Asian Companies able to Embrace Design as a Business Strategy? (Part 2)
2008-11-30 15:50:00
Originally Published July 09, 2006, edited and updated. It is not necessary, but if you are interested in the background of this article, do read Part 1 first. Here are some strategies I have found useful and successful in managing and fostering design as a business strategy in an organization. It should not matter if you ...
What stops you from being an entrepreneur?
2008-09-15 12:20:00
It’s a simple question, but one, I’m sure, will solicit a plethora of answers. I previously asked what the ingredients to starting a company were, and I’m sure part of the answers are there, e.g.: I don’t have a good idea I don’t have the knowledge I don’t have the team I don’t have the money etc. On the other side, ...
Luxurious software?
2008-09-10 03:18:00
I recently read a ‘filler’-article in Fortune Magazine, entitled “The luxury of choice.” It’s about how more and more products today are being customised for picky end-consumers. The way society is evolving, I think that such ‘pickiness’ is something that is more and more on the rise. I wonder if such a thing also applies ...
Google Chromic
2008-09-08 09:33:00
Not as impressed as Vince with the new browser. Buggy (error at startup time after migrating the favorites) unable to access gmail, suspicious googleUpdate.exe process still active after I’ve closed the app etc … However, the comic is quite a fascinating experience. Documenting software to transmit knowledge has always been something I’ve loved to do. The reason ...
Google Chrome and when vertical integration rocks
2008-09-03 08:47:00
“Ouch, it hurts, it hurts!” ? “Oh yeah, that feels good, so good!” Guess which one is all other browsers moaning collectively (Microsoft & Firefox no. 1), and which one is the geeks? Let me start by saying that Google Chrome rocks! OK, it crashed about 2 mins after I started it, and I think ...
Social media is dead (not a post about social media)
2008-09-02 09:08:00
I’ve been posting way too much about (social) media on Tech IT Easy and I’m sick & tired of it? of both social media *and* writing about it. There’s nothing left to say; everything that has been done, has been done. There will be some “process innovation,” sure, the internet is famous for it. But ...
Microsoft blocks ads. what?
2008-08-29 10:57:00
Hey there, planet mainstream here, are you in for some blockbuster scenarios? After 2 peaceful years of gardening new products and shopping (still checking if Yahoo comes in the right size) Microsoft has apparently decided to go extrovert and check out the competition. The new internet explorer, IE8, marketed as the ?discrete one? comes with ...
Riding the Hype Cycle: Behavioral Economics
2008-08-25 07:39:00
Behavioural Economics made the Gartner Emerging Technology Hype Cycle again this year. Unfortunately I don?t have access to that report, so I?ve really little clue about why a theory is on the same curve with wikis, SOA and other, well, technologies. So, my knowledge of the report is based on snippets I found by searching ...
What are the ingredients to launching a company?
2008-06-07 12:47:00
Hello again. This here is a typical “fill in the blanks” write-up. I like thinking about starting companies, haven’t as yet engaged on starting one, though I feel relatively confident that I understand what it takes, but also that there are several ingredients that I still lack. Following is a diagram of all the components ...
Book review : The One Minute Entrepreneur
2008-05-14 06:36:00
Ken Blanchard, the best-selling author of The One Minute Manager (13m copies sold), was the guest of the eBay Speakers Series last week, to present his new book, the One Minute Entrepreneur. I had such a great time listening to him that I read his book in an hour on the same day. Like most ...

I just discovered the eBay Speaker Series with allows eBay employees to meet with experts and leaders of the industry.

Visual Thinking : a conference with Dan Roam
2008-04-17 08:48:00
Hello, Fidji here. I remember that, for one of my first articles on Tech It Easy, I spoke about it with Jeremy and he told me ?that?s interesting, but there is no way you are going to make your point if you don?t draw something to show it?. And I didn?t, because I couldn?t find ...
That hackint0sh-thing
2008-04-15 12:27:00
Many of you, I’m sure, are aware of the rise of the Hackint0sh?Mac OSX installed on other, more open, hardware. I think (I’m no historian), some attempts have been made before the Intel-move to do so, yet with moderate success, and I understand that the 90s saw a lot of clone-Macs, until Steve Jobs shut ...
Top-bloggers? competitive advantage
2008-04-10 11:21:00
No, this is not a list of absolutes or criteria, which you must meet to be a top-blogger. I’m not arrogant enough for that. This is a set of qualities that I consider certain top-bloggers to possess, their competitive advantage if you will, which I define as: “a differentiated and hard-to-replicate ability that generates rewards above ...
Why blogging isn?t for everyone
2008-04-07 12:52:00
I have decided a few days ago that I won’t be blogging for much longer. Well, actually, I have ca. 150 blogposts on my blog, and I plan to bring it up to 500 (which will take about a year), and then quit pretty permanently, and maybe start writing again when I’m retired. By that ...
Loss Leader Business Strategy
2008-04-02 18:15:00
Loss leader business strategy is a product pricing model, which aim at getting new customers by offering products for low or no profit, some times with a loss. Many businesses have implemented this strategy successfully. Loss leader strategy is considered a good strategy for building a brand image within customers, and it works especially well for news businesses.Loss leader pricing model works when 1) you have to market a related product for high profit, 2) you want to build a public image of a competitive company, 3) you want to outrun your competition, 4) you want to sell out your products quickly ? especially the product is becoming outdated, 5) you target a broad sector of customers and 6) when your company is in rapid growth phase with enough financial backup.But loss leader strategy is not so problem-free. You are dealing with money and consistently selling your product and services for lower cost can destroy your company?s future. You could implement this strategy with prope...

Sky-high bids on Adwords! Do they work?
2008-03-24 14:58:00
The bids on AdWords are soaring to new heights everyday. Some advertisers are even shelling out up to $10 per click. So, naturally the question arises - Is this complete madness or is there any logic behind such aggressive advertising? To me, it does make some sense to bid aggressively if you have the right strategy ...

Smartphone misconceptions
2008-03-21 09:20:00
Judging from Vincent?s latest post (and the comments!) about why he thinks Android will suck, there are many misunderstandings about global smartphone markets. First of all, they are a small subset of all handset market - just about 10%. There are many who are blinded by their US-centric power-user views. The echo chamber of blogs ...

Buying and selling websites
2008-03-20 11:04:00
In recent times, I have seen a growth in marketplaces which help website owners to buy/sell websites. It looks like a good idea, as it allows website owners to reshuffle their portfolio of websites and offer services / products which are more aligned towards to their largest consumer segment (read traffic on their most popular ...
Why Android will suck
2008-03-14 17:33:00
Hello again, Vincent here. Excuse me, I seem to be in a cranky mood lately, as far as technology goes, probably explaining my public rants towards the Facebooks and Scobles of this world. But I can’t let that stop me, here’s another one, aimed at Google’s Android. Yesterday, Rich Miner, group manager for mobile platforms ...
Ghosts, the new benchmark for music distribution
2008-03-07 06:56:00

Direct marketing value vs. referential marketing value
2008-03-06 14:43:00
Hello again, Vincent here. As some readers may know, I’ve both read and commented on Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point, and found it an interesting book to think about the nature of communities and how certain individuals or groups of them are more influential in passing on ideas than others. That said, while I believe that such ...
5 reasons why business is going green
2008-03-04 10:55:00
Hello again, Vincent here. Let’s face it, even with nature knocking on our door, some accountant will still ask what this whole thing is going to cost. Science, facts, morality? it’s not enough. I compare it to smoking; even though everyone knows smoking kills, it took pressure?social, governmental, commercial?for people to quit. And the same applies ...
The role of the internet for the retail of *physical* goods.
2008-03-01 21:11:00
Hello there, Vincent here. One of the stories, I covered last week in my links on my blog, uncovered an interesting statistic. Only about 3% of retail sales in the US happens online. I don’t think these stats are at all coincidental. While I see a bright future ahead for the online retail of media-products, ...
Business Strategy

The mystery of ?ambition? and how it correlates with success
2008-02-04 12:49:00
Hi, Vincent here. When we started our masters in entrepreneurship, so many years ago it seems, we were kindly informed that our chances of failure were pretty high?above 75% after 5 years, I believe. So that’s about on par with a career in Catalonian linguistics then? Nice! For my thesis, while it was not the primary ...
What does our logo & tagline say to you?
2008-02-02 23:51:00
It’s Saturday or Sunday depending on your time zone, so the chance is high that you’ve got more time to think hard for a fewsecondsand write a valuable comment than during frantic week days. I badly need your feedback indeed. This post aims at getting crowd consulting on something that matters a lot to me: the ...
Proposal For An Overall E-Business Strategy
2008-01-30 09:47:00
INTRODUCTION We live today in a world much beyond the hype of the dotcom bubble. It is a world in which even the most staid and traditional businesses, such as banks and insurance companies, would not be without their online and telephone service channels. In the United Kingdom the government is committed to putting all suitable ...
Welcoming Ms. Georgia Psyllidou on Tech IT Easy !!!

I’d like to spend some time, introducing her to you. Georgia is actually an acquaintance of Jeremy’s, though she caught my attention by some of the ...
Twitter revisited
2008-01-19 14:00:00
Those of you who know me, also know that I am not a friend of Twitter. Not yet! But this medium for micro-publishing seems to grow and grow. Swiss blogger Nico Luchsinger has counted some 800.000 users. So there is quite a good track record and the only thing missing is the business model. But a ...
Does Time Capsule hint about AirPort?s future?
2008-01-16 15:48:00
In last night?s (in European time) Keynote, Steve Jobs unveiled a batch of new products, though the rumored MacBook Air was the only that was truly interesting. What really surprised me, though, was Time Capsule. But not in any positive way. As a Mac OS X Leopard, laptop and external hard drive owner, I was hopeful ...
I Love how Apple?s logistics work
2008-01-16 13:33:00
Macbook Air components: 13 inch screen - same size as Macbooks Harddrives - compatible with either iPods or iPhones/Touches (SSD) Intel-CPU - possibly compatible with future portable devices There’s a lot of overlap here with other devices that Apple is selling. And probably under the hood too. Even if demand for the MBA is low, which I expect (certainly ...
2007: Tops and Flops
2008-01-06 15:11:00
For our first post in 2008, what about looking back at 2007 ? Any decent tech-related blog should go through the ritual overview of last year’s tech headlines. However, feeling quite lazy today, I finally chose to come up with a (personal) list of the big winners and losers of the year elapsed, which ...
What Arrowhead Towne Center Taught Me About Business Strategy
2008-01-03 08:02:00
“So, honey, will you go to the mall with me?” The question came as I sat at a table at Peter Piper Pizza, a restaurant bereft of New Years’ Day bowl games but filled with screaming children spending dollar after dollar earning tokens to “earn” such delights as candy, little green Army men and with 2.5 ...
Is 2008 the year of instant communication nirvana?
2007-12-28 13:23:00
On the web, 2007 was the year of the social web. Things like Facebook and Twitter have accelerated the way people can interact socially even at a distance. It?s a bit obvious to say that our possibilities to communicate will only get better next year. Internet is a communication network beneath it all. Innovation isn?t about ...
Is software high-tech? Take II
2007-12-15 16:36:00
No it is not. And when you think about it’s kind of a good thing. Because it means that the path from technology to revenue is that much shorter. Of course, the other side of that coin is that there are many people competing for that same revenue. After writing my last post on this, ...
Issues to consider when managing innovation: example of Intel?s lablets
2007-12-13 04:37:00
I am still a bit obsessed on how companies manage their innovation processes and how they make it fit with their culture. In this context, I recently read an HBS case about Intel research. The ?Intel lablets? particularly attracted my attention and raised general questions about the management of innovation. In 2004, Intel realized that faster ...

Psychological Effect of 99-Cent | Marketing and Business Strategy - Marketi
2007-11-23 22:56:00
Have you ever wondered why so many businesses use that dreaded 99-cent in their pricing strategy? Consumers perceive 99-cent as cheap; $14.99 looks much cheaper than $15 even if it's off by 1 cent. The psychological effect of adding 99-cent to the dollar value works wonder for prices like $99.99, $89.99, $79.99, $69.99 and etc. The consum5 Zoom(s)
Amazon?s Jeff Bezos on strategy & innovation (not Kindle-related!)
2007-11-20 13:53:00
I’m writing this post for two reasons. One is that I am incredibly interested in the subject of leadership and try to learn about it in whatever way I can. A second reason is that, even though my main focus on my blog is food and retail, what Matthias calls “old economy” (thanks Matthias!), I ...
Yo, ho! Lessons from Piracy for industry dynamics
2007-11-15 10:02:00
?Yo, ho, haul together, hoist the Colors high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die.? Let?s be clear from the start: piracy is a plague. The world would be better off without it, and I condemn it completely. However! There are, to my mind, interesting lessons that can be learned from piracy, lessons that could change, in the ...
The Euro vs. Dollar double gambetto for high tech corporations
2007-11-14 00:51:00
In chess, a gambetto - say it with an Italian accent, consists in sacrificing a piece at the beginning of a game to gain a competitive position on the exchequer - for example through the control of the center of the chessboard or one of the long diagonals. Getting back to business (we’ll get back to ...
End Game for Microsoft?
2007-10-29 15:43:00
Microsoft?s 1st fiscal quarter earnings were blow out. Its profit soared 23 percent to $4.29 billion, or 45 cents per share, from $3.48 billion, or 35 cents per share, during the same period last year, as brisk sales of the new ‘Halo 3′ video game, Windows and Office helped it breeze past Wall Street’s expectations. ...
