Other Added - Brand Building For Profit: The Colour Behind the Brand and Why I Wear Red Ties!
Entrepreneurship has been defined by many psychologists and researchers in different terms having more or less the same meaning. Richard Cantillon, an Irishman, first defined the term entrepreneur and its unique risk bearing character, for the first time in the 18th century. But it is Alan Jacobowitz, a professor of p
Such effects could be due to instinctive behaviour, says Barton. In animal displays red in particular seems to vary with dominance and testosterone levels. Human competitors might experience a testosterone surge while wearing the colour, he says, or feel submissive when facing a scarlet opponent.

Many materials used in industrial processes are potentially dangerous to our health and to the environment. With the increasing complexity and sophistication of modern industrial processes, the use hazardous materials, such as chemicals, solvents and rare metals, are also on the rise. The wastes produced by these indu
Many of you know my passion for wearing red ties. I believe congruency with your personal and corporate brand is essential for professionals in the services-based industries, especially consultants, coaches, speakers and trainers.
A Special Report by Mairi Macleod in the New Scientist Magazine on 18 May 2005 argues red is the colour if winning is your game.
She reports the Washington Redskins, Manchester United and the Welsh rugby team have all been playing with an unfair advantage. Just seeing their red kit is seemingly enough to cow their opponents into submission even before a ball is kicked.
The report highlights how Russell Hill and Robert Barton of Durham University in the UK tracked success in four Olympic sports: boxing, taekwondo, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling.
According to the report, in these sports athletes do not wear national colours, but are randomly assigned either red or blue.
The article journals of 441 bouts, reds won 242 and in all four sports reds triumphed in more contests. And the red advantage was higher in close encounters: 62 per cent of red-garbed competitors won these. But in pushover contests there were similar numbers of red and blue winners.
"If you're rubbish, a red shirt won't stop you from losing," Barton says in the article.
The same is true in soccer. Five teams in the Euro 2004 competition who had predominantly red in one of their two kits all did significantly better while wearing red, scoring around one extra goal per game.
Such effects could be due to instinctive behaviour, says Barton. In animal displays red in particular seems to vary with dominance and testosterone levels. Human competitors might experience a testosterone surge while wearing the colour, he says, or feel submissive when facing a scarlet opponent.

I’ve always considered Intel to be one of the world’s best-managed technology brands. Last year, Interbrand ranked Intel as the fifth most valuable brand in the world. And it consistently stays in the top ten because management works hard to make sure the brand remains relevant in the fast-moving semiconductor marke

Perhaps you have seen the catalogs or talk to a company that rents giant blowup guerrillas that you can use to help advertise your store. But does it really makes sense to put a big blow up guerrilla in front of your store to make people look and get their attention? In some cases it does, but consider if you will t

It’s true – now fashion designers are coming up with collections sizing minus zero.Don’t have an idea of a minus-zero size women? Well, a good example is the soccer star’s wife Victoria Bec

Without other people, you can’t make sales, you don’t have affiliates, you don’t have JVs, you don’t have collaboration. That means you painstakingly have to do everything yourself and you only ever have a very small percentage of the reach you could have.Earlier today I was re-reading Mike Filsaime’s Butterfl

Evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar from the University of Liverpool speculates that primate eyes may be particularly sensitive to red. "The significance is then a matter of context," he says. Red fruit is good; red competitors are bad.
Performance director of the Great Britain taekwondo team, Gary Hall, says most of his athletes don't have a strong colour preference. But he says that if red is an advantage the sport should consider changing kits. "We should take out any anomaly like that," Hall told New Scientist.
