United Auto Workers’ President Gary Jones will take a leave of absence effective Sunday after a vote by the union’s executive board, amid a widening federal corruption probe into the union. I want to do what’s best for the members of this great union,” Jones said Saturday. The union has been rocked by a federal corruption amid high stakes labor contract negotiations with General Motors and Ford. Twelve people have been charged in the corruption investigation, including Edward Robinson, a union o

Qualcomm, Micron Technology, Qorvo, Broadcom, AMD and Nvidia are among the top 25 S&P 500 companies with the highest revenue exposure to China, according to Refinitiv. Apple also made the list with a 19.6% sales exposure to China. Casinos Wynn Resorts and Las Vegas Sands have significant China revenue exposure, 75% and 61% respectively, due to their big footprint in Macau. Overall, information technology is the most vulnerable to a breakdown in the trade war as the median China revenue exposure

As of Saturday, companies have already filed 146 exclusion requests from the fourth round of tariffs. Apple, for example, is asking for tariff exclusions for the Apple Watch, iPhone parts and the HomePod among other items. Amid the uncertainty, trade lawyers are encouraging companies to file exclusions for the $300 billion of products covered by list four. Companies, however, will need to have patience with the exclusion process – or cross their fingers for a trade deal that results in Trump lif

Investors lately have been heeding that classic bit of advice for writers: “Kill your darlings.” While the S&P 500 churned to a new record high for the week, a broad sampling of name-brand e-commerce upstarts had their shares shredded. But the market took no mercy, leaving those four stocks down between 20% and 40% in the last week. What’s hurting these high-concept, high-valuation tech phenoms is not the global-slowdown and trade-friction themes that pressured the broad market in late summer. I

Berkshire benefited as resilience in consumer spending helped cause U.S. economic growth to slow less than expected, offsetting a contraction in business investment. Berkshire said third-quarter operating income rose to $7.86 billion, or roughly $4,816 per Class A share, from $6.88 billion, or roughly $4,189 per share, a year earlier.

But he also works with other teams, including search, YouTube, Google’s cloud team and the Verily life-sciences company that’s part of Alphabet (Google’s parent company). Google has dabbled in health care for years, lured by the size of the opportunity. Google hired David Feinberg from Geisinger Health, a system of hospitals based in Pennsylvania, toward the end of 2018 and put him in charge of a newly created division called Google Health. One idea that’s been tossed around internally, the pers

Think of nuclear power and you may imagine the worst — atomic bombs, reactors melting down and radioactive waste. But while its history is checkered, nuclear energy mostly operates out of sight, generating about 10% of the world’s total electricity and 29% of the world’s low-carbon power. Nuclear reactors generate energy day and night, and produce no greenhouse gasses. That’s because nuclear power plants are expensive to build, construction often takes longer than expected and public opposition

(Apple’s service, Apple TV+, launched Friday.) Here’s the quick breakdown:Apple will give customers a free year of Apple TV+ when they buy a new iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV box. Subscribers to Apple Music’s student plan also get the TV service for free. Apple, for example, will likely sell about 100 million gadgets eligible for the free year of Apple TV+ by the end of the quarter. We already saw the first casualty in the streaming wars on Oct. 29 when Sony announced it would shut down its live

With third-quarter earnings season is in the books, the trajectory is clear: Snap, Pinterest and Amazon’s ad businesses are growing faster than the industry giants, giving brands of all sizes more opportunities to diversify their marketing spending. That distinction belongs to Snap, which reported 50% growth in the quarter to $446.2 million. After Snap reported earnings on Oct. 22, analysts at J.P. Morgan Chase said the company’s story was “strengthening” and that it was poised to capture greate

News of a Google hardware acquisition conjures traumatic images of product graveyards and rebranding nightmares. Google’s hardware struggles go back to its earliest days where it has lagged hardware giants like Apple and Samsung. It also got Rick Osterloh, who leads Google’s hardware division today, out of it. Since then, it gas garnered share in the home speaker market but struggled to figure out how to market Nest and its home products, changing the branding nearly every year since. “They say

In fact, according to Musk, “vacations will kill you.” “The first time I took a week off, the Orbital Sciences rocket exploded and Richard Branson’s [Virgin Galactic] rocket exploded in that same week. “The second time I took a week off, my rocket exploded,” Musk said. After two hospitals misdiagnosed him, he “came very close to dying,” said Musk in “Elon Musk,” before being properly treated in the nick of time. “That’s my lesson for taking a vacation,” Musk said in the book.

In the opening ceremony for BlizzCon 2019, Blizzard unveiled Shadowlands, World of Warcraft’s eight expansion in 15 years. In a deep dive panel after the ceremony, game director Ion Hazzikostas revealed some serious changes to the way players level in World of Warcraft — as well as a shift in the numbered level players display under their name. Once Shadowlands arrives next year, all max level players will transform from level 120 back to 50. In Shadowlands, players will level from 50 to 60; the

Still, it is charming to see in the credits of The Outer Worlds a tribute to all of the Dungeons & Dragons characters who died during development. Cotto, a designer with Obsidian since 2016, ran a fifth-edition D&D campaign during development that took out five level 7 characters. They weren’t the only casualties; 3D artist Daniel Platt bagged a level 12 Barbarian Dragonborn in “At Death’s Door.” He concocted a big scenario where we destroyed an evil tome of magic and saved the realm right befor

品牌定位下调 中国市场”失宠” 斯柯达陷边缘化危机 本报记者/刘媛媛/上海报道 一场”降级”风波让许久未有新动作的斯柯达品牌再次成为舆论焦点。 近日，有外媒报道称，大众集团有意下调旗下斯柯达品牌的定位，使其与低成本品牌展开竞争。大众集团首席执行官赫伯特·迪斯（Herbert Diess）认为，如果一家汽车制造商旗下有三四个相似的品牌为同一目标群体而战，那么最终所有品牌都会收到内耗的负面反馈。 在《中国经营报》记者的采访过程中，亦有业内人
