Should a Christmas present be practical, useful or personal? Friday, November 6, 2009 When well being and friendship become more important than material goods, then the way presents are selected changes, too. Here a list of Christmas gifts available online. The gift ideas range from the decorative, the practical to family friendly games. They all have in common, that they can be personalised with own images. Christmas, celebrating reunions Searching for and buying Christmas presents can be completely relaxed when done from home on the Internet. Questions like: "What would she like or what would be useful to him?" or "Does it have to be that expensive?" have become redundant in our affluent society, where people have already bought the things they want and what they have not bought yet they don't really want. For this Christmas here a list of individual gift ideas to preserve personal memories and to celebrate families and friendship. These are largely photo gifts, personalised with own images. Greeting cards don't have to come a of the shelf Greeting cards with their own interesting ... |

Product Personalisation through Mass Customisation Thursday, July 23, 2009 The expression Mass Customisation is oxymoron, joining the opposites "Mass Production" and "Customisation", which has lately become fashionable. Mass customisation aims at producing goods and services to individual customer specifications with efficiencies and costs similar to mass production. Some firms in the growing photo gifts market, for example http://FotoInsight.co.uk, apply this strategy, using new technologies and innovative structures to submit mass produced items like key rings and water bottles to an individualisation process, applying user photographs. To achieve costs and delivery times similar to those of mass produced standard items, the production architecture has to be structured in a way that the individualisation takes place at the rear end of the production chain. These firms acquire mass produced components produced benefiting from large economies of scale. As the individualisation can only be applied after an order has been placed, the process is called an "X-to-order" production. The gift ... |

Help to Stop the Automakers Bailout ! Thursday, November 20, 2008 When the government goes broke from bailing out private industry, who will be left to bail out the taxpayer? Bailing out the automobile industry would be bad use of public money. While banks are vulnerable to sudden collapses in confidence that can spread to other banks that are perfectly solvent, a good car maker does not face the same threat. On a combined basis, GM and Ford have posted total net losses of $30 billion through the first nine months of 2008. Washington is planning to bail out Detroit with $50 billion. If the generous Chapter 11 is not good enough, politicians would do the tax payer a great favour letting car firms fail. The truth of the matter is that no marketplace is static, the adaptive and innovative companies ought to prevail and be rewarded for their efforts, we should not concern ourselves with foolish and antiquated corporations that long for the good old days. The only way free market works is if the entrepreneurs have to take on their own risks. The last thing we need is to ... |

Cambridge ...? Friday, September 28, 2007 Somehow I was added to the Cambridge Hub, which in principle could be quite interesting. It may have escaped our Francophone organisers that Cambridge UK and Cambridge MA, USA are two different places, divided by a common language and a very large lake ;-) Living in the original Cambridge in the UK, I am as un-interested in events in Cambridge MA as Parisiens living on the banks of the river Seine are un-interested in events in Paris, Tx. Video might want to set up two groups: little Cambridge (original) and big-fat Cambridge (imitation). Regards Klaas Brumann PS Those hub members in the New World reading this shall not be offended. Take it as "humo(u)r". |
