Sinopse

Unintended Slogans explores the high-stakes world where marketing slogans go wrong, revealing how mistranslations and cultural misunderstandings can turn branding gold into comedic or offensive blunders. Crucially, seemingly small linguistic errors can lead to significant financial losses and damage a company’s brand reputation. For example, a slogan intended to convey reliability might, due to incorrect translation, suggest something entirely inappropriate or nonsensical in another language.

The book is structured in three parts, beginning with the principles of cross-cultural communication. It then moves into detailed case studies of slogan failures across various industries and geographic regions, showcasing the specific linguistic or cultural factors at play. Finally, it offers actionable strategies, such as linguistic audits and cultural consultation, to help businesses avoid these pitfalls. This approach is valuable for business management as it provides practical guidance for navigating the complexities of global branding and international business.

The book emphasizes practical application, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world practice. It provides concrete strategies for marketers and business professionals to ensure their brand messaging resonates positively across diverse global markets. By understanding the importance of language arts and cross-cultural sensitivity, businesses can protect their brand reputation and avoid costly marketing failures.

Labour shortages, pensions crises and ballooning debt threaten to engulf us all, and sooner than we think. Unless we radically change our attitudes towards parenthood and embrace a new progressive pro-natalism, argues Morland, we face disaster.

On Benefits

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as ‘On Benefits’. However, it is more usefully titled ‘On Favours’, because this is what it is essentially about: the giving and receiving of favours, with all the implications of such transactions. Seneca is concerned with demonstrating that while such exchanges can be straightforward and beneficial to both parties, often there are pitfalls and hidden complications that, sooner or later, result in problems. Though some centuries later Shakespeare summed it up concisely with Polonius’s warning: ‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be,’ Seneca is well aware that in all levels and activities of society, benefits or favours play an undoubtedly crucial role. This was certainly true of Roman society, but little has changed since. Seneca deals with the subject in detail, considering the purposes of role of the giver, of which ‘kindness’, he says, is an important aspect – but not the only one by any means. Similarly, the role and attitude of the receiver, plays its part – and ‘gratitude’ is again only one response. Seneca’s background as a Stoic underpins his approach, so he warns against the inappropriate giving and receiving of benefits, which extend far beyond just material goods: it includes influence, wives, patronage and all manner of vice and immorality. In short, Seneca points out that the giving and receiving of favours can be, and often is a pernicious and dangerous affair, resulting in later disaster. Something to be exercised with caution.
