Just to recap on the first post. We listed four different types of companies that bring about their own demise: (1) Start-ups, technology companies (2) The master builder (3) Inventors (4) The Salesman

Let’s start with IBM the technology company.

IBM made the highest quality computers in the world. They had a team of geniuses made up of design engineers craving for quality, durability and reliable products. The company was known for reliability and durability. IBM was making lots of money and profits were pouring in.

But soon, a culture based on engineering, turned into a technocratic company. Engineers were celebrated and became the masters of the company. Other departments such as sales, marketing, and finance were overlooked or given less priority. Managers took less notice of the marketplace. Performance indicators were thrown out of the window and design standards were all what managers understood. Research for perfection, and better products was all that counted. However, this was very time-consuming and the needs of customers for more economical, more user-friendly computers were ignored.

The gap between Generation Y and Boomers is widening as Gen Y comes of age. Much has been written about what Gen Y really wants, including their ideals in the workplace. Likewise, Gen Y is providing leadership and demanding change in the luxury industry. While their parents have become accustomed to outstanding service and impeccable quality, Generation Y is socially minded and impact-oriented. Yes, all luxury should have a certain base level of quality. The question is, how important is social impact in driving purchasing decisions, even in luxury?

Sparxoo’s dynamic duo, Creo the Creative and Ana the Analyst, share their perspective. Creo believes the social mission will be king as a new generation of wealth emerges while Ana argues that purveyors of luxury should continue to focus on quality. We are in a transitional age where the balance between the gold standard of quality is countered by the demand of a younger generation to participate in meaningful community building.

As an ex-pact of South Africa, now residing in Australia, I have come to the conclusion that communication can cause a lot of confusion. I run a business from home and in the process market the business concept to others who may very well be interested in working from home as well. I also market a few additional products that I feel enhances the way people live their lives on an emotional and physical level.

It is during these business endeavors that I get to meet a lot of different people each and every day. And if you have not been in Australia recently, you may not know just how diverse the English language is spoken. Australia has seen a huge migration level over the last couple of years. And each migrant brings with him or her, his own native language as well as the English word spoken with an accent. It all seems innocent enough. If all of us are speaking English then there should not be any communication problems. That however is far from the reality of the situation. Continue reading ‘COMMUNICATION WITH CONFUSION’ »
