Beschreibung

In the tradition of Pour Your Heart Into It and How Starbucks Saved My Life, a surprising and inspiring memoir from the founders of Banana Republic.With $1,500 and no business experience, Mel and Patricia Ziegler turned a wild idea into a company that would become the international retail colossus Banana Republic. Re-imagining military surplus as safari and expedition wear, the former journalist and artist created a world that captured the zeitgeist for a generation and spoke to the creativity, adventure, and independence in everyone. In a book that’s honest, funny, and charming, Mel and Patricia tell in alternating voices how they upended business conventions and survived on their wits and imagination. Many retail and fashion merchants still consider Banana Republic’s early heyday to be one of the most remarkable stories in fashion and business history. The couple detail how, as “professional amateurs,” they developed the wildly original merchandise and marketing innovations that broke all retail records and produced what has been acclaimed by industry professionals to be “the best catalogue of all time.” A love story wrapped in a business adventure, Wild Company is a soulful, inspiring tale for readers determined to create their own destiny with a passion for life and work and fun.

    Marketing in the Participation Age is based on the Intrinsic  Motivation Theory that people are motivated to seek challenges, to  discover new perspectives, and in doing so, the activity itself  stimulates their desire to actualize their individual human  potential.    If a person is intrinsically motivated, they will choose to  actively engage and participate and the experience will be  rewarding.  Social environments can be designed to facilitate  and enable participation, or they can just as easily cause  disruption and disinterest.  This theory has been applied to psychology and education.   It has never been applied to marketing because it has not been  relevant to do sountil now.  Living by the principles  of Marketing in the Participation Age will help  companies edge out their competitors, and conscientiously plan  their programs to activate a set of motivational elements that work  together to inspire people to join, share, take part, connect, and  engage.  The key to customer participation is to activate all  three elements of the framework:    Discover:   The human desire to continually learn, and the satisfaction of  becoming competent at something.  In what ways are you  inviting Participants to learn more about your  product/brand?   Empower:   Inviting someone to have a meaningful contribution to the brand  and/or product.  Do you invite Participants to connect with  the brand: provide feedback, offer tips and suggestions, and help  to create the product itself?  Connect:   Humans love to interact with others in meaningful ways.   Brands often only think of creating environments that allow  Participants to connect with the brand, but do you build  environments that foster relationships with others who may share  the same interest?

    Just as with raising children or as in nurturing one’s career, “success” with personal investing allows plenty of room for subjectivity. After exploring the common opinion of prominent economic actors, established entrepreneurs and financial advisors, I have come to define a successful investor as someone who, with a moderate of time, devises an investment strategy to achieve financial and personal objectives and who gains access to competitive returns by undertaking a certain degree of financial risk. Upon a careful investigation of recent market trends, investing research and stock market perception, it becomes apparent that stock market-specific decision-making builds both on objective variables (unbiased reports, facts, financial figures, diagrams), and subjective factors, in other words, investors’ reactions to quantifiable market indicators (apprehension, haste, stubbornness, fear, greed, impatience, etc.). Especially among the ranks of inexperienced stock market investors, this overlap renders market actors prone to a number of investing mistakes, some bigger than others. In other words, quality decision-making in stock trading is not limited to staying up to date with the facts; it is more about learning how to perceive and interpret the information you get in order to come up with conscious, well-thought-out action plans. Even the most knowledgeable and intelligent stock market players can succumb to simple mistakes if they base their decisions on pure instinct instead of reasoning.
