Las "tecnológicas" lideran la lista mundial de marcas más valiosas


La consultora Millward Brown ha presentado esta mañana una nueva edición del ranking BrandZ de “Las 100 Marcas Más Valiosas del Mundo”. Los resultados se han publicado hoy en el diario Financial Times en exclusiva mundial.

Este ranking es el único que tiene en cuenta la opinión y fidelidad de los consumidores sobre las marcas a nivel mundial. Y destaca, además del claro liderazgo de Google, que dentro de las 10 marcas más valiosas del mundo se encuentran otras 4 tecnológicas como IBM ( 30% ), Apple ( 32% ), Microsoft (=) y Vodafone (-17% ) .

El ranking de este año ratifica también el buen hacer de Santander, BBVA, Movistar y Zara, las cuatro enseñas españolas que aparecen en el top 100 y que, pese a la crisis mundial, han visto aumentado su valor notablemente, escalando incluso posiciones con respecto al año anterior.

Además O2, filial de telefónica en países europeos como Reino Unido, Alemania, Irlanda o la República Checa, aumenta su valor un 23% , gracias al éxito de ventas del iPhone en Reino Unido, donde se vendieron más de dos millones de unidades, y al gran resultado obtenido en Alemania, tras la campaña de O2 Simplicity.

“Una de las conclusiones principales que se desprende del ranking BrandZ de este año es que aquellas marcas que apuestan por seguir consolidando su imagen a lo largo de todo el año a través de estrategias sólidas y bien definidas, mantienen la fidelidad de sus consumidores, incluso en tiempos de crisis”, señala Juan Ferrer–Vidal, Director General de Millward Brown España y Sur de Europa.

Marketing Ebooks: "Perspectives on Branding"


Who’s the real branding expert: the agency or the brand? Each has a different approach to what brand building's really all about and the methods needed to generate consumer loyalty. Each approaches brand building strategies from a different angle - a different perspective - and without understanding both points of view, the picture is never fully complete. Perspectives on Branding is the first book to offer both sides of the story.

In an easy-to-read, question/answer format, Jason Miletsky provides the agency perspective while Genevieve Smith gives the brand point of view on topics including what a brand actually is (not many people really get it, operationalizing the brand and making it tangible, successfully marketing the brand, the best ways to measure results, which brands do it right, and which brands do it wrong and a whole lot more.

What makes this book different from other branding books is that there is no author collaboration or sharing of information during the writing process. Neither author was aware of what the other was writing. The result is a fascinating, no-holds-barred look at branding as both the client and brand see it, leaving readers with a list of action items and a better understanding of core brand building concepts to dramatically improve their strategies.

Management Ebooks: "Big Ideas"


Innovation, creativity and change are the lifeblood of business but unlocking the innovative ability of an organization can be a difficult process.

A recent survey (Synectics, 2002) reveals a gap between what leading corporations say about the importance of innovation and what they actually do about it. However, this survey finds that there is a consistent connection between a company’s commitment to innovation and its success in the marketplace:

* Sales increase in highly innovative companies was 10.8% vs. only 5.7% in least innovative

* Profit increase in the most innovative companies was more than three times as great as in less innovative companies (51% vs. 14%)

* Market share increase in the more innovative companies was more than twice the growth (59% vs. 27% increase)

"Big Ideas" highlights pathways to creativity and shows how to establish conditions that lead to innovation and success. It is highly practical, and includes checklists, case studies and a "mind gym" questionnaire to establish the Innovation Quotient of an organization.

Management Ebooks: "The Green Collar Economy"


Starred Review. As the "ecological crisis nears the boiling point," human rights activist and environmental leader Jones (president of the national organization Green For All) lays out a visionary, meticulous and practical explanation of the two major challenges the U.S. currently faces-massive socioeconomic inequality and imminent ecological catastrophe-and how the current third wave of environmentalism, the "investment" wave, can solve both. If industry players want to take advantage of growing consumer demand for green solutions, they'll have to follow principles of inclusiveness as well as conservation and inventiveness to create "broad opportunity and shared prosperity" for citizens at all levels of society.

Rife with statistics, facts and history lessons, Jones introduces a "Green New Deal," a re-imagining of FDR's original New Deal that makes the government "a partner" (as opposed to a "nanny" or "bully") of the people, and sets about defining the principles of a "smart, supportive, reliable" partnership. Jones examines success stories from around the world (included close looks at Chicago and Milwaukee), defines government priorities at national and local levels and offers concrete solutions; one major positive step for any "significant U.S. metropolis" is to "invest massively in constructing buses, light rail cars, and mass-transit projects," creating good jobs while cutting greenhouse gases. With both caution and hope, Jones concludes that "tens of thousands of heroes at every level of human society" will be needed to carry off this third, and perhaps ultimate, green initiative.

Marketing Ebooks: "Memorable Customer Experiences"


Experiential marketing - or memorable customer experiences - is proving a popular tool amongst businesses seeking to make an impact in a competitive world. Yet the scramble to achieve a presence among experience providers has led many companies to design and implement experiential marketing without integrating it with their overall marketing strategy. These companies often end up dissatisfying their customers rather than delighting them. This research anthology investigates different angles of experiential marketing. The 16 chapters are organised in six sections. The first section considers whether memorable customer experiences result from the use of traditional marketing practices, perhaps implemented more effectively than previously, or require entirely new practices with new foundations that turn companies into experience providers.

Section two details ways businesses seek to build brands through putting experiential marketing into practice, while section three asks whether there are general principles that can be applied to the design of customer experiences which ensure successful outcomes whatever market you may operate in. Section four examines how companies manage their customer experiences once they have made the strategic decision to provide them, and section five looks at methods available to evaluate the success of these customer experiences. 'Experiential marketing changes everything!' claim the management gurus, but is it really so significant that not joining this race is dangerous? The last section of the book offers a much needed critique of experiential marketing.

Management Ebooks: "Leading Change: A Guide to Whole Systems Working"


There is continuing government pressure on public services to "reform". Expectations of new forms and standards of delivery, joined-up practice and the reconnection of services to users are high. Unfortunately, many policy makers have become reliant on mechanistic top-down audit and inspection regimes as the means of implementation. This book sets out to redress the balance. It argues powerfully that whole systems approaches are required to lead the changes towards the demands for new service configurations, partnership working and local and neighbourhood governance.

The book outlines the theory behind whole systems development and gives good practice guidance on how to effectively develop "systems" to improve joined-up working. "Leading Change": explores the "five keys" to whole systems development - leadership, public learning, diversity, meeting differently and follow-through; sets this in the context of five policy dilemmas and ten core values; and looks towards new forms of organising - towards communities of practice and managed networks. This book should be read by both policy-makers and practitioners across the public, private, not-for-profit, voluntary and community sectors, and especially the many who are seeking a better way to manage change. It is written in the hope and anticipation of reconnecting policy and practice, and all those engaged in these vital fields.

Managemenet Ebooks: "It’s Not as Bad as You Think"

An upbeat antidote to the gloom and doom forecasts of the financial future

Just about everyone is worried about the economy and markets. And the fear is that they will stay down for a long time. But a few brave voices say that the gloom and doom forecasts are just too pessimistic. Reality is that entrepreneurs don't give up. History is pretty clear, every time the economy is thought to be done, worn out, finished, it bounces back and heads to new highs. In fact, the economy and the markets-counter to conventional wisdom-have started to improve in the first half of 2009. Even housing is showing some signs of life.

With It's Not as Bad as You Think, Brian Wesbury, ranked as one of the top economic forecasters by the Wall Street Journal and USA Today, shows you that while the financial future may be hard to predict, it will ultimately be profitable over the long haul. In this easy-to-follow and engaging forecast of the future, Wesbury takes a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly-and debunks the pouting pundits of pessimism to show you how to prosper now and in the future.

  • An optimistic look at the economy and the markets written by one of today's foremost financial forecasters
  • Presents a roadmap to seek opportunities in all the panic
  • Shows you how to analyze economic indicators and government policy to grow your wealth so you don't lose by hiding under the bed

A breath of fresh air, Wesbury's objectivity and optimism provide welcome relief to the daily bad news stories, as he sets us all up to capitalize on tomorrow's great possibilities.
