...Psychol. 20: 1181–1194 (2006) Published online 6 July 2006 in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/acp.1257 Brand Logo and Name Association: It’s all in the Name HEATHER BUTTLE1* and NIKKI WESTOBY2 1 2 Massey University, New Zealand University of Wales, Bangor, UK SUMMARY Despite the expense of designing and the popularity of using logos to represent brands, there is a paucity of information on how such symbols are processed. This series of experiments used Repetition Blindness (RB) to measure implicit association of logos and names that varied in (1) the abstractness of the logo, and (2) the level of familiarity with the logo. RB is a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when two items, presented in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP), are encoded along repeated dimensions (e.g. visual, phonological, semantic) resulting in only one item being perceived (Bavelier, 1994; Buttle, Ball, Zhang, & Raymond, 2005; Kanwisher, 1987). Phonological RB was revealed for both abstract and figurative logos and occurred regardless of familiarity. The results suggest that as long as a consumer has the opportunity to be exposed to the name of a logo then logo-name association learning is a rapid process. Copyright # 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Companies use logos to convey the unique identity of their products, services, or organizations. A great deal of effort is expended on creating a logo so that it succeeds in generating a representation in the viewer’s mind...

...Consumer behaviour and loyalty to a particular brand are of great importance to anyone working within the field of marketing and advertising. Whether we are talking about an object to be sold or a service to be provided the presentation and quality are the first thing that the consumer will take into account and that will determine by enlarge the success or failure of a brand or a particular product from a set corresponding to one brand. The examples I have chosen are products that provide the same functionalities to the consumer, however the way and the presentation that they accomplish this task is vastly different. The products I have chosen are Operating Systems and they are: Microsoft Windows 10 Technical Demo and Ubuntu 14.10. Both of them were released in October of 2014 and we will examine their properties as products and also the consumer reactions to the products themselves. First we must define the term Technical Demo. It can be defined as the incomplete product that provides basic functionalities that is released to the public for free, so that potential clients and customers can properly measure the utility and usefulness of the product or service. An analogy to this are free trial memberships for services, use of on-line shopping website (www.amazon.com). As know “consumers are a brand’s most important asset”.

...AND HEALTH CARE INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS NATIONAL SECURITY POPULATION AND AGING PUBLIC SAFETY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SUBSTANCE ABUSE TERRORISM AND HOMELAND SECURITY TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE WORKFORCE AND WORKPLACE C ybersecurity economics is an emerging field. There is a significant need for better data, better understanding, and better methods for using resources wisely, not only to protect critical products and services but also to provide assurances that software will work as expected. In two articles, RAND senior scientist Shari Lawrence Pfleeger and her colleagues addressed these key cybersecurity concerns and identified how different types of companies or organizations perceive the importance of cybersecurity and make cybersecurity investment decisions. Abstract The emerging field of cybersecurity economics could benefit from better data, better understanding, and better methods for using resources wisely, not only to protect critical products and services but also to provide assurances that software will work as expected.

In particular, it suggests that companies, the government, and other organizations can help improve our understanding of cybersecurity economics by monitoring cybersecurity incidents and responses, soliciting and using standard terminology and measures, and...

...Integration of financial services in banking The financial world is changing rapidly. With increasing globalization, the blurring of distinctions, market regulation and the growth of internet enabled services, the banking sector is increasingly competitive. In the present times where banks are grappling with their declining bottom line and rise in NPAs, Innovation has become imperative for them. Product quality and price are rapidly becoming less distinctive in the battle for customers. Financial industry is at the cusp of the shift in financial sector and financial flows between banks, insurers and pension funds. The answer for the banks to these developments lies in the integration of all the financial services provided by the banks by becoming more customer-oriented. The integration of all financial services should be with the customer as the central starting point after understanding the overall financial status of a customer and providing a tailored advice for the customers. To make this possible, products, agreements, conditions and settlements are integrated into a logical and easy fashion for the customer. This can be achieved by the addition of a service layer. This service layer will assemble the separate services like banking, investment, mortgage and insurance into an integrated financial service. Following context diagram indicates the design: Advisor Client Total Agreement Service Desk Monitoring Customer Aggrements Mortgage Insurance Investment Saving/loan ...

...Every company needs a “signature experience” that sets it apart. By explicitly communicating what makes your firm unique, you can dramatically improve employee engagement and performance. What It Means to Work Here by Tamara J. Erickson and Lynda Gratton IT’S THE HR EQUIVALENT OF KEEPING UP | 104 Harvard Business Review March 2007 | hbr.org Jason Greenberg with the Joneses: In their quest to find and retain top talent, businesses often try to match competitors’ offers, ensuring that their compensation schemes, health care benefits, training programs, and other talent-management practices are in line with the rest of the industry’s. While this strategy may be useful for bringing job candidates to the door, it’s not necessarily the most effective way to usher the right people across the threshold – great employees who will be enthusiastic about their work and fiercely loyal to the organization and its mission. What It Means to Work Here Nor does marching in lockstep with industry standards prompt companies to consider what’s unique about their histories and values or potential employees’ attitudes about work. Certainly, reasonable pay and a breadth of health care options matter to prospective hires, as do the tasks they’ll have to perform. But people also choose jobs–and, more important, become engaged with their work – on the basis of how well their preferences and aspirations mesh with those of the organization. Imagine yours is one of three job...

...Introduction In case, as a team leader, I am trying to correct one of subordinate’ behaviours and point out shortcomings, however, the relationship with subordinate becomes more difficult. Unskillful communication ability could affect subordinates’ working efficiency directly, which means I need working overtime to cope with team project that is a delay by some subordinate. Because I do not delegate workload on the basis of each team member’s timetable. As can be seen that weakly supportive communication skills and lack of efficient and effective time management skills severely impact my life. This essay will base on this personal experience as a case study to analyse those two skills by using Kolb’s experiential learning cycle. Reflective observation Firstly, this essay will analyse two skills by the skill assessment to reflect and observe the experience from many different perspectives. First is supportive communication. According to MBIT test, my personality is ESTJ (The supervisors), which means a person with this personality are taking an outspoken leadership role that could affect communication skills (Hogan & Champagne 1980). Based on people assessment management skills (PAMS) (Whetten & Cameron 2011, p. 24), the score of supportive communication is 77.78%, which is the weakest one. According to my case, the interpersonal relationship will not become strengthen when I try to correct subordinate’s behaviour at some time. Furthermore, I will give some advice...
