Bob Garlick (Business Book Talk) chats with Gloria Moss about this fascinating subject and delves  into the root causes of the differences between men and women.

“We find out some amazing stuff, including the fact that men don’t see as many colours as women. The research in this book is topnotch and I see this book becoming a standard for anyone who needs to understand the importance of designing for specific demographics. A must-read for marketers, advertisers, HR managers, and even game developers. “

Gloria is the author of Gender, Design and Marketing

“Celebrating our 25 Year Anniversary, the flagship annual BAM Conference is to be hosted by the Aston Business School from the 13th – 15th September 2011. The conference theme is “Building and Sustaining High Performance Organisations in a Challenging Environment”. The 25th Anniversary Celebrations and record paper submissions mean BAM2011 is shaping up to be our most successful conference to date.”

Gower author  Emmanuel Alozie  says television still counts for up to 80% of advertising budgets in nations like Kenya, Nigeria, China, India and Argentina.

“It is still a growth area in these countries, but they are still lacking in terms of expertise and technical abilities,” he said.

“Television is big and with radio it is the dominant form, and I don’t think we’re going to see what we see in the West with the internet.”  His comments can be found in this recent CNN article edition CNN.

Niall Cook (author of Enterprise 2.0 and The Business Marketeer’s Guide to Social Media) has moved to a new company, from Hill and Knowlton. The new consultancy is called Sociagility and, as the name suggests, their work is designed to enable organizations to become socially agile. I have a natural reticence towards neologisms [new, created words] but in this case, I am confident that the concept of social agility will garner both corporate interest and, I suspect, some research interest too. The fact that the new company includes Niall along with Tony Burgess-Webb already lends credence to this new perspective.
