Hello dear readers and entrepreneurs a while ago I published a very interesting article on this fresh way of marketing such as the Emotional Marketing, which consists of elements of the marketing associated with human feelings and emotions.

I say that is not renewed by anything new products that are associated with emotions especially since there is advertising, but today I share an idea for a post published in puromarketing.com based on the same topic.

Premarketing said to be increasingly indivisible, marketing and emotions but now marketers have added a word much in vogue in social networks, viral.

Primary emotions we care for our analysis are surprise and happiness, which are referred to as positive and you want to generate to influence the decision to purchase. But how virility is reached in this strategy? The answer is the word “impact” is an emotion indispensable for virility.

Why is marketing so effective link to the emotions?

1. Because no one can resist: people have an involuntary reaction that leads us to cancel any other type of analysis (compare prices) and remember exactly the announcement of the brand that evoked a positive emotion.

2. It requires effort: to reach the connection to the client through the emotion is less cognitive effort by the consumer. This means you do not need to jog your memory, the evocation of emotion will be enough to remember the brand that was transmitted.

3. It encourages and motivates: Marketing campaigns based on emotions, on the balance between impact-emotion, are highly encouraging for consumers are also why they have highly viral because consumers who share that excitement with their networks.

4. Increases the influence of brands: a campaign to choose a marketing strategy based on feelings, increases their exposure and captures the attention of your target audience, so that their level of position and influence, improve substantially.

This directly affects the viral, the greater the influence of the brand that generates emotion are viral campaigns. And why it works so well the emotional marketing an online business?

Why is it not necessary to have large advertising budgets to focus on awakening hoisted and cause “shock and happiness”, the two important emotions for marketing and social networks are the most effective means to promote emotions, why? Why Social Media Marketing is more … FBE (easier, cheaper and more efficient).

Every day there are many entrepreneurs who are released with a business idea or a business project, not all produce a business plan and not all business plans are done correctly.

Because this document is the most important step to undertake when it will be your guide sheet Ruto or at least in the beginning, here I share with you some mistakes you should avoid to achieve a successful boot:

1. The magic idea

Many entrepreneurs believe that their ideas are part of a divine illumination. The creative process does not require extensive knowledge, it is necessary to have the humility to abstract ideas and analyze coldly.

2. The fear that I copied the idea

Entrepreneurs can act strangely and consider that your idea is a milestone in the history of mankind, so you can see a potential consultant on anyone and could be a real trick and use it or usurper of your business idea.

3. Not thinking about emergency exits in case

If the deal goes wrong, there is an attachment to the business plan that says how the company will be liquidated in case of no success.

4. Chaos in the Management

Many entrepreneurs believe change managers, but not seen as tools to manage continuous change leads the market with its dynamic growth.

5. What was the main idea?

Many people miss the main goals they had when the idea began to take shape, so they begin to consider secondary issues and random business. The problem is that you begin to focus on them, completely losing the main focus.

6. Working with the family

There is a trend to use family members to deal with good ideas, which is not recommended when forming the hierarchy of who will take over the business.

7. Minor image

Though many we are clear that a picture says a thousand words, entrepreneurs generally have little knowledge on the use of graphic design and make works of true terror. Do not design your logo yourself, or your website, it is best to do a professional.

8. Administration of the blame

99% of project failures are the fault of the entrepreneurs, but never acknowledge their mistake. If you fail, try to be sincere and accept your mistakes, it is the only way to grow. Please try again, never give up.

It is conceived as the process of managing technology development, implementation and dissemination in the industrial, public and private sectors and society in general. Also involves managing the process of innovation through research and development (ID), which includes the introduction and use of technology in products, industrial processes, and other structural and functional areas of the company, as well as the use of this knowledge in solving various problems of society, human beings and the environment.

The GT is of vital importance in contemporary management, as it is a powerful tool that should be framed within the overall innovation processes developed in organizations. The control of technology resources provides a competitive advantage for organizations, especially those in which is integrated into the overall strategy of the company. And this is much more important for organizations dedicated to the generation of products or services in high technology sectors in which the validity of a particular technology (in terms of adequacy and performance compared to other competitors) is increasingly smaller (shorter product cycles).

For COTEC foundation for technological innovation, technology management includes all activities that enable an organization to make the best use of science and technology generated both externally and internally.

A collection of systematic methods of process management application of knowledge, extend the range of human activities and produce goods and services to gain competitive advantage in organizations.

From there lies an organization that has incorporated technology management in their culture, allows the activities of it are incorporated in the value chain and are carried out systematically by means of basic processes that carry out functions of technology management.

The processes under study of technology management in social processes are complex, multidimensional, inseparable from its context and the totality of social processes, and therefore statements involve historical dimensions and characteristics, economic and sociological. It is technology management as an area of ??knowledge and transdisciplinary field of knowledge, which combines and relates this knowledge parceled, through its restructuring and re-contextualization, to build a better vision that incorporates all of characteristics of the process.

The process of technology management, as well as the process of technological development and use of the technology itself can only be the domain of knowledge, skills and abilities associated with these processes. Knowledge, skills and abilities that constitute the technological capabilities, which are those that enable and support all activities involved in technological development, but also everything that an organization or company does in its value chain.

They are part of the technological resources, along with all the facilities and other intangibles such as intellectual property, databases and knowledge. These are capabilities that support the features of products and services, processes and production methods, materials used, methods of organization and management and administrative processes, and with which they operate, improve, transform, replace and create production systems and products.

It becomes much more important this function of technology management from the recognition that technological resources are essential elements that enable companies and countries to participate in a stable and growing markets.

The GT is an important factor of competitiveness for all that she represents for the organization at the level of the particular company is not sufficient to achieve full competitiveness, since the latter is systemic, and it is no secret that international markets not only competing companies.
