Accidental operators can run their businesses with the ease of app-based technology.

Many real estate investors don’t set out to build rental businesses. Rather, they stumble into them. Think of the Gen Xer who just inherited their parent’s home, the professional who’s moving out of state for a new job but is reluctant to sell their current home, or the empty nester who bought a townhome for their college student to live in and is renting extra rooms out to other students.

Lithium and other critical minerals are in often-overlooked water sources like geothermal brines and oilfield produced water.

The clean energy transition is accelerating—but it’s running into a critical roadblock: the mineral supply chain. Lithium, cobalt, and other critical minerals power everything from electric vehicles to grid-scale batteries. But the world cannot mine these minerals fast enough to keep up.

The next wave of retail innovation turns climate technologies into growth engines.

Retail is changing, but not because it wants to.

Four ways to develop and incorporate mission as a strategic lever

In today’s business landscape, the most successful brands aren’t just selling products, they’re building movements. They don’t just fill shelves; they shape values.

It built a community and created competition.

The internet may be a well of ideas—but it can also get in the way of a good brainstorm session, according to research from Carnegie Mellon University.

We can all agree that the internet is an never-ending repository of information. But new research out of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) has found that, in some cases, “Googling” can get in the way of a good brainstorm session and actually hinder creativity.

The definition of “cool” would seem to be an ephemeral thing. (We’re not talking temperature here. We’re talking James Dean, Serena Williams, and Arthur Fonzarelli cool.) What inspires one to admire another would ostensibly vary from person to person.

First- and business-class fliers (as well as passengers on private jets) will have to pay an extra tax to offset their polluting flights.

Flying comes with a lot of carbon emissions, but not all plane seats are environmentally equal. Seats that take up more space, like business or first class, come with a higher personal carbon footprint than the tightly packed seats in economy. Private jets, which have fewer than 20 seats total, are even more polluting per person. Now a coalition of eight countries has pledged to tax so-called premium fliers as a way to raise funds for climate action.

Telecomm giant Huawei requested that allegations in a 16-count federal indictment be dismissed, but it was rejected by U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly.

A U.S. judge has ruled that China’s Huawei Technologies, a leading telecoms equipment company, must face criminal charges in a wide reaching case alleging it stole technology and engaged in racketeering, wire and bank fraud and other crimes.

U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly on Tuesday rejected Huawei’s request to dismiss the allegations in a 16-count federal indictment against the company, saying in a 52-page ruling that its arguments were premature.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The U.S. accuses Huawei and some of its subsidiaries of plotting to steal U.S. trade secrets, installing surveillance equipment that enabled Iran to spy on protesters during 2009 anti-government demonstrations in Iran, and of doing business in North Korea despite U.S. sanctions there.

During President Donald Trump’s first term in office, his administration raised national security concerns and began lobbying Western allies against including Huawei in their wireless, high-speed networks.

In its January 2019 indictment, the Justice Department accused Huawei of using a Hong Kong shell company called Skycom to sell equipment to Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions and charged its chief financial officer, Meng Wanzhou, with fraud by misleading the HSBC bank about the company’s business dealings in Iran.

Meng, the daughter of Huawei’s founder, was arrested in Canada in late 2018 on a U.S. extradition request but released in September 2021 in a high-stakes prisoner swap that freed two Canadians held by China and allowed her to return home.

Chinese officials have accused the U.S. government of “economic bullying” and of improperly using national security as a pretext for “oppressing Chinese companies.” In their motion to dismiss the broad criminal case, among other arguments Huawei’s lawyers contended that the U.S. allegations were too vague and some were “impermissibly extraterritorial,” and do not involve domestic wire and bank fraud.

The biggest maker of network gear, Huawei struggled to hold onto its market share under sanctions that have blocked its access to most U.S. processor chips and other technology. The limits led it to ramp up its own development of computer chips and other advanced technologies.

The company also shifted its focus to the Chinese market and to network technology for hospitals, factories and other industrial customers and other products that would not be affected by U.S. sanctions.
