Frauen haben ganz spezielle Erwartungen an Dienstleistungen und Produkte – und dementsprechend konsumieren sie. Sie sind hochgebildet und zählen heutzutage zu den wichtigsten und zahlungskräftigsten Zielgruppen. Sie wünschen sich mehr Zeit, mehr Wertschätzung und Anbieter, die ihre Bedürfnisse verstehen und berücksichtigen. Die Herausforderung lautet also: Wie können Unternehmen Produkte und Dienstleistungen entwickeln und vermarkten, sodass sie die Frauen noch gezielter ansprechen? Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, führte die Boston Consulting Group eine groß angelegte Studie durch. Das Ergebnis: Eine Fülle an Informationen zu den Berufskarrieren, Einkünften, Beziehungen, Einkaufsgewohnheiten, Ängsten und Wünschen von Frauen. Die Prognose: In den kommenden Jahren werden sich sowohl der Einfluss als auch die Kaufkraft der weiblichen Bevölkerung weiter steigern. Eine unglaubliche Möglichkeit für Unternehmen, diese zahlungskräftige Zielgruppe für sich zu gewinnen – aber nur, wenn das Angebot stimmt.

If you're like most people, you bet your career and company on innovation--because you must. Payback: Reaping the Rewards of Innovation offers you a new way to think about and manage innovation that will dramatically improve the odds of success.Authors James Andrew and Harold Sirkin, senior partners in The Boston Consulting Group, describe an approach to managing innovation based on the concept of a cash curve--which tracks investment against time. They ask the questions you need to ask: How much should you invest in a new product or service? How fast should you push it to market? How quickly can you get to optimal value? How much additional investment should you pour into sustaining and building the product or service?Payback offers you practical and economically sound advice on when to pursue cash flow indirectly by first pursuing other benefits, such as brand and knowledge. It also shows you how to reshape the cash curve by using different business models--integrator, orchestrator, and licenser--each of which balances risk and reward differently.The authors then present a short list of decisions and activities that you must make--not delegate--to achieve a high return on innovation. You won't find facile answers in Payback --but you will find valuable insights and practical guidance for mastering one of the most challenging and critical business activities: innovation.

Word of mouth is an amazingly powerful force — but how does it really work?. Businesses have become obsessed with stimulating word-of- mouth to counteract the declining effectiveness of advertising. But it’s easier said than done. As the founder of BzzAgent, a community of more than 400,000 people who volunteer to talk to friends and acquaintances about products they genuinely love, Dave Balter is a successful practitioner, not a theorist. And he’s figured out how to measure and harness word-of-mouth without corrupting it. In Grapevine, Balter shows why honest feedback – about books, restaurants, gadgets, or anything else – is more believable than any paid endorser. And he answers some of the most elusive questions in marketing, such as what makes word-of-mouth very different from “buzz” and “viral marketing.”
