Le nickel de Nouvelle Calédonie : un métal très convoité [2021]

Image
Le troisième et dernier référendum de la Nouvelle Calédonie le 13 décembre 2021 a été particulièrement suivi par la France en raison de son futur statut en tant que collectivité territoriale ou d’État indépendant. Cette votation fut cependant aussi scrutée de très près par plusieurs acteurs mondiaux, publics et privés. Gisement du grand Sud – Prony Resources   Car l’archipel néo-calédonien attise l’attention de nombreux observateurs internationaux pour une double raison : la première est son positionnement géographique dans l’espace de l’Océan Pacifique Sud, où la montée en puissance de la Chine suscite une inquiétude renforcée chez les puissances régionales comme l’Australie et la Nouvelle Zélande, alliées des États-Unis (d’où l’annonce officielle de l’alliance militaire AUKUS le 15 septembre 2021) ; la seconde, celle qui nous intéresse le plus en la présente analyse, est sa richesse minéralogique, laquelle consiste ...

The information waste of organizations [2024]

  Too often, administrative or commercial structures deploy contact or networking interfaces whose effectiveness is rarely evaluated, often serving merely as a superficial showcase. While this approach may create an illusion of engagement, it is far from advisable and sharply underscores a strategic shortfall in leveraging data through these channels. Non-Communication Interfaces Some time ago, I published an analysis in an online media outlet titled “The 2.0 Syndrome of Non-Contact,” where I highlighted the surprising inertia of commercial websites (both B2B and B2C) that provide contact or exchange interfaces without deriving any meaningful value from them. I noted, in particular: “ Unlike Web 1.0, where a simple storefront—ranging from basic simplicity to refined sophistication—was sufficient, Web 2.0 demands interaction. The community aspect is paramount, and this has significant implications for companies or organizations that merely 'follow the trend' without fully ...
