The advertising and marketing industry worldwide is in the throes of a serious problem. It is becoming increasingly difficult to grab eyeballs and break through the clutter.

...DOI: 10.2501/IJA-30-3-479-507 Young adults’ responses to product placement in movies and television shows A comparative study of the United States and South Korea Taejun (David) lee Bradley University Yongjun Sung and Sejung Marina Choi University of Texas at Austin This research examines young adults’ attitudes towards product placement in films and television shows from two countries that represent contrasting cultural distinctions: the US and Korea. The results suggest that young adults in both countries perceive film product placement in a similar way but, with respect to television, Korean respondents tend to perceive it as less effective in enhancing content realism and more unethical and misleading. In addition, the findings suggest that, for both film and TV, material- ism, attitude towards advertising, and realism enhancement appeared to be significant predictors of consumer cognitive response to product placement. However, cross-cultural differences were observed for TV product placement. In the US, materialism and real- ism enhancement were found to be most powerful predictors of cognitive response to product placement. In contrast, attitude towards advertising and materialism were found to be the strongest predictors in Korea. Implications for both advertising researchers and practitioners are provided. Introduction Movies have almost always been a popular medium for product placement. Product placement in movies can be an effective international marketing strategy...

...ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 Good economic circumstances usually make for great team-building. Its an excellent time to assemble the best talent that wants to be part of a profitable whole. With some diligence, its not difficult to get a model act together in terms of a mix of optimal goals and objectives for individuals, the team and the organization; set up systems for open and frequent communication, peer accountability; and create a culture that appreciates and bonds the team for best results. However, even in prosperous times things are never THAT perfect… and exceptional organizations more often than not, tend to get built by less than exceptional teams. And then there are times when the economy is less than booming. The times when businesses have to take tough calls. Are these a good time for building the finest teams? The last year demonstrates resoundingly that these are indeed great times to build excellent teams and very nimble teamwork. Periods when resources aren’t available for the asking, force organizations and teams to roll up their sleeves and develop REAL PEOPLE POWER. These are times when wise organizations leave behind any misguided reluctance to focus on teams and grapple squarely with the realization that without the right teams and work methods, the organization will not effectively identify and implement new ways to survive and thrive. Resource-scarce situations force huge efficiencies. They ensure that much more is achieved with less. Flatter organization...
