Competition

I am looking for a supplier for some stuff of company, then I found a site that can supplies spring plungers for every company with continue quantities. The number of quantity and delivery are the others keys beside product quality. Actually right now competition running with higher speed and no compromise any more, if we can survive we will get the best position in the business world.

Product quality is not a guarantee for company success because the market ask product with lower price as a big point. This paradigm supported with global crisis which warn every company to cut off their expenses as much as possible. Some people say this crisis can run for few years and the effect is bigger ever. So let’s prepare and maintain our business.

ISO Audit

Today we do an audit for ISO 9001 & 14001 system in my factory. Our internal auditor divided in three teams and every team has 3 persons. This is our first day from four days as our initial plan and for the first destination we go to the engineering department. We start on the 8 o’clock until 12 o’clock and during auditing we do crosscheck between document and field implementation.

In the AC compressor area we found some miss information on the machine operation standard. The maintenance schedule can’t be done without any reason even it scheduled regularly for few months. Look like this department still give enough attention on the ISO regulation for field operation and it become some minors and one major founded.

Loss aversion

Traditional finance assumes that investors behave rationally and evaluate the risk and potential return of investment strategies in terms of their expected utility or satisfaction. There are different ways of calibrating utility, but they all have the characteristic that they represent assump­tions about how investors should be expected to express preferences. They have the additional characteristic that they can be modeled math­ematically, which is convenient for modelers. Much less convenient is the widespread evidence that these rational utility models do not reflect how people view the prospect of financial gains or losses.

This has been reflected in prospect theory, which is built upon a wide range of experiments showing that people will take quite large risks to have some chance of avoiding otherwise certain losses, but that they are quick to bank any winnings. Investment banks tap into this investor pref­erence through sales of highly pro? table principal-protected structured products, which provide downside protection with the prospect of some combination of leveraged positive returns. In other words, they offer a seductive Read the rest of this entry »

Investor preferences

If investor biases should be managed, investor preferences should be respected and re?ected in investment strategy, in so far as it is both feasible and sensible (after discussing the various issues with an invest­ment adviser).

There are two particular areas of investor preference that have been highlighted by behavioural ?nance. The ? rst (perhaps not surprisingly) is loss aversion, which in behavioural ?nance ?lls the role of risk aversion in traditional ?nance. The second is mental accounting, which re?ects the way in which investors assign sums of money to different actual or notional accounts for different purposes with varying degrees of risk tolerance depending upon the importance of achieving the particular objective. For example, an individual’s summer vacation money will be in a different mental account (and probably a different actual account) from pension savings.

Understanding your customers

Understanding your customers begins by identifying their basic buying motives. While services and products are con-stantly changing, basic buying motives change very slowly. Understanding your customers also means gaining an insight into their buying role. The buyer/user decides what is needed, what will be bought and where it will be purchased. In other situations these roles may be played by different individuals. It helps to anticipate who has the need, who influences the pur-chase decision, and who actually decides what and where to buy. A business strategy that is squarely aimed at satisfying your customers’ basic buying motives will pay off in Read the rest of this entry »

That was shocking day for me. I got all my mail was wet because of rain. My mailbox was broken so when rain came all mail inside became wet. When I checked, I got that there was a hole because of rust at my mailbox. That was first rain at the rainy season and I did not check my mailbox before.
