Scope In 2010, Microsoft introduced the Accessibility Checker to its Office suite of programmes. As the name suggests, this tool enables users to scan through documents to make sure that they are accessible for people with disabilities. It works in a similar way to spell check and includes prompts about incorporating alt text with non-text elements (such as images and videos), checks that the text is easy to read against the background and that any tables are easy to navigate. In 2018, the tool

International MBA students, according to GMAC – the body responsible for administering the GMAT MBA entrance examination – revealed in an annual survey of prospective business school candidates that the US may be losing its appeal as a study destination for international graduate-level business students. In February, 43 percent of non-US registrants on GMAC’s MBA.com portal said they would be less likely to study in the US after Donald Trump’s shock win, up from 35 percent in the immediate afte

The world of work is in a constant state of flux. The skills needed to be successful in today’s workforce differ substantially from those of the past. By the same logic, future occupations will also require completely new skills. New roles will come into being, some of which we don’t yet have names for, as other functions become obsolete. The next decade is predicted to be a time of particularly intense change. The World Economic Forum predicts that we will need to reskill more than 1 billion p

If you have any assumptions about what aging means, you’re probably wrong. How old we are doesn’t and shouldn’t determine who we are. This is particularly pertinent in a world where we are living longer, healthier lives and where birth rates are falling. Our aging population means it’s more important than ever that we maximize our opportunities to be happy and productive. To achieve this, we must think of people as individuals rather than defining them by their age. We all know people who don’

Pitchfork-waving internet people: these are Album Reviews Sub Editor Mansoor Iqbal's picks for the best albums of 2018 - not DrunkenWerewolf's overall listing. Direct your abuse to him personally. The world continued to be a terrible place in 2018. It’s not even worth listing all the terrible things that have happened, because you were there, weren’t you? At least we still had the sweet, sweet sounds of music, as this decade continues to shape up to be a fine one for popular music, in new and s

Uber is a ride-hailing app, that allows consumers to order a private or shared car with a few taps of a mobile app, with payment taken automatically from users’ accounts. As well as being more convenient than hailing a traditional cab, it also offers service at a considerably lower price point. Founded in 2009 by long-serving CEO Travis Kalanick (now resigned, though still on the board) and Garrett Camp in 2009 and launched the following year, Uber rapidly became an entrenched transport option.

Working with leading schools, one HBS alum hopes to bring ‘Ivy League-standard’ professional business education to the masses with a new online school.

I like cigarettes, I like beer, and I like fried chicken. My job is almost entirely sedentary and I have, as you will read later, a ‘weak core’. I’ve never had a problem with any of this, and have always viewed more active pursuits – and those who indulge in them – with a mixture of disdain and trepidation. But something has happened to me in the last couple of years. Something perhaps inevitable, given the above: the paunch. Affecting not to care about your figure is one thing when you’re a sn
