance firms, a value called the embedded value (EV) has been used.

Market capitalization is used by the investment community in ranking the size of companies, as opposed to sales or total asset figures.

Market cap is given by the formula MC = N X P, where MC is the market capitalization, N is the number of shares outstanding, and P is the closing price per share.

Margins can be compromised when a marketing strategy to increase sales entails cutting prices, as in the case of discounts, if there is an alternative marketing option.

So, how can HSe help?

A carmaker, for instance, if the national Sponsor of the HSe web app, may no longer need to employ a strategy that gives away part of its profit in order to sell enough product to maintain market share.  Again, all else being equal, margins can be maintained rather than compromised. 

Via the HSe web app sponsorship and marketing strategy, the Sponsor will have no role other than funding the web app:  The HSe web app will be positioned to create grassroots, consumer-driven demand for its Sponsor’s product, to the extent that parents appreciate what the Sponsor-named web app is doing (and has done) for their kids.

Any organization that competes for customers, whether for-profit or nonprofit, public or private, must be keenly aware of competitors.  This effort itself should be a metric, the elements and rationale of which should continually be evaluated, defined, redefined, and measured.  

Complacency on this front, potentially putting any self-sustaining organization at risk, must be guarded against; hence, the need for the metric, together with a regularly scheduled (mandatory) review that includes top decision makers.

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is also referred to as the Nation’s Report Card.

The HSe web app will treat every young person as being gifted and talented, even though absent the HSe web app many might find themselves in the bottom half of NAPE results.

However, the Wikipedia description of GATE is as follows:

Gifted education, also known as gifted and talented education (GATE), talented and gifted programs (TAG), or G/T education) is a broad group of special practices, procedures, and theories used in the education of children who have been identified as gifted or talented.  The main approaches to gifted education are enrichment and acceleration. An enrichment program teaches additional, related material, but keeps the student progressing through the curriculum at the same rate as other students. 

[G]ifted education is not regulated on a federal level, although recommendations by the US Department of Education are offered.  As such, funding for services is not consistent from state to state, and although students may be identified, the extent to which they receive services can vary widely depending upon a state or district’s budget.

IN EARLY 2001:  The HSe founder, accompanied by “low-income African Americans” [to use the descriptor 20 years later in the article below], visited with an assistant Director of the U.S. Department of Education, about 50 feet down the hallway from Roderick Paige.    A prescient aspect discussed during the meeting:  young people the ability (and strategy) of the HSe web app to spur the grassroots support by the nattion’s young people to end digital divide during the K-12 years and before.  

Clearly, the visitors had no clout at the meeting, even after a child of one of the mothers spoke . . .

20 YEARS LATER:  Brookings, July 28. 2020:  Nicol Turner Lee | Senior Fellow—Governance Studies | Director, Center for Technology Innovation

• “More than 22 years ago, the term “digital divide” was created to describe the pernicious effects of not being connected.  In 2010, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) laid out a similar argument in the inaugural National Broadband Plan.”
• ” . . . current FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel introduced the term ‘homework gap’ to explain the obstacles for educational achievement among school-age children without broadband access.”
• ” . . . COVID-19 has revealed that the emperor is still without clothes as more than 12 million of 55 million students who were sent home at the end of March did not have home broadband access. Parents and educators found themselves in the parking lots of libraries, schools, and open business establishments to use their public Wi-Fi networks.”  [Universal Broadband Service (USO) is the federal government’s goal to make the internet available to everyone in the U.S.]
• “Recent research on distance learning found that nine million students in the U.S. did not have access to both internet and a device to use as schools transitioned to online learning.  In another recent survey of device accessibility, low-income African Americans, Latinos, and first-generation college students were also more likely to have only one device within the home to be shared among multiple siblings.”

Indeed, after 20 years the damaging issues raised down the hallway from Dr. Paige were issues still:  broadband and device access divide, equity divide, and affordability divide.  The little seven-year-old girl who spoke at the meeting had none of these.

If a student does not have a “device” at home, such as a tablet or laptop, then that student cannot access broadband, even if broadband is available.

Two or more young people in a family having to share the same device during a school day is another issue.

MOREOVER, IT’S NOT JUST INTERNET ACCESS THAT IS CRITICAL, IT’S BROADBAND ACCESS

If a student has a device (such as a Chromebook laptop) and has an internet connection, and yet the connection is so slow that it intermittently works fine and then “freezes,” the student will likely give up the learning effort—frustrated and disappointed.  The Federal Communications Commission defines broadband as being at or above 25 megabits per second (25 MBPS).  That’s fast enough for downloading music or for a K-12 student to work effectively from home.  Many rural areas have less than 3 MBPS.  Students in those areas attempting to do online schoolwork from home are left out, unable to participate.  Moreover, even if the area has broadband, but its cost is unaffordable for many households, young people in those families will not be able to participate in classes along with their classmates and teachers.

A chief executive officer (CEO), chief administrator, or just chief executive (CE), is one of a number of corporate executives in charge of managing an organization – especially an independent legal entity such as a company or nonprofit institution. CEOs find roles in a range of organizations, including public and private corporations, non-profit organizations and even some government organizations (notably Crown corporations). The CEO of a corporation or company typically reports to the board of directors and is charged with maximizing the value of the business, which may include maximizing the share price, market share, revenues, or another element. In the non-profit and government sector, CEOs typically aim at achieving outcomes related to the organization’s mission, such as reducing poverty, increasing literacy, etc.

Market share increases can allow a company to achieve greater scale with its operations and improve profitability.  A company can try to expand its share of the market, either by lowering prices, using advertising, or introducing new or different products.  In addition, it can also grow the size of its market share by appealing to other audiences or demographics [as in the strategy herein to sponsor the HSe website application].

Market share is said to be a key indicator of market competitiveness, i.e. how well a firm is doing against its competitors. 

Gains or losses in market share can have significant impacts on a company’s stock performance, depending on industry conditions.

Using conventional marketing strategies, carmakers and their dealers spend whatever it takes to entice consumers to visit dealerships.  In the ongoing battle to stem further tragic loss of market share, a common strategy sometimes used is to cut both prices, and often profits, but another victim can be margins. 

Untapped is the strength of the HSe web app to engender appreciative parents to proactively take it upon themselves to seek out those dealerships. 

Likewise, as a marketing strategy, similar HSe benefits could be achieved for a food company such as Kraft Foods—for which the battle of margins is fierce, and where marketing strategies are often nondescript, inefficient, and costly, and equally troubling in terms of opportunity lost.

A brand’s top-of-mind awareness is a major corporate asset.  To leverage that asset, add “brand loyalty.”  But how to add brand loyalty is the issue.  How can a major corporation accomplish that?  Will traditional marketing do it?  Well, perhaps not.  Otherwise, why doesn’t every top-ranking publicly traded corporation spend $60 million for six minutes of television ads? 

Or could a preferred marketing strategy be to give the public what it wants?  The logic of the HSe web app.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is a US law passed in December 2015 that governs the United States K–12 public education policy.  The law replaced its predecessor, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), and modified but did not eliminate provisions relating to the periodic standardized tests given to students.  Like the No Child Left Behind Act, ESSA is a reauthorization of the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which established the federal government’s expanded role in public education.

The Every Student Succeeds Act passed both chambers of Congress with bipartisan support.

The bill [was] the first to narrow the United States federal government’s role in elementary and secondary education since the 1980s. The ESSA retains the hallmark annual standardized testing requirements of the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act but shifts the law’s federal accountability provisions to states. Under the law, students will continue to take annual tests between the third and eighth grades.

Top-of-mind awareness [TOMA] is an important concept in consumer behavior, marketing research and marketing communications.  Top-of-mind awareness is one measure of how well brands rank in the minds of consumers.

TOMA has also been defined as “the percent of respondents who, without prompting, name a specific brand or product first when asked to list all the advertisements they recall seeing in a general product category over the past 30 days.”

At the market level, top-of-mind awareness is more often defined as the “most remembered” or “most recalled” brand names.
