A lot of people stick with the same country and region every single year when they book their annual holiday, and it’s easy to see why. Once you find somewhere you like which has good facilities you don’t want to go anywhere else.

The problem with that idea is that you are missing out on a lot of other experiences which you may like even more! Familiarity is good – but sometimes doing something completely out of the ordinary is even better.

Cars may get us from A to B (and sometimes even C and D) with a minimum of fuss, but they also cause lots of pollution. Yes, that’s right; in major cities and large towns throughout the world, motor vehicles cause a wide range of air pollution problems. Now a UK government advisor has suggested that drivers should be helped to see that a “cleaner” car is good for their bank balance as well as the environment.

In a report that was published alongside the Budget in May this year, Professor Julia King says she wants the lifetime costs of running a car to be prominently displayed in the showroom. Currently, new car buyers are told the cost of owning a car for a year. But Professor King argues it would be more persuasive to show running costs for a decade or longer.

Science fiction films have enchanted viewers for decades with notions of long distance space travel and homes that are fully voice controlled, with robots taking care of the household chores. As far fetched as these concepts once were, it seems that new technologies have enabled scientists to create science fact from science fiction. Implications of these new technologies are already being felt and it is the retail industry that is set to benefit by creating a more entertaining and interactive shopping experience. So how exactly will things change?

Touch screen technology is already available in a number of the high street stores, from the likes of self help screens at Argos, right through to self service checkouts in high street supermarkets. This is only the beginning, however. Scientists are working on new see-through touch screen colour screens that are attached to materials such as glass or plastic to give the impression of a floating display that customers can use to browse products, purchase items and even use the internet while in store.

A large number of companies are gearing up for sourcing products from China. Companies like Carrefour have China sourcing for a large range of their products with a 40% cut in expenditure as compared to buying those products from their respective countries. Products like chemicals, basic commodities, packaging, molding, casting, small machining and many other products or components are an important part of China Sourcing. Intelligent companies source only a fraction of their components where they can get the best results, while others are produced in the country. This can be done after a thorough market analysis. One such company is Ford Motors. It is very important to realize that it is not as easy to relocate all the sourcing strategies in a small period of time. In global sourcing, many companies have failed to meet the requirements due to lack of analysis and planning. This was because evaluating suppliers and managing supply chain operations turned out to be a little more complex then assumed.

Technology intensive processes demand considerable insight if process control is to be sustained. For large MNCs, reliable online technology motivates local operations, and augments the efforts towards maximizing cost effectiveness that China sourcing invariably brings. In addition, last couple of decades has seen huge capital and technology inflows which contributed to the rapid upgrading of Chinese industries; the past decade has witnessed the surging of many capital intensive and technology intensive industries in China.

When television shows want to show someone buying from a company or person that’s questionable, they generally show a scene where a customer buys fake brand name items from an alley or out of the back of someone’s car. These sellers are not credible. No one trusts them or their product. The customers are in the alley for the price only.

This is not how you want to be seen by your customers. If you tell them you have a quality product, you want them to believe it. People will return to you if they trust you. But before you have return customers, you need to get people through the door by building your credibility so that they trust you from the get-go.
