Dear prospective student,
Did you know that, on an average day, professionals spend over 65% of their working hours away from their desk? This means office buildings around the globe are regularly half-empty, yet organizations still pay for the space! How is this sustainable?
Or, when an online store opens a brick-and-mortar one, did you know that online sales go up in that geographic area? As e-commerce players are quickly realizing, a symbiotic relationship is often essential for success.
