One on one: Michael Wu Lithium Technologies

Welcome to one another in our series of discussions with some of the most one acted on, entrepreneurs, authors and experts in Business today. Michael Wu, principal scientist lithium technologies, Analytics, and Brent Leary spoke about in this interview. WU's job is to "dig into the social interaction and group behavior in online communities and social networks with complex dynamics." This article has been modified since the publication. Hear the entire interview, gray and black, the speaker icon in the post (see the right "About the author" section above) at the end of the audio down to the page.

* * * * *

Small Business trends: the land of the State of California, Berkley With PhD, Biophysics, how you doing what you can do with lithium?

Michael Wu: In some sense, it is a natural progression. I have concluded his career with the PhD-is using mathematics and host-list loose model brain works, and now is, how do I use mathematics and statistics of the same type and model of the social functioning of the system. There are a lot of similarities, because the social system is essentially a group conversation, communication, and interaction with people. Neurosystem is a group of neurons connected synapses.

Small Business trends: Could you talk a little bit what the impact is particularly online influence, and why it is so important to businesspeople?

Michael Wu: My definition of a high level, is that the effect of changing or someone else has thought features ability. You can either change the climate of opinion or of someone or something or change the information in the emotions of their actions. The purchase of a friend, staying loyal – all of these initiated are a change in behavior.

It matters How you do it too, because you can do it by force. It can be used to make temppujen or frustration. You must not influence them then. The goal should be fully aware and willing to change their actions or their mind. It seems to be a high level.

How is this important for business? The easiest way to explain it is to think about the purchase channel. Most people in the Business know this concept. The levels of AIDA funnel – awareness, interest, desire and action. Operation is the final level.

When would you like to stay at any one move is unaware of the product into awareness, you can change their mind. If you are interested in the knowledge of the product, you can change their mind. When you move along the top of the purchase funnel with three layers, you are changing their mind-until the last level when you change their behavior as well.

Small Business trends: What effects do vaikuttajia?

Michael Wu: Lithium Technologies, we have about 10 years from the date on which the data of more than 200 communities. We have been able to quantify some random person's vaikuttajia compared to the effects of the community.

Typically, users will try to start some message to some of the seed – we call it seed routing on the population. Selecting seed routing on the population is very important, because if you choose a random user and influencer than seed routing on the population, the result is quite different. If the word-and your mouth with vaikuttajia seed, you can get almost 50% of the [more].

Small Business trends: So [vaikuttajia are] very important. But how do you find vaikuttajia?

Michael Wu: Most people are concerned only with the vaikuttajia. But the reality appears to be associated with the two parties: the influencer and the target. Evaluated, the influencer is not found, because what the target wants to influence what you want to find the influencer.

We found six different factors that will affect the way that seems to convey the influencer. The first is the of the credibility of the domain. The credibility of the domain, it means the influencer or knowledge of the specific domain. Does any thing as universal vaikuttajia.

The second factor is high bandwidth. Bandwidth is the ability to provide expertise, in particular, the influencer social media channel. [Includes factors such as] the number of followers, they tweet per day, or how often the amount of time they are posted to the blog. They are all tangible, measurable things.

The next the contents of the you want to share must be relevant to the item. If the target wants to buy your camera and influencer is specialized in gardening that is not going to work.

Most people, the author is one of the views of the the timing of the. The interests of the people and for the credibility of the change over time. This year may receive expert sports car expert camera next year.

The next the alignment of the channel. That means if your influencer and your objectives are, it would be better is in the same place. If the item is in a certain age and they use Twitter is useless for finding YouTube or LinkedIn influencer. The same applies to [geography]. If an item in the [client] in New York, is a useless influencer can be found in L.A.

Finally, the last element is the target or Trust confidence. Whether or not the influencer's credibility, the importance of bandwidth, or does not matter if the destination does not trust him.  To propagate and influence, you will have all six of these factors.

Small Business trends: what is the best way to get ONBOARD with the influencer and connect?

Michael Wu: In the community, a group of Likeminded people, where the vaikuttajia occurs naturally. How you can reward these vaikuttajia so they will work to create value for co for all? The traditional belief is, don't give them money because the money to corrupt everything.

There is some truth in it. People who are there to help, if you pay them, you may feel that you pay only a little money in no time. And people who want to raise money for the [help] is [really] help, which creates a negative user experience, and usually leads to the downfall of community.

But the economic reasons are not always bad. We have a case study, GiffGaff, which is based on U.K. mobile networks. They advertise themselves "company," as they consider their really low overhead.

The community to help them to provide customer service, marketing, and even k. reward members in two ways. One is a token of appreciation, kudos, but they also provide them with free minutes of their monthly bill. That financial reward, and seems to work.

It turns out to be the most important distinction is whether or not the reward of negotiable or not transferable. Money is transferable, but the free minutes only apply to Member. The fact that the reward is a siirtokelvottomia means, has a unique and special. What makes this type of reward work.

Small Business trends: where people learn more about you and ask you to read more?

2011 Small Business Marketing forecast

Let's talk about 2011 marketing trends. Can you say to yourself,

"A year has just begun – how can exist already the trend?"

Nov 2010 Ad-ology research study of small business owners, under the control of 752 "their attitude on the part of advertising."  Annual survey provides snapshot of small business owners to disclose their marketing plans and expected advertising expenditures for this year.  2011 Small Business Marketing forecast include U.s. firms with fewer than 100 employees (82% of those surveyed said they had 20 employees or less).

Ad-ology has been found in the small-business owners continued to drive the pump more resources to the various online marketing tactics.  When all of the online marketing is cheaper, relatively untapped and continuous buzz, which may or may not be the real bottom line impact if the company owner is well-executed plan.

 

Ad-ology research with small and medium-sized businesses use their marketing dollars in the year 2011, the best seats are on the email marketing (72.7% in 2011, vs. 56.6% in 2010) and the , the development of the company's Web site (70.5% of GDP in 2011, vs. 57,7% in 2010).

Social media world is nice to hear that small businesses are putting energy in their Web sites and email messages.  After all sites have to build yourself. And Tim Berry said in an earlier post on Small Biz trends, "email is social media and backbone."

In addition, the small business community waits forever for the optimistic, more sales this year (more than 56.2%).   At the same time they seem to be some relatively unused options, cost-effective digital mobile advertising increased, such as online videos, viable alternatives for the marketing year.

45% of companies plan to use online video to 2011, vs. 28.4% in 2010 for their placing on the market35.9 percent medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) means you are going to use your mobile advertising in 2011, vs. 21,3% in 2010

Only time will tell whether these objectives are to pass, but because the days are to us as the 2011 is a thing of the past seeing the other small business plan may be the equipment of a gift.  How to you can to market itself in 2011?

If you want to know more about the business and marketing plans in 2011, the full report is available in the Ad-ology resource inventory. They also make marketing forecast, tips and insights on issues of a cool site.  This is not as wide as the full report, but you may find an article or two that relates to the industry.

Do you need to hire this year? If you can find new employees?

Are you planning to hire new staff in 2011? Two years from the date on which the Tan staffs on the bone for many small businesses may feel is finally time to staff so they can take advantage of the recovery of sums paid though not due.

But do you know where to find these employees?

 

Letting the world has changed and the Wall Street Journal took a look at how companies are planning to have recently given birth or who are employed in the coming months. Here are some of them were found:

The companies intend to rely on less generic online signs (such as Monster.com), Businesses are using social networking sites more. Companies such as LinkedIn are networking and Headhunting, focusing on even (gasp) the poaching of qualified candidates to their competition.

The journal quotes the December survey according to the consulting company Executive Board co., which was found in 24% of companies expect the employment of third-party sites, and the use of the work of the boards in the next 12 months. At the same time, the study found, almost 80% controlled companies are dependent on the account of alternative methods, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and references from employees.

Even if you are not already in the hiring, other companies have. Labor Department figures show employment increased by 32% in November 2009 and November 2010. And the company's Board of Directors, research reports, December 2009 and December 2010, increased by 17% in each of the project is opened between the number of applications.

More job openings there as a small business are faced with large enterprises more competitive, when you take to hire. So what to do? The company's Board of Directors of the research is focused on the larger companies, but are still some valuable takeaways for small businesses.

, first, to get back to basics I think it is ironic that large companies are taking some time honored tactics for small companies is always used by the workers. Getting references to current employees, ask candidates through a network of contacts, and even competitors are looking for a job-seekers from all of the strategies that work well for small businesses.

, on the other hand, take the chance that social networking and the Web have given us supercharge our employee-search tactics Previously you would have to be actually 50 or 100 contacts with the Word you are looking for a new Marketing Director that, now you can choose the mouse clicks to know the people on the phone.

third, focus on quality, not quantity Putting the word out to a few select people really trust to give better Results than posting a job opening on Facebook (although the latter yet to win the General work of the Board of Directors lays down the list of interested applicants). You can save time by not wading through piles of applications — and find the perfect employee, much faster.

Tools Makita Power in the world of concrete 2011

Translate Request has too much data Parameter name: request Translate Request has too much data Parameter name: request Makita Power Tools at World of Concrete 2011 - CopTool - Power Tool Reviews & News Blog  « DeWalt Power Tools at World of Concrete 2011 | Main

Makita Power Tools at World of Concrete 2011

 

We have previously mentioned some of the new products from Bosch & DeWalt at the World of Concrete 2011 but we certainly have not forgotten about Makita Power Tools who showed up with an impressive outdoor set up and several new products. Not to mention all the Rockstar, Motocross, Makita Girl flair we have come to expect. Also check out this photo album from the Matika outdoor booth from World of Concrete 2011.  

"Makita offers a full range of solutions to the concrete pro, including rotary and demolition hammers, grinding and surfacing solutions, concrete power cutters, accessories, diamond blades, and more," said Wayne Hart, Communications Manager, Makita USA.  "Makita power tools deliver industrial strength performance with less vibration in a more compact size, and are engineered to beat up the concrete, not the end user.  World of Concrete is a great opportunity to present our latest best-in-class tools and let contractors feel the difference for themselves." 

Three New Demolition Hammers

Makita launched 3 brand new demolition hammers at this year’s WOC2011, including new HM1307CB 35lb (1-1/8” Hex), HM1203C 20lb (SDS-Max) and HM0870C 11lb (SDS-Max).

The new 35 lb. Demolition Hammer (HM1307CB) combines more control and less vibration with hard hitting power. The new HM1307CB is powered by a 14 AMP Makita-built motor with 34.9 Joules of impact energy and 730-1,450 BPM. At only 12.2 m/s2 vibration, the HM1307CB is engineered to deliver more power to the work surface for more efficient work. Ease-of-use features include a rubberized ergonomic soft grip to provide more comfort and control, and the easy-to-operate slide switch to increase productivity and allow for continuous use. In addition, the side-handle swivels 360° for greater control.

The new 20 lb. Demolition Hammer (HM1203C) is engineered with more power, more impact energy, and less weight than the previous model. The new HM1203C is powered by a 14 AMP Makita-built motor with 18.8 ft. lbs./ 25.5 joules of impact energy and 950-1,900 BPM. At only 15.5 m/s2 vibration, the HM1203C is engineered to deliver more power to the work surface for more efficient work. The HM1203C weighs only 20.3 lbs. for an improved power-to-weight ratio, and it’s ideal for vertical and horizontal applications.

The new 11 lb. Demolition Hammer (HM0870C) is also engineered with more power than the previous model. The new HM0870C is powered by a 10 AMP Makita-built motor with 11.4 joules of impact energy and 1,100 – 2,650 BPM. At only 11.0 m/s2 vibration, the HM0870C is engineered to deliver more power to the work surface for more efficient work. The HM0870C weighs only 11.1 lbs. for improved power-to weight ratio.

Dust Extraction

 

This topic keeps coming up and it looks like it will continue whether you are talking Makita Grinders with SJS (Super Joint System) technology, drilling holes with their SDS-Plus drills or any other form of cutting or grinding concrete. While we have seen a good amount of new technology it is our thought we will see even more R&D going specifically into dust extraction and disposal in the coming years. Most likely someday in the not to far off future there won’t be any dust in the air on jobsites.

Extracurricular Fun 

  

In addition to displays and demonstrations of the latest concrete solutions, Makita had a few additional elements at the booth, including the Rockstar Makita LeDuc Race Team and their 900 HP Truck. Curt, Kyle, and Todd LeDuc are the best family race team in the off-road business. They also use Makita tools to keep their trucks on-track in high-energy racing throughout the year. As usual Makita provides a team of very attractive women in addition to Miss Makita & Senorita Makita to talk in-depth about the technology and engineering behind each tool… or just to look pretty and smile a lot.
