Nokia is partnering with Nigeria telecommunication giant, Glo. According to PMM Nigeria as reported in Tekedia yesterday, Glo will be offering 6GB of Internet data access for six months for N7, 500 on the Nokia E6, E7 and N8 devices.
In a statement, Mahomed Jameel, Globacom Group COO says the offer was a further demonstration of the company’s commitment to giving more value to subscribers. It is important to state that Glo has pushed into Value Added Services since airline business has become very price sensitive and a commodity business in Nigeria.

They offer a world of convenience, empowerment tools and fun in a variety of content tailored to suit individual needs.

“The mega deals package ties in with the network’s philosophy of empowering Nigerians technologically and giving them access to the best value and pricing,” says Jameel.
Ashutosh Tiwary, Globacom GM for Prepaid Marketing says subscribers may also choose between the Nokia E6, E7 and N8 series and still enjoy the benefits under the Glo Mega Deals including the 6GB data access and 20% bonus airtime, a model package selected to match the customer’s business and pleasure needs.

Disruptive Technologies, Innovation and Global Redesign: Emerging Implications
Introduction
In the last few years, most parts of the world have morphed into an electronically interdependent economic unit where a disruption in one marketplace affects the others. New technologies have emerged, transforming the ways we do business and, consequently, redesigning the world. Innovation in disruptive technologies pushes new and more agile firms to set new benchmarks, and forces established companies to incorporate evolving breakthroughs into their models or re-invent themselves to stay competitive.
Innovation thus remains a key driver in wealth creation, but the way it happens is changing as a result of new technologies, processes and tools. As social media networks advance, outsourcing ideas to the crowd has become common, while inter-company R&D that pools resources together is a new normal. From agriculture to print media, finance to mortgage and across sectors, industries, and disciplines, the world is being redesigned. The emerging implications are enormous—less energy for processing natural resources, less waste in processed raw materials—and these translate to positive effects on the environment. Yet, few research works exist about these developments, despite the exponential growth rate of new technologies with the potential to massively impact business and society.
Objective of the book
Accordingly, this project will assemble an edited collection of chapters on disruptive technologies, innovation, and the overall global redesign. The main objective of the book is to provide comprehensive evidence of research, case studies, practical and theoretical papers on the issues surrounding disruptive technologies, innovation, global redesign and their implications. The book will serve as a valuable resource on emerging and disruptive technologies, innovation and general global redesign.

Another Groupon Inspired Site, All4naija, Arrives In Nigeria To Challenge Dealdey and QluQlu
The Groupon business model seems very easy. The barrier to entry seems to be very small. Otherwise, why would people be entering with ease. Nigeria has just got its third major crowd buying site. The name is All4naija. They will compete alongside Dealdey and Qluqlu which are not necessarily established, but of course got into the game earlier. The sector is still for anyone to win as most of the these deals focus on Lagos disproportionately.
If they could move this deal to the market women using SMS and phone, someone will have a big day. Focusing on the internet users is good, but they need to expand to smartphones and SMS. That is where they need our parent company to help them develop apps or SMS based system.
These guys rock. Reading this document on their site tells you they have a business plan all set. Nice one. It communicates in the simplest simplicity what this business is all about.
Deals on a daily basis are our business. All4Naija.com provides a platform through which you can enjoy the finest pleasures of life in Lagos particularly, then Nigeria at large, or as some will say, Naija.
We know that there are many attractions out there which you would like to partake in but because of the countless number of opportunities available to you, making a choice might be overwhelming!
What we do is that we bring you one of these attractions daily in the form of a special package deal with an incredible discount. We also bring fantastic exposure to businesses whose product or service we host. We believe in a win-win situation for merchants and subscribers and therefore go the extra mile to guarantee your satisfaction in all our deals.
