Dear Vibazoners, October has been the month of debates, speeches and promises in the biggest economy in the world. The impending elections in the U.S are being closely watched globally - the elections process and the results have huge economic implications - not just because this is going to be costliest elections in the history of U.S - but also because of the inherent policy directions to be taken by the future government and its implications to the global economy. The hurricane Sandy has not helped the process - it has created enough damage to have reportedly negatively affected the U.S. economy - it is to be seen how this effects the elections and how soon is the economy going to be back on track. Microsoft has finally launched its Windows 8 OS and reportedly sold 4 million copies of Windows 8 in 3 days. That is a warm welcome to a much awaited OS, but it remains to be seen if the new Windows OS gains popularity (and market share) in the smartphone segment - where the innovation, users and money is moving to ! October has been a month of rebound for the Asian continent. South Korean exports have risen for the first time in four months and China's manufacturing expanded for the first time in three months as output and new orders climbed. These are some of the signs of the rebounding Asian economies. On the other hand in Europe there is a downward trend - Germany's manufacturing sector weakened further in October; Greece forecasts an even deeper recession and bigger debtload in 2013 and Eurozone unemployment hit a new record of 11.6 per cent.

When to Invent and When to Innovate?by Richard Chia This is really a million dollar question that causes sleepless nights for many a brilliant scientist, researchers and entrepreneurs. The answer is not easy as sometimes the line is blurred when we attempt to define where invention starts and where innovation begins. When to use what marketing research tools (Part 1 of 2)by Richard Chia Many entrepreneurs and even management professionals simply dismiss the use of marketing research as an expense, rather than as an investment. For most people marketing research is nothing more than conducting surveys by asking people a set of predefined questions, compile the answers and then tabulate into quantitative reports for presentation to management. |
