11/7/2009 我的关键字 2009-11-07 诺基亚 渠道 诺基亚中国的渠道设置那是相当的复杂,为了榨取最大利润,无可厚非。但是,利益的流向就像水流一样,堵也堵不住,所以爆出了渠道门。实际上,渠道门事件可能只是诺基亚管理和公关上的小小漏洞,更大的问题是产品策略。同一个型号的手机换n个不同的外壳,作为不同的机型上市,在低端打转,在智能机和3G上落后,特别是对 TD-CDMA 的主顾中移动的号召竟然无动于衷。(2009年第三季度财报,诺基亚报出了13年来的首次季度亏损。) 米其林 中国 亏损 合资8年,产量和产值持续上升,却连年亏损,共亏损10亿元,中方双钱集团无奈退出,米其林全面接手的变为独资公司。这就是外资的险恶经营路线。所谓的“恶意亏损”和“米其林式亏损”。恶劣的影响:中方品牌可能彻底消失、国有资产流失、外资垄断。这也绝不是单个事例。 赛格三星 市场换技术 赛格三星死守CRT几近守死。这个单个事例可研究的不多。可是扩展开来,有意思的多。两个问题: 1. 韩国棒子不可信。一旦有问题,立即关厂偷偷溜走,这个只有韩国棒子做得出(不是指三星); 2. 市场换技术。这个证明大多数是骗人的。拿一汽大众(一汽)和上海大众(上汽)来比较奇瑞。还有太多是,市场没了技术也拿到。 三洋 中国 市场 外资企业如何在中国产品定位和渠道设置是取胜的关键。这是一个反面的例子。 比亚迪 巴菲特投资的中国企业,绝对值得关注。它身上有很多热点:新能源、低成本管理优势、拷贝的能力。 李宁 波特兰 波特兰是耐克总部,李宁在波特兰设置设计中心。李宁公司的利润已经赶超世界排名第二的阿迪达斯。所以,李宁公司和李宁这个人是值得研究的。 ITAT 看起来是一个绝妙的商业模式,可是有很多漏洞,比如客户体验,产品服务。一群著名风投进入。资本家就是这样,先把它吹大,上市,最后收网。 荣海 海星 十年前,在我读书的时候就知道这家公司,应该是当时国内为数不多的电脑品牌(西北唯一的?)。回头再看看国内电脑品牌的发展(大部分早已消失了)和多元化发展的利弊,应该很有意思。 城市化 值得关注的不是大城市的“城市化”,而是二、三线甚至四线城市的“城市化”和“城镇化”。这里的人们的购买力已经十分强劲。这将是一个相当广阔的市场,从衣服、快餐到汽车、房产、奢侈品等等。 LED 照明 让吴宗宪急流勇退而投入的行业,像新能源和物联网一样的热门。实际上,LED应该比另外两个近期看来更靠谱。 卫哲 职业发展 极少数,没有流过洋的,做到外资企业老板的,非常低调的,拿的钱不比唐骏少的,一个非常值得学习的经理人。学习他的职业发展。 11/3/2009 [Sharing] 5 Steps to Achieving Behavioral Change![]()
9/28/2009 我的关键字 2009-09-28 "通钢事件" 一个具有代表意义的事件,只是这一事件表现的更为激化。这里的关键角色吉林省国资委、地方政府、通化钢铁和建龙集团都代表了什么,值得研究。国有企业改制引起的利益纷争矛盾冲突有太多想象的空间。让我想起另两起事:1. 上汽双龙在韩国的遭遇。中国的工会在哪里?2. 严介和。我曾经推断此人不久必到,但是至今仍未倒。更是,在书店哲学柜台看到他的几本书(虽然噱头的成分居多)。此人要好好研究。 "铁本案" 这里的关键角色是中央政府、地方政府和民营企业。民营企业是草,无论长的多高,仍是需要依靠树干(地方政府),但政策是杆,一杆子打过来,草是折了,树干没事。所以,看好风向标最重要。 "陕西山川" "造林" 虽然仍无定论,但可以作为一奇案研究。一个政府多次嘉奖并宣传报道的公司,一日之间变为诈骗“非法吸收公众存款罪”,堪称奇案。民营企业是杂草,它的发展必要有原罪吗?政府部门的责任在哪里?民营企业筹集资金的渠道?其他值得研究类似有孙大午案和蚁力神案。 "山东钢铁" "日照钢铁" "重组" 又一个值得研究的案例。亏损的山东钢铁收购了盈利的日照钢铁,而且完全不可抗拒。有意思的话题:国营和民营的角力?地方政府发展思路的冲动?让我想起,新近的一个则新闻“中国企业500强净利润首次超美国500强”。中国人喜大。但是刨去垄断因素,中国的大企业和美国企业的竞争优势在哪里呢?? 扩展开来,推荐两本书:
9/20/2009 我的关键字 2009-09-20 读报读新闻的学习笔记,顺便记下来,以供日后查阅。 "85度C" 一家据称在台湾一举击败星巴克、以咖啡的名义卖面包的,最近在大陆火爆的面包店。虽然,我很怀疑它能吸引多少星巴克的客户,(价格相差几倍的咖啡,就把真伪的小资区分开来了,呵呵~~),但是,它的产品定位、经营管理和推广模式无疑是一个值得研究的话题。扩展开来,有两个有意思的话题,一是台湾饮食业的经营模式的研究,在上海,几乎到了,可能随便一个街角面馆的老板可能就是台湾人;二是中国烘培业的发展,在人数的基数在不断增长,特别是城市化的迅猛发展的前景下,烘培业应该会有大的前景。再者,这个市场还应该有细分。以我自己买面包的经验,还没有一个让我很满意的店家。要么店面邋遢,面包样式陈旧,要么面包花式很多但是多是大量添加辅料(肉松,奶油,糖精),而且价格贵。比如,我喜欢店家应该是:店面不要太大,装修简单但整洁,服务热情,面包花式不要太多,但要注意健康搭配,价格中等,提供少量饮品,提供少量或不提供座椅。这样,它应该是上海的便利店数目乘以2的规模,遍布街道和社区。 早就知道一个开面包店的名人。在色影无忌上, 有很多心里酸酸的摄影师们以妒忌、不屑、或愤恨的语气评论,某开面包店发财的暴发户,在非洲大地上,为了拍照,拿着最先进的相机,开着直升机驱赶野兽群。然后,贴上艺术的标签,开影展。他是“好利来”的老板罗红。 "优朋普乐" "MiTV互联网电视" 只要不是脑子进水,就知道MiTV就是直白的盗版。插上网线就可以下载影片然后播放,这确实是一个很好的卖点。好像,这样的点子往往只能出现的天朝的大地上。在路边摊上买张碟或许可以说也就算了,作为一个著名的公司甚至一个产业界这样去做,就值得深思了。其实,这样的环境已经造就了一个畸形的中国软件业。这是多么的畸形!有多少有理想有想法有技术的公司,奋斗多年却步步败退,转眼看,一批批以榨取(这个词夸张了点)中国年轻人金钱和精神的在线网络游戏却得到了空前的发展。 当然,我并不看好优朋普乐的诉讼,但至少是有一点声音发来了。 "水" "外资" "涨价" 人要活着就不开水,除了空气,这个是第二个最重要的。近年越来越多的地方的水务引进了外资。不是采取提高管理水平和效率的方式,而是直接引进外资,这样的做法,对于民生至关重要的公共服务,无疑是十分危险的。毫无疑问,涨价会越来越多。这个世界不变的东西不多,但资本家逐利的本性不会变。 9/14/2009 4 Ways to Keep Your Employees Happy
4 Ways to Keep Your Employees Happy Keeping people happy in their jobs is easier than it seems, especially when you focus on intrinsic rewards like pride in their work, rather than extrinsic rewards like money and stock options. Here are four ways to keep your employees positive: 1. Create meaningful roles. Don't be a stickler for job descriptions. Help your employees find what they like to do best and create roles that allow them to contribute to the bigger picture. 2. Give feedback. Tell your people regularly how they're doing. Avoid generic feedback by being honest and thoughtful. 3. Offer professional development. Ask your people where they want to be in five years and be sure you are helping them get there. 4. Say "thank you". Express your gratitude by thanking them regularly for their contributions. [Andy] It, of course, is not so easy to make your employees happy. However, it is pretty easy to make them "un-happy". These people are creatures of thoughts, emotions and concerns, instead of physical machines.
When I talked with someone about his manager, I was told the manager is a good manager. I asked why. The answer is, OK, he is a nice guy and he smiles at you when talk to you. It is funny. It is a problem of not only the employee, but also the manager. Manager should make his/her people understand what’s a good manager though his/her own actions/words. The risk for the manager is, once the employee realize what a manager should be, he/she will leave the team even with the promised promotions. 8/30/2009 我的杂志2米高
读书的时候养成的习惯,空闲时喜欢读报刊杂志。实际上,大学毕业以后一直赖以谋生的技术(软件开发)知识,大多是从报刊杂志中学到的。前些日子,发现家里的杂志越积越多,索性都堆到阳台上,用尺子量了量,2米多高。 数量较多的有: 《经理人》 大学时,从学长的旧书摊上买到几本,当时应该是似懂非懂,更多的只是感兴趣,后来若干年偶尔买过一些。现在出版的,没什么印象了,没有感觉很有价值的文章。 《财经》 国内为数不多的有价值的财经杂志,几乎每期都有深度挖掘和分析的文章。可惜往往没时间仔细读,再加上自己经济知识有限,买的不是很多。 《程序员》 前几年最爱的杂志之一,几乎每期必买,最近几年只是看到喜欢的买来作为消遣。总的感觉还不错,只是好像这些年没什么大的进步(可能和国内的软件开发水平相关)。今年还特地颇费了一些周折收集齐了2002年以来的合订本,作为留念。一个小插曲:在离开M公司之前,凭着印象,我从合订本里找到了一篇n年前采访一位元老级同事的事迹,扫描了发给他,对他自己也是个不小的惊喜。 《IT经理世界》 从2003年到2008年的最喜爱的杂志,倒不是因为它质量很好,只是因为它是这个领域里唯一的一份杂志。从中读到IT业界的变迁,很有感触。现在不再购买,因为它时效不足、文章越来越不知所云、而且涨价到20块。希望再有时间,把2003年以来的杂志重读,另作一篇关于IT发展的文章。 《读者》 实际上处理过一堆了,还有不少。一般是每周买报纸看到新的就买。 《书城》 一本有些小资情调的文艺杂志,模仿《New Yorker》,纸张和文章都不错。可惜破产了两次,最终终于破产了。我碰巧买到了最后一期。现在这份杂志还有,但是除了书名其它的全部变了(换了东家了)。新的没有买过。 《中国国家地理》 偶有精彩的一期才买。总的来说和NG差得还很远。 《新发现》 很有趣的科学杂志,偶尔作为消遣翻看,喜欢但买的不多。 《摄影之友》 坚持买过两年多,但后来停止,因为,枪文越来越多(1/3强),有价值的文章每期偶有一两篇(太多是初级小技巧的文章),再加上广告更多却又涨价。另外,它很喜欢用裸女(人体艺术)照作为封面。。。 《中国摄影》 现在唯一一份每期都买的杂志。文章整体来说比较有价值,稍有缺点就是官文太多。某些新闻稿,若干人名加上每人的若干官衔几乎占去了半个篇幅。 8/29/2009 逢低吸纳 MSFT
倘若这份调查报告属实的话,41%(企业用户有意愿升级到Win7)会是一个十分可观的数字!如果经济状况有好转,这个数字显然会有较大增长。对于没有升级到Vista的用户,Win7会是他们必须的、唯一的、不错的选择(WinXP support lifecycle ended on 14/04/2009)。所以,持有MSFT stock的同学,留意逢低吸纳吧! BTW,俺是郁闷的很a 。俺持有的5年,涨幅是-5.92 (-22.25%)。 AUGUST 28, 2009 Will Businesses Switch to Windows 7? 41% of 1,000 IT

It's the time say congratulations to me for the second time!! :-P One of my photos that took at the BarCampShanghai last week was published on 2006.10.02 issue of 21st Century Business Herald (二十一世纪经济报道). Since it was asked by the pretty reporter - 小玻 - of the newspaper, I provided the photo for free. But next time, it'll be charged! :P Oh. I haven't got time to write something about the BarCamp event. It's a very cool meeting! The most interesting thing of it is it's call "un-conference", which means that there is there is so-called organizer actully, and eveyone is encouraged to lead a session and to be participated. Simply, it's OPEN. BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. This is the first time BarCamp intruduced into China. It gathered around 50 (actually 80 registered) geeks. The topics covered Web 2.0, international business (China and west), web design, art, open source, agile development, and etc. Of course, we got a session on photography. The pity is I am the one Nikon :-S. (damn, it should be more Nikons...). By the way, thanks the T-shirt of ShellShadow. 9/14/2006 BarCampShanghai - Sep. 24, 2006
5/4/2005 CRM + SNS = ???CRM is used by operators and managers to track on the “pre-exist” customers. But sales may not like CRM systems (as it expected to be), since sales do not like to share detailed information about “personal” customers with others. Today, SNS (Social Networking Services, 1 2) is a hot buzzword. SNS is a new way to share the social networking relationships each other. In China, there is a startup (九帮网), which provides such kind of services, and they called it Corporate Relation Capital (CRC). But, personally, I do not think is it not good way on CRM+SNS, because people may not like to share the relationship publicly with some others. And also, I also think that the public and free SNS will be abused. The appropriate way may be add some more features like SNS into CRM system and it just focus on the sales people internally in a company. 4/20/2005 Be connected anywhere, anytime
Several years ago, I have talked with a guy about the future of the business platform/portal. We agree the following features that the platform should have: real-time, collaboration, communication on any devices or any manners (phone, FAX, e-mail, IM, Mobile device, etc). People are connected anywhere and anytime. For example, if a customer call your office phone and you are not available, it may transfer to your mobile phone automatically; if you got a FAX from a partner, then you may get a notification on your mobile phone. If you are in the office, you can collaborate seamlessly with your colleague in a global virtual team (Groove is a good product in this area, which was just acquired by Microsoft). Yeah, it is really a huge dream that can only be achieved by some big firms like Microsoft. 4/11/2005 Blogging SafelyIf you do not want to be fired by your boss, you should be very careful, and do not talk about privacy and confidential information of your employer and yourself. :-] 4/10/2005 BI with "Business Visualization"The New Era of Business Intelligence This emerging market opportunity includes "business visualization" solutions that enable people to see and understand information in new and ever more powerful ways. Some call it Visual BI. Many call it the next wave of innovation since it completely extends Microsoft's platform. Nearly all recognize the opportunity to differentiate and deliver real value by creating cost-effective solutions that help masses of people quickly make accurate, fact-based decisions. "Business Visualization" is not the same with the data visualization in scientific area. We do not just show the data as charts, plots, but we need to show something inside the data (the pattern, the trend, etc). This is the hardest part of "Business Visualization". "Business Visualization" is similar with the GUI design. In GUI design, we should always follow the simple principle: to keep simple and stupid. Yes, if the user can do a job by just one click, why do not you let them click twice or more. The prefect BI product maybe, user can just set the raw data, and the BI application will do all rest jobs and tell the user the state of the business health and the sales in next quarter... Hum... it is not so easy. Isn't it? |
