Chinese Connection: Do you want to set up some sort of business or linkage in China?

2009-11-07T21:43:02-08:00

Ask yourself;

1) How good is my business plan? No plan? STOP until you have a solid plan.

2) How well do I know the products?

3) How confident am I of my market/customers? Do I have MoIs?

4) Do I know the sources? The quality of products? The prices? The lead times? The shipping methods? How can I ensure the right product is delivered at the right time, for the right price?

5) Do I have sufficient funding?

6) Do I have solid business partners? Is my business well-rounded; S&M, Finance, Production, Shipping, QA, Admin. Do I have reliable connections in China which I can easily communicate with, who understand my business & products, who have my best interests, who are very knowledgeable with the local market – who can source, monitor, ship the right product for my price at the right time?

Sales meeting scene from Glengary Glen Ross (NSFW)

2009-10-05T17:21:54-07:00

A hilarious, somewhat disturbing, and truly amazing scene from one of the best films of all time.

Example of kitting in this tool/gear bag with drawers using corrugated plastic

2009-09-27T16:53:58-07:00

Confused by the term kitting? With products and materials like corrugated plastic and foam the custom possibilities for manufacturing and custom kits are endless. This video demonstrates how one company built a storage case utilizing kitting concepts, corrugated plastic, and foam.

Skip to 2:20 to see the corrugated plastic drawer interior!

Company: Hudy Ultimate Proffesional RC Products
Product: HUDY 1/8 Off-Road & Truggy Carrying Bag + Tool Bag – Exclusive Edition
Video: by ztOctavian at YouTube who purchased his Hudy bag from JeSpares.com

This tool and gear carrying bag is an exceptional example of kitting possibilities and uses of custom foam and corrugated plastic.

The drawers in this case are typical open box plastic corrugated design with classy and sturdy handles.

The storage bag shell is lined with protective foam. And it appears as though there is plastic corrugated used to help reinforce the interior of the bag and possibly on the removable tool tray/palette on the top compartment.

NOTE: CoTradeCo had nothing to do with the production of this product or any affiliation with Hudy, but I thought this was such an exceptional example of foam and plastic corruagated applications and kitting I wanted to share it and give them some promotion along the way.

Custom solutions: Kitting and design

CoTradeCo Packaging can help you whether you want to design a whole product line or just need the packaging to ship it, promote it, or display it.

We can build short run kits for your business or hobby club. Any kind of pre-assembled kit or empty storage/transport solution can be devised to fit your exact needs.

I hope this example helps show the possibilities of kitting and custom foam/corrugated plastic solutions.

Colorado Leeds CESR Program: Business Leaders Share Ethical Dilemmas in Leadership Course

2009-09-18T12:42:14-07:00

Donna Sockell, director of the Curriculum Emphasis on Social Responsibility, covers some of the specifics of the program and issues that students confront, and maybe we all should.

Issues like:

Demystifying executives
Handling top performers whose behavior outside of work is questionable, possibly illegal
Board demanding layoffs and how to deal with it as a public company
How to stand up for your own values in the face of opposition within the company

The topics are so poignant and vital that guest executives who participate in the program have often taken presentations made by students back to their companies for further discussion.

See an introduction to the CESR Program in this video

Colorado Leeds CESR Program: Why Talk About Values in Business?

2009-09-18T12:33:44-07:00

Donna Sockell, director of the Curriculum Emphasis on Social Responsibility, discusses the program, the kinds of businesses students want to run, and the kind of business leaders they want to be.

The intention of the program gives all business owners something to think about. Your values shape the very structure and brand of your business, affecting everything your company does, and ultimately how the public will perceive your company. This can not only have serious ramifications for the success of your business, but on society as a whole.

Small groups of students each get a chance to dine with a visiting executive as a way to demystify his or her role as a business leader. The students come away with sharpened presentation and public-speaking skills, as well as insights on the reality of being a business executive. In turn, the visiting executives have the opportunity to reflect on issues they faced which affected their employees, customers and communities. Some executives have even brought the student presentations back to their companies for further discussion.

See this video where Director Donna Sokel goes more in-depth into the program and some of the challenging topics covered.

Leeds Project Fair: Introduction to the program

2009-09-18T12:15:15-07:00

Jim Marlatt, senior instructor at Colorado Leeds school of business , describes the role and purpose of the annual Leeds Project Fair .

Through the Leeds Project Fair Jim Marlatt plays matchmaker, bringing students together with a dozen or more companies with opportunities for the students to showcase their skills.

These are projects that companies may not have enough resources or expertise to address, such as market research, new product development, product promotion, web site design, supply chain audits and process improvement. Sometimes, these projects lead to jobs.

It’s a win-win: students gain practical experience and put to work their business education in a real-world, dynamic setting, while businesses get quality results and a first glance at potential new hires.
