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.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
