Last October, I read an article written in The Observer, undoubtedly 'placed' by Gillette talking about shaving, innovation, ideation and more. Read the article here and see my archived blog posting here. This weekend, the Guardian ran an 'almost identical' article, on essentially the same topics,...
Nach etwa vier intensiven Wochen und der nochmaligen Entschärfung einer weiteren "Bombe" ((Hypo Real Estate)) nehme ich Abschied von der Berichterstattung vom Thema Banken/Finanzkrise, da es hier eigentlich um Internet/Technologie- und Energie-/Alternativeenergietitel und allgemeiner um...
British High Street entertainment chain, Zavvi is charging £24 ($46 / €33) extra for a game in-store than online. How crazy is that? That's over twice the price for the same game from the same retailer! My nephew's birthday is tomorrow and some games ordered elsewhere won't arrive in time. So we...
Zwei aktuelle Einträge aus dem WSJ-Marketblog, die ich so interessant fand, dass ich sie separat von den Wochenlinks posten wollte: http://blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat/2008/10/03/as-earnings-approach-watch-the-industrials/ und......
Ich mag es als langfristig orientierte Person nicht, einen einzelnen Tag hervorzuheben und daraus zu viele Schlüsse zu ziehen. Aber der heutige Rückgang war doch erstaunlich. Die Auguren werden wohl drei Gründe anführen warum die Aktienmärkte heute in den USA weiter stark sanken: 1. Hohe...
I snapped this pic whilst at Tesco Amersham this morning. As you can see, the threat of being usurped by Lidl, Netto, Aldi (Every Lidl Helps) has galvanised Tesco into action, proudly proclaiming itself as Britain's Biggest Discounter, at a stroke neutralising the threat posed by the upstarts. You...
3 v 50... 6 v 33. Guerilla v Gorilla, avoiding the Clunking Fist of "Wilkinette" as the Credit Crunch Bites. (original blog posting) After dropping my son at school this morning, I dropped into Sainsbury to see how we were looking on shelf, and to enjoy a morning caffeine hit courtesy Starbucks...

Just imagine for one moment the horror of having no customers visiting your business. Would you be satisfied that you have a successful venture? The answer is absolutely not! Customers are critical to the success of every business, so it makes complete sense that the better you make the customer...
Like many others who blog on behalf of their employers, I have felt pressure lately to resist the urge to diarise amusing pet incidents and instead write something informative about the economic situation. In fact, I have been avoiding writing anything at all until I learned something informative...
I know the House have made total idiots of themselves and taken leave of what little senses they had but you need to get things in perspective. I don't often do this but here is a link that will help. http://www.worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=169 There is so much to absorb here but for certain...
I remember when the word "crunch" was a word which I associated with tasty breakfast treats. It's biscuits. It's the soothing sound of a booted foot flattening virginal snow on a cold December morning. Now the word has a much more sinister meaning. It's tightening of our belts. It's spending less....
A different approach to debt management is seen in due2pay.co.uk. This company brings an innovative approach to bring suppliers together in order to tackle the issue of late payment debt in industry. It also gives the customer a right to reply. Credit ratings with traditional methods are accepted...
"Socialise the risk, not the rich". (Karl Marx must be laughing in his grave). The average US taxpayer stands to pay $2,300 dollars (possibly more) apiece to finance the $700Bn toxic asset backed 'Bad Bank of America'. Wall Street gets bailed out, the rich, continue to get richer, the poor pay. (It...
This week at work they handed out the menu choices for the Christmas meal - on the nineteenth of December. I am totally aware that these things have to be booked early, and when the time comes I will absolutely want to go - and I'll take Handsome too. But on a day when the sun has shone, and my...
Cowardice and incompetence are a toxic combination in any walk of life. They are traits particularly ill suited to the office of Prime Minister. This financial crisis is a direct result of New Labour grovelling to the City for the past decade. They didn't control the housing bubble, turning a blind...
I have been on the journey of a lifetime recently. It finally happened and I have finally got married. To hell with all the doom and gloom around at the moment. I know it matters and I will no doubt bore you all stupid with my musing on the fall from grace of many merchant bankers soon. But for now...
Things just seem to be getting a little tough for Businesses at the moment. Major Banks are reporting a growing number of British firms have fallen behind with their repayments. This has led to larger companies getting more aggressive and 1) forcing extended credit terms on suppliers 2) demanding...
