10 de junio de 2009 Por: CartPro Categoría: Extremidades del negocio, economía

Los resultados de un estudio publicaron en el diario Ciencia indique que la economía incierta está contribuyendo a cierta cantidad de paranoia del trabajador. A medida que los despidos continúan y las subidas del desempleo, la incertidumbre sobre su futuro puede tener trabajadores el imaginar de la conspiración detrás de cada aviso cerrado de la reunión y de la compañía de la puerta. La carencia del control sobre cómo la recesión afectará su empleo y finanzas tiene gente el buscar de los patrones donde existe ninguna. En un esfuerzo de ejercer control sobre el el unmanageable e imprevisible, Ciencia el estudio encontró que la gente creará relaciones significativas entre los acontecimientos donde existe ninguna.

En un artículo en línea encendido Tendencias industriales del mercado de ThomasNet, El carnicero de David explicado, “… el deseo de combatir incertidumbre y de mantener control a través de la estructura puede a veces ser tan todo el consumir ese truco de la gente ellos mismos en las cosas que ven y de creencias que no existen simplemente.”

Explorando el fenómeno psicologico llamado “opinión del patrón,” los investigadores condujeron una serie de experimentos para explorar la carencia del efecto del control tienen en comportamiento humano. El estudio fue conducido por Jennifer Whitson, profesor auxiliar en la escuela de McCombs del negocio en la universidad de Tejas en Austin, y profesor de Adán Galinsky, de Morris y de Alicia Kaplan del ética y de la decisión en la gerencia en la escuela de Kellogg de la gerencia en la universidad del noroeste en Chicago.

En los experimentos, dividieron a los participantes del estudio en dos grupos. Un grupo recibió la información que les hizo la sensación que tenían control sobre sus acciones en los panoramas de la prueba. La información proporcionada al otro grupo fue manipulada para hacer les la sensación incierta e impotente sobre su capacidad de afectar resultados de la prueba. En ausencia del control, una preponderancia de participantes del estudio procuró crear la orden donde existió ninguna, imaginando conexiones, las relaciones o causa y el efecto donde no se pensó ninguno. Las pruebas produjeron algunos resultados interesantes que pueden ayudar a dueños del negocio a entender no sólo los efectos psicologicos que la recesión está teniendo en sus empleados pero los cambios en la opinión y el comportamiento del cliente.

• La mitad de ésas en el grupo impotente encontró casi imágenes perceptibles en las hojas de los puntos al azar que no formaron ninguna imagen.
• Los que sentían la información negativa accentuada demasiado impotente en la determinación de riesgo de la inversión.
• En la lectura de una historia de una persona pasó sobre para la promoción, la conspiración culpada impotente de la oficina entre los compañeros de trabajo o reuniones del secreto entre los compañeros de trabajo y el jefe.

“Cuanto menos la gente del control tiene sobre sus vidas, cuanto más probable ella es intentar y recuperar control con la gimnasia mental,” Galinsky dicho. Las “sensaciones del control son tan importantes poblar que una carencia del control intrínsecamente está amenazando. While some misperceptions can be bad or lead one astray, they’re extremely common and most likely satisfy a deep and enduring psychological need.”

March 04, 2009 By: CartPro Category: Future Trends, Material Handling, Trade Shows

Powerful Positioning is the theme of this year’s MHEDA Annual Convention and Exhibitors’ Showcase. Scheduled for May 2 to 6 at the J.W. Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, California, the annual gathering of the Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association offers a chance to learn, network and find out what’s new in the industry. This year’s MHEDA convention will offer 16 exciting presentations from industry leaders geared to help you position your material handling business to weather the current economic storm and emerge stronger, better and more successful than before.

Here are snapshots of some of the presentations we’re looking forward to:

• Economic Trends and the Impact on Your Business by Alan Beaulieu. His twin Brian Beaulieu was a hit at MHEDA’s 2008 convention. Trend researcher and economist Alan will update the Beaulieus’ economic forecast for the industry and provide specific, practical management objectives you can incorporate in your current and future business plans.
• The Customer Empathy Solution by Ross Shafer. To earn your customer’s loyalty, it’s no longer enough to merely serve his needs. Today, quality customer service must succor the customer’s emotional state through every phase of a transaction. Author, motivational speaker and a regular on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Shafer will explain how to develop customer empathy and turn it into long-term customer loyalty. His talk is sure to feature hilarious excerpts from his latest book, “The Customer Shouts Back — 10 Things You Must Know If You Want Their Lifetime Loyalty.”
• Inside the White House and Hollywood … Getting to the Top with Character by Steve Ford. Son of President Gerald Ford and Betty Ford, actor Steve Ford will share his personal insights on leadership, adversity and making life choices. Given his unique personal experiences on stage and behind the scenes at the White House, Ford’s views on the importance of family and developing a personal moral code should be interesting.
• Relationship Economics — How to Build and Nurture Business Relationships by David Nour. Although it may sound like “sales reps are from Mars and customers are from Venus,” building strong relationships with customers builds business. A social networking strategist, Nour will focus on the art and science of relationships and how to incorporate these methodologies into the pursuit of customers.

Of course, in addition to the featured talks, MHEDA conventions always offer a good selection of down-to-earth, useful educational workshops. This year is no exception with sessions tackling profitability, credit and collections, negotiations, pricing optimization, website optimization, and salesmanship.
