thank you for inviting us here to speak
Steve: introduce tags that meet more products to be tagged (introduce new tags that can secure previously "hard-to-tag" items)
I) CURRENT PRODUCT IMPROVEMENTS:
General Product Improvements:
- Pedestals: transparent aesthetic trend, maximize entrance space,
maximize open merchandising area (close to the pedestals), alarm sound needs to be louder because of street noise
- Labels: competitive pricing to Mainland labels RMBXX, reusable labels, not identifiable by thieves
- Loop Tags?: not easily cut (milk powder, wine) or alarms when cut
- Detacher: mobile, yet cannot be easily taken away (photo: taped up detacher),
faster/easier detaching process (video at Da Xin)
- Hardtags: Tag pins that won't destroy products or leave holes,
caters to wider range of products, not identifiable by thieves
=> Recommend modular combination of products for different types of retailers

I do not teach people to design, but how to think
It was the people, not the technology, that made the changes.
Samsung Electronics was transformed from a second-tier OEM maker to an international brand within a few years. This was largely based on a series of revolutionary industrial designs. DigiTimes interviewed Gordon P. Bruce, former chairman of product design for the Innovative Design Lab of Samsung (IDS), to talk about his experiences in the industry-leading corporation.
Q: Can you briefly describe your former role at Samsung?
A: Basically, I do not teach people to design, but how to think. South Korean people differ from Westerners in many facets. They are good at learning things from books. In fact, Seoul, the capital of South Korea, has the highest proportion of PhDs in the world. However, if you ask a South Korean what kind of person he is, chances are that he would not be able to answer the question. That is what sets knowledge and wisdom apart. Wisdom, which comes from self-reflection, is what you need for innovation.
Q: Recently, many Taiwanese have become highly interested in Samsung’s success. Can you talk about Samsung’s transformation?
A: To be frank, I used to have the impression that all Samsung products were trash. However, I think Samsung’s current products are the best in the industry. It was the people, not the technology, that made the changes.

- 中国企业R＆D支出：500大企业只占销售收入的1.05％
- 国际上公认企业研发费用不低于销售额4％
中国企业：广告上支出= R＆D 数倍我
在吃喝玩乐上的花费远远高于我们在职工的培训和教育上的花费
值得我们企业、企业家真正去思考的问题。

7) Build case vs. RF (Steve)
- Customers did not understand several tech issues (e.g., benefits of AM vs. RF)
- Photos of RF pedestals clogging the entrances (vs. AM pedestals that do not block entrances)
- Discontent with RF users about how they can't label chocolate (foil), shampoo, liquid

- Many people in Sensormatic/Tyco believe that strategy should be => offer low-cost product (Steve)
- Sensormatic know they need to focus on Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities (Steve)
- Recommendations should assume Sensormatic planning on new product lines in 6-9 months (Steve)
