X-rays can be thin, but in larger quantities it is difficult to store and find inconvenient when you need it. Storage costs can be high and this is one of the reasons for such organizations evaluate x-ray scanning a real possibility.

Managing the Uncertainty


One of the hottest topics in business management today is open to innovation. The concept of using an open business model of "co-innovate" with their partners, suppliers and customers - in order to speed up the award for innovation. For example, small or medium sized company develops a game-changing ideas and works with major companies to market the product.

Through the cooperation relationship of open innovation (OI), companies are able to leverage new ideas and products, and conduct experiments on the lower level of risk. However, the Olympics would not be a concern, such as who owns the rights to intellectual property (IP). Olympics should be conducted in a manner that promotes mutual trust and respect. It can be a double-edged sword, when the larger company insists on owning the IP in exchange for their investment. OI relationship can be a tricky one to navigate.

Large corporations such as Nestle, Kraft, Motorola, General Mills and Clorox are all involved in open innovation practices. Here is a case study of open innovation processes in Proctor & Gamble, one of the most respected consumer products companies in the world. P & G introduced its Connect + Develop program on their website at pgconnectdevelop.com. The site is a place where the public can submit their innovations, read about successful business partnerships, and even throw out the current IP needs of the company.

"Historically, P & G relied on internal capabilities ... We did not actively seek to connect with potential partners. Times have changed, and the world is more connected. In areas in which we operate, there are millions of scientists, engineers and other companies to globally. Why not collaborate with them? We now accept open innovation ... ", according to a P & G website.In more than two years, the program has received 7500 submissions. P & G has established more than 1,000 active contracts with innovative partners, and claims that more than 50 percent of its product initiatives included collaboration with outside innovators.

In the Connect + Develop program, innovators must have an IP on the site before you submit your idea. It protects the innovator of IP while adding value to the organization - the key is to build relationships and create a win-win deals. Working together to develop effective ways to manage IP rights, the Olympics can further enhance the innovative culture and produce good results for all parties involved.

Here are some tips for fostering open innovation in your business.

It takes the power, courage, and tenacity to create a balanced relationship between open innovation. In a balanced relationship, IP or technology inventors or small companies should remain theirs.
Develop both reactive and proactive ways to address open innovation. On the reactive side, we invite the world's best innovators are looking for open opportunities for the development of IP innovation needs.
Proactive, you tap into local universities, companies and venture capital firms to meet the inventors, set nets, and the connections that are not visible to most people.

Business Creation Online


According Dictionary.reference.com, one definition of "art" is:

"The quality, production, expression or area, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or more than ordinary significance."

Creating an online presence that is more than "ordinary" interest is a real challenge. Connected to each step along the way was tempted to abandon their plans in favor of the plan allegedly for "you", already in place. All of us receive e-mails every day, promising the opportunity to gain a huge and instant profits with very little effort.

Why is this brand of e-mail marketing activities so persistent? Because, when it is pushed out on a huge scale, it actually works. Chances are that works very well for the owner of the program, a company that receives web traffic as a result, not so much for newbie affiliates.

Now, in all fairness, and the program owners have an awful lot invested in their business, they need to attack again, then profit from their efforts. I must admit that we had my curiosity. I thought, and even joined some of these networks. I was impressed with his abilities of persuasion and their knowledge of creative marketing in general. Also, it is common to find that most of these programs do not provide useful support to customer service.

I believe there are more important things to consider before you decide to dive into these deals. If you have made your only job is to look for Random "able" to produce all of their income, then what exactly do for a living? Even if you become a "super affiliate" in one of these programs, what exactly is your job? What happened to their unique ideas and their plans?

When you're just an affiliate program that are not owned by yourself, do not participate in the changes that will take place, because it's not your job.

You are not really part of the job at all, as you would any such employee. Check the conditions of your affiliate agreement and you will see what I mean.

My mother tell me, when I was a child and confused something I thought would be great, "just take what you need from it .... and leave the rest." In this case, the whole affiliate scene out there could be a very good thing when you are in exactly the right way for your business. Otherwise, you could easily fall into the trap of buying each other in anticipation of final success.

The uniqueness will become critical as the Internet continues to evolve. The future of online marketing will depend, more and more, the original content. The same re-hashed, plans, articles, newsletters, promises, etc, can only cycle around so many times before it is completely filtered. Just after the plan of "duplication", as evidence of success, does not allow for uniqueness.

So how do we use it, but not be trapped, "ordinary" and create your own unique presence?

You are a unique person, even if they do not effectively express that. Do you have specific interests, skills and motivation of some sort, right? The subjects that interest you to find your starting point. Then, if you have not already done so, take the basic steps are:

- Plan your work and work your plan. This means that your plan, not even the double-through endless networks for years. Business planning formats can be found in any chamber of commerce, or, if you thought the big, there are many business planning software packages available online.

- Start the budget carefully. Sorry, but can not achieve much for free. It should be based on your plan. Do not let other people tell you that the plans will take care of everything for you, they will take care of themselves, not you.

- Get affiliate network, but not to sell your soul for them. Research the subject you are most interested in looking for an affiliate network that you can join. Check these groups are included in the same business as yours, only those who are directly linked to yours. Do not be distracted by too many options.

- Set your web page, select your own unique content and those affiliate links. For many years, I tried to make money online without a website, I found that simply is not realistic. Start small and build on it little by little, to test the market and reduce risk.

- Be proud of it! When people ask: "What have you been up to lately?" Tell them exactly what it is, give them a business card with your website URL on it, not because they mean to sell them something, but because you're proud of it .... This is your new career!

The next challenges are, dodging all the distractions, competing for customers with the most cost-effective promotion, making your site unique and wonderful place for people to visit. This sounds to me like the same challenges faced by the old school, traditional "offline" company.

As the old saying goes: "Business is business," regardless of where or how it is approached. It is simply part of human nature. Chances are your plans will work if it will work. Instead of focusing on the effort, the dreaded work load, just think of the pride of achievement you'll get. (And profit, of course!) This is the true beauty of their own, unique online presence.

Business Development


Imagine that you have already done their job and now is your main goal is to develop and expand. Business development and the development of any procedure in the universe can have two directions: Progress or regress. I believe that any sensible entrepreneur wants to develop its business in the way of progress, that it expanded, consolidated and made more income. Well, business development in this direction is a difficult task as its creation. However, if you believe in yourself and follow certain principles can be achieved by the fact that your job will be developing in the way of progress.

First of all, you must remember that the type of work marathon. If you want your business to develop quickly and effectively, you must be willing to take the lead over its competitors which have the same sphere of business. Here, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the job may not be stable (ie it can not stand). It can develop or die. If your job is stopped, the competitors will overtake you immediately. Therefore, developing your business, you must strive that your product is better, your products or services are unique to some extend and the prices are affordable to your potential customers. As various changes in the market place often, the development of your business you need to be informed about all these processes and to react as quickly as possible. In that case, develop your company can turn out to be successful in the short term can bring financial well-being

So, business development, consists of two main components: 1 Goods and services production and 2 Their realization. Developing your business, you must think of the "Harmony" between these two components. One of the mistakes beginners make is that they pay much attention to the manufacture and discard its realization. Such activities can lead to failure!

Furthermore, the development of your business, you can focus not only on their own abilities and preferences, but on the needs of its clients. It is also fair if their needs go beyond the previously intended for goods and services. To develop your business in the most efficient way, you should be willing to change it in such a way that can meet the current demands of its customers. No doubt this will lead to additional costs, however, as a result, this approach will turn out to be much more effective than trying to sell your customers a puppy.

The following is a known error that beginners often tend to fill all the work yourself.

Team Building


One day while I attended the leadership conference and was happily sitting next to the MD of the largest steel maker. During the discussion and sharing a little about our background and current issues, both of us felt a connection that we have the conviction to discuss these matters on our business.

However, something bothers me during our conversation. I could not let his criticism of what I love to do, which is running a business team building. But now, team building is used as one of its intervention tools of empowerment, in the workplace to overcome problems and drive business results!

In this article we will see how team building can be beneficial for the organization and the message is addressed here would be useful for individuals with less, wrong or misleading information on this type of experiential learning approaches.

Experiential learning program as a team building is used as the most efficient way many organizations continue to "behavior change" and deliver the right end results in the workplace. Proper design and delivery of such a program has a major impact on individual behavior, in comparison with other approaches. "

However, the HR generalist and HR practitioners did not always have the opposite attitude about it. Up to 60% of managers have a narrow understanding of the possible consequences that can be achieved from this program. As such, they only see this program as an aberration or "escaped" from stress at work agenda.

The power of experiential learning through a properly designed program is outside the team bonding and motivation!

The HR person or the management team, it's always a big struggle for them to create a sense of belonging among its people because of the lack of inter-organization relationships and cross cultural issues. However, such a question is a common problem in team building and it can be easily solved.

We will try to look at different types of team building available for the organization:

First Retreat Programme - The focus on entertainment value
Rating 1-10: Fun: 10 - Teaching: 0 - Behavior Modification: 0 - Workplace Page: 1

5th Performance-driven program

Rating 1-10: Fun: 8 - Learning: 8 - Behavior Modification: 10 - Workplace Results: 8-10

* The rating is given based on the proper design and delivery of the program (s). Also based on our analysis of the actual team building projects.

The most appropriate type that matches the organization will depend on the current number of people, usually a bottleneck occurs in the workplace and the performance gap faced by management.

The secrets behind successful programs need to address these 7 questions:

(1) develop a program,
(2) methodological and structured approach,
(3) coach
(4) to take back the challenges of having a team building,
(5) measuring the change in behavior: pre-test and post-test on the relevant components of behavior,
(6) awards for achievers and
(7) the overall ROI of the money spent.

In most cases, the operation results of the projects that contain project return, it should come with a 30 to 90 days after team building challenges, such as:
Retail Sales Challenge
The productivity challenge through motivation
Department to improve the Challenge
The project team challenge
Other Custom Projects

Take back the challenge is not an additional burden? Empowering received during the team building to encourage and challenge participants to show progress in the workplace. With the details described in this article, we hope that your next program will generate your desired results.

Intelligence and PR Services


Research also can actively shape their environment. To do so, pending the mechanisms of influence on the mass consciousness and the mechanisms of influence on the mind of the individual. And that starts directly from the intersection of competitive intelligence service function of PR. After all, public relations as a function of the company - it is also a way to change the reality and impact on people in the interests of business. It appears that competitive intelligence service PR and tagging on the same page and two together? Obviously not.

PR Services and CI companies do not compete but complement each other. About the same as a complementary surface ships and submarines in the fleet. PR services to the public, it is evident, can work with the public. PR office can communicate with the press and the authorities directly. In this publicity is its power, but also its weakness.

CI operates largely in secret, her communications with journalists, government officials, customers, companies, contractors, or competitors is usually through other people, or under (the law allows it, and ethics within a society).

Thus, competitive intelligence closer to all other structures of society committed to the so-called active measures "- based on the strategic actions and tactical deception, bluffing, manipulating public opinion, whose main task - in a controlled change in the attitude of the Working Group for the company.

Competitive intelligence at the expense of their skills, personal contacts and working methods could significantly increase the surface "part" of the company to change the information space, in the course of PR services.

There is another issue that I want to attract attention. This footage. Should it lead to the implementation of competitive intelligence staff functions in a PR company or need to hire them on the side?

Education experts active service PR methods of competitive intelligence takes two to five days, after which he was quite able to solve many common problems faced by companies in the context of public relations. However, in two to five days, it is impossible to prepare a universal expert. Therefore, in complex cases will still require the involvement of experts in outsourcing. True PR officer is trained in competitive intelligence, do not waste time on fruitless attempts to solve their own problems that "it is not too difficult." He is usually able to quickly understand what the issue was outside its capabilities.Just as important, he knows what an expert is needed to solve his problem.

As a rule, involve external experts is needed, when needed knowledge, relatively rare among people in business: for example, operational expertise and analytical experience in competitive non-market methods or experiences against criminal groups. Sometimes, as PR professionals is among the many people with education in the humanities, May you need counseling or direct involvement of technical experts.

Due to these sensitive questions, not only to attract outsourcing skills man, but his personal qualities - such as honesty, ability to secrecy, integrity, key "city staff" to select these people are professional associations of competitive intelligence professionals.

PR services and competitive intelligence companies do not compete but complement each other. About the same as a complementary surface ships and submarines in the fleet. PR services to the public, it is evident, can work with the public. PR office can communicate with the press and the authorities directly. In this publicity is its power, but also its weakness.

As practice shows, PR services companies quickly see the theory and practice of competitive intelligence and begin to independently use techniques honed competitive intelligence.

Opportunities for Interactivity


It was not so long ago when the sign consisted of a digital TV and VHS decks and DVD players. In what looks like a flash, tube televisions are passe and VHS players are beginning to look something like antiques.

Driven largely by the overwhelming popularity of HDTV in the U.S. (recent research from Leichtman Research Group finds the high-def sets are now in two-thirds of American homes), flat panel displays are the result of achieving. Along the way, they changed the look and appeal of digital signage.

As impressive as that change was, digital signs appear on the track to see equally dramatic changes in the next few years, re-launches consumer television sets. At the recently concluded 2012 International CES in Las Vegas, several TV vendors threw their vision of what "smart" TV should look like.

Among them were Samsung, LG, Sony and Lenovo, each with their own versions of smart TVs. Google has already taken a turn in the market, and Apple has long been rumored to be working on your TV with a smart consumer interface similar to Siri and his personal assistant for iPhone 4S that would let owners control their TV with their voice. Samsung is also reportedly at work on adding voice and motion control to new television.

The interactive digital signage industry, and new smart televisions will open doors to greater opportunities for digital sign based on the interactivity still reshaping consumer expectations. How long will it be before we see digital signs that allow guests not only look for a list of available restaurants in the digital sign in the lobby, but also made simply saying to the screen?

In addition to voice interaction with smart TV, which would other benefits, this new generation of television to bring interactivity to digital signage? Perhaps, this TV will lead to easier synchronization with a personal smart phones and tablets provided by Public Interactive to bring out the character. Or, it might be possible to move digital signage experience outside the home in the living room, a sort of offshoot of the TV Everywhere concept is promoted these days is to pay TV operators such as cable TV companies.

To be sure, my crystal ball is no clearer than anyone else. However, it seems obvious that this is a new generation of television technology will open new and exciting opportunities for those who communicate through interactive mobile devices. I'm not suggesting these employment opportunities greater degree of interactivity will be available at short notice. But when they come, which means to communicate with the digital sign will undergo a dramatic transformation.

Where we are today and where we might be headed in the not too distant future with this new technology can be as stark as the difference of the difference between Tom Hanks feverishly connecting the microcomputer numbers early in his role as astronaut James Lovell in "Apollo 13" and Leonard Nimoy Spock as saying from his science station aboard the USS Enterprise, "the computer, calculating the last digit of the value of pi" and the computer replies: "You're kidding, right"
