...A THOUSAND SHADES OF GREEN Pieter Winsemius & Ulrich Guntram "What does it mean for the environment?" is a strategic corollary of almost any significant business decision today, and it is growingly becoming imperative for companies to take seriously their responsibilities to regulators, customers, employees and the wider society. "A Thousand Shades of Green", written by Pieter Winsemius and Ulrich Guntram, is aimed at business leaders in need of a clear understanding of the key corporate environmental challenges and the insight and vision required to meet them - imperatives such as engaging stakeholders and developing partnerships, understanding the policy-making process, forming corporate responses and drafting environmental management strategies - with the promise of genuine sustainable competitive advantage for their companies. Though for some time now, cost-reduction and differentiation are recognized as key to achieving competitive advantage, there is a need for strategic reorientation by companies in the present-day world where environmental concerns have rightly made it to the center-stage in most world affairs. As technology matures and quality becomes a standard given for doing business, environmental management and social responsibility will provide a new impetus and workable levers to organizations. The two imperatives towards the environment and the society at large are considered to be one and the same. Companies are no longer seen to be environmentally responsible...

...El olfato probablemente es el sentido mas difícil para trabajar en el sector de ventas, sin embargo, también es el sentido el cual apela en mayor magnitud a nuestras emociones y recuerdos. Los humanos tenemos 10 millones de receptores olfativos, lo cual nos permite reconocer mas de 4000 diferentes olores. Por ende, nuestra capacidad de recordar un olor es mas fuerte que la capacidad que tenemos de recordar una imagen o algo visto. Los profesionales del marketing usan el olfato como una forma de atraer el consumidor, pero también es usado en su mayor parte para crear una identidad propia de marca. Esto es un proceso complejo, ya que los olores son algo muy personal, pues lo que para una persona puede ser agradable, para la otra no. Es por esto, que actualmente una gran parte de la investigación en el campo del marketing sensorial esta dedicada a la expansión del marketing olfativo, ya que ha ganado una importancia innegable. Investigaciones realizadas por el Instituto del Sentido del Olfato indican que mientras que la capacidad de recordación por parte de las personas de imágenes baja a aproximadamente 50% después de solo tres meses, su capacidad de recordación de un olor es del 65% de exactitud luego de un año completo. Similarmente, un estudio realizado en la Universidad de Rockefeller muestra que en el corto plazo, los humanos solo recordamos un 1% de lo que tocamos, 2% de lo que escuchamos, 5% de lo que vemos, 15% de lo que degustamos y un 35% de lo que olemos...
