The forces behind branding

  • Mass Produce, Divide, and Rule: The Truly Amazing Economics of Production, Consumption, Pricing, Advertising and Branding (or: What BMW knows that Ford Doesn't).

  • Creating a Fashion brand

Does Size Matter?

  • Japanese vs. Americans (or the Big ConspiracyTM): After becoming lighter and smaller, the laptops changed direction and compete for size. The American user demands (and gets!) larger and thicker laptops (14.1", 15.4", and the new hit: 17"!); Is it the new trend, or the biggest (vendor's) conspiracy since the murder of JFK? And what will the next battlefield be? Price?! ("buy from me, mine costs twice!")  -  (on behalf of the Japanese: Eli Marmor, <add your name>, on behalf of the Americans: <add your name>, observers/abstainers/European/wish to participate: <add your name>)
