donwload white papers

Submitted by johnyuan on Fri, 02/29/2008 - 04:29.

I tried to download two white papers by providing my email address etc information.

These are:
1) How can a strategy map clarify the role of transformational applications?
and
2) Making the Business Case for Digital Asset Management.

I received an email to my email address but only contained the link to the second white paper I asked for.

So I redo my request again but received no email so far.

Any people have any idea what can I do to get another white paper?

Cheers,
John Yuan

Brand Franchise Building

“I personally don’t think there’s a big distinction [between brand and reputation]. I define branding as having three components: 1) identifiers, such as the name of the company or its logo; 2) its attributes, which be positive or negative and may consist of such characteristics as trust, integrity, or product-related benefits; and 3) the associations or linkages between the identifier and attributes, and how quickly they come to mind. A company with a strong reputation usually has powerful linkages between its identity and these attributes."

Digital Brand Interaction Data

"The need for marketing accountability and measurable results is absolutely key. [At HP] we look at view time and interaction rate … back-end behavior, which varies program by program: whether people register, sign up for an e-newsletter, request additional information, even thing like pages views. Getty to what that whole portfolio of brand-end data is critical. I don’t think that [brand] engagement means one specific thing."

"Go to any three-day-long developer conference, you get all the info about the tech, but what your really see is people getting together who have never met before. It's a club. The world of Second Life provides an excellent approximation of what we do in real life...We lose some of the face-to-face interaction but we gain from people being more candid...Just becuase it's in a virtual space doesn't mean it can't be as real."
