Casual Articles - Hewlett Packard - What was she Thinking?
How brand management can help utility organisations to create a ‘difference'.Ever thought why are many consumers willing to pay more for a trusted name brand instead of a store brand, which often is the very same product with a different label and higher price tag? Reputation. A company's reputation can be its greatest asset. Recent scandals such as that of AIG, Enron and WorldCom have seriously hampered the trust among stakeholder groups and widespread public scepticism about company ethics. If we look at the case of Andersen, the major reason why the company ceases to exist is because of the negative reputation that built up over a short period of
It’s just amazing when you think of it. Only in Hollywood movies do things go off without a hitch. It’s really BRAZEN of these highly paid individuals to believe that they could pull this off,
It is a truth universally acknowledged that webmasters seeking to build the prominence of their sites and their position in search engine results must of necessity engage in a dedicated link-building effort. All the search engines use the extent of inbound links to a web page as a means of assessing the value of that page, the logic being that if someone has bothered to provide a link to the page, there must be something worthwhile on it, and the more links there are, the more worthwhile it must be. Quantity, of course, is not everything, and the quality of those links is also important, measured usually by the Google PageRank of the page on which the l
The company has admitted that they hired outside parties to try to ascertain how information from Board meetings made its way into newspapers. The 3rd parties hired to do the job use Pretexting – a method where a person pretends, or masquerades as someone else. The purpose is to obtain that person’s calling records from the phone company.
Hewlett Packard’s Non Executive Chairman, Patricia Dunn has said she authorized the operation without realizing how far the investigators went. You have to be kidding. She has agreed to step down as of January 1 of next year. What an interesting way to reward inappropriate corporate behavior. She must know where the bones are buried, because the resignation should have been immediate, and without hesitation.
If you violate the law, that’s one thing. If you get called on it-That’s ANOTHER THING. These people got called on it. They got found out. This is a famous corporation with almost infinite legal resources. They literally have the best lawyers money can buy, and this is what they come up with. You know what they say, if the attorney don’t give you the opinion you want, find another attorney. In this case, the first attorney Hewlett Packard used was a prominent Silicon Valley lawyer who thought Pretexting sounded like a pretty good idea. He must be smoking the same thing that the Non-Executive Chairman was smoking.
Executives are supposed to execute, that’s why they call them executives. It wasn’t so with the folks at Hewlett. They were asleep at the switch wondering which bank to deposit their latest LAVISH stock options bonus into.
It has now become apparent that the scheme went deeper than anyone previously realized. Apparently Hewlett Packard was thinking about planting spies in news bureaus at two major media outlets. They included CNET, and the Wall Street Journal. The plan called for Hewlett Packard’s investigators to place clerical employees and/or cleaning crews in the offices of these entities looking for the source of the leaks.

Now, the tricky part comes next. When you go to mail this lead, they will not specifically remember opting in to your list – remember all they saw was a list with check boxes on it – and they will not recognize your name or your web site. At this point, many people will simply report you as spam.Now, there are several things you can do to reduce the chance of that happening, and there are several good books on coregistration, so I am not going to spend a lot of time here.One of the things you can do is send them a welcome email, reminding them ofout immediately. Then give them a free gift for opting in to your regular list.Now, you

An e-newsletter is a valuable tool in building a strong email marketing list.

All meaningful actions are performed for some reason or purpose. This is commonly called “motivation”. Success in selling requires an understanding of these basics of motivation:• Your motivation both as a person and as a salesperson• The other person’s motivation both as a person and as a buyerThe most important fact to remember in influencing the behaviour and decisions of others is that – “People do things for their reasons, not ours.”Every successful sale, then, is made not so much because of the excellence of your product or of your sales pitch, but because, consciously or unconsciously, you have found the human r

Actually, there is not much difference with an offline and online marketing. You can basically start with getting a marketing expert to give you a hand with planning. You need to make sure that you are well versed with the ins and out of Internet marketing. Once you know the basics, then you are on your way to earning money. A great Internet marketing will yield tremendous traffic and huge profit.You need to target a niche market. In this way, you can concentrate and focus your efforts on this market. Though there is no really a great formula on which marketing technique is better than the other, you can always experiment. You need to collect ideas

What about Institutional memory?
It is becoming increasingly apparent that corporations are suffering the same fate as governments which is that nobody is around long enough to remember history, and therefore INFLUENCE poorly thought out plans. I could do a book on this one and probably should, but here it goes.
In the late 1960’s, a famous multinational corporation called International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT) was being beat up by the Justice Department over mergers that the government didn’t like. What did ITT do? Attempting to get out of the investigation, there was a meeting of individuals that included the Chairman Harold Geneen, director Felix Rohatyn (later Ambassador to France under Clinton), and Nixon assistants Enrichment, Colson, Peterson, and Krogh, and Cabinet members Connally, Stans, Mitchell, Kleindienst, and McLaren.
The objective was to offer the Republicans $400,000 in cash towards financing the Republican national convention in San Diego. The whole thing became known through the Dita Beard memo. Beard was a lobbyist for ITT. They all thought they could keep it quiet, until it blew up in their faces. I guess nobody at Hewlett Packard took a political history course in college.
Folks when you are thinking about violating laws of the United States or any country for that matter, you have to be the proverbial “village idiot” to put it in WRITING. That’s what ITT did, and it cost them dearly. Here we are 35 years later and Hewlett Packard has memos flying all through their computers in the form of e-mails, and the government will use those memos to hang the corporate officers. What were they thinking?
What Hewlett Packard should have done?
This is easy, COME CLEAN. You call a meeting with reporters as quickly as you can, and you become 100% OPEN and TRANSPARENT. You are apologetic, and you attempt to lay it all out on the table, even if you don’t have the whole story. This is what I call Crisis 101 management. Instead, HP decided to put info
