Creativity and Innovation Management- Thought Leadership
Leadership is only sustainable when leaders consistently come up with good ideas – when they are dependable thought leaders. It follows then that leaders would be more effective if they knew how to manage creativity and innovation. Some of the...
Creativity and Innovation Management- why products fail.
There is no sure fire route to commercial success but the probability of success can be increased. This is important for at least two reasons: a)Resource Management. The Economist (2003) states that 3000 bright ideas result in 100 worthwhile...
Extended Enterprise In The Nesting And Cutting Business
In Italy there are a lot of small and medium enterprises (SME) that often act as subcontractors to bigger firms.
For example, most of the Italian shoes come from industrial districts, where the organization heavily relies on subcontracting. ...
Innovation Management – specialisation or generalisation?
One of the topics often debated is the benefit of specialisation over generalisation. To consistently generate a large number of good ideas, is it better to specialise within a field or to vary knowledge amongst a variety of fields?
...
Managing Creativity and Innovation is an oxymoron.
When ideas are required, leaders tend to herd people into a room with a flip chart and conduct (usually an ineffective) brainstorming session...

"Survivor...From Tv To The Internet"
"Survivor...From TV To The Internet"
By Christopher Wright,Guerrilla Marketer
Copyright New Innovations
Survivor...the show goes something along these lines. They take a group of people and place them in remote destinations. Then we wait and see who forms partnerships...and who double crosses who (whom?). What if someone dropped you off in the middle of the Internet (where would that be anyway?) and you had 30 days to make a profit, what would you do?
Well, that's exactly the situation one faces when they decide to pursue an Internet venture. This is where many become infected with the deadly virus...'get-richous-quickitis'. When infected, you become susceptible to the 'dark side' of Internet marketing. You begin practicing the dark arts...bulk email (spam), FFA link pages, and safe-lists (opt-in spam) just to name a few. Is there any cure for this disease? Yes!
The first thing people should (or eventually will) realize is that the Internet itself is not a business, just a business tool. Arguably the most powerful tool invented...but nevertheless just a tool. What this means is that the rules of business have not changed, just the way they're implemented.
Now, as for our 30 day challenge, I would consider forming a joint venture with an ezine editor. I would try to get the editor to endorse my product/service. Doing so enables you to side step one of the hardest obstacles
of Internet marketing...TRUST! I have come to believe that this is probably THE most important ingredient in your marketing cookbook. You may be able to write the most compelling ad copy and create the most functionally and beautifully designed site that could be done by humans (excluding get-rich-quick artists, of course...they ARE superhumans:)
Offline its said that direct mail promotions produce ,at most, a 1%-3% response. But with the power of the editor's endorsement and PROPER FOLLOW UP, a 7%-10% response can be achieved. Some marketers have received an even greater return. So, it's no wonder that FFA link pages and all the other gimmicks produce such feeble results. My personal opinion is that the only reason these gimmicks work (as little as they do) is because of the 'greater fool' theory. Because the Internet is still growing, new members join the 'netrepreneur' ranks. These are in turn infected and the cycle starts again. But the Internet is quickly maturing and 'greater fools' will become increasingly hard to find.
