CHINESE VROUWEN HOUDEN VAN LOREAL EN APPLE

29/10/2012 Vrouwen in India en China gaan de komende jaren steeds meer verdienen, zo’n 5 biljoen dollar in 2020. Merken zullen serieus rekening moeten houden met hun wensen. Aldus de Boston Consulting Group. Volgens een onderzoek van dit bedrijf verdienen Chinese vrouwen 4 biljoen dollar in 2020. In 2010 was dat 1,3 biljoen dollar. In 2005 lag dat bedrag op 680 miljoen en in 2000 op 350 miljoen dollar. In India werken in 2020 158 miljoen vrouwen, die dan 900 miljard dollar verdienen. In 2010 werkten 134 miljoen vrouwen voor een inkomen van in totaal 280 miljard dollar. Met name middel en senior management profiteert van de komst van jonge vrouwelijke professionals. De trend is goed nieuws voor de fabrikanten van luxe goederen, aldus de Boston Consultancy Group. Volgens Boston Consulting Group voelt 88 procent van de Chinese vrouwen zich zeker over hun financiën. In de VS ligt dat percentage op 62 procent. 87 procent van de Chinese vrouwen is niet bang voor baanverlies, tegenover 44 procent in de VS. De Boston Consultancy Group vroeg een groep Chinese vrouwen naar hun favoriete merken: L’Oréal en Lancôme werden vaak genoemd in het beauty-segment, Apple en Samsung wat betreft technologie, en Johnson & Johnson in FMCG. De enige ‘thuismerken’ die werden genoemd waren witgoed- en elektronicagigant Haier, en sportkledingmerk Li-Ning. India In India geniet overigens nog maar een kleine groep vrouwen van de economische vooruitgang. De meeste vrouwen in India hebben nog steeds te maken met discriminatie, slechte toegang tot

opleidingen en lage salarissen. Toch winkelen Indiase vrouwen vaker dan vrouwen in de rest van de wereld: vooral voedsel en huishoudelijke artikelen worden gekocht. De favoriete merken van Indiase vrouwen zijn Nokia, Sony en Levi’s.

COCA-COLA WAARDEVOLSTE MERK TER WERELD

02/10/2012 Facebook komt dit jaar nieuw binnen in de Interbrand’s Best Global Brands ranglijst. De social media gigant komt binnen op plaats 69. Coca-Cola blijft ’s werelds meest waardevolle merk. De top 5 wordt verder gedomineerd door technologiemerken. Met een tweede plek treedt Apple dit jaar voor het eerst toe tot de top drie door spectaculaire prestaties in zowel gevestigde als opkomende markten. Op nummer drie staat IBM. Google (4) zag zijn merkwaarde afgelopen jaar met maar liefst 26 procent stijgen, waarmee het bedrijf voor het eerst Microsoft (5) voorbijstreeft op de Interbrand ranglijst. Hoe is het gesteld met de Nederlandse merken? Philips toont een groei van 5 procent in merkwaarde en behoudt met ruim 9 miljard dollar aan merkwaarde zijn 41ste positie in de ranglijst.

Zowel Shell (+7 procent) als Heineken (+3 procent) dalen een plaats naar respectievelijk de 75ste en 92ste plaats. Ondanks de zwakke wereldwijde economische situatie slaagden deze Nederlandse merken er ook dit jaar overtuigend in hun wereldwijde marktpositie te behouden of te versterken. Zij weten hun doelgroepen over alle regio’s en communicatieplatformen heen, steeds meer persoonlijke en verrijkende merkervaringen te bieden, aldus Interbrand. ‘Met toenemende mondiale concurrentie en de steeds kortere houdbaarheid van traditionele concurrentievoordelen (zoals technologie), neemt de bijdrage van het merk aan de aandeelhouderswaarde alleen maar toe’, stelt Patrick Stal, managing director van Interbrand Amsterdam. ‘In een tijd van ongekende transparantie gaat branding meer dan ooit over de mensen achter de merken. ’s Werelds meest waardevolle merken tonen aan dat zij sterker uit de crisis komen door alle activiteiten van hun eigen medewerkers vanuit het merk te sturen. Het einddoel hiervan is het creëren van een eenduidige, holistische merkervaring die aan de steeds veranderende vragen van hun doelgroepen voldoet.’ Groei van data benutten In de dynamiek van een wereld waarin online en offline merkervaringen voortdurend door elkaar heen lopen, weten succesvolle merken de onstuitbare groei van data en informatie te benutten voor de ontwikkeling van relevante merkproposities. Ze zijn bereid tijd en geld te investeren om inzicht te krijgen in de rol die hun merk speelt in het leven van de consument, en ze slagen erin hun merkpropositie strategisch te integreren in alle interacties. Nieuwkomers dit jaar zijn Facebook, Pampers, Prada, Kia, Ralph Lauren, MasterCard. Met de beursgang van Facebook in mei kon Interbrand eindelijk onderzoek doen naar de financiële situatie van de social media gigant. Ondanks de tegenvallende koersontwikkeling en aanhoudende onzekerheid over het verdienmodel, zorgde de forse groei van de naamsbekendheid, vooral in nieuwe markten, ervoor dat Facebook zich in de top-100 wist te nestelen. De grootste stijgers dit jaar zijn Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Nissan en Oracle. Ook ten overstaan van toenemende concurrentie van rivalen als Google (4) en Samsung (9) steeg de merkwaarde van Apple het afgelopen jaar met een indrukwekkende 40 procent. Apple blijft zich onvermoeibaar inspannen voor de bescherming van zijn merknaam en intellectuele eigendom. Die inspanningen leidden ertoe dat het bedrijf in juli een kwartaalomzet kon melden van 35 miljard dollar en een netto kwartaalwinst van 8,8 miljard. Herstel automerken Automotive merken ondernemen eindelijk zichtbaar actie om uit hun dal te klimmen en hun werknemers de weg te wijzen naar een vernieuwde relatie met hun doelgroepen. Veel automakers in de top-100 hebben hun merkpropositie in het laatste jaar aangescherpt (‘The best or Nothing’ voor Mercedes Benz (11), ‘Go Further’ voor Ford (45)). BMW (12) en Hyundai (53) investeerden meer in wereldwijde merkcampagnes om het totale merkprofiel te versterken. Audi (55) ontwikkelde met zijn

Audi City winkel in Londen een nieuwe verkoopervaring die digitale en fysieke ervaringen combineert. Met de verdere uitrol van het MyTouch communicatiesysteem zet Ford nieuwe stappen naar een rijkere rijervaring. Volgens Stal is het duidelijk dat merkeigenaren in automotive de nodige operationele veranderingen achter zich hebben gelaten en weer volop in hun merken investeren op zoek naar relevantie en onderscheidenheid in een bijzonder competitieve sector. Financiële merken blijven dalen Financiële merken blijven de negatieve gevolgen van de wereldwijde economische crisis van 2008 ondervinden. Barclays is dit jaar van de lijst gevallen. Goldman Sachs is met een krimp in merkwaarde van 16 procent een van de grootste dalers op de lijst van 2012. Er is echter ook reden voor optimisme over de toekomst van de sector, met name onder de niet-banking gerelateerde financiële merken. Merken als American Express (24), AXA (58), Allianz (62) en Visa (74) wisten hun merkwaarde te laten groeien. MasterCard (94) debuteert op de lijst, een teken dat de wereldwijde relevantie van de ‘Onbetaalbaar’-campagne blijft bijdragen aan een sterkere relatie tussen het merk en de groeiende wereldwijde clientèle. Het complete Interbrand 2012 Best Global Brands rapport is beschikbaar op interbrand.nl en bestglobalbrands.com.

Ohs in the Airline Industry

...Introduction OHS plays an important part in maintaining a healthy and positive workplace. Lack of effective OHS policies can lead to a wide range of harmful effects on the productivity of an organization. Accidents in the workplace can cause substantial losses to an organization’s human capital, create massive losses in labour productivity and decreases the organisations reputation in the market (Saridakis & Cooper, 2013). Studies have revealed that Human Resource Management plays an important part in an organizations ability to maintain adequate OHS (Saridakis & Cooper, 2013). The HR department’s duty is to align HR practices with organisations OHS goals; this could be in the form of recruitment or training policies (Faulkiner, 2009). HR plays an important part in the Airline industry, as there are no production lines, human capital is an organisations greatest asset and a company’s performance relies heavily on how cohesively their employees can work together (Boyd, 2003).

Personal Property Case Study

...Personal Property Case Study The case study “Parking Lot’s Liability” is an actual court case, Allright, Inc. v. Strauder. Plaintiff brought suit alleging that as a result of defendant's negligence, his automobile was stolen from a parking lot operated by defendant. Signs were located throughout the parking lot which stated that the lot closed at 6 o'clock p.m. and that anyone returning after that time could pick up their keys at another parking lot operated by the defendant at a another location. He was aware of the time when he left the car at the station and that the signs and the claim ticket said the lot closed at 6 o'clock. So indeed a bailment was created. The definition of bailment is a transaction in which an owner transfers his or her personal property (in this case his car) to another to be held, stored, delivered, or for some other purpose. Title to the property does not transfer. (Cheeseman, 2010) The plaintiff gave his keys to the defendant’s employee expecting the defendant’s company to park and store the car until the plaintiff returned for it, at which time the plaintiff would pay for the services obtained. This is considered a mutual benefit bailment. A bailment for the mutual benefit of the parties is created when there is an exchange of performances between the parties. A bailment for the repair of an item is a bailment for mutual benefit when the bailee receives a fee in exchange for his or her work. (legal-dictionary.com, 2013) Three elements...

Huck Finn Reflection

...Jim was almost discovered by other white folk who could’ve recaptured him and sold him to new people, Huck protected him by making up a story that his dadwas really sick. Later,Huck was struggling with his views on whether he should tell Miss Watson about Jimbeing found by some people and capturedor not.

Her Story

Haering the wind, and the waves of the water crashing to the rocks. Her name is Trissia. "Why? Why did You take everything from me? Did I do something wrong? I trusted You but You betrayed me? What did I ever disgrace You for?" She smiled bitterly and look up at the dark sky. "I remember 8 years ago when You took my everything. We were 6 in the family, my parents, twin younger sister at age 7, my youngest brother at age 5 and me, the eldest at 10. My parents were wealthy, we live in a two-storey house with a lot of flowers outside, we've always have a close bond. One day mom and dad went to a business conference, so I volunteered myself to look out for my siblings, I love taking care of them, my parents trusted me so I performed my duty well, not until in the late afternoon. Three men in black with matching masks came through the door by smashing it. I was shocked, I felt fear, my sisters and brother were taking a nap that time, I didn't know what to do that I couldn't move, they started to look something, they turned the house upside down, I knew then that they were up to no good at all. I prayed silently, I know He wouldn't let something happen to us. Yes of course, He wouldn't let something bad happen to us.

How Far Did the Position of Black Americans Improve in the Years 1945-1955?

...Progression of black rights during 1945-1955 can be clearly seen but was a long and slow process, although the awareness of racial equality dramatically increased. Various factors were involved. Factors such as: presidential involvement and the use of media post WW2.We also see improvements in education and NAACP. More importantly how the NAACP and southern states responded to these factors, later shaping the result to black civil rights. During this time America saw two presidents come to power: Harry S. Truman (1945-1953) and Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1961). Both of which affected the civil rights movements in different ways. Truman who was vice president to Roosevelt was elected officially in 1948, Born in Missouri in the late 19th century he had been brought up in an area that saw racism towards coloured people as a natural occurrence, and this was also the case for Truman. Truman had first encountered blacks as family servants with his ancestors previously owning slaves. Truman had told his sweet heart Bess that: “One man is as good as another, “So long as he is honest, decent and not a Nigger or a Chinaman”. (Sanders, 2003, p60) So he is an unlikely candidate to eventually be bringing the lack of rights of the blacks to light and standing behind the civil rights movement later in his career. With the number of racial murders on the rise in the south, Truman set up and implemented a civil rights committee to produce a report “Secure These Rights” brought attention to the...

New York State Capitol Building Descriptive Essay

...crowds, escaping the infected city. I could feel the cold winter wind blowing against my face as I checked my watch that said that I was moving at 50 MPH it was unbelievable that now kids can go as fast as only cars could go. It has been simply an hour since I have left the city and I made it to the point that it was only the small towns to remain in the surroundings and the watch was saying that it is 20 degrees outside and it didn’t mix with the exposure and wind. But, in just over 2 hours before I could know it I had made to Albany. I shot my mom a call. “Ring, ring, ring.” “Hi Warner” She said in a stressed voice. “Hi mom, where in Albany should I meet you I’m there.” I questioned her cheerfully in order to assure her that everything is allright. “Let’s meet in front of the Capitol Building.” She said with rejoice in her voice. “Okay, love you see you there.” I sputtered. It took just a 2 minute drive from the city limits to get to the capitol building. The New York State Capitol Building is interesting because it doesn’t have a golden dome like that of most capitol buildings, but instead is a big castle reminding me of the Chateau Frontniac in Quebec City, Canada. It wasn’t all that smart of a decision to meet there because when I got to the street that the Capitol is on I could see the huge crowds mobbing the surrounding blocks. Also, the extremely large screens that were installed on the outside of the buildings quite recently were showing the News and it was saying that New...

Failure

...The ABC’s of Failure – Getting Rid of the Noise in Your System For the past 40 years, I have observed many companies, including DuPont (where I spent 27 years) pursuing planned maintenance with the standard tools of planned maintenance: inspections, planning, scheduling, materials procurement, CMMS systems, etc. with the same results. They succeed for a while and get their percent planned and scheduled maintenance up to the 80+ only to see that drop back later to 60 I am amazed how many of the companies we work with have had this experience. This pattern of behavior has led us to conclude that the reason for this experience is that only 60% of the normal work of maintenance is inherently plannable. The rest of the work is created by random acts of what we are now calling care-lessness. The sites where we see people break this pattern and achieve 92% to 96% planned maintenance for the long term without regressing, are the ones who eliminate the inherently unplannable work. Of course, this cannot be done by maintenance alone. Everyone who does work at a site contributes to the defects that create the unplannable work, and therefore everyone must participate in eliminating the defects that create the 40% of the work that is unplannable. In the diagram below we attempt to more clearly articulate the true significance of Defect Elimination by outlining the ABC’s of failure. Fundamentally, failures happen because things that exist are not perfect. To reduce failures we must eliminate...

...PART A – Plan the project Most athletes know that getting enough rest after exercise is essential to high-level performance, but many still over train and feel guilty when they take a day off. The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts, and continuous training can actually weaken the strongest athletes. Rest days are critical to sports performance for a variety of reasons. Some are physiological and some are psychological. Rest is physically necessary so that the muscles can repair, rebuild and strengthen. For recreational athletes, building in rest days can help maintain a better balance between home, work and fitness goals. The main objective of my project of this term is to build up a recovery program for athletes. That is what I am gonna try to study into the basics. Sport is not only about performance, there is a lot of other factors that influence the performance, from the psychological aspect to the physiological condition. The recovery phase and rest is one of the main subject that help to improve athlete s performance. Human is not a machine, we all need rest to restart our body again to reach the performance we want. Rest is not only behind higher performance, recovery periods prevent injuries that are caused by overtraining or a trauma. My project is about recovery program for a specific athlete, and how it can influence his performance. I try to build up a recovery program for him, that is suitable for his possibilities and capacities...
