DIRECTOR ’ S LETTER
CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING IS not a new trend , nor is it an uncommon occurrence in the business world ; however , the introduction of Alphabet , Inc ., Google ’ s new parent company , seemed to take us all by surprise . We dissect the restructure in this month ’ s leadership piece , looking to determine what inspired the global tech leader to the launch Alphabet , how this change can benefit each individual brand and what other businesses can learn from this leader .
Innovation is an ongoing theme in business , and the role of the digital landscape within corporations continues to increase , causing some companies to undergo an internal restructure : The C-level suite is expanding its focus on digitization , and with this expansion comes the growing role of the CIO . In this month ’ s technology feature , we not only examine the global impact of retail-based CIOs but also take a close look at Target , and the role of the CIO within of the nation ’ s largest retailers .
In this issue , we also list 10 of the top tech-based innovators across the globe , looking at the products they ’ ve provided and the impact of each , as well as feature a report on Marken , the logistics and supply chain-company that is delivering solutions for the life sciences industry worldwide .
