What is the brand? And why should investors avoid bad brands?



In marketing courses, people always talk about the brand. They are saying that some company is a good brands. Or some company is a bad brands. The manufacturer of the product is an important thing. The manufacturer is part of the reputation of the product. 

And one of the reasons for that is simple. The manufacturer is one of the things that are forming the reputation. Things like well-known car manufacturers are the thing that is guaranteed service and high-quality products. 

The stock exchange prices are important for investors. But the reputation of the company is always important. If the company is involved in corruption or some other bad-looking activities, that thing causes bad things to investors. And in the worst cases, the wrong investments and bad brands are causing prosecutions or the loss of the investor's reputation. 


Things that are making brand are: 


*Stock exchange price

*Company

*Is the company's way operate openly? 

*How the company reacts to prosecutions or rumors? 

*Does it allow the audience to see the production environment? 

*Does its workers have the right to talk about that company and its environment on social media without being afraid of consequences? 

*Does the company follow the standards? Like the use of protective clothes and occupational safety. 

*What kind of salaries the company pays?

*Are summer workers returning to that company next summer?

*Products

*Quality of product

*Country where the company operates

*Where did the company acquire its raw material or products?

*Is production environment-friendly?

*Services 

*And the customer service attitude

*Does the company follow laws and support wealthy and legal businesses? (Stay away from corruption)

*Production environment

*Does the company follow western values? 

*Does the company care about its environment?

*What do regular people get from the company? 

etc. 


The last thing is important if the company wants to make large-scale investments for production in some area. If the production requires large-scale factories. Local politicians must support that investment. 

Don't support things that you don't want to tell other people. That makes some countries difficult areas for business. Things like a cheap workforce can cause problems somewhere else. 

When some start-ups will deliver their first products to marketing areas that product should be good. If there are problems or errors in that kind of product it can destroy the start-up. 

And even well-known companies cannot bring unworthy products to shops many times. The sellers will choose a new deliverer if the product is not what it should be. The worst thing is that people buy the product. 

Then they see that the product is not what it should be. So they return the product. And that means if there are errors they must get their money back. 

But then we must realize one thing. If something is wrong in the company's value chain, or marketing chain, that thing can destroy the company. 

The brand is a combination of product and manufacturer. But also some other things are affecting the reputation or brand. And one of those things is the country where the company produces its product. The political and social environments where the company operates on both sides of the production- and value chain are an important part of the brand. 

People expect modern companies. That owned by western companies are supporting western values. 

If a company selects the country where it produces its products by using the wrong categories, that thing causes negative feelings about that company and its products. And if the company cooperates with the wrong partners. That thing causes very bad damage to the image of the company. And that damages the brand. 

Things like a way to make business are one part of the brand. If the company is involved in corruption or violates human rights or pollutes the land that thing could cause catastrophe. Also if the working conditions in some countries are terrible, that thing can cause boycotts.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
