HONG KONG,
CHINA - Media OutReach - 26 June 2020 - If you have ever been called a
"jack-of-all-trades," you can rest assured the phrase "master of
none" isn't far behind. At the very least, it is often implied. But how
relevant is this old saying in today's business world?

 

Unless you are a jack-of-all-trades
who works in an organisation that values your broader skill sets, you may feel
like your talents are being wasted.

 

But there is good news! Recent
research into individuals with diverse skill sets found that
jacks-on-all-trades are more likely to start a business and succeed as
entrepreneurs than those who have only a specialised skill. The reason? They
can see more opportunities and are more resourceful when solving problems in an
uncertain situation like setting up a new business. It doesn't stop there.
Jacks-of-all-trades who are particularly passionate about developing and
nurturing startups are more likely to form highly competent and motivated
teams.

 

The study was conducted by Kevin Au, Associate
Professor at the Department of Management, as well as directors for both the
Centre for Entrepreneurship and the Centre for Family Business at The Chinese
University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School. His collaborators included Anna
Hsu, his PhD student; Prof. Yingzhao Xiao at Tianjin University; and Prof.
Marta Dowejko, Research Assistant Professor of Department of Management at Hong
Kong Baptist University's School of Business.

 

The researchers were curious about
what lay beyond the past findings of human capital research. Such research
showed that, as employees, jacks-of-all-trades did not do as good in on-the-job
performance as those who had specialized skills. Past research also showed that
individuals who gained a variety of skills through training were more likely to
start their own business. Yet if a jack-of-all-trades is likely to become an
entrepreneur, he or she should also be good at launching startups.

 

Delving Deeper Into Startup Development

Wishing to know more how a
jack-of-all-trades does in the initial stage of the startup process, the
researchers designed their study to investigate how having a broad range of
skills contributed to the development of an idea from scratch in an accelerated
setting.

 

The study, entitled Jack-of-all-trades' with passion: Keener to pursue startup
in a team, was longitudinal and used data
collected from CUHK Business School's Empowering Young Entrepreneurs Program. The programme's goal was to awaken the entrepreneurial
spirit of young people in Hong Kong. It provided an opportunity for them to
engage in training and entrepreneurial activities. Jointly organised by Google and CUHK in 2013, a total of 902 students, existing
entrepreneurs and full-time employees enrolled in the programme. Multiple
rounds of questionnaires were sent to the participants during a five-month
period, from December 2013 to April 2014. The final results came from an
analysis of a smaller subset of working adults who continued the program after
the survey. This group was considered the most reliable data set.

 

The study found evidence that
individuals with a greater range of skills are more inclined to start a
business. Particularly, they are statistically more likely to follow up on
their entrepreneurial intentions and take a more active role of forming a team
in the startup process.

 

"Having a wide variety of
skills makes it easier for these individuals to explore and exploit
opportunities," Prof. Au explains. "It's as if they have more
antennae to detect the problems and find resources that nobody has seen. Seeing
those problems gives them an edge in finding creative solutions. That's where
the opportunities for new businesses lie."

 

The Right Type of Passion

Just as interesting as the variety
of skills, passion is a crucial factor that contributes to entrepreneurial
success. However, the type of passion matters.

 

Previous studies have identified
three different types of entrepreneurial passion. They are: passion for inventing,
which is linked to the initial recognition of opportunities that make
entrepreneurial activities possible; passion for founding, which is related to
how likely a person is to establish a venture to explore an identified
opportunity; and passion for developing, which is concerned with developing a
venture so the original vision is brought to fruition.

 

"Any given entrepreneur may
exhibit different levels of passion at different stages of the startup process,"
says Prof. Au. He notes that having the intention to start a business is not
the same as having the emotional capacity to overcome obstacles that may
present themselves in abundance during the startup phase of a business venture.

 

Specifically, the study found that
when entrepreneurs possess a strong passion for developing a venture, there is
an even stronger positive relationship between skill variety and team
formation. "In other words," says Prof. Au, "entrepreneurs with a
variety of skills are more likely to put their skills into use to form a team
if they also possess a strong passion for developing."

 

How does that actually work? Prof.
Au explains that when multi-talented entrepreneurs exhibit a great sense of
passion to develop a venture, they attract like-minded individuals to form
teams to turn their ideas into reality. And when potential investors witness
solid teamwork and creative synergy within the teams, they are more likely to
inject capital into the startups.

 

"Like attracts like when
potential team members witness the passion and confidence of the
jack-of-all-trades," says Prof. Au.

 

"By contrast, entrepreneurs who
are lacklustre in developing their ventures are likely to be unmotivated to
form teams. This in spite of the fact that they are multi-talented. As such,
jack-of-all-trades must possess a high level of passion for developing their
ventures to succeed in the long run," says Prof. Au.

 

Here is a formula for
entrepreneurial success: If you are a jack-of-all-trades, and you possess a
high level of passion for developing a venture, team up with other
jacks-of-all-trades who share the same type of passion. The chance of your
startup becoming a successful, long-term venture will increase.

New line-up will captivate users with its premium design, sophisticated picture quality, AI-powered innovation and immersive sound experience

 

Samsung Q950TS QLED 8K TV

 

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 25 June 2020 - Samsung Electronics Singapore unveiled its 2020 TV line-up today, featuring its next-generation QLED 8K TVs, expanded QLED, Crystal UHD TV ranges, as well as an all-new soundbar line-up. With artificial intelligence (AI)-based innovations powering a more immersive viewing experience, as well as intelligent, connected features, the 2020 line-up delivers the ultimate home entertainment experience.

 

The flagship Q950TS QLED 8K TV is the cornerstone of this year's line-up. It is the first TV in the industry to feature surround sound audio, true-to-life 8K resolution and a stunning, ultra-thin form factor. Samsung will also launch the Q800T QLED 8K TV range as part of its 2020 QLED 8K TV line-up.

 

"8K and QLED technology is changing the way we consume content on TVs. With the growth of gaming and streaming content, as well as increased adoption of 8K formats, Singapore consumers are demanding more from their TVs. Our QLED 8K TVs are engineered to exceed consumer expectations now and in the years to come. We are also noting the shift to bigger TV screen sizes as more households perceive the TV as a communal piece of technology where families gather together to enjoy their favourite content," said Steven Koh, Director, TV & AV, Samsung Electronics Singapore. "Our 2020 line-up offers extensive choices for households, boosted by industry-leading innovation and unparalleled smart features that will redefine the consumer viewing experience at home."

 

Reinventing TV Design with QLED 8K

The Q950TS QLED 8K TV essentially eliminates the bezel around the display to create a screen-to-body ratio of nearly 99 percent, the largest in the market. When watching from a distance, users can experience a stunning Infinity Screen effect where the bezels seemingly disappear. The result is an even more immersive viewing experience that eliminates the boundaries between the TV and its surroundings.

 

In addition, the ultra-thin Q950TS QLED 8K TV boasts a thickness of only 15 millimetres across the entire display. In combination with its completely flat back panel, the TV can lay flush against the wall^[1] or create a striking silhouette when placed on a media stand.

 

Separately, the Q800T features a minimalistic 4-side Boundless Design, which creates design harmony for every home.

 

Redefining Picture Quality

The 2020 QLED 8K line-up reflects Samsung's commitment to lead the industry in the implementation, adoption and playback of 8K content. As a founding member of the 8K Association, Samsung has partnered the association to establish a first-of-its-kind certification programme to distinguish 8K-enabled TVs and other devices. Each model in the 2020 QLED 8K line-up is certified by the programme and meets the requirements of the 8K Association's Certified Test Specifications^[2] as well as the Consumer Technology Association's 8K Ultra HD Display Definition^[3].

 

This year, users will be able to enjoy and stream AV1 codec videos filmed in 8K on Samsung QLED 8K TVs, among the first in the industry to support the playback of native 8K content. Samsung is also working with partners like YouTube to create pathways for streaming native 8K content.

 

In addition to building out the 8K ecosystem across the industry, the QLED 8K line-up allows consumers to experience the power of 8K resolution even if they are watching lower resolution content, or in an unforgiving environment.

• Improved 8K AI upscaling^[4] with Samsung's 8K Quantum Processor: Leveraging on Samsung's semiconductor technology, the Q950TS and Q800T QLED 8K TV's next-generation 8K Quantum Processor features improved AI upscaling capabilities that use deep learning to analyse and identify the characteristics of individual pixels. It then restores different elements of the image to create a pristine 8K picture, regardless of the content source.
• Adaptive Picture: The Q950TS and Q800T QLED 8K TVs also leverage the power of AI to provide an enhanced entertainment experience in various viewing environments. While traditional TV sensors can only adjust screen brightness based on the ambient light in the room, Adaptive Picture accounts for the distribution of light within the particular scene, ensuring that the TV can maintain a clear picture in both dark and bright rooms. Users can experience picture perfect quality, regardless of the time of day or the content they are watching.

 

2020 Samsung QLED TV Line-up: An Enhanced TV Experience for Any Home

In addition to the QLED 8K TVs, Samsung also unveiled the 2020 QLED 4K TV line-up spanning across four series -- Q95T, Q80T, Q70T and Q60T. Available in screen sizes ranging from 43 to 85 inches, the 2020 QLED 4K TV line-up features the most powerful 4K experience in any home.

 

QLED is Safe on Eyes

While prolonged staring at bright screens is known to cause harm to the eyesight, Samsung's QLED 8K and 4K TVs are the first in the industry to receive verification proving that the various type of lights emitted by its QLED TVs pose no photobiological LED hazard. Both its QLED 8K and 4K TVs have received "no photobiological LED hazard" verifications from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and "eye safety" certification from Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE)^[5].

 

An Immersive Sound Performance

Audio is as important when it comes to creating a complete immersive viewing experience. The 2020 QLED series delivers some of the best TV audio features in the market, including side and overhead speakers, as well as sub-woofers in the back^[6]. The introduction of the Object Tracking Sound (OTS)^[7] and OTS+^[8], which uses AI-based software to match the movement of audio sound with the movement of objects on the screen, delivers crisp and clear surround sound up to 4.2.2 channel.

 

Combined with the Active Voice Amplifier (AVA)^[9], a real-time intelligent feature which detects ambient and background noise and automatically enhances voice clarity, users can enjoy dimensional and dynamic audio that lives up to the large screen viewing experience.

 

Reimagining the TV Experience

 

Samsung Q950TS QLED 8K TV

 

Consumers today are consuming more streaming content than ever before. That is why the 2020 QLED TV series offers unique features that help users better enjoy their content and interact with their different devices.

 

• The 2020 QLED TV series makes the gaming experience even more immersive. The Real Game Enhancer+^[10] offers AMD FreeSync^TM for gamers to enjoy smoother game play and clearer game picture by reducing tearing and stuttering.
• More consumers today are multitasking and using their mobile devices while watching content on their TVs. Multi-View^[11] ensures that these users do not miss a thing on either screens by projecting their mobile device screen onto the TV alongside a separate window for their TV content. With 14 different layouts, users can customise their viewing experience, from side-by-side viewing to picture-in-picture viewing, along with several other options. In addition, users can also choose to mirror their phone screens to the TV with Tap View^[12] by simply tapping their smartphone on the TV.
• Add a splash of personality and elevate any space with Samsung's Magic Screen^[13], which allows users to use the QLED TV as an info panel, a display for personal photos or a decorative wallpaper that blends into the surrounding. With Magic Screen and Magic Screen+¹³, users can experience more intuitive and simpler mobile uploads, as well as a new auto gallery that automatically chooses the most appealing picture layout.
• Your Samsung TV is smarter than ever with the integration of smart assistants. With Bixby^[14], consumers can use voice commands to automatically change the mood of a room with video or music options in addition to essential voice features such as TV control and content search. The 2020 QLED TV line-up also works with third-party voice assistants like Google Assistant. For a truly bespoke experience, Samsung SmartThings app provides an ecosystem of connected devices^[15] to enable a smart home, empowering users to take control of their viewing habits even further such as adapting the lighting in the room.

 

2020 Samsung Crystal UHD TV: Vivid Colours with Crystal Display

Samsung is also introducing a refreshed UHD TV line-up, which features powerful picture quality made possible by the 4K Crystal Processor in stunning details with High-Dynamic Range, clean cable solutions, Auto Game Mode and Smart TV functions.

 

In addition, the Crystal UHD TV TU8000 series now comes equipped with the Magic Screen^[13] feature that allow users to harmonise the TV with their interior design, while sharing their favourite moments.

 

Samsung Q Series Soundbars: Audio Synergy with Samsung QLED TVs

Along with the new line-up, Samsung has also refreshed its Q Series soundbar range -- the HW-Q800T, HW-Q70T and HW-Q60T. The soundbars sync with any 2020 QLED TV series to combine and enhance sound through both speakers for a new level of acoustic immersion like never before.

 

Samsung's new Q-Symphony technology creates a more dynamic and multi-dimensional soundscape by pairing the QLED TV's built-in speakers as an additional audio channel when connected to a Q Series soundbar. By utilising these audio channels, Samsung Q-Symphony delivers a fuller and richer sound that must be heard to be believed.

 

Additionally, Samsung is also launching the S Series and T Series soundbars:

• The S Series soundbar surrounds users with powerful sound, all in one elegantly refined design featuring Kvadrat textile that complements any interior with the perfect balance of style, cutting-edge technology and durability.
• The compact T Series soundbar brings adaptive smart sound by analysing the audio tracks of each content to optimise the sound for any TV viewing, be it a loud sports match or a drama with quiet dialogue.

 

Local Availability and Pricing

The Samsung QLED 8K, QLED and Crystal UHD TV line-ups, and soundbars are now available in Singapore on Samsung Online Store and major consumer electronics & IT stores.

HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 25 June 2020 - The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is pummelling the local economy deeper into recession. With the unemployment rate hitting a 15-year high, many grass-roots citizens have seen their income significantly reduced, which is profoundly affecting their livelihoods. This year in the approach to Tuen Ng Festival, Chinachem Group (the Group) is co-operating with the Foodlink Foundation to distribute 2,500 food packs through 11 non-profit organisations. The food packs will be sent to people in need in the Tsuen Wan, Kwai Tsing and Tung Chung areas, accompanied by Tuen Ng Festival greetings.

Chinachem's Volunteer Team visited one of the non-profit organizations to deliver the food packs in person to 100 Tsuen Wan residents on 24 June. The rest of the food packs will be distributed to the needy through the partnering non-profit organisations next month. 

 

Wong Hung Han, Chief Cooperation Officer of Chinachem Group said, "The Group has an enduring commitment to corporate social responsibility; it has been paying close attention to the progress of the epidemic as well as the needs of citizens. Having earlier donated 200,000 masks to the community, we have launched another round of support in co-operation with the Foodlink Foundation to deliver HK$500,000 worth of food packs to vulnerable citizens, in an effort to combat the impact of the coronavirus pandemic alongside them."

 

Fulfilling its commitment to make a positive impact on the community and create shared value, the Group has also launched an internal food donation programme, setting up a canned and dried food collection point at its head office to encourage staff members to participate in this meaningful event and disseminate the message of sharing with the needy.

• Symphony Connect Solution integrates WhatsApp into
  Deutsche Bank communication channels with clients
• It follows the successful introduction of
  WeChat via the Symphony platform in November 2019
• The WhatsApp integration addresses clients'
  needs to interact through their preferred channel, especially at a time when
  they need Deutsche Bank the most
• It represents the latest example of
  co-innovation between Deutsche Bank and Symphony

 

HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 25
June 2020 -
In a drive to continuously simplify and improve its client interactions through
secure and compliant channels, Deutsche Bank has become one of the first
companies to enable the Symphony Connect Solution for secure chat and
collaboration with its clients via WhatsApp. Following the successful introduction of the WeChat functionality in November
2019, more than 3 billion users can now securely and safely communicate with
Deutsche Bank employees, who are restricted in the platforms they can use due
to regulatory requirements. Through Symphony, Deutsche Bank can communicate
with clients anytime, anywhere via their preferred chat platform while meeting
stringent security and compliance criteria, such as surveillance and data
retention.

 

This
latest development, co-innovated with Symphony, expands Deutsche Bank's
diversification of its client interaction platforms, in addition to traditional
methods such as email and telephone calls. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought
into sharp focus how important it is for banks to stay in close contact with
clients to provide advice and expertise during this challenging period. 

 

"An
important part of our technology strategy is to enable our people to securely
meet our clients at a time and place of their choice, and bringing together
Symphony and WhatsApp is a truly innovative way to do so," says Bernd Leukert,
Chief Technology, Data and Innovation Officer at Deutsche Bank.

 

Stefan
Hoops, Head of the Corporate Bank at Deutsche Bank, added: "Our existing and
potential clients want to discuss their options with us. The integration of
WhatsApp with Symphony means we, and other businesses in the bank, can make
interactions with our clients even easier when they need us most."

 

"We
are committed to providing technologies that are aligned with our customer's
strategy while addressing industry-wide challenges such as security and
compliance. We are proud to have developed Symphony Connect Solutions that
support Deutsche Bank's digital offering," said David Gurlé, Symphony founder
and CEO. 

 

The
integration of WhatsApp follows last year's successful introduction of WeChat
via the Symphony platform. Deutsche Bank backed a partnership between Symphony
and Tencent to connect its internal Symphony users to the WeChat network.
Deutsche Bank was the first financial institution to have the WeChat
integration live in production. Today, it is helping colleagues across Deutsche
Bank's Corporate, Investment and Private Banks engage with customers using
WeChat, a particularly useful tool to support customer-connectivity during the
COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The connectivity
with Facebook's WhatsApp
is offered as part of the Symphony
Connect Solutions suite,
aimed at enabling customers to interact more easily with their clients,
counterparties, and partners, which also includes an interoperability for WeChat, Community Connect and Customer Connect.

 

Deutsche
Bank is a founding consortium member of Symphony and has participated in a
number of funding rounds since its inception helping to grow and scale the
platform.

After years of close cooperation with the international gaming community, AOC is now the top gaming-monitor brand globally

 

SINGAPORE - Media
OutReach - 24 June
2020 - For more than 80 years, AOC, a global leader in
display technology, has designed and created an award-winning array of
top-performing monitors for millions of loyal customers in over 120 countries.
These customers include a large AOC fan base within the fast-growing global
gaming community. With its design strategy based on continual product
development and consultation with these gaming devotees, AOC is now the world
leader in gaming monitors, according to figures from market analysis firm
International Data Corporation (IDC).

 

The figures
were published in IDC's Quarterly Gaming Tracker for 2019Q4. In the category of
gaming monitors with refresh rates of 100Hz and above, IDC's figures indicate
AOC achieved its market-leading position with cumulative sales of more than 2.6
million units, for a market share of around 18%. Clearly, AOC gaming monitors
enjoy unrivaled popularity with gamers worldwide!

 

Advanced high-performance products a hit with gamers

Gamers are demanding
monitors in a range of styles and performance metrics, and AOC's successful
strategy is to meet the needs of both "pro" and leisure gamers,
staying ahead of the competition, ensuring aggressive design, unrivaled
performance and special features for the most demanding gamers. AOC's top
gaming monitor sub brand, Agon is a perfect example with refresh rates of up to
240Hz, a 0.5ms response time, and anti-tearing adaptive sync technology,
including G-Sync from Nvidia and AMD's FreeSync.

 

Providing top
performance for these different market segments, the AOC line-up includes the
34-inch CU34G2X, a superwide curved model in a 21:9 aspect ratio, where the
user can enjoy a full field of view. In the AOC Agon range, the 32-inch
AG323QCXE monitor has a curvature of 1500R, for a fully immersive gaming experience.
The brilliance of Nano IPS color can be experienced with AOC's 27-inch AG273QG,
a Quad HD (2560 x 1440) gaming monitor supporting Nvidia G-Sync anti-tearing
technology and muscling in with a furiously fast refresh rate of 165Hz and
response time of 1ms.

 

Developing the gaming-monitor market

Gaming monitors are now a large and fast-growing
market, with lots of potential for further growth, as esports attract a growing
band of dedicated enthusiasts. AOC has responded by working closely with game
developers to provide professional gaming displays and further build the
fast-evolving gaming community. AOC has, for example, sponsored the APAC
Cybercafe Tournament for the highly popular PUBG (PlayerUnknown's
Battlegrounds) game. AOC has also partnered with the world's most competitive
esports teams and organizers, including the IeSF and the G2 Esports club, to
develop such superb products as the G2 Series, and to reach out and meet the
needs of this unique audience.

 

This is the real explanation
of why AOC is now the world's most popular gaming monitor brand. AOC has
consistently stayed in touch with the market at a grassroots level, putting a
lot of effort into meeting the needs of professional gamers with the Hardcore
series, as well as those of casual video-game players. AOC has also worked
tirelessly with different gaming bodies to fine-tune their world-beating
products, garnering in the process many prestigious awards, including the much
coveted iF and Red Dot design awards, plus an array of product-review awards
from such well known publications as PC World, Digit, PC Gamer, and Chip.

 

AOC will of course continue
to develop its offering for the gaming-monitor segment. In particular, the G3
and Agon 4 series are upcoming, equipped with a slew of top-end features that
include 1000R curvature, UHD resolution and all the brilliance of High Dynamic
Range (HDR) technology.    

About Agon:

To match the increasing
demand for a competitive edge and top-tier performance, AOC launched Agon --
AOC's specialist gaming monitor brand. Named after the Ancient Greek word for
"struggle" or "contest", the Agon brand represents AOC's engagement with the
world of gaming. In addition to embracing new technologies, we've put our money
where our mouth is by sponsoring many leading eSports events and teams -- actively
driving the emergence of gaming as the global profession it has become today. Whether
you're an eSports professional or an aspiring home gamer, Agon's
performance-driven specifications and convenient features will eliminate any
obstacle encountered on the path to glory.
