I think the issue with the field has been that it has remained a curiosity rather than core skill - interesting but difficult to apply in a structured, process driven way. The root cause? No business-ready, galvanising framework to tie the principles to real issues (so that's what I've developed). In relation to your egs, trust can and should itself be "nudged" through such behavioural principles (social proof for eg), and any App requires a behavioural architecture that BE can inform. So cracks? No but the risk is BE misses its time to shine as a key source of smarter business.Bri Williamshttp://www.peoplepatterns.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12519695.post-176330736740448452013-01-09T08:13:45.909-08:002013-01-09T08:13:45.909-08:00Great piece Jon, best of luck to you and the team ...Great piece Jon, best of luck to you and the team in 2013!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Matt BAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11333755960228985207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12519695.post-15900191105007768762012-09-17T03:16:05.158-07:002012-09-17T03:16:05.158-07:00Chris,

More often or not now the cinema release is just the warm up for the DVD sales. Take for example last years Australian success, Kenny. Within weeks of it's cinema release (one where word of mouth was strong, evidenced by stronger sales each week after release) it was on DVD. The perfect gift for Christmas. DVD's are a great stocking filler. Awareness is created by the cinema release, they are not too worried about small box office takings as DVD sales continue to grow.<BR/><BR/>An article in The Melbourne Age in 2004 talked about the value of DVD to cinemas.<BR/><BR/>http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/05/05/1083635197982.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12519695.post-90500225858237701732007-06-01T01:48:00.000-07:002007-06-01T01:48:00.000-07:00what is your email address?

This week the UK's Office of Fair Trading (OFT) announced that Credit Card penalties greater than £12 were considered unfair (e.g. late payment). Actually, it wasn't the OFT that had campaigned for the consumer, rather a consumer himself had taken his credit card company to court, but of course these regulatory bodies don't like to be seen to be slow off the mark!<BR/><BR/>The OFT also said that similar excessive charges by banks would also be deemed unfair. Banks typically charge £30 an occurence. Banks are said to make over £500m p.a. from charging over 7.5m consumers.<BR/><BR/>See<BR/>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4878798.stmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12519695.post-1144158505917832272006-04-04T06:48:00.000-07:002006-04-04T06:48:00.000-07:00Hi Jon,In the UK, Asda (owned by Wal Mart) announc...Hi Jon,<BR/><BR/>In the UK, Asda (owned by Wal Mart) announced yesterday the end of accepting cheques [US: checks] at the check-out. Official reason is that it slows customer service for others but I suspect it's also the handling cost.<BR/><BR/>I heard this on the BBC Radio News last night. In a vox pox interview with shop owners in Ealing, West London, many remarked how they few cheques were proferred. One said "two or three", to which the interviewer said "a day?". No said the shop keeper, "a month". The electrical chain Dixons told the BBC they had refused them for some months.<BR/><BR/>Personally, in 2005 I wrote just 17 personal cheques out of over 500 financial transactions, and 12 of those were for just 1 company.<BR/><BR/>I started my career in banking IT and it was facinating to watch for the first time how fast the cheque sorting machines worked - until there was an almighty jam! Each machine would be staffed by a small team of girls (never saw any chaps!) and they would be motivated to see which team could process the most each day. More like the industrial age than the technological age, but without the grime.<BR/><BR/>I think one of the banks should give one to the Science Museum complete with a few thousand used cheques.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12519695.post-1135045668781499392005-12-19T18:27:00.000-08:002005-12-19T18:27:00.000-08:00Reuben,Didn't I tell you there was no shortage of ...Reuben,<BR/><BR/>Didn't I tell you there was no shortage of pricing humour.<BR/><BR/><BR/>JonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255210934340742438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12519695.post-1134857234676919552005-12-17T14:07:00.000-08:002005-12-17T14:07:00.000-08:00Depending on the restaurant, "Eat Now, Pay Later" ...Depending on the restaurant, "Eat Now, Pay Later" could have several meanings. ;-)Reuben Swartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955013905601931011noreply@blogger.com
