6.Two more complaints, call for legal action against Twitter India:-
Twitter India’s troubles continued on Tuesday after at least two more complaints being filed against the microblogging platform, and a political leader calling for legal action.
Twitter India Country Head Manish Maheshwari and news partnerships head Amrita Tripathi had been booked under Section 505 (2) of the Indian Penal Code and Section 74 of Information Technology (Amendment) Act 2008 for showing a wrong map of India on its website, on the complaint of a Bajrang Dal leader in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh.
The issue revolves around a controversial map of India on the career section of Twitter, and showed Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh as a separate country. This led to angry reactions on Twitter, and the microblogging platform removed the map on Monday night.
Later in the day, on Tuesday, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra said that he had asked the Director General of Police (DGP) to investigate the same issue and take legal action against Twitter for “distorting” India’s map.
In a separate case, the Delhi Police registered an FIR against Twitter, based on a complaint filed by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). The complaint alleges that Cchild pornographic videos and links were available on Twitter.
News reports said the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Cyber Cell had been summoned Tuesday by the NCPCR for not taking action against Twitter despite repeated letters.
“Twitter has a zero tolerance policy for child sexual exploitation (CSE) and we have a proactive approach to combating sexual exploitation of minors on our service. We have been at the forefront of responding to the evolving challenge of preventing the exploitation of children on the Internet and will continue to aggressively fight online child sexual abuse, as well as invest in the technology and tools that are essential to stay ahead of this issue. We will continue to invest in proactive detection and removal of content that violates the Twitter Rules and work with law enforcement and NGO partners in India to tackle the issue,” said a spokesperson at the microblogging platform.
According to Twitter, it uses PhotoDNA technology, its own proprietary tools, and other systems to detect behavioral signals and remove media. In many cases, it lets Twitter remove new accounts linked to this type of content before they have even sent their first tweet.
Twitter considers anyone under the age of 18 as a minor, and all viewing, sharing, or linking to child sexual exploitation (CSE) material, regardless of the intent, contributes to the re-victimization of the depicted children and is prohibited on our service, it says.
This includes media, text, illustrations, or computer-generated images. This also applies to content that may further contribute to the victimization of children through the promotion or glorification of child sexual exploitation, according to the social media platform.
Maheshwari has also been named in another FIR filed by UP Police in Ghaziabad. The Karnataka HC had on Thursday granted him interim relief in a case relating to an assault video that had gone viral on the microblogging platform. The HC had also directed that no coercive action be taken against him till Tuesday.
Karnataka HC said Tuesday it will hear the criminal case against Maheshwari on July 5.
The case relates to an ongoing complaint related to tweets on the assault of an elderly Muslim man in Ghaziabad.
Twitter on June 21 restricted tweets showing the video and images from it.
The government has been at loggerheads with Twitter ever since January, when the microblogging platform refused to take down some content related to the farmers’ protests in India, saying it goes against their company policies.
This further intensified after India enacted new rules for social media intermediaries. The government has said Twitter has not complied with the requirements, and may have lost its safe harbour protection under the IT Act.
7. Facebook, Google to soon publish reports as required by new IT Rules:-
Technology giants Facebook and Google will soon publish reports, as mandated by the new Information Technology Rules, providing information about the actions they took on user complaints in India.
While Facebook said on Tuesday it will publish an interim report on July 2 as mandated by the IT rules, Google will publish its transparency report as required under the new IT Rules in India.
“In accordance with the IT Rules, we’ll publish an interim report for the period May 15-June 15 on July 2. This report will contain details of the content that we have removed proactively using our automated tools. The final report will be published on July 15 containing details of user complaints received and action taken. The report on July 15 will also contain data related to WhatsApp, which is currently being validated,” said a Facebook spokesperson.
Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The IT Rules, notified on February 25, ask significant social media intermediaries, or those with over 5 million users, to “publish periodic compliance report every month mentioning the details of complaints received and action taken thereon, and the number of specific communication links or parts of information that the intermediary has removed or disabled access to in pursuance of any proactive monitoring conducted by using automated tools or any other relevant information as may be specified”.
This was among the key issues that industry wanted clarity on in the new Rules. Many intermediaries were unclear about the format of these reports. A government official told Business Standard earlier that the compliance reports should have bare minimum details, on what type of content was removed or what other action was taken.
While most SSMIs publish annual or bi-annual transparency reports and would most likely publish compliance reports in a similar pattern, there was little clarity on whether those would be compliant with the new Rules.
Another issue that SSMIs are awaiting clarity on is that of the quantum of time required before which a user needs to be informed about their content being taken down. The kind of content on which intermediaries are required to do so includes content of pornographic nature, paedophilic, infringes trademarks and so on.
The government, it is understood, will bring out a standard operating procedure on the new IT Rules in consultation with industry and stakeholders, addressing some of the concerns that have been raised by them.
In addition, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology will be soon releasing a set of “frequently asked questions” to simplify the requirements in the Rules, on similar lines as done by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting a few days ago.
While the Rules apply to all social media companies, the largest ones among these are Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, Twitter and the like.
According to data provided by the government, India has 530 million WhatsApp users, 410 million Facebook users, 210 million people on Instagram, and 17.5 million accounts on Twitter.

9. Covid-19: Over 11,000 ‘super-spreaders’ vaccinated in Ahmedabad:
More than 11,000 people categorised as ‘super-spreaders’ have been vaccinated against COVID-19 in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad city so far in a special drive started recently for their inoculation, local civic body said on Tuesday.
‘Super-spreaders’ are those who transmit an infectious disease to a large number of other people due to the nature of their job.
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) recently started a special vaccination drive for ‘super-spreaders’, like vegetable vendors, grocers, petrol pump staff, barbers, courier and food delivery agents.
A total of 11,013 such people have been inoculated so far as part of the drive, the civic body said in a release.
A centre has been set up in each of the city’s seven civic zones to facilitate the vaccination of ‘super-spreaders’ so that they pose little danger of the spread of the disease to other people, the AMC said.
“To make the vaccination campaign more effective, it was decided to inoculate super-spreaders by running a special drive so that their chances of getting infected from COVID-19 are reduced, since they come in contact with many people due to the nature of their job,” it said.
On Monday, a total of 923 such people were vaccinated, including 582 in the age group of 18 to 44 years, and 341 in the 45 years and above category, he said.
Of late, Ahmedabad has seen a sharp drop in the number of coronavirus cases reported daily.
As per the AMC’s COVID-19 bulletin issued on Monday, there were 830 active COVID-19 cases in the city.
Ahmedabad has so far reported a total 2,30,660 coronavirus cases and 3,310 deaths due to the infection. Besides, 2,26,520 people have recovered from the disease, the bulletin said.
10. Monetise reserves or get set for auction: Oil minister Pradhan to ONGC, OIL:-
Taking into account the acreage Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Ltd (OIL) hold amid the country’s dependency on imports for oil, Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan today said that the reserves held need to be monetised else the government would take it away for auctioning.
Speaking at BNEF Summit today, Pradhan said that the two state-owned firms cannot indefinitely sit on resources when the nation is a net importer of oil and gas.
“We have asked them to do two things – do it yourself, (produce oil and gas) through some joint venture (with domain experts and foreign companies) (and) through a new business model. But the government cannot permit you to hold resources for an indefinite time,” he said.
Despite India bidding out acreages to private and other companies since the 1990s, ONGC) and OIL hold a “sizeable number of acreage for years,” he said.
ONGC and OIL, which discovered and brought to production all of India’s eight sedimentary basins, produce about three-fourths of the nation’s oil and gas.
Pradhan said India needs energy for its ambitious economic growth agenda. “We want to reduce import dependency. We want to monetise our own resources.”
The two state-owned companies, especially ONGC, have faced criticism ranging from not being able to quickly bring discoveries to production to lower recovery.
“We have given policy guidance to our state-owned oil companies – either you do on your own through new partners and new economic model, (else) the government will after a particular period intervene and use its authority to bid out the resources,” he said.
The government has already taken away dozens of small and marginal discoveries from the two firms and auctioned them in what is known as Discovered Small Field (DSF) rounds.
DSF offers pricing and marketing freedom to operators, something which ONGC and OIL do not have currently, constraining their efforts to monetise smaller discoveries.
Pradhan indicated the government would not hesitate to take away larger idle discoveries and auction them to private and foreign players.
Earlier this month, the minister had stated that the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), the oil ministry’s technical arm, had the “full mandate” to identify unmonetised major fields that could be offered for bidding.
“Resources don’t belong to a company. They belong to the nation and the government. They cannot lie with a company indefinitely. If somebody cannot monetise them, we will have to bring a new regime,” he had said.
The statement comes weeks after his ministry told ONGC to sell a stake in producing oil fields such as Ratna R-Series in western offshore to private firms and get foreign partners in KG basin gas fields.
In October 2017, the DGH had identified 15 producing fields with a collective reserve of 791.2 million tonne of crude oil and 333.46 billion cubic meters of gas, for handing over to private firms in the hope that they would improve upon the baseline estimate and its extraction.
A year later, as many as 149 small and marginal fields of ONGC were identified for private and foreign companies on the grounds that the state-owned firm should focus only on bid ones.
ONGC produced 20.2 million tonne of crude oil in the fiscal year ending March 31 (2020-21), down from 20.6 million tonne in the previous year and 21.1 million tonne in 2018-19. It produced 21.87 billion cubic meters of gas in 2020-21, down from 23.74 bcm in the previous year and 24.67 bcm in 2018-19.
In this digitalised era, almost everyone has a savings account with the bank of their choice as with every passing day, making day to day transactions keeps getting even more convenient for its users. There are many reasons to have a savings account, especially in these times. Some of these reasons are-
It is a secure way of saving money. It is protected from theft or fires or any kind of disaster. It is easier to steal cash than steal from a secured a savings account.
It is extremely convenient to save money and make day to day transactions in seconds using a savings account. Users can withdraw money whenever they need it instead of carrying a lot of cash all the time. Users can also use other facilities offered to account holders like net banking, issuance of cheques and demand drafts. It is also very convenient to pay large sum of money using such means as it is very difficult and inconvenient to carry and deliver a huge amount of cash. Example, purchasing a car or a house or any expensive item.
It also makes paying expenses like telephone, electricity, water bills very easy and convenient. It can be done in seconds.
It makes saving easier. It maintains a record of all your transactions so the user can analyse his/her expenditure and cut down on some of it and save more.
We can also say that it is like an investment, in a way as savings account offer a percentage of interest rate on the amount deposited with the bank. This also encourages users to save more so they can earn interest on a higher amount of money.
It is also mandatory for one to have a bank account in order to take loans from financial institutions and banks as they tend to favour existing customers with a good track record. Different people need different type of loans like student or house or car or personal loan and hence, need to open a bank account for the same.
Nowadays, almost every transaction is done electronically for which the most basic requirement is abank account. For example, employees in most of the sectors, receive their salaries in their bank accounts at the end of every month. Money is transferred to family or friends who don’t live nearby or live in different continents or country through online facilities offered to accountholders of a savings account. It is a common way of paying and receiving money these days.
It is also mandatory to have a bank account in order to be able to use mobile wallets like Paytm, Google pay or BHIM UPI etc as it is directly linked to a bank account.
Conclusion
To conclude, it is evident that, in this dynamic and fast paced era, having a savings bank account is more like a necessity than a choice. Nowadays, most of the transactions are carried out through means that requires having a savings bank account. Its advantages and perks outweigh all kinds of disadvantages or threats it may have associated to it. Therefore, yes, having a savings account is definitely worth it.
Artificial Intelligence has found an important place in our day to day lives. We might not realise it but it has surrounded and transformed almost all aspects of our lives. AI is a branch in computer science that deals with the intelligent behaviour of machines. It is an ingeniously simulated ability of a machine to imitate human behaviour and our conventional response patterns. This is made possible with specific algorithms that make the AI function in a specified scope of activities. This means that with AI, many of our everyday activities can now be carried out effectively by programmed machine technology.
Microsoft’s chief envisioner David Coplin says “AI will change how we relate to each other. I would argue that it will even change how we perceive what it means to be human.“
Real-life examples
The use of AI in organizations, governments, security frameworks, energy and natural resource management, etc., is drastically on the rise. For example, artificial intelligence has been pointed at to possess the potential for more accurate medical practices. Thus, you can be sure of a more accurate surgical procedure using this framework than what is currently available.
Another example would be the most commonly used AI-oriented app nowadays- Google maps. Google maps uses AI to detect traffic and its causes, time taken to travel to the destination, calculate speed of the vehicle and display estimated time accordingly, suggest fastest route alternatives. It is a very helpful tool and everyone uses it during travel.
Similarly, apps like Uber and Ola also use AI to connect you to the closest driver, display estimated wait and travel time, calculate prices according to the time of the day, traffic and other factors etc.
It is also used in food delivery apps to assign the closest outlet of the restaurant you want to order from and to assign the closest delivery person, calculate estimated time of arrival of the food, keep track of the timely preparation and delivery of the food etc.
Another most commonly used example would be voice assistants like Siri, Cortana, Alexa and Google assistant. These are AI powered assistants that can perform any tasks given to them with the help of AI.
Another example would be AI used by entertainment channels like Netflix, Prime video and even YouTube to keep track of the content consumed by every user to determine their liked genres and taste in order to give recommendations to every user according to their taste and preferences.
Google Translate uses AI to help you translate text from a source language to the target one. The company has a lot of contributors across the globe, which means that any person in the world can contribute to Google Translate by entering some words like synonyms or anything else related to languages.
Most importantly, it is used by businesses for providing valuable insights. Using AI supplies them with information about customer behaviour, their preferences, and the history of their interactions with a company. Moreover,AI can be a real game-changer in how marketing and ads campaigns are being run today. For instance, personalized advertisements are a hit with various companies. Corporate giants as Facebook, Google, YouTube, have already been using ads powered by AI for targeting specific audiences.

The Android device market is growing day by day, and companies are taking advantage of it by developing Android applications and selling them on the market. Google Mobile Operating System. It is designed to be open source so that Android application developers can take advantage of the operating system and create innovative new applications. The app makes everything easier. But anyone can simply download and use the application; developing an application is not easy. It takes months or even years of brainstorming and deciding on technical details to finally develop an application that can prove itself in the market. To cope with fierce competition in the market, it is important to ensure that everything is done under the latest trends and technological updates in the development industry. Mobile application development is the process of creating software applications that run on mobile devices, and a typical mobile application Use network connections to handle remote computing resources.
Basics of Android development
Android application development consists of one or more of the following four categories:
Operation-an application that provides visible user operations. On the start screen or application Start the operation in the launcher.
Service-You can use service for any application that needs to run for a long time, such as a B. Network monitor or application to check for updates.
Content provider. The easiest way to think about content providers is to think of them as database servers. The job of the content provider is to manage access to persistent data, such as contacts on mobile phones. If your application is very simple, you don’t need to create a content provider. However, if you are building a larger application or application that makes the data available for multiple operations and/or applications, the content provider is a medium that prohibits access to your data.
Streaming media receiver. You can launch Android applications to process data about specific items or respond to events, for example to Receive SMS.
In the past 10 years, Android has become the most popular operating system in many ways.This is a very flexible and user-friendly system that can change anything unrecognizable.It can be done at any stage of the Android application development process, which is impossible to buildanapplication from scratch on a traditional linear platform
In the real world, we are learning new things every day and improving our decision-making skills on the basis of successful decisions in the past. Isn’t this human learning? If we now use computers to fully automate this process, what will it be? This will be machine learning.
Everyday applications
We use it a dozen times a day without even realizingit. Every time you perform a Google search, your machine learning software will figure out how to categorizethe pages you want to visit.Also learn thatif you read emails from your inbox, the smart spam filter can save you from browsing a lot of spam.
THE TECHNICAL UNDERSTANDING
Recently, Tom Mitchell described machine learning as a computer program. It is said that the program learns from experience E related to task T and performance metric P because its performance in T is improved by the P metric. Experience E Let us give an example of an online chess game, in which each game is a task T, and the process of the game is the experience E. Each game has a final result, which is a performance indicator P. This performance indicator is to win. Probability of a game against a new opponent. Now that the computer has the patience to play tens of thousands of games alone, it can further improve your chances of winning consecutively. Machine learning technology: a brief overview We all know how computers work, we all know How the computer works, we have simplified many operations. Now we are trying to get computers to examine all the macro and micro levels of human thought processes that lead to multiple decision-making skills. By developing truly intelligent machines, we can do almost anything you and I can do. This work consists of complex algorithms and functions of artificial intelligence applications running in expert systems. With every action you take, the computer will learn self-learning and self-esteem through progressive, keen, and precise decision-making skills. The computer learns to remember a past experience and process them according to the archived tasks and the resulting performance level. Development of actions/results in a specific context or situation.
FUTURE ASPECTS AND THE SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENT
Machine learning is not limited to Google search or Amazon prediction. It is widely used in medical diagnosis, where tiny patterns are revealed to predict disease. Machine learning can have a positive impact on treatment and subsequent procedure decisions. Financial transactions, data mining, fraud detection, speech recognition, spam prevention, and language translation are some other areas where machine learning is used. The company uses the technology to predict the relevance of products based on the collected data. Let us see what machine learning can bring to the future. A fully functional self-driving car is expected to be available at the end of 2018. Natural language processing has developed a subset of machine learning so that students can improve search results and translations based on the search context. It will also help digital assistants like Siri interact with Humans On Cyber Security Front, a machine learning model that can analyze the structure of inbound or outbound traffic to detect and stop suspicious before continuing damage occurs. activity. Decisions and code changes can be made without explicit programming, which makes machine learning an inevitable trend now and in the future.

Promotion of a brand involves informing, persuading and keeping the potential consumers for continued and long term engagements. Promotion can be done by informing the public about the features of the product or brand, persuading them to buy the product by telling its unique features and keeping in touch with the customers to convince them to further buy more products of the same brand by providing after-sales-services and by maintaining good producer-consumer relations.
It is also important to note that there is a difference between promoting a product and promoting a brand. Promoting a brand is broader in terms as it focuses on building and maintaining brand image and is related with the promotion of the entire business. Promotion of a product is narrower in terms as it just focuses on promoting a “particular product”. For example, when Loreal Paris uses the tagline “You’re worth it”, it not just promotes a particular product but the entire Loreal brand. However, when it uses “5 problems, 1 solution”, it promotes a particular product (i.e., Total Repair 5) by highlighting the importance of it.
Online Brand or Product Promotion is the method of promoting the brand or product on different social media and online platforms by using the internet to its full potential to reach a wide range of audience. For ages, brands and advertisers have influenced and shaped consumers’ attitudes and behaviours and sometimes we don’t even get to know about it.
There are several ways in which Social Media Influencers impact promotion of a brand or a product:
1) Influencing Purchase Decision of Consumers:
Consumers’ purchase intentions are frequently measured and used by marketing managers as an input for decisions for new and existing products. Social Media Influencers do not put up advertisements but just directly talk about the product or brand in details, how to use their, if they are value for money. So influencers cover the “Frequently Asked Questions” about a product.
2) Convincing customers to buy products:
After influencing the purchase decision of the customers, the main task of influencers is to make their followers buy the products. Actions involving social media influencers help more when there is best personalised advertisement done by the influencers.
3) Distribution of Samples:
This is one of the newest techniques through which social media influencers help business firms in their promotional activities. The influencers take free samples from the producers and further distribute them to their followers in terms of “online giveaways”. This technique of “Online Giveaway” becomes extremely beneficial for those firms which are new in the market. The social media influencers ask their followers to comment, like or share the posts of the business product/firm they’re associated and few lucky winners are the ones who get to take the products in these Online Giveaways. There’s also traditional form of distribution of samples where influencers distribute a business firm’s products which are generally smaller in quantity than the original products so that customers get a first hand experience of the products.
Clearly, social media influencers have had gained and influenced their followers a lot in recent years and especially during the pandemic. People rely on influencers more these days and influencers keep on creating more content for their followers.
We must have thought once in our lifetime about starting our own business, we may also have hundreds of amazing company ideas and have gained a lot of knowledge in the process. However, if you have no prior expertise or skills in this industry, launching a new firm is difficult.
What things you should consider before starting your own business?
Doing business entails numerous components such as customer service, public image, loyalty, and brand value, among others. As a result, anyone considering starting a new firm should think about all of this before getting started. As a result, before launching a small business in India, an entrepreneur should examine the following things.
The majority of people dream of starting a business, but few of them ever take the first crucial step. As a result, anyone who is contemplating or has an idea for a business should take the first step toward putting it into action. Simple steps could include things like starting to save, creating a business plan, and collaborating with various stakeholders.
Make a Plan for your Business
All the steps that you have to take to start a new business, the business plan contains all of the information needed to put the business idea into action, such as the type of business, nature of the business, and the type of business entity required, such as a sole proprietorship, joint-stock company, or partnership firm. A business strategy can also assist you in proper implementation while also coping with the changing environment.
A firm can only be sustained by the entrepreneur’s or businessmen’s original investment. It is critical to define the sort of source, such as retained earnings, loans, or outside investment, ahead of time. Furthermore, the source of funds must be determined ahead of time. It is strongly advised that the entrepreneur invest his or her own money as a first investment, as this will ensure that he receives the most reward for all of his hard work later on when the business succeeds.
Maintain positive relationships with people in your line of work
Every second of doing business is like learning something new. It is critical that you make contact with at least a few people who work in the same field as you. It will keep you up to date on the newest advancements, new government rules, and how to solve company challenges, among other things. It is also advised that you should have healthy and fair competition rather than taking unfair advantage of company opportunities.
Get a Domain & Build a Website
Those were the days when direct contact and direct marketing were critical to corporate success. In the traditional way of doing company, which is highly expensive, a substantial investment is necessary. From now on, we should start by establishing an online presence through the creation of a website, SEO, and internet marketing, among other things. A company can now sell its items thousands of miles distant via the internet. This form of business requires minimal infrastructure, making it a viable choice for small firms with limited capital.
Create a Social Media Presence
Apart from having an online presence, having a social media presence on numerous platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others is also essential. Although an online presence is used to sell items or services, a social media presence will aid in the development of a brand image, customer relations, and the expansion of client reach.
People will not go straight to your web sites, but having a social media presence will assist you in transferring followers from social media to your business model.
Set your Goals
Setting goals is critical when running a business. I’m not talking about long-term objectives here, but rather short-term objectives. Setting weekly and monthly goals is critical for achieving long-term goals when beginning a business since it helps to maintain our motivation and confidence at regular intervals. Setting a benchmark for this week’s sale, determining the number of complaints to be resolved this month, or raising client numbers to a certain level are all examples of short-term goals.
Continue to try new things
Every entrepreneur should be willing to test new things and study how the market or the customer reacts to them before making changes. Because the market is incredibly dynamic and trends change frequently, an entrepreneur should never assume that his or her business is performing well.
Diesel fuel, in general is any liquid fuel specifically designed for use in diesel engines, whose fuel ignition takes place, without any spark, as a result of compression of the inlet air mixture and then injection of fuel. Therefore, diesel fuel needs good compression ignition characteristics.
The most common type of diesel fuel is a specific fractional distillate of petroleum fuel oil, but alternatives that are not derived from petroleum, such as biodiesel, biomass to liquid (BTL) or gas to liquid (GTL) diesel are increasingly being developed and adopted. To distinguish these types, petroleum-derived diesel is increasingly called petrodiesel in some academic circles.
In many countries, diesel fuel is standardised. For example, in the European Union, the standard for diesel fuel is EN 590. Diesel fuel has many colloquial names, most commonly, it is simply referred to as Diesel. In the UK, diesel fuel for on-road use is commonly abbreviated DERV, standing for diesel-engined road vehicle, which carries a tax premium over equivalent fuel for non-road use. In Australia, diesel fuel is also known as distillate, and in Indonesia, it is known as Solar, a trademarked name by the local oil company Pertamina.

Steam is a digital marketplace and is owned by Valve Corporation. Valve Corporation was formed by ex-Microsoft employees and after launching critically acclaimed games like Half-Life and Counter-Strike, they set out their eyes on retailing software through the internet.
History of Steam
Steam was launched as a standalone software client in September 2003 as a channel to provide automatic updates for their games. It pioneered the digital distribution of the software. Before video games used to be physically owned and any kind of updates and patches were very cumbersome to implement. As owning music CDs became obsolete similarly owning games in physical media became a rare thing. As internet speeds increased, this meant that downloading games over the internet became easier, and having a single library where the users can access all their purchases has now become the norm.
Later it expanded to provide software by third-party developers to become a full-fledged distribution platform. The developer of Steam is Valve Corporation. As of today, it is one of the most profitable privately owned corporations in the world.
Steam’s business model is very similar to the model that Apple uses in its app store. It operates a commission-based business model. Steam takes a percentage cut from all the sales made on its platform (30%)
How Steam grew from its initial years?
During In its initial years, Steam provided a freemium model. It offered its games for a free-to-play model. It helped Steam to reach a wider audience and increase its growth.
Steam has benefited a lot with its network effect. As more and more game publishers and smaller indie game developers joined the platform. Steam increased its titles library. New developers got a medium to publish their games without the hassles and cost of hosting and maintaining the games. With the help of free games and new value units being added all the time, new users joined the platform at an ever-increasing rate as well. Now consumers could access their whole game library in a single place. Thus benefiting both these sides of the core interaction.
Currently Steam has 100 million monthly active users and over 30,000+ games listed on its platform.
In the initial years Steam solved its chicken and egg problem by providing free games and free demos of games. The strategy of seeding by providing free updates and discounts that were not available in physical media helped Steam to become a viable option. The Same strategy is also followed by the Fortnite developer and Steam rival Epic Games Store which was launched in 2018. It gives away a free game every week. This has helped Epic to get a significant foothold in the market dominated by Steam. Even though Epic games store lacks in the number of feature layers that Steam provides. Valve had realized that its user base is a very valuable asset. To increase the engagement in the platform it added community forums. Where fellow users could discuss and help each other with any topic. Steam also introduced many new features including statistics tracking system and friend list. Now Steam was shaping up like a social media platform over its core interaction as a mere platform.
In 2008 Steam introduced a filtering system. That helps users to better find their desired product. Now the catalog could be browsed according to the genre. In 2012 Steam introduced Steam Guard. This included two-factor authentications to curb frauds and also launched its mobile app. In 2012 Steam introduced Steam Guard. This included two-factor authentications to curb frauds and also launched its mobile app. In 2016 Valve introduced the support for VR headsets. It collaborated with HTC to introduce the Vive headset. Later extending support for Oculus Rift.
Present and Future
Recently Steam launched a new VR title, Half-life: Alyx with the introduction of its new VR headsets. It’s one of the best virtual reality applications to date and the game received critical acclaim from reviewers and users alike. Valve is again trying a paradigm shift for pushing Virtual Reality to the mainstream and so far they have been successful in it.
Steam was one of the first digital marketplaces and they are continually working on improving their platforms. Even with new competitors, Steam has been a relevant force for over 15 years. New technological ventures and platforms can learn a lot from Valve with its drive to be innovative and ambitious in its approach.
In todays world , management is the base of any organization or administration to accomplish the desired goals . It is not a new term or a new skill because it has always been a part and parcel of all the ancient civilizations in the world.
Ancient texts and scriptures of many countries like India, china, America throws the important light on management. We can find the fundamentals of management in the ancient scripture of Bhagwat Gita. Bhagwat Gita contains rich of managerial techniques which was written a thousands of years ago.
During the first pre world war phase (1870-1974) there is a rapid change in economies in terms of trade, transportation and communication which indeed led to globalization. Globalization made management as one of the important aspect of development where the classical management theories were developed.
Classical Theories Of Management :
SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT THEORY :
Scientific management theory was developed by “FREDRICK WINSLOW TAYLOR”. This theory got popularity in the period of 1880s and 1890s in U.S manufacturing industries with its analyzing techniques of work flow .
The Principles Of Scientific Management Theory are:
Taylor theory was mostly concentrated on shop floor level and suggested functional foremanship to the industries.
1:Science not a rule of thumb, this principle specifies that organizations should constantly develop new methodologies which makes work easier, faster and quicker rather than sticking to the old methods.
2:Harmony,not discord, this principle specifies that maintaining a positive atmosphere in the organization improves the productivity.
3:Cooperation, not individualism, all the activities of the organization must carried with mutual coordination in order to get improved results.
4:Development of each and every person to his (or) her greatest efficiency, this principle specify that organization should ensure the growth of every individual according to their performance.
ADMINISTRATIVE THEORY:
Administrative theory was developed by “HENRY FAYOL(1841-1925)” .Fayol mainly focused on the administrative management of the organization and structure of work tasks.
Fayol concentrated on top level management and he suggested unit of command. Administrative theory is quite opposite to the scientific theory.
Fayol’s generalized principles ofmanagement:
Fayol developed 14 principles for the organizational development. Fayol consider that effective management of an organization would lead to efficient results.
Fayol’s five functions of management:
Fayol considered that categorizing the functions of management helps the organization in day to day progress of work. The five management functions are:
Planning: This function is used to classify the needs of an organization and arranging them into tasks to develop strategies in order reach the desired goals.
Organizing: This function is used to determine the appropriate process to complete a task.
Commanding: This function is used to supervise the subordinates in completion of day to day tasks.
Coordinating: This function helps in integrating with different kind of groups and making things get done efficiently.
Controlling: This function ensures in evaluating the overall tasks according to the plan set and making changes if needed.
BUREAUCRATIC THEORY:
Bureaucracy theory was developed by “MAX WEBER(1864-1920)” .This theory was generated during the industrial revolution of Germany to manage it’s growing industrial enterprises.
Weber mainly concentrated on the top level management of an organization. According to weber the bureaucratic organization is more rational and can get control over every individual employ. He developed six ideal principles of bureaucracy.
Six principles of bureaucratic theory:
Authority Hierarchy: It is a chain of command to promote individual’s effort to accomplish the organizational goal.
Formal rules and Regulations: These are rules and procedures that are to be followed by the employ’s of entire organization .
Division of Labour: The whole work flow is divided into tasks and distributed among the employees according to their ability.
Career Orientation: Promotion of loyalty among the employs and making the long term relations with the organization.
Impersonality: Making decisions according to the facts rather than personal interests.
Formal selection process: Hiring employ’s according to their skills, qualification , experience etc…
CONCLUSION:
As management & leadership are closely related to each other which has been provided since ages. With globalization management studies has undergone changes in formal study of management which needs a constant experimenting. These classical theories enhance the management abilities and predicts the control behavior of an organization.
