One exception from this was Spain, which now facing a record unemployment rate of 20% has imposed restrictions for the Romanians and Bulgarians. In spring The Netherlands government wanted to impose even more restrictions for the season laborers from Eastern Europe. Again, it’s a case of “honey I love you but….” Let’s see why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;First, the argument that these restrictions actually protect the local population’s jobs is false because for any reasonable human being to fight unemployment by keeping away the people that want to work makes no sense. As long as the jobs that the non-natives get are legal, it means that they get at least the minimum salary according to the local legislation, meaning that no-one stopped a local from taking that job for the same salary as the non-local.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, the fact that one is a foreigner in a country does not necessarily give an advantage. I don’t really imagine a job that has as requirements to not speak the local language (or speak it badly), to be at least 1500 km away from home, to be separated from your family and to live in poor conditions (as most migrant workers do).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand the legal migrant workers bring a lot of advantages to the host country. For example they consume in that country, they pay taxes to the host country’s budget and, why not, they bring some cultural richness. Also because in many cases they get the jobs that the locals don’t want for some salaries that the locals consider to be offending, the migrant workers are a source for lower costs for companies in the host country which can translate in smaller prices for the local consumers or / and higher profits for the companies that employed them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;But, of course, it’s easier to say “the foreigners are bad and they are the source of our problems… there is nothing wrong with us”. Well, when you get 20% unemployment rate and moreover there is a long history of high unemployment, then for sure there is something wrong with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that no politician will say: “get off your asses, you’re out of the social welfare or unemployment aid” because they will lose votes, whereas the migrants that actually want to work don’t have the right &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to vote. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-3955132188232901186?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/feeds/3955132188232901186/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30378549&amp;postID=3955132188232901186' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3955132188232901186'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3955132188232901186'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/10/honey-i-love-you-but-part-ii-working_23.html' title='Honey I love you, but… - Part II Working restrictions'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2805418435546039029</id><published>2011-10-12T20:54:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-12T20:58:40.719+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Honey I love you, but… or some of the EU Hypocrisy – Part One: The National Debts Issue</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;In recent months I’ve noticed many examples of hypocrisy in our beloved EU concerning many issues, but mainly on the financial problems of some EU member states, Greece having the un-honor of being the one that got most of the publicity and on the non-acceptance of Romania and Bulgaria in the Schengen agreement (our friends the Finish and Dutch governments said no). Also today I’ve heard on the news that Slovakia rejected the Euro-zone agreement on increasing the funds available as aid for the member countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Well, let’s imagine the EU as a big family in which there are bilateral relationships that are better or worse, but the family stays together because it is in everyone’s best interest to do so, even if they don’t admit it publicly. Of course in this family the members are not equal, although everybody pretends that they are, at least when in public. There are the two seniors, the smaller brothers and of course the cousins and some distant cousins from the country-side who are weaker, but extremely useful. And in such a family from time to time one member says to another: “you’re family and I love you, but…”.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;et’s talk more to the concrete side: Portugal, Ireland and Greece have some serious problems in financing their national debts. Since they use the Euro if one of them (or any other Euro-zone member state) will be unable to pay their debts the whole Euro zone will suffer… so the bigger and richer family members came to their aid… or at least pretended to do so. I will not enter into to many details on how those debts came to be, but let’s just say that the countries in question are not the only one responsible.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;hy all the big fuss about these debts and especially about the big favor that the richer countries promised? Well, yes, the countries in question need the help, but the helpers will not just give money away and they don’t. In fact there is a power game concerning many hundreds of billions of euros in which the ones that have the money want to earn the most. How is that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;First, one huge hypocrisy is the impression that the helpers actually give money to the countries with problems. NO! In fact the richer ones give loans to the needy ones and every Euro that is lended comes with an interest rate… so eventually the helped ones will actually pay a price to the helpers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Second, the governments that lend money impose certain conditions to the beneficiaries. Some might say that it’s normal because the creditors want to make sure they get their money back. On the other side these conditions have other favorable effects for the creditors. The first one is that overall they actually decrease even more the competitively of the “helped” economies in comparison with the helpers. This might be argued, but in a world with fewer resources the competitive advantage counts even more than in an expanding world. The second one are the privatizations of state owned companies, institutions and selling some of the state owned properties such as real estate. What should be considered here is that in order for something to be sold, someone must buy, and the big question is who is going to buy and at what price. Regarding the price we can be sure that it’s not going to be a huge one since when in need anyone will sell cheaper. Regarding the buyers, I’m not very confident that the investment fund from Burkina Faso will come to acquire Greek or Portuguese companies, rather the big corporations from the richer countries in the EU will do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;In the long run, who actually wins?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;But if it’s in the favor of the “big brothers”, why don’t they just help the “poor cousins” and get it on with? Again… it’s a power game. The deeper the needy get in need, the more providential and profitable the salvation is. Another very important reason is that in many ways the uncertain and apparently unfavorable situation is in fact in favor of the big ones. Let’s just consider that due to these issues the Euro gets weaker comparing to the USD and to the Asian main currencies. Isn’t this an advantage for the big exporters of Europe (Germany, The Netherlands and France)?. A slightly weaker currency is an advantage for the exporters and a disadvantage of the importers… so Again… &lt;b&gt;who wins?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;After almost endless debates there is finally a project to actually do something to improve the situation. The 18 Euro-zone member states (22 if we count Vatican, Monaco, Andora, San-Marino) decided to increase the funds available for the governments in need. In order to do so the agreement should be ratified by all countries involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Now, today, one country says NO. It is Slovakia, one of the latest adopters of the Euro and a country that has a population half of that of Paris. Why the parliament of Slovakia said NO? Because of some fights in the government coalition and the opposition parties didn’t miss the opportunity. I don’t mean to undermine Slovakia as a legitimate state member of the EU, but due to some petty interests in a small country some really big issues that concern the entire continent are at risk. The opposition parties in Slovakia might get their fair share of seats in the parliament after the elections, but they might come in power when it is already much worse than it is now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Another issue about Slovakia and many other states that form time to time say that they don’t want to participate in a commune effort is that due to the “bigness” of the issue, if one says NO, they get immediate attention. Let’s be honest… many people don’t even know where Slovakia is on the map (nor do they know where are Jordan or Macedonia) and what is the difference between Slovakia and Slovenia (similar with Paraguay and Uruguay).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately we are about 500 million citizens of the EU trapped in a political structure that seems to have been built with the best intentions, but it’s as easy to manage as a horde of wild cats while crossing a river.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Pointing fingers and making stands is very easy. Of course the Geeks and the Portuguese have their faults, of course the government of Ireland sacrificed the state budget to save a bank and now they are in trouble, but these are not the issues. The main issue is if we are together or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;So… Honey, I love you, but… If you say that to your significant other, to your brother or sister, there is only one outcome… and the worst thing in difficult times is to be alone…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I’ll be back soon with the Schengen issue – the second part of this post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2805418435546039029?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/feeds/2805418435546039029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30378549&amp;postID=2805418435546039029' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2805418435546039029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2805418435546039029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/10/honey-i-love-you-but-or-some-of-eu.html' title='Honey I love you, but… or some of the EU Hypocrisy – Part One: The National Debts Issue'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-1484423968486696861</id><published>2011-07-28T14:24:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-28T14:26:38.663+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><title type='text'>Our first picture from the Wedding</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hGyADuU1HVY/TjFVY3dlMkI/AAAAAAAABE8/DDhaIwYNYkg/s1600/DSC00889.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

I even got visits from Iceland, Japan, Switzerland, Australia and many other countries apart from Romania. In the last two months the number of visits that the blog got through googling these words increased (the blog is in the top 3 google results depending on exact combination of words).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Initially I thought that more and more people are looking for ways in which to increase their intelligence or cognitive capacity or whatever you want to call “being smart”. This is not a bad thing, wright? It’s good if more and more people want to be smarter and look for ways of achieving this… or at least it’s a good thing if more and more people realize that they are not smart (enough).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;A few days ago I discovered what could be a much more plausible reason for the increased number of visits to this blog in search of ways to enhance one’s IQ. On the Romanian Radio station that I listen there is a commercial for Vodafone with a famous singer that says that if you buy a smartphone you’ll get smarter “automatically”. I guess that many of the people who ended up on this blog were searching for ways to get smarter without buying a smartphone which is expensive or maybe to get confirmation that owning one would lead to an increase in intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Intelligence is a very important personal trait in social life and everyone (sane) wants to have it at a high level and display it even more. The reason for displaying intelligence is quite simple: everyone wants to have smart friends, smart spouses and IQ is a very good predictor in many things that we generally want to have such as job performance – good salary and successful mating (healthy kids that actually survive and don’t become junkies or end up in jail).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Now there are various ways in which to display intelligence. Some people chose to buy complicated to use products like smartphones, or by getting MBA’s, PhD’s, Master degrees etc. Of course that smartphones and MBAs don’t display just IQ and these aren’t the only ways to show one’s intelligence, but this is not what I want to talk about. Some signals are more or less fake – they signal a trait that it not actually that high. For example one can buy a smartphone and not be very intelligent at all (he or she just stole some money and went directly to the store). Flashing out a brand new High-tech gadget will signal to his or her acquaintances that that person is smart enough to get the money needed and to know how to use the 10.000 features of the gizmo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for those who use false signals, there are much more natural and simpler ways to signal a trait such as intelligence. One of these is conversation. Let’s suppose that our dude that just bought a flashy last generation smartphone with 11.001 features and applications goes on a date with a young lady that was unconsciously attracted to him by the gadget. They go for some drinks, a nice walk etc. He can’t just stand next to her playing with his alleged IQ extension and not say a word. He has to talk to her or at least mimic a decent conversation. Now, talking and communication have been around far longer than electronics and we know how to unconsciously decode these more natural signals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;So our guy that has spent at least 500 Euros on an intelligence showing piece of electronics has to prove in a very ancient way (conversation) that he’s actually smart. If the conversation is at a very low level of intellectual engagement, then he’ll not get a second date. Of course there might be some exceptions such as: the girl is less intelligent than him and she’ll perceive him as better fitted for mating; or the girl just wants a short (rather embarrassing) adventure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-7787576142481810673?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/feeds/7787576142481810673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30378549&amp;postID=7787576142481810673' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7787576142481810673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7787576142481810673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-get-smarter-and-costly-signaling.html' title='How to get smarter … and costly signaling theory.'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-3169287967815571493</id><published>2011-03-21T20:05:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T16:35:30.494+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='About Romania'/><title type='text'>Plastic Money</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;Here’s something that you most likely you didn’t know about Romania:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  &gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Romania is the only country in the Northern Hemisphere that has plastic money and I don’t mean bank cards. The Romanian banknotes (bills) are made out of polymer (aka plastic). The first polymer banknote was introduced in Romania in 1999 with the occasion of the total Sun eclipse. Starting from the early 2000ds the National Bank of Romania gradually replaced the paper (which actually is cotton) bills with plastic ones. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Another thing that you might not know about the Romanian money is that there is no currency unit coin. The national currency of Romania is the Leu (which means lion) and there is no coin with the value of 1 Leu. Instead there is a banknote with that value.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-3169287967815571493?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/feeds/3169287967815571493/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30378549&amp;postID=3169287967815571493' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3169287967815571493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3169287967815571493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/03/plastic-money.html' title='Plastic Money'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-954453448293285118</id><published>2011-03-21T19:55:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T10:36:48.740+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Expert on Stupidity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I think – so my head aces'/><title type='text'>The Professor Bias</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Psychology and its derivatives in various sciences which usually include the term “Behavioral” give a lot of attention to decision making biases… in normal language: why we don’t make the optimal decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;In the very many years of going to school I realized that there is what I call the “Professor Bias”. This means that a professor has the WRONG impression that his or her course is the most important one that students have at a particular time or even in all of their education. Most severe cases of “professor bias” imply that the teacher strongly believes that the students take only his or her course and no other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;This bias leads to an overload for students and that it’s not necessary a problem in itself, but in most cases it leads to an overload with less important, less interesting and even less useful study work. From both my learning experience and teaching experience I know that studying something one doesn’t enjoy or finds it useful leads to only one result: failure. Failure can come in many forms. Some fail by dropping out of school, other by becoming “brain dead” and losing all innate human qualities like creativity and empathy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;The “professor bias”, as most of the other decision making biases, is in most cases unconscious. The people who have it don’t know they do and they see nothing wrong in emphasizing on their course. When students don’t respond in acknowledging that the course is the holy grail of their life, the teachers often get upset and try to force the students to do what he or she thinks it’s right for them. It makes perfect sense, but it’s still wrong. What can be done is not to convince teachers that their course is totally useless or that it might be interesting for only 5% of the students. Educational programs come in packages (more courses together) and there is the key – in managing these packages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Now there may appear the “manager bias” which in my view means that the program manager only looks at the name of the courses and maybe at some of the broad topics covered by a course. This is the beginning of the problem. If one looks at the curriculum presented for an education program everything makes perfect sense. For example if you want to become a researcher (scientist) in business administration of course it makes perfect sense to learn about philosophy of science and research methodology, statistics, management foundations and many others. The problem is when during those courses you find at least half of the content to be uninteresting and un-useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Another side of the professor bias is that a lot of teachers assume that the students are 101% rational and they are there to learn what he or she has to say. Again, it’s nice, but totally wrong. If you give a lecture at 4PM students might have something else on their mind especially if it’s on a Friday. Another example is when one has a heterogeneous audience and teaches something rather specific. When the teacher goes into the “technical” details, for example matrix algebra, the people who don’t understand will just switch off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;This is one aspect of the big conflict between “should” and “do”. What a teacher should J do is to know that every time he or she goes into a classroom he or she has to gain the attention of that audience, even if it’s the 10&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; lecture of the same course. But, as we all know: should is not equal to “actually do”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-954453448293285118?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/feeds/954453448293285118/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30378549&amp;postID=954453448293285118' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/954453448293285118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/954453448293285118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/03/professor-bias_6357.html' title='The Professor Bias'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-4588385212007226805</id><published>2011-02-27T23:18:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-27T23:23:45.798+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='About Romania'/><title type='text'>Music in Kill Bill and Once upon a time in America (Things you don’t know about Romania)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;In the movies Once Upon a Time in America (with Robert de Niro) and Kill Bill (by Quentin Tarantino) part of the musical theme is played by the Romanian pan flute grand master Gheorghe Zamfir.

Here's the first story:&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;After the Independence War in 1877 – 1878 against the Ottoman Empire, in 1881 Romania became a kingdom and Carol I was crowned King Of Romania.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The Story says that the leaders of the political parties and other Romanian leaders of the time came to Carol I (who was of German origin) with a golden crown with precious stones. They offered him the crown saying that he should have this great symbol (the crown) of his power as the king of an independent country.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;At that moment Carol I got really mad and said that the country needs money to recover from the war and continue its development as a modern European country. He didn’t accept the golden crown, told the political leaders to melt it, sell the gold and use the money for the country’s development.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Carol I told the political leaders that if they want to offer him a crown they should take one of the cannons captured during the war, melt it and make a crown out of it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;And so they did. Carol I, the first King of Romania as an independent country was crowned with a steel crown. And all of Romania’s kings that followed Carol I were crowned with the same steel crown.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This Steel Crown is exhibited at the Romanian National History Museum in Bucharest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I believe that all political people, business people and social and religious leaders should learn from King Carol I.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-867634058611225419?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/feeds/867634058611225419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30378549&amp;postID=867634058611225419' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/867634058611225419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/867634058611225419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/02/romanias-crown-of-steel-things-you-dont.html' title='Romania’s Crown of Steel (Things you don&apos;t know about Romania)'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SoBVP2T7dVI/AAAAAAAAA-0/jErx3gMezyo/s72-c/coroana+de+otel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2326874839879428019</id><published>2011-02-21T20:31:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-21T20:32:27.337+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Expert on Stupidity'/><title type='text'>Sculpture and Education</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;The novice, rather unskilled and not very talented sculptor takes a block of stone and tries to transform it in what he or she wants to sculpt.

It’s like all of a sudden everybody in the country is aware that there is a National Lottery (not that the lottery is every week or even twice a week).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;In this media coverage, in certain times, there are street polls where a reporter goes on a street (usually in Bucharest – the capital city) and asks random people (as if people who are on the street at noon are totally random selected) what would they do if they won the lottery? What would they do if they had a million euros (or two or three etc.). What’s really interesting is that all the people that are interviewed (or at least the ones that are shown on TV) somehow manage to give a pretty reasonable answer. Most of them say that they would buy a nice house (and trust me housing is not cheap in Romania’s big cities), they would buy a nice car (oh we have a thing for expensive “show off” cars) or, the older respondents, that they would help their children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Taking into account most of the social and economic factors of the Romanian reality all of these are reasonable answers. After all, who would not help their children if they had a lot of money on their hands? Or who would not like to have a nice house and an “image” car to drive on a crappy road?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;What’s really puzzling is that I’ve never seen a street interview session on the topic “What would you do to earn one million euros?”. I guess that’s not a very appealing topic for most of the TV audience, but also I think that the huge majority of respondents would have a big problem in answering the question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Let’s take into account that (hypothetically) having one million euros is more valuable than gaining one million euros (that you don’t have) due to lose aversion. Let’s suppose that we have to take into account a discount factor of 50%. But even so, I haven’t seen a street interview on the topic “What would you do to earn 500.000 euros?”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;The answer is quite simple and is related to cognitive effort. Rank on a scale from 1 to 5 how easy is for you to think (1 really easy and 5 very difficult) about how to spend one million euros. Now rank how easy is to think of how to earn the same sum (or half of it). If you are a normal person you would need a lot less (or significantly less at a p-value &lt; .001 – researchers know why) cognitive effort (aka. Thinking) to conceive how to spend one million euros than how to earn it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Thinking (imagining) how to earn half a million euros simply requires too much (intellectual) effort. Many people can’t even come up with one reasonable idea that doesn’t imply robbing a bank or something similar and soon give up with the legendary “I can’t”. On the other hand thinking how to spend one (half a) million euros is much easier. I have a saying that “when you have money to spend, for sure someone will volunteer to help you”. It’s infinitely easier to dream on spending a million euros than it is to conceive a plan to earn that sum of money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Now… what can be done? The lottery in any country wants the media attention because if the prize is large so is the number of players which can only mean larger profits for the lottery. What we can do is to try and imagine (think about) how to earn 100.000 euros (1/10 million euros) in the next 3 years. Of course it’s not as glamorous as dreaming of spending 1 million in 1 month and hallucinate that money will last forever. On the other hand it’s much more realistic. What we can do even further is to imagine how to spend 11.000 euros next year in staid of 12.000 and in the same time put 3000 in our savings account. If you do so, for sure you’ll not be on TV the next time the lottery hits the 1 million value, but it’s much more likely that you’ll get more peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-3160910327301707861?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/feeds/3160910327301707861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30378549&amp;postID=3160910327301707861' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3160910327301707861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3160910327301707861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-romania-from-time-to-time-national.html' title='What would you do with a million dollars (euros) ?'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2625552210052516072</id><published>2011-02-05T13:09:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-08T01:23:48.305+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Expert on Stupidity'/><title type='text'>Expert on Stupidity</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;When Cornelia and I moved to Rotterdam we rented an apartment that was unfurnished. We brought from Romania an inflatable mattress which we used as a bed for a couple of weeks. We bought some furniture in the first days of our staying here, but we didn’t find a bed. Finally we found one at a second hand furniture store and we bought it, but it had no mattress, so we had to find one that was comfortable enough (I have some problems with my back so I need a good mattress) and at a price that we could afford.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;In the spring of 2010 I bought a mattress in Bucharest and I knew what to look for. Also, by having this experience I knew that it was not easy to find something good at a reasonable price. Some mattresses cost around 1000 euros. Anyhow, I had some experience in buying furniture and especially mattresses and I comforted Cornelia who was a little scared of the process of finding something that is ok and we have to use for the next 2 years (at least) and is very important for one’s overall well-being. She could rely on me. Now I confess that I was pretty much in her situation, but I just didn’t show it, not to scare her more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;We found a mattress store really close to where we live in Rotterdam. We went there and looked around. The salesman asked us if we were interested in something particular and we said that we are looking for a mattress with the dimensions of … and a maximum price. The gentleman showed us one and invited Cornelia to try it. She said that I should try it because “I’m the expert” (I told you that I had some experience, but for sure I’m not an expert).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The salesman replied: “Miss, we are all experts in sleep. We all do it every day for eight hours all our lives.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The truth is that he’s right. We all have a tremendous amount of experience and practice with sleeping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Then I wandered if there aren’t other things in which we are all experts in. A quick and easy answer is related to other things that we do on a daily basis and are linked to our primary biological needs. But this is not interesting. Of course we take for granted that we do some things every day and we get better at doing them, but using the toilet or showering (I hope that most of my readers shower on a daily basis) aren’t interesting fields.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;A less easy, but nonetheless true, answer is stupidity. We all do stupid things. Even the smartest people do things that are less rational, sub-optimal or plainly stupid. Doing stupid things doesn’t necessarily imply that the person who does them is stupid. The other way around we can say that not everything that a stupid person does is necessarily stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;There is a lot of literature on irrational or less-rational behavior that is extremely interesting (at least for me), but to understand the fact that people generally do stupid things one only has to look around and start using the frontal-left part of his or her brain (the area responsible for reasoning). Of course, other people do stupid things on a regular basis. You and I are not doing such dumb things. Most people say: “I’m too smart to do that. It’s the others who do them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Even this very line of reasoning is not that rational. Everyone thinks of his or her self being above average, being a smart person, a good driver, a good lover etc. And in most of the times it’s really good that we think like that. Who would want to think bad about him(her) self and be depressed all the time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;But in the same time, we have to realize that it is not always so. We are not “above average” lovers, drivers, cooks etc. We have to realize that each of us does, more or less often, stupid things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;We have to admit that we are all experts on stupidity, even if we aren’t always aware of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Shout it out loud! “I’m an expert on stupidity!!!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2625552210052516072?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2625552210052516072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2625552210052516072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/02/expert-on-stupidity.html' title='Expert on Stupidity'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-5297711642346884895</id><published>2011-02-01T19:01:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-01T19:03:34.304+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I think – so my head aces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><title type='text'>Chinese Clustering – Follow-up</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I usually don’t write follow-ups, but this is too good not to be written. Yesterday late at night I published the post on how clustering occurs in groups with the example of the Chinese clustering in the courses that I take at ERIM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Today one Chinese colleague, let’s call him G, changed his usual behavior (I believe reading the post had something to do with it) and in the amphitheater changed his usual place. He was first to come into the class room and I was the third so I was able to observe. As I love experiments, well I just sat back and watched how the colleagues take their places in the room. I had about 15 minutes of observation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The first thing I noticed is that the first Chinese colleague that came into the classroom went directly to G and talked a little, afterword taking a sit in the row in front of him. Next the PhD students came and they all kept their usual places forming the PhD sector on the right side of the amphitheater (G was on the left side and I was in the middle). Next another Chinese colleague came in and was a little disorientated that her usual entourage wasn’t where they used to be. She decided to sit on the left side of the room two rows in front of G and one row in front of the other Asian colleague that came before her. Next one Dutch colleague that usually sits on the left side (I told you that people are coherent with their previous behavior) is confused for a second to see the Chinese there, but he takes a sit next to one of our Chinese colleagues. The Chinese PhD student was also coherent with his previous behavior and sat on the right side in the PhD sector. One Chinese student was absent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Up to now all of our Asian friends were coherent with their previous behavior – the PhD student was in his previous group and the master students from China kept clustering even if they changed the sector of clustering. Then the professor came into the classroom and next another Chinese colleague came in. Now let’s see what happened: she looked at the center side (where the Chinese sat before this week), then looked after them and saw them on the left side, but… she broke the cluster and sat in the center. Two minutes after the course started another Chinese colleague came. Being late she took the first seat next to the door (ironically the person next to her was the Chinese PhD student).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Most interesting is that none of the two colleagues that were late didn’t change her place during the brake to join the cluster. Another interesting thing is that other European colleagues that sat on the left side of the room were also coherent with the previous behavior and, thus, they mixed with the Chinese cluster.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-5297711642346884895?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/5297711642346884895'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/5297711642346884895'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/02/chinese-clustering-follow-up.html' title='Chinese Clustering – Follow-up'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-748603583253385810</id><published>2011-01-31T21:12:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-31T21:14:30.416+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>Chinese clustering</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Why do people hang out together? Why do they sit next to each-other?&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;The Chinese might give us the answer. In the master program that I am in we are quite few students and about a quarter are Chinese. In most courses there are only the six Chinese colleagues from the master program and in one course there is another Chinese student which is a PhD student I guess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I realized that the Chinese always manage to cluster and sit next to each-other in class or, in really bad scenarios they form two groups. In the brakes the same thing occurs. The Chinese stay together in one group and the other students… well mingle around, usually without entering the Chinese circle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;This might sound like a racist conspiracy or some really impolite remarks from someone that is not very sociable. Well, it’s neither of the two. What’s happening is a normal psychological phenomenon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;One well known fact is that we tend to prefer things that we’ve already know, that are familiar to us. Another fact is that we tend to like the people that are similar to us. Obviously we tend to do things that we like, like sitting next to a person that we like rather than one that we don’t like. We prefer to talk to people that are similar to us because the hallow effect gives us the impression that we share more than just looks. We think that we share common interests and values. It is not always so, but at least till we realize that it is not so. Another criterion that relationships form is common interests or habits. Have you ever realized that smokers tend to hang out together?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;It’s obvious that race is a very salient characteristic, so it’s no wonder why the Chinese tend to hang around together. But as I said before, in one course there is another Chinese colleague that is a PhD student. He is not hanging around with the other Chinese and doesn’t sit with the Chinese group. Why? A first answer is that the group from the master was already formed when the course started. But this raises another question: why doesn’t he join the group now if it is a Chinese group and he is also Chinese? Well, because it’s not necessarily a Chinese group (although it is formed only of Chinese).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Now let’s talk about something else called random coherence. It sounds like an oxymoron, but it means that we are coherent in our behavior to some thing that was at first more or less random. Let’s say that on the introduction day there were two separate groups – the research master group and the PhD students group and in each group the people get somehow acquainted. The two groups collide in a course that takes place one week after the introduction day. What do you think it’s going to happened? What has happened is that in the classroom PhD students stood on one side and master students stood on the other side. The next week the same arrangement is in place. Same goes on for the next week. What happens in these weeks is that ties are formed between the members of each of the two groups. Friendships begin inside the groups, but very little contact is made between the groups. All of this is mostly due to a random thing – on which introduction day each was on. People believe that their behavior is coherent to something important, but in fact it’s coherent with something random.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Coming back to the seventh Chinese (the PhD student) we can say that he’s totally coherent. He sticks with the phd students group and keeps the relationships with the people who he already knows even if they are not Chinese and there are other Chinese in the room that he doesn’t know priory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;This is a brief explanation of the clustering process with a case study on Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; line-height: 17px; "&gt;Now who gains and who loses? The answer for both questions is everybody. The Chinese (in our case) gain because they get the psychological comfort of being part of a group that is homogenous in many aspects. The other students gain because they get a similar comfort in other clusters. Now everybody loses because one of the main advantages of being in an international environment is the opportunity of interacting with people from other cultures. In our case the Chinese lose the most because the other students get to interact with each other and they are heterogeneous, while the Chinese interact most among themselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-748603583253385810?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/748603583253385810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/748603583253385810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/01/chinese-clustering.html' title='Chinese clustering'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2540086531834023843</id><published>2011-01-14T09:50:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-14T09:53:42.892+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I think – so my head hurts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>What do grades measure</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;The whole school system around the world is dominated by grades. The pupils and students strive to get grades as high as possible (because they need them to get into another school, to make an impression on a potential employee, please the parents etc.). On the other hand educators try to make the grading system as strict and accurate as possible. Corporations or corporation-like NGOs developed world wide accepted standardized tests that are considered to measure all sort of things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Grades are, in theory, meant to measure the degree to which a student knows the things related to a subject and has the competences required by the subject. Now we can discuss if a grading system captures all the important dimensions of knowledge and skills in a particular field. In my opinion most of them don’t, but that’s not what I want to discuss now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Let’s talk a little about knowledge and skills. Possessing Knowledge in a certain subject means to store in your memory information on that subject. To the day there are debates if we actually forget (ie. Information is deleted or lost from the brain) or can’t remember (ie. The information is still in the brain, but we can’t retrieve it any more). This doesn’t really matter now because the main idea is that with time we can’t access information that was acquired a long time ago. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;There is a solution for (better) remembering: the information must be retrieved frequently making the link to the information in the brain stronger. With skills things are not exactly the same, but there is some similarity: one can lose some skills over time or lose some of the accuracy of performing a certain task if they are not practiced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Coming back to grades and school. In my opinion schooling should have the goal of teaching - giving knowledge and skills - young people that will be useful in adult life. Now going back to the earlier paragraph about memory, how much of the knowledge acquired from school do we actually remember when we finished school? Not much would be my answer. How much do we remember 10 years after finishing school? Very little. On the other hand, we carry our grades (from kindergarten to master degree) all our lives and in many cases they receive a rather high importance. Imagine the situation that you have finished high-school or university (college) studies a few years ago (5-10 years) and you decide to make a change in your life and continue your studies and go to college or get a master degree. That makes perfect sense for many people that didn’t have many opportunities in their early years. Even in this situation the institution that you’ll apply at will use grades as a measure for your capabilities. Does it make any sense?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;The answer is yes and no. If we want to measure any kind of possessing knowledge using grades it makes absolutely no sense. Most of the knowledge acquired during school is lost (or we can’t retrieve it). Remember how students study for exams and read hundreds of pages, take the exam, get a high grade and 3 weeks later can’t remember even half of what they read; 3 months later they might remember some general ideas. So it really makes no sense to measure knowledge using grades.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;So what is the reason we use grades? What do grades tell us? Well, they tell us how hard working is (was) that person. We can all agree that there is a direct relationship between the amount of hard work (study) and the level of grades (that is if cheating is eliminated). Another thing that I believe that grades measure is the level of conformity to social norms. If someone has high grades means that s/he wants to be well seen in society. This is only a speculation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;School should teach young people to work hard and that this is the “solid” way to a good life (although no guarantees are given).  Teaching this is very important for any society. But, to be honest why should anyone spend 10-16 years in various education institutions (schools) only to learn hard work. This can be learned working on a farm or on a ship or somewhere else? I’m not saying that people shouldn’t go to school. On the contrary! But why the only metric thing we have when we leave school is a sheet of paper with some figures on it that should tell (at least to a certain degree) how “good” we are?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I’m not against grades per se. Grades and scores have the big advantage of being metric (1 is smaller than 2 and we know what the difference between 1 and 2 is). What I say is that schools are using a wrong measure, if their goal is to teach. Also there is too much focus on getting high grades and scores for standardized tests and very little focus on actually learning and teaching useful things in a way that will ensure a higher retention rate in later years. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Many schools and universities are very proud on what they teach that professors are top researchers, on their strict and exclusive admision criteria etc. At least from my experience most of them should not be proud on how they teach. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2540086531834023843?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2540086531834023843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2540086531834023843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2011/01/what-do-grades-measure.html' title='What do grades measure'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2757974523413788620</id><published>2010-12-06T13:12:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-06T13:17:19.415+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><title type='text'>Proud to be Romanian</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Although there are hundreds of reasons for not being proud of belonging to the Romanian people (and we Romanians excel in finding them), there are things that make me proud about my country and my people.

There are many things in the Romanian history that make me feel not proud or even ashamed, but overall we have to be proud that the Romanians played their role in many important historical moments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;9.&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;I am proud of our overall openness and friendliness towards foreigners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;10.&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;I am proud that Romania had a Royal dynasty that understood that the country needs resources to develop and thus, after the independence, the Romanian kings reigned with a crown made of steel instead of gold. Too bad that the leaders that followed after WW II didn’t have the same attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;11.&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;I am proud that Romanian citizens of any ethnic origin, overall, live in peace and harmony and in Romania there are 18 ethnic minorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;12.&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;I am proud of the Romanian movies and movie makers. In the last years Romanian movies wan many prizes at film festivals, including the Palm d’Or for “Four months, three weeks and two days”. Also during the communist regime the Romanian director Sergiu Nicolaescu made superb movies that were blocked from going out to the west. Last year, one of his movies – Michael the Brave – was ranked the third best historical movie of all times worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;13.&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;I am proud that even if Romania is a rather small and poor country we had top scientists and artists like Eugene Ionesco (drama writer), Constantin Brancusi (sculptor), Petrache Poenaru (the inventor of the fountain pen), Nicolae Paulescu (inventor of the insulin) George Enescu (composer and violinist), Henri Coanda (inventor of the jet engine), Mircea Eliade (philosopher, writer and the author of the first complete history of religions) and many others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;14.&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;I am proud that Romania gave the sports world many athletes that had a saying in sport’s history. The most known one is Nadia Comaneci that “invented” the perfect 10 in women’s gymnastics. Others are Helmut Duckadam the first goal keeper that defended four consecutives penalty kicks in a football game. His performance brought the European Champions Cup to Bucharest; Leonard Doroftei, Mihai Leu and Lucian Bute all of them world champions in professional boxing, &lt;span lang="RO"&gt;Ștefan Kovács the Romanian football coach that wan the European Champions Cup with Ajax Amsterdam, Mircea Lucescu that wan the UEFA Cup and the Super Cup of Europe with the Ucranian team Sahtior. Also, not to forget the Romanian feminin gimnastics team that ruled the world championships and olimpics for many years and the handball team „Oltchim” that is a big power in european handball competitions. There are many others that deserve to be mentioned...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;15.&lt;span style="font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;"&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="RO"&gt;Last, but not least, I am proud of the Romanian humor. We make jokes and lough at anything, even at bad things. It’s our way of dealing with things. Many people don’t understand our humor, but we love it. Imagine only that Romania has the only Happy Cemitery in the world and you will start to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Now… I ask my fellow Romanians to write on their blogs, post on their facebook accounts and on tweeter or anywhere why they are proud to be Romanians. Multumesc (Thank you).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2757974523413788620?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2757974523413788620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2757974523413788620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/12/proud-to-be-romanian.html' title='Proud to be Romanian'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-8687254809230846240</id><published>2010-11-10T23:02:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-10T23:05:40.445+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I think – so my head aces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>I have a dream about knowledge and a better society …</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I have a dream of a better human society. A lot of people have that and that’s great! My dream is about a better society in which human brain and body capacities are used at a higher level in a responsible way. I believe that the way to get there is through education… I don’t mean a better education than it is now, I mean a different education approach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;One may wonder why I chose business administration (especially marketing) as my field if I have such idealistic dreams. The answer is simple: because businesses have a huge impact on people’s lives -  as consumers, as employees or as owners. Business is as important to spreading “good” into society as blood is for spreading a medicine into a body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;I believe that the key to a better business environment is the understanding of basic human actions and motivations. Science has yielded already a lot of knowledge on how basic human functions can be used to enhance the outcome of businesses. I suggest that this knowledge can be used the other way around – to use these findings for the best of consumers without damaging businesses’ benefits in the long term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I believe that knowledge is truly useful when it is in the hands (brains) of the people who can actually do good for others by using it. Yet most of the (formal) knowledge is not where it is needed. I have of dream of helping to get that knowledge where it is needed and to present (share) it in a way that will increase the chances of its responsible use.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-8687254809230846240?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8687254809230846240'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8687254809230846240'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-have-dream-about-knowledge-and-better.html' title='I have a dream about knowledge and a better society …'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-6429725191942751973</id><published>2010-11-07T17:18:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-07T17:20:56.284+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pentru Progres :))'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='I think – so my head aces'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>Cattle management for wild cats or a critique analysis of my experience at Erasmus University</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;When I decided to apply for a research master (Mphil) at Erasmus University I had my hopes up. My hopes weren’t related only to the curriculum itself, but also to the philosophy of life and work. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I truly hoped that at Erasmus University I will find and have the things I lacked of in my home country and in the way things are there. I hoped for respect and appreciation of what I know, what I can do and the things I could do in the right context and with some motivation. I hoped to not get the things I was fed up of like amateurism, carelessness, lack of interest and an obsession for compliance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now I can’t say that what I found here is in total opposition to what I wished for, but for sure what I have now is not what I’ve expected. There are good things, but some of the things I ran away from are present here also.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The main problem that I see is the appliance of Cattle management where there are no cows. At least in theory a master program, especially one that is very select and is supposed to train future researchers in business administration, is supposed to unleash the potential in the students. Each of the students in the Mphil is really smart and hard working. And all of them were full of hope (14 out of 16 are non-Dutch). They left their families, friends, homes and countries in order to achieve something great. All of them had to take very difficult exams and fill in endless applications.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This is not the profile of a “cow”. This is most likely the profile of a “wild cat”. It is a pity that most of the things I found here are designed for cattle management and not for wild cat management.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As far as I see now, the focus is on complying and not on engaging. The program is designed so that students comply with the demands and act like someone expects them to do. I think this is totally wrong. This kind of people are not “designed”  to simply comply without thinking (even if many of them come from countries with dictatorships – Iran and China). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Why is there no focus on engaging them (us) into learning? That’s why we came here, to learn and to become one of the best trained professionals. And no one lacks internal motivation. Let’s be serious … people who left everything behind are intrinsically motivated. There is almost no external motivation. Sometimes there is a lot of demotivation widely available. And the grading system is just a “carrot and stick” system that has been proven to be ineffective in highly creative tasks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;People like this are motivated by autonomy, mastering, purpose and role models. I don’t see too much of that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;What I see is a lot of carelessness – some professors could depress a bride on her wedding day, a lot of work meant to keep people busy so that they have no time to think too much and the show of power and its abuse – “although it’s of no use, you have to do this because I say so” . These are meant to make people comply and not engage.

In The Netherlands a student should get a minimum grade of 5.5 (out of 10).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;From the point of view of the minimum grade needed to pass an exam, the two systems are similar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The big difference comes from what a minimum grade (5 or 5.5) means. In Romania in most cases (not all, but most) if a student gets a 5 it means that s/he is not totally stupid and incompetent. In The Netherlands if a student gets a 5.5 it means that s/he has the minimum knowledge and skills related to the subject of the exam.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;On the other hand getting a grade of 9 or 10 in the Romanian system is not very difficult (not a piece of cake, but it doesn’t require hundreds of hours of work). In The Netherlands, getting a grade of 9 or 10 is very difficult (10 is extremely rare) and requires a lot of work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Well, these are minor differences between two education systems. Yet these differences have enormous consequences in what is the result of education and I don’t mean only the knowledge and skills, but rather social implications.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In Romania a child or a teenager is taught that in order to just get by (pass an exam) there is no need for hard work. Also s/he learns that being very good or perfect (9 or 10) is rather easy and all that is required is a few extra hours of work. Also, by easily giving high grades the teachers tell students that they should strive for the maximum grade possible and that being normal (getting a grade of 7) is wrong.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In The Netherlands children and teenagers learn that in order to even get by (pass an exam) they need to work quite hard (not very hard, but hard enough). They also learn that in order to reach high standards (grades of 8, 9 and 10) one must study and work very hard. Also they know that getting an average grade (6 or 7) is not bad, it’s normal and they should not be ashamed of it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now, you judge which system better prepares children for the life in a civilized and reasonable society.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-1030142677078380451?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/1030142677078380451'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/1030142677078380451'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/10/just-passing-exam-differences-between.html' title='Just passing an exam – differences between the Dutch and Romanian approach'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-1867087625915570781</id><published>2010-10-04T10:50:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-04T11:03:27.908+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marketing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pentru Progres :))'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><title type='text'>After a lot of team work...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;After a lot of team work we finished our assignment for Consumer Behavior.

Here you can bike anywhere in or out of the city. There even are bicycle lanes close to the motorways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;But why do the Dutch bike so much?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;One answer could be that the Dutch are really civilized people, that they care about the environment, that they want to keep themselves healthy etc. Well, all of these are good reasons why the Dutch bike so much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;But, in my opinion, these are not the only and even the main reasons. Here is what I think is the explanation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;First. There are a lot of bicycle lanes (at least in Rotterdam, but I’m sure it’s the same in other places). This creates the (infrastructure) premises for developing a behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Second. Related to the richness in bicycle lanes, where there aren’t bicycle lanes the drivers Respect the bikers. No one is blowing the horn or does anything aggressive towards the people that bike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Third. If you want to go by car you have some problems: a liter of gas is 1.45 – 1.55 Euros; parking in the center of Rotterdam is 3 euros per hour and in other areas it decreases to 1.5 Euros per hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Fourth. Going by public transportation could be quite expensive- at least one euro or up to 5-7 euros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Fifth. Going by car o by tram (in Rotterdam) takes longer than biking on the same way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Sixth. (Thanks Dad for reminding me) The Netherlands is a flat country. There is only one hill. So going by bike doesent requier a lot of effort.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;So the care for the environment and for one’s own health could be good reasons to bike, but I believe that they are not the main ones.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-8487703324105961344?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8487703324105961344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8487703324105961344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/09/why-do-dutch-bike-so-much.html' title='Why do the Dutch bike so much'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-8419947591583067817</id><published>2010-09-15T20:02:00.009+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T12:28:24.986+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>What I have accomplished in the 28th year of my life</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Today is the last day of my 28&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt; year. These are the last hours when I’ll ever be 27.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Well, I can say that 27 (3 at the 3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;rd&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt; power) was a good age, a year of grate change. A little before turning 27 I’ve decided to make a big change in my life – going back to school at a world class university and preparing for an academic career. At the beginning I had only a blind faith and a lot of desperation, but that actually helped. Soon after I turned 27 I took the TOEFL. It was a success (111 out of 120). Then came the GMAT… that was a lot harder than I expected, but after a lot of hard work and banging my head on the walls (literally) it was a success …&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Well after that I restarted my (small) business. It was a short revival, but still it worked for some months.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;In the same time I applied for different study programs at foreign universities. A lot of paper (or digital paper) work. Well, again it was a success considering that I got admitted at my second option program at my first option university.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;After this luck struck! I met the most wonderful woman (for me of course). To make a long story short, we moved together to The Netherlands and we have a wonderful relationship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;After that again a lot of paperwork for my application to the “Opened Horizons” scholarship. It also was a success.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Now I am in The Netherlands for almost a month. Things are not super glamorous, but they are all right.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;I can say that 27 was a good age for me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;For this I also have to thank some important people. First I have to thank my parents and my close family for supporting me in this radical journey. Then I have to thank C. (my former girlfriend) for standing by me and supporting me through a very difficult period of my life (26 and half of 27). I also have to thank all of my (true) friends that in one way or the other had trust in me and helped me each in his or her own way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Last, but not least, I have to thank Cornelia (my girfriend) for all that she is. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I hope that 28 will be at least as good as 27 and I wish you all to be healthy, lucky and hard working.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-8419947591583067817?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8419947591583067817'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8419947591583067817'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/09/what-i-have-accomplished-in-27th-year.html' title='What I have accomplished in the 28th year of my life'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-7878937483590104540</id><published>2010-09-13T08:52:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-13T09:09:23.818+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><title type='text'>Cum e la facultate in Olanda</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Dupa prima saptamana de cursuri m-am hotarat sa povestesc putin despre cum e la facultate aici in Olanda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Noi aveam asteptari mari, chiar foarte mari in cazul meu. Totusi ceea ce am gasit aici nu a corespuns vagii noastre imagini despre facultatea in Olanda. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Ceea ce ne-a surprins pe amandoi este nivelul studentilor in general. Eu unul ma asteptam la mai mult. Acum nu vorbesc strict de ceilalti 14 colegi de la masterul de cercetare, ci mai degraba la cei 200+ de colegi de la Master of science  in marketing management alaturi de care am cateva cursuri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Acum comparativ cu atitudinea studentilor romani de la ASE din anii 2001 - 2005 cand am facut eu facultatea, cei din Olanda par a fi mai seriosi, dar nu cu mult mai mult.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Aici nu se chiuleste... sau nu masiv. La cursurile pe care le am cu cei de la MSc sunt sali pline si se sta inclusiv pe trepte sau chiar direct pe jos pentru ca sunt foarte multi studenti si vin la cursuri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Profesorii... cei de aici au tot un singur cap ca si cei din Romania... Pana acum nu am cunoscut foarte multi, dar cei pe care i-am intalnit imi par foarte profesionisti si seriosi. Aici la Universitatea Erasmus se pare ca totul este bazat pe seriozitate si lucrurile par a fi asezate. Nimeni nu face exceptii, nimeni nu judeca dupa toana in care se afla si pe scurt regula e regula.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Am fost intrebat de o amica a mea - studenta in Romania - daca si aici se copiaza "la greu". Sa spunem ca din prima zi la toate masterele s-a comunicat clar: Plagiere (si nu copiere la examen) = exmatriculare. La unele programe s-a spus de mai multe ori in ziua introductiva, la mine ni s-a spus o singura data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Calitatea cursurilor. Din cele 3 cursuri pe care le-am avut pana acum cel mai mult imi place "Consumer Behavior" aka comportamentul consumatorului unde profesorul este un super orator. Face un adevarat show la curs si parca iti intra in cap 3 sferturi din informatie direct de la curs. Daca cursurile domnului Nicolae Teodorescu ar fi avut macar un sfert din "savoarea" celui de aici poate as fi priceput si eu mai multe in anul III...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" &gt;Pe scurt singura mare diferenta dintre experientele cu facultatea din Romania si cea din Olanda este SERIOZITATEA. Atat.... nimic in plus nimic in minus. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-7878937483590104540?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7878937483590104540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7878937483590104540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/09/cum-e-la-facultate-in-olanda.html' title='Cum e la facultate in Olanda'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-165872876055010370</id><published>2010-09-09T09:45:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-09T10:11:10.485+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><title type='text'>Cultural Shocks with my Chinese Colleagues</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;In the Mphill program we are about 15 students out of which about half are Asians and half Europeans. Asia is represented by students from Iran, China (mainland), Hong-Kong, Taiwan and Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Yesterday I had my first two cultural shocks with two of my Chinese colleagues. I have to mention that both of them have just arrived from China and they are for the first time in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The first shock was that I had to explain what a blog is… kind of funny considering that back home in Romania, blogging is almost a second nature for many of the young people.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;The second shock was with another Chinese colleague. The story is a little longer, but it’s worth reading it. I noticed that he was quite shy and afraid not to say something wrong or disrespectful. Since we are both on the marketing track at Mphil and we are doing some assignments together, I felt like explaining a few basic things about European social norms and communication. I don’t know too many things about Chinese culture and social norms, but I know that some of them are almost the opposite of the  European ones. So I told him that here in Europe it’s not disrespectful to ask questions during class, and the social gaps between people are not as big as in China, that it’s ok to speak his mind and say things strait and not to infer, that it’s ok to just ask for help if he needs etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;My dear colleague was listening carefully and was trying to understand the local social norms. He told me that he understands, but still it will take him some time to adapt to this totally new culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;After about an hour we meet at the computer room. He got a coca cola and drank some of it… immediately after he finished drinking he burped loudly, but naturally – not a forced burp. I immediately told him that is not polite to do in Europe. He said that he was sorry and asked me what to do to avoid making these natural sounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Apparently in China it is ok to burp in public, because it is a natural reaction of your body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Well… these are my first two cultural shocks with the Chinese students at Mphil at ERIM. I think that in a few months they will better understand our European culture and will do just fine in the program and in the international community in Rotterdam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-165872876055010370?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/165872876055010370'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/165872876055010370'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/09/cultural-shocks-with-my-chinese.html' title='Cultural Shocks with my Chinese Colleagues'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-8098100055353830364</id><published>2010-09-01T23:43:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-01T23:51:31.482+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Transportul in comun din Rotterdam</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Aici transportul in comun se bazeaza pe tramvaie si metrou. Din experientele noastre, atat tramvaiele cat si metroul vin destul de repede si conexiunile sunt bune. Nici metroul si nici tramvaiele cu care am mers noi nu au fost aglomerate, ce e drept nu am fost cu ele la ore de varf. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ceea ce este socant este pretul pentru transportul in comun. Cu tramvaiul am fost cred ca in total cam 8 statii schimband 2 tramvaie. Pretul unei calatorii cu tramvaiul timp de o ora - in care poti schimba cate tramvaie doresti - este de 2,5 euro... Cu metroul am mers 5 statii dus si 6 intors pentru care am platit 4,9 euro de persoana...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ne-am gandit la varianta unui abonament lunar, iar pretul pentru zona centrala a Rotterdamului este de 42,5 euro pentru un abonament. Spun zona centrala pentru ca aici metroul conecteaza si doua dintre orasele lipide de Rotterdam la est si respectiv la vest. Cred ca si cu tramvaiele e similar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Varianta masinii personale are o logica intr-o oarecare masura... daca nu trebuie sa parchezi. La noi in cartier parcarea costa 0,5 euro pentru 20 de minute. In zonele mai centrale costa 0,5 euro pentru 13 sau chiar 10 minute (in zona comerciala din centru).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Exista si permise de parcare de resedinta. Pentru cartierul in care stam noi ar fi 110 euro pe an, dar nu ne putem lua pentru ca masina este cu numere de Romania si nu o putem tine fara numere olandeze decat maxim 6 luni. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Parcarea gratuita este doar in zonele de periferie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-8098100055353830364?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8098100055353830364'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8098100055353830364'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/09/transportul-in-comun-din-rotterdam.html' title='Transportul in comun din Rotterdam'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-6917264273365217077</id><published>2010-08-31T13:27:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-31T13:47:49.716+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><title type='text'>Mesterul olandez sau "Nea"-ul local</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Am promis ca voi scrie despre transportul in comun din Rotterdam in urmatorul post, dar voi amana cel putin pentru moment.

Ne-a spus ca o sa sune la handy man si ca daca e stricata va cumpara alta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Luni dupamiaza vine handy-man sa il numim generic "Nea" pentru ca nu stim cum il cheama si pentru ca se incadreaza perfect la tipicul romanesc de Nea sau chiar mai rau ... de Dorel :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Vine Nea la noi constata ca plita nu merge si zice ca va veni a doua zi la 8 sa o schimbe. Nea nu vorbeste engleza, dar pricepe ideile esentiale, iar el se exprima in olandeza pe care nu o pricepem cat de putin... noroc cu limbajul nonverbal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Azi - marti - vine Nea la 8 jumate (punctualitatea pare a nu fi punctul forte al olandezilor). Aduce plita cea noua si da sa o instaleze. Noi ne gandeam ca in maxim o ora termina. Ei bine... Nea incearca sa scoata plita veche.... nu prea ii iese... problema era cablul de alimentare. Ma intreaba in olandeza daca nu am un patent... eu ma prind din limbajul trupului si ii aduc patentul pe care il am de la tata din Romania.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nu e bun... nu taie cablul de 1.5 cm grosime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nea zice ca revine cu un cablu nou.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa o ora revine Nea cu un cablu nou si cu o scula de taiat. Taie cablul, se chinuie 20 de min sa puna stecherul (e un stecher mai smecher, dar tot un stecher e). Apoi se chinuie sa lege cablul la plita .... mai dureaza 20 de minute. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Da sa faca proba... din 4 ochiuri merg 2. Nea da sa desfaca cablurile din plita... ii aduc aminte sa scoata mai intai stecherul din priza si imi multumeste lovindu-se cu mana in cap in semn ca nu s-a gandit la asta ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Apoi se mai uita o data pe schema de asamblare.... nu pricepe... mai leaga 2 fire si da sa faca din nou proba.... nu merg decat aceleasi 2 ochiuri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Apoi suna la firma, horcaie cateva cuvinte in olandeza si zice ca o sa vina un electrician joi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Bun... apoi da sa monteze plita in blatul de bucatarie.... surpriza... plita e mai mare. Pune Nea mana pe "soricel" - cutter electric pentru lemn si placaj - si ne face in bucatarie o mizerie de rumegus si praf de a fost nevoie sa spalam toate sertarele de sub plita si tot ce era in sertare plus tot ce era pe blatul de bucatarie. In bucatarie si in sufragerie (bucataria e deschisa) era plin de rumegus si praf.... daca nu aveam in plan sa dam cu aspiratorul azi am fi dat in mod exceptional, dar macar aveam in plan sa aspiram in sufragerie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Desigur ca plita nu a intrat din prima si a tot taiat la blat... intre timp la una din incercari reuseste sa sparga o parte din placa ceramica de deasupra plitei... din fericire doar un colt... Apoi lasa plita asa acum a asezat-o.... ii spun ca exista niste suruburi in care trebuie sa o prinda... zice (tot horcaind in limba lui) ca o sa vina electricianul sa o monteze.... cert e ca acum plita sta sprijinita de partea ceramica, care dupa mintea mea nu e gandita sa sustina greutatea, dar ma rog...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dam sa punem sertarele la loc... nu putem pentru ca Nea a tras cablul aiurea si acum sertarul de sus nu mai intra pana in capat din cauza cablului de alimentare...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Intr-un final pleaca Nea lasandu-ne o mizerie crunta si o plita ciobita la care nu merg decat 2 ochiuri din 4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca cineva la fel de naiv ca si mine isi imagina ca mesterii vestici - olandezi - sunt mai breji decat "Nea" ai nostri.... ei bine nu. Cel putin pe Nea al nostru il pot asimila oricarui mester roman care vine, face mizerie, cere scule ca el nu are si apoi pleaca fara sa faca curatenie spunand ca nu stie cum sa rezolve treaba.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Deja parca nu mai imi e asa dor de casa :P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-6917264273365217077?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/6917264273365217077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/6917264273365217077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/08/mesterul-olandez-sau-nea-ul-local.html' title='Mesterul olandez sau &quot;Nea&quot;-ul local'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2256928303189263405</id><published>2010-08-29T19:55:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-29T20:12:43.561+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><title type='text'>Birocratia din Rotterdam si Agentia imobiliara</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ei bine, Apartamentul pe care il avem l-am inchiriat printr-o agentie imobiliara - Wonen MVM - unde am dat peste un agent - Jordi pe numele sau ... povestea e mai lunga, dar pe scurt sa nu credeti ca olandezii nu au prostii si nestiutorii lor care iau sume considerabile pe post de onorariu... Agentii imobiliari din Rotterdam nu sunt cu mult mai breji decat cei din Bucuresti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Proprietareasa apartamentului.... e o poveste mai lunga, dar pe scurt Jordi - de la agentie - ne-a spus ca de acum orice problema avem sa sunam proprietarul.... si asa am si facut, doar ca doamna proprietareasa ne-a spus foarte ofuscata ca ea lucreaza si ca nu vrea sa aiba de a face cu noi si ca daca avem ceva probleme sa vorbim cu agentia.... vi se pare cunoscut ???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Inregistrarea la primarie. Ca cetateni mandri ai UE putem locui in Olanda fara permis de sedere, dar trebuie sa ne inregistram la primarie sa ne ia in evidenta, ceea ce de altfel este foarte normal. Mergem noi la un fel de primarie de sector de unde o domnisoara care era la receptie ne spune politicos ca daca ne inregistram pentru prima oara in Olanda trebuie sa mergem la primaria mare - Primaria intregului oras Rotterdam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Mergem noi la primarie de unde primim niste formulare de completat.... unul dintre ele trebuia completat de catre proprietar - de unde si plimbarea de la proprietar la agentie :).... revenim joi la primaria mare cu formularele completate si platim corect parcarea - 0.5 E pe 10 minute cu gandul ca mai mult de 40 de minute nu ne ia.... ei bine, joia primaria mare inchide la 13:30 si noi ajunseseram pe la 3 PM.... bun.... revenim vineri fara masina pe la ora 11:45. Luam bon de ordine pe la ora 12:00 dupa ce o domnisoara de la receptie ne-a ajutat sa ne dam seama ce fel de bon de ordine ne trebuie...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Asteptam.... si asteptam... si asteptam.... si tot asa pana pe la ora 2 si jumatate.... apoi glorios mergem la ghiseu unde aflam ca ne trebuie certificatele de nastere in traducere legalizata.... care sunt in Romania.... din fericire procedura poate incepe si fara aceste acte pe care trebuie sa le prezentam in max 3 luni.... la ghiseu stam cam 45 de minute.... in total am stat in primaria mare am 3 ore si jumatate sa depunem 3 formulare :).... va suna cunoscut? Ei bine conditiile de asteptare au fost rezonabile, mai putin temperatura de aprox 15 grade din primarie, dar se pare ca aici oamenii sunt obisnuiti cu frigul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;De la ghiseu ni se spune ca procedura dureza 3-4 saptamani.... suna cunoscut??? ... da... ce sa facem... totusi noi avem nevoie sa luam un permis de parcare de resedinta pentru care sa platim doar 110 E pe an in loc de 15 E pe zi asa cum ar fi tariful standard... Doamna de la ghiseu ne spune ca tot ce poate sa ne dea este o copie a formularelor pe care le depunem cu semnatura si stampila de primire....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Plecam noi pe la 3 jumatate de la primaria mare spre primaria de sector.... intram cu speranta ca vom rezolva cu parcarea... ei bine daca la primaria mare joia e zi scurta (pana la 13:30) si vinerea zi lunga pana la 20:00, la primaria de sector e invers: joia e pana la 20:00 si vinerea pana la 15:00.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pe scurt am stat cam 3 ore si ceva la primaria mare ca sa rezolvam o chestie la primaria de sector, chestie pe care nu am rezolvat-o pentru ca asa e programul...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca vi se pare cunoscuta situatia, nu e nevoie sa calatoriti 3000 km ca sa o intalniti :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Revenim cu detalii despre vreme si transportul in comun.... daca cuiva i se pare scump transportul in Bucuresti, il invit sa mearga cu tramvaiul prin Rotterdam.... e mult mai fain, dar pretul e cam de 10 ori mai mare :D.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2256928303189263405?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2256928303189263405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2256928303189263405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/08/birocratia-din-rotterdam-si-agentia.html' title='Birocratia din Rotterdam si Agentia imobiliara'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-1792643040199647647</id><published>2010-08-29T12:25:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-29T12:45:43.420+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><title type='text'>Primele impresii despre Rotterdam si Olanda</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In postul precedent am scris despre drumul pana la Rotterdam. Acum voi impartasi cateva impresii la prima vedere despre Rotterdam si Olanda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Inainte de a veni aici ne-am documentat cat am putut de bine despre ce ne asteapta. In plus am avut mare noroc cu Ruben care ne-a ajutat cu sfaturi despre unde si ce sa cautam de cazare. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Asa am ajuns sa locuim in cartierul Noord (sau vechiul nord) care este o zona decenta din toate punctele de vedere. Mare parte din constructii sunt din caramida rosie si au cam 3-5 etaje. Stradutele sunt inguste si cu sensuri unice, iar parcarea costa de te usuca. Ceea ce m-a mirat la acest cartier este ca o buna parte din strazile mici sunt din caramida rosie si nu din piatra cubica sau din asfalt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Strada pe care stam este una secundara, deci foarte linistita, dar in acelasi timp este foarte aproape de strada principala.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Vecinii... ei bine in acest cartieri olandezii "originali" adica albi sunt minoritari... cam 40% dintre locuitori sunt albi, restul sunt turci - foarte foarte multi turci, chiar am senzatia ca sunt in Istanbul, doar ca e mai curat si strazile sunt mai largi - marocani si negri mai ales surinamezi (Suriname este fosta Guyana Oladeza - America de sud, o fosta colonie).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Am mai vazut prin oras multi asiatici, dar nu atat de multi precum turci si negri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ca atmosfera cartierul noord este pasnic, oameni civilizati si draguti. Din cand in cand mai trece cate un BMW cu muzica data la maxim... imi aduce aminte de casa :), dar altfel pare a fi un cartier pasnic si ok din multe puncte de vedere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Distanta fata de centru de unde stam noi poate fi parcursa in 20 de minute de mers pe jos, deci nu suntem chiar la capatul orasului :).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Supermarketul si o strada comerciala sunt aproape de noi la 10 min de mers pe jos sau 5 minute de mers cu bicicleta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Preturile sunt similare cu cele din Romania, doar ca inmultite cu 2 :) ... dar daca esti un cumparator istet si informat (ceea ce noi inca nu suntem - informati) poti obtine niste preturi ok pentru unele produse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Vremea... Ei bine daca ar fi sa vorbim despre vreme, chiar am avea ce sa vorbim. Aici vremea este mereu schimbatoare. Adica daca acum e insorit si pe cer vezi cativa nori pufosi, nu inseamna ca va fi la fel si peste jumatate de ora... Noua ni s-a intamplat sa plecam echipati de ploaie si pe ploaie si dupa o ora sa ajungem sa ne fie cald pentru ca intre timp a iesit soarele, iar vantul a slabit din intensitate.... reciproca este valabila... Cert este ca in Olanda si mai ales aici aproape de mare te poti astepta oricand sa ploua... oricum ... e si un avantaj. Nu trebuie sa uzi florile si ierburile din ghivece :).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Temperatura... sa zicem ca daca in august in Bucuresti e ok sa fie 30-34 de grade aici e ok sa fie jumatate. La noi in apartament deja merg caloriferele.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In episodul urmator poate vorbim despre interactiunea cu autoritatile olandeze :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-1792643040199647647?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/1792643040199647647'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/1792643040199647647'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/08/primele-impresii-despre-rotterdam-si.html' title='Primele impresii despre Rotterdam si Olanda'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-1866800010458464315</id><published>2010-08-28T10:25:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-08-28T11:53:39.678+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Aventuri in Olanda'/><title type='text'>Aventuri prin Europa + Prime impresii despre Rotterdam</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Iata ca nu am disparut si nici nu mi-am abandonat blogul meu drag :).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pe 7 august am plecat din Bucuresti, tinta fiind Rotterdam orasul meu adoptiv pentru urmatorii 2 ani. Si dupa cum ma stiti probabil, nu am ales sa merg direct, ci pe ocolite... mai intai am mers la Timisoara unde m-au insotit si parintii mei. Am vrut sa le arat si lor orasul, sa il revad si eu inca o data inainte de data exilului voluntar si sa il vad pe al meu prieten Bogdan si sa imi iau ramas bun si de la el.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Timisoara este in continuare un oras minunat si deosebit de primitor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa 2 zile am pornit spre Oradea unde am fost sa il vizitam pe prienul meu Sandor si pe sotia sa Otilia. Ca de obicei amandoi au fost extrem de draguti si de primitori, iar Oradea si Baile Felix ne-au primit cu toata caldura.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa inca 2 zile - pe 11 august - am pornit la drumul cel mare. Am strabatut 4 tari intr-o singura zi :) - Romania, Ungaria, Austria si am innoptat in Germania. In acea zi am avut primul meu soc de sofer. Pe autostrazile austriece din preajma Vienei mi s-a parut un adevarat infern, mai ales ca am prins si o ploaie torentiala care ne-a lasat cu o vizibilitate minima. Am supravietuit, iar masina Corneliei - Citroen C3 aka buburuza - m-a imresionat intr-un mod foarte placut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In Germania trebuia sa ne oprim la Kirkdorf, iar "susnumitul" Kirk se pare ca are mai multe sate (dorf) asa ca vedem noi un indicator catre Kirkdorf... o luam pe acel drum... GPS-ul se tot reconfigura si ne indica traseul... de fapt noi inca nu ajunseseram in Germania si am nimerit pe niste drumuri satesti - comunale de prin Austria - tot respectul pentru cum arata drumurile dintre catunele Austriei de nord.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Intr-un final nimerim noi la Kirkdorf care e cam cum intri in Germania la dreapta autostrazii. Daca nu ati inteles unde e, stati linistiti :) e un fel de catun mai maare unde am gasit noi ceva de cazare mai ieftin pe langa traseu. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In Germania drumurile sunt impresionante. Centura Munhenului e SF... norocul meu ca a condus Cornelia si eu am fost doar navigator....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Am ajuns si in Franta. Daca cineva are impresia ca cele mai faine autostrazi din Europa sunt in Germania, ei bine, ele sunt in Franta. Ceea ce au Francezii ca sistem rutier cred ca depaseste orice tara din Europa. Ce e drept platesti destul de mult pentru autostrazile lor, dar nu se compara cu cele austrice sau cele germane. Cred ca fiecare euro dat pentru autostrada a meritat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In Franta am innoptatla Chateau Chineaux.... cam prin centrul Frantei. Pe drum ne-am luat vin din regiunea Burgundia (nu stiu cum se scrie exact in franceza). Foarte bun vinul.... dar.... sec de nu mai imi simteam obrajii.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In ziua urmatoare pe 13 august mai aveam doar cam 400 de km pana la destinatia noastra - la Cristiana si Gerard - verisoara mea si sotul ei, asa ca am decis sa nu mai mergem pe autostrazi decat cat avem neeaparata nevoie si pentru economie, dar si pentru a mai vedea si altceva decat masini si asfalt. Ei bine... "the country side" din Franta este minunata, satuce medievale sau din secolul 18 - 19, strazi inguste, dar perfecte mici bistrouri multe bulangerii... tot tacamul. GPS-ul ne-a bagat pe niste drumuri care nu apareau pe harta noastra (Harta rutiera a Europei), cred ca un fel de drumuri comunale, dar cu un asfalt minunat si cu un trafic foarte scazut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Am ajuns la Cristiana si Gerard si Clara (fiica) in Insula Oleron care e practic o insula statiune. Ei stateau acolo la casa unor prieteni. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cristiana si Gerard si Clara au fost minunati. Ne-au plimbat, ne-au hranit :), au fost super... asa cum ii stiam. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Din insula Oleron se poate ajunge foarte usor la Fort Boayard (daca mai tineti minte emisiunea). Nu... fortul in sine nu se viziteaza, dar plimbarea pe Ocean a fost deosebit de placuta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa cateva zile in insula Oleron am pornit spre LaRochelle unde locuiesc gazdele noastre si am mai petrecut si pe acolo inca 3-4 zile... Am fost la acvariul din La Rochelle care e cu adevarat minunat. Am fost si intr-o plimbare in insula Re, care e tot o insula statiune. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca i se pare cuiva ca e fun sa faci baie in Atlantic in luna august la latitudinea aceea, ei bine.... e RECE...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa aceasta mica vacanta ultra low cost (cred ca ne-am incadrat in 200 E fara benzina) din Franta, am pornit spre Olanda. Pe 19 august am plecat din La Rochelle si am mers pana la Gent in Belgia. In Franta totul bine si frumos... in Belgia din secunda in care intri in tara primesti un bun venit vibrant... adica de odata asfaltul bun si drept al francezilor dispaare si vine cel belgian care ofera conditii optime pentru vibromasaj si din cand in cand cate o groapa. Drumurile belgiene seamana cu cele de acasa si in multe cazuri sunt mai rele decat cele din Romania.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;La Gent am dormit tot asa la un hotel low cost pe marginea autostrazii, iar a doua zi trebuia sa ajungem in Rotterdam la pranz... asa ca ne-am dus la Carrefour-ul din Gent. Da... pentru cei care au vazut masina... da ... am mai putut baga niste lucruri in ea :)... e SF cat am putut baga intr-un C3. Cred ca pot sa dau lectii de comprimare si impachetare eficienta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pe 20 august ajungem in Olanda... la Rotterdam orasul nostru de destinatie. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nu am sa intru prea mult in detalii despre ce si cum au fost primele zile pe aici. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cert este ca Ruben si sotia lui au fost niste ingeri. Ne-au super ajutat si cred ca fara ei ne-ar fi fost super greu. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Aici avem un mic apartament de mansarda cu 2 camere si o baie (bucataria e integrata in sufragerie) care arata decent, dar e cam scumpisor... 750 E pe luna inclusiv consumul de utiliati. Apartamentul era nemobilat, asa ca a trebuit sa ne descurcam sa il mobilam. Initial noi ne gandiseram la Ikea (care e la 5 km de unde stam noi), dar acolo nu ne-am putut apropia de prea multe lucruri. Ruben ne-a dus la un magazin de mobila la mana a 2-a de unde ne-am luat majoritatea lucrurilor. Mobila la mana a 2-a de acolo e in mare proportie mobila veche de lemn masiv la preturi simbolice. E o poveste mai lunga.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Acum o sa pun pauza si voi reveni cu noi detalii.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-1866800010458464315?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/1866800010458464315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/1866800010458464315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/08/aventuri-prin-europa-prime-impresii.html' title='Aventuri prin Europa + Prime impresii despre Rotterdam'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2246781409971006780</id><published>2010-06-28T14:20:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-06-28T14:30:15.519+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pentru Progres :))'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Economie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>Cresterea TVA la 24% cu cat ar trebui sa creasca preturile</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;TVA-ul este un impozit pe consum. Prin natura sa el este platit de catre consumator - adica de catre populatie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Trecand peste oportunitatea cresterii TVA, care este nula in timpul unei recesiuni si ar fi fost de dorit in 2006-2008 pentru a tempera consumul, as vrea sa vedem cu cat ar trebui sa creasca preturile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Vom pleca de la ipoteza ca intreaga majorare de 5 puncte procentuale se va transfera in pret.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Momentan (pana la 1 iulie) daca pretul fara TVA al unui produs este de 100 de lei, pretul sau final (cu TVA) este de 119 lei. Dupa 1 iulie va fi de 124 de lei. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cresterea este de 5 lei, deci 4.2% din pretul initial. Astfel toti cei care spun ca preturile vor creste cu 5% sau chiar mai mult, ar fi cazul sa invete putin matematica de baza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ceea ce se va intampla foarte probabil este ca multi dintre comercianti vor profita de aceasta ocazie pentru a creste preturile dincolo de cresterea TVA-ului, profitand de ocazie si de asteptarile de crestere a preturilor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;De exemplu daca la o terasa o bere costa acum 5 lei (avand o cota de 19% TVA), ea ar trebui sa coste de la 1 iulie 5.21 de lei. Cel mai probabil ea va fi listata la 5.5 sau chiar 6 lei.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cred ca, din pacate, cei mai multi comercianti vor profita de aceasta ocazie pentru a creste preturile dincolo de impactul cresterii TVA-ului. Intr-un caz ideal, comerciantii si producatorii ar putea incerca sa absoarba macar partial aceasta crestere fara a o translata integral catre consumator.

Brandul Bergenbier a fost unul dintre cel mai bine construite branduri locale si, in opinia mea, cel mai bine construit brand local de bere (la quasi-egalitate cu Ursus).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Bergenbier s-a asociat cu fotbalul. Multi ani ... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;La finalul lui 2008 s-a incheiat contractul de sponsorizare cu FRF. La noua licitatie a pozitiei de sponsor al echipei nationale, Bergenbier a facut o oferta suficient cat sa nu se spuna ca nu a facut una. Adevarul este ca noul management (din acea vreme) dorea repozitionarea brandului Bergenbier, repozitionare care s-a concretizat in rebrandingul costisitor si esuat din 2009. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Locul Bergenbier ca sponor al echipei nationale de fotbal a fost luat de Ursus, un alt brand local foarte puternic si bine construit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Acum, odata cu revenirea din 2010 a lui Mihai Ghyka la conducerea producatorului Bergenbier asistam la un proces de "De-Re-Branding". Se incearca pe cat posibil revenirea la brandul Bergenbier dinainte de 2009. Primul demers a fost reintroducerea "zilei barbatului" si odata cu aceasta sarbatoare revenirea la vechea reteta de bere (reteta originala) si la culoarea galbena a ambalajului. Cel mai probabil nu se va reveni la logo-ul vechi...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Asocierea cu fotbalul este necesara daca se doreste revenirea la brandul original. Totusi momentan nu este posibila o asociere cu  echipa nationala (si intr-o buna masura nici nu ar fi de dorit) pentru ca sponsor este Ursus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Campionatul mondial de fotbal este un prilej de comunicare care nu putea fi ratat de catre un brand de bere care vrea sa se asocieze cu fotbalul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Astfel Bergenbier a devenit sponsor al transmisiunilor TV ale meciurilor de la CM, pe site-uri de sport este sponsor al relatarilor trimisilor speciali din Africa de Sud...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In comunicarea TV Bergenbier a apelat la un mic truc - folosirea a doua figuri importante din echipa nationala - Cristian Chivu si Bogdan Lobont in spotul TV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Prin apelarea la cei doi, Bergenbier a evitat si asocierea cu "succesul" nationalei de a sta acasa la tv in timpul CM din Africa de Sud. Pana la urma cei doi - Chivu si Lobont - sunt unii dintre cei mai apreciati fotbalisti.... ok... Lobont e de ceva vreme rezerva la AS Roma, dar Chivu a castigat Liga Campionilor cu Inter Milano.... ce le-am putea reprosa?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ceea ce mi se pare absolut surprinzator este faptul ca Ursus nu si-a asigurat exclusivitatea asupra asocierii cu echipa nationala. Sa fii sponsorul echipei nationale, iar capitanul acesteia sa promoveze un alt brand concurent trebuie sa fie cel putin stanjenitor... dar asta e ... daca nu s-au facut contractele la timp...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A...

Fratele ei este tot in Mozambic, tot ca voluntar, dar in alta parte a tarii.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ieri am primit un nou mail de la Andreea - buna mea prietena. Unde e ea e mai greu cu electricitatea, netul si telefonul asa ca atunci cand vine un mail... e mare bucurie. In mail erau multe povesti si descrieri despre Mozambic. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Mesajul se incheia cu "ne-am hotarat sa ramanem aici". Usor socant.... dupa 26 de ani petrecuti in Romania (o tara civilizata in comparatie cu Mozambicul) si un an in Norvegia (clar o tara foarte civilizata), Andreea s-a hotarat sa isi petreaca uratorii ani in Mozambic... o tara aflata cu cel putin 100 de ani in urma Romaniei, o tara saraca, cu oameni saraci, needucati, plina de boli si cu o speranta de viata de doar 45 de ani.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cand am citit "ne-am hotarat sa ramanem aici" am crezut ca an inteles gresit sau ca era o greseala de scriere. Nu. Chiar asta isi doreste. M-am intrebat de ce ar vrea ea si de fapt oricine altcineva asta. Nu are o viata mai confortabila decat in Romania.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Poate ca totusi are o viata mai confortabila psihic acolo. Oamenii aia sunt atat de saraci incat nu se cearta pentru bani. Nu se rup prietenii sau familii pentru cateva sute de euroi. Fiecare are porubul lui si cateva legume si asta e tot. Plus ca din ce povesteste ea, cam totul e la comun... daca ti-e foame, e suficient sa ceri si se va gasi cineva sa iti dea ceva de mancare... nu cat sa te saturi, ci doar cat sa nu mori, dar tot e un minim de solidaritate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Acolo nu ai non-stop la televizor otrava informationala. Nu sunt televizoare (cel putin unde e ea). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In Mozambic oamenii se aduna in jurul focului si canta si danseaza... indiferent de ziua de maine... indiferent de cata mancare au sau de ce haine au pe ei.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nu as vrea sa glorific stilul de viata Mozambican. Nici pe departe. Totusi ceva ce au ei (din spusele prietenei mele) eu invidiez... as vrea si pentru mine. Au seninatate si relaxare. Poate ca sunt semne de subdezvoltare, de inconstienta... dar sunt atat de necesare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Eu unul sunt deja plictisit de programele TV care au ca mesaj: "ia lama si taie-ti venele pe lung incet incet". Mi-e scarba de oamenii care acum 2 ani ziceau ca sunt mari prieteni si acum se fac ca uita sau amana pana nu mai e nevoie sa dea 300 de euro.

Totusi din nou, civilizat, functionari amabili, putine acte, CEC la 10 minute de mers pe jos (e o agentie in piata Amzei) si un termen rezonabil de eliberare - 10 - 14 zile. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Constat aceste schimbari si de cand aceste servicii au fost preluate de Prefectura Bucuresti.

Toata lumea urla de "salarii (la stat) si pensii"... de protectie sociala etc. Fie ca taiem din salarii si pensii si ajutoare sociale, fie ca dam mai multe, nu ne vor scoate din recesiune.

Cu siguranta ati vazut comunicari de marketing din partea unor firme care fac parte din diverse asociatii (desigur nationale) sau care sunt recomandate de asociatii.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Acum, nu spun ca in toate situatiile este asa, dar in foarte multe este doar o forma de a bullshitui publicul tinta. Motivul este ca pentru a infiinta o asociatie, conform legii, este nevoie de 3 persoane (fizice sau juridice) si de un capital de (daca mai tin bine minte) echivalentul a 3 salarii minime pe economie. Plus ca nimeni nu verifica daca numele asociatiei are vreo legatura cu membrii acesteia. Numele trebuie sa fie doar disponibil in registrul national de nume al ONG-urilor si sa nu se apropie de o marca inregistrata la OSIM.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Asa ca daca ne adunam 3 prieteni la o bere (de preferat nefiltrata) putem infiinta Asociatia nationala a expertilor in cresterea viermilor de matase in conditii de imponderabilitate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;De foarte multe ori asociatiile care recomanda sau din care fac parte anumite firme sunt de fapt tot persoanele din firma in cauza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-3047170730439580360?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3047170730439580360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3047170730439580360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/04/sa-spunem-un-mare-nu-pentru-bullshit_24.html' title='Sa spunem un mare NU pentru bullshit marketing communication Partea a VI-a'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-8923960328287626352</id><published>2010-04-20T23:29:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-20T23:36:23.002+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Sa spunem un mare NU pentru bullshit marketing communication Partea a V-a</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pretul "psihologic" este o forma combinata de bullshiting intre comunicarea de marketing si stabilirea pretului.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pretul psihologic reprezinta stabilirea unui pret sub un anumit prag psihologic. De exeplu daca vreau sa vand ceva cu 200 de lei voi spune ca de fapt costa 199 de lei sau chiar 199.9 lei. Efectul psihologic consta in prima cifra din pret. Daca incepe cu 1 inseamna ca e mai ieftin decat cel care incepe cu 2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In esenta pretul psihologic este o forma de inducere in eroare a potentialului client care pana la urma (adica la casa) va constata ca 199.9 aproximativ egal cu 200.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ceea ce s-ar putea face ca acest "pret psihologic"  sa nu mai fie doar o forma de inducere in eroare este ca diferenta dintre pretul dorit de vanzator si cel platit efectiv de client sa fie mai mare. De exemplu in loc de 199,9 sa fie 195 sau chiar 190... pentru ca 5lei (2.5%) sau 10 (5%) lei sub pretul dorit de producator reprezinta un avantaj real pentru client - comparativ cu 0,1 lei (0,05%).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-8923960328287626352?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8923960328287626352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8923960328287626352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/04/sa-spunem-un-mare-nu-pentru-bullshit_21.html' title='Sa spunem un mare NU pentru bullshit marketing communication Partea a V-a'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-1937914834110641753</id><published>2010-04-20T23:22:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-20T23:29:47.643+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>Eruptia Vulcanului din Islanda si Viziuni manageriale</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pana acum eruptia vulcanului din Islanda (nu i-am retinut numele) a dus la cea mai grava perturbare a traficului aerian din istorie (poate mai putin perioada celui de al doilea razboi mondial).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nu vreau sa intru in detalii de geologie, meteorologie si alte logii.

Fie va fi nevoie de avioane care sa poata zbura prin nori de cenusa vulcanica, fie va fi nevoie de o regandire completa a traficului aerian, fie va fi nevoie de solutii de transport rapide la nivelul solului, dar cert este ca va fi nevoie de solutii de transport rapid pe distante mari.

Deschid cutia postala si gasesc 4 cataloage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In primul rand mi se pare un abuz la adresa intimitatii sa gasesc pliante publicitare sau cataloage in cutia postala. Corespondenta prin natura ei este privata. Dar asta nu e principala problema cu "drop in mail". Principala problema este lipsa tintirii audientei. OK. Pot exista situatii in care se face o oarecare tintire a audientei, dar nu una foarte exacta. Accept sa primesc pliante si cataloage de la supermarketul local si de la unele magazine de la care oricum cumpar. Aceste materiale pot avea un oarecare rol informativ.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ceea ce mi se pare absolut BullShit este ca primesc 4 cataloage identice. Oameni buni, e o singura cutie postala! Credeti ca e nevoie de 4 pliante identice ca sa ma convingeti? Mai degraba va asigur ca e nevoie de doar 2 identice ca sa ma enervati si atunci toti banii dati (aruncati) pe acele pliante si pe "drop in" au efect negativ (nici macar zero).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Un pliant e suficient... Credeti-ma!

Acestea sunt o modalitate de spam non-electronic, mai ales cand sunt bagate pe gat. Daca este o persoana care imparte fluturasi, este posibil ca cel caruia ii este oferit unul sa refuze. Totusi exista varianta cu bagatul pe gat - adica pus fluturasul sub stergatorul de parbriz sau in geamul lateral de la sofer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Aceasta modalitate de promovare nu are pic de tintire a publicului tinta (mai ales cand e vorba de "masaj erotic") si reprezinta un abuz la adresa intimitatii si inteligentei celui care primeste astfel de materiale de promovare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Va rog, nu mai taiati copacii degeaba... oamenii chiar vor sa ia singuri decizii si asa si fac.

In prima zi (ieri) am avut o sesiune extinsa de brainstorming referitor la perceptiile despre doua orase - Paris si Bucuresti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Participantii la brainstorming au fost impartiti in "cei care au fost in orasul in cauza" si "cei care nu au fost in orasul in cauza".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;La sesiunea dedicata Parisului am constatat ca cei care nu au fost la Paris au o perceptie foarte pozitiva despre acest oras si intr-o masura considerabila (nu majoritara) asociaza Parisului elemente generice cum ar fi moda si cultura. Cei care au fost la Paris au o perceptie echilibrata despre oras mentionand atat elemente negative cat si pozitive. De asemenea cei care au fost la Paris au asociat Parisului elemente mult mai punctuale cum ar fi pictorii de strada si cersetorii.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cand a venit vorba de Bucuresti am avut aceeasi situatie in ceea ce priveste general vs. particular. Cei care au fost la Bucuresti au enuntat mult mai multe elemente punctuale decat cei care nu fusesera la Bucuresti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In opozitie cu Parisul, in cazul Bucurestiului perceptiile celor care nu au fost in acest oras sunt mult mai negative decat ale celor care au fost. Cei care au fost in Bucuresti au mentionat elemente negative, dar au mentionat si multe elemente pozitive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A fost distractiv :D... azi vorbim despre Brandul Timisoara&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-7342099329934853589?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7342099329934853589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7342099329934853589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/04/brandul-de-oras.html' title='Brandul de Oras'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2024059146421576672</id><published>2010-04-08T07:54:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-08T08:18:17.694+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comunicare - analiza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pentru Progres :))'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>Sa spunem un mare NU pentru bullshit marketing communication Partea a II-a</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Revin cu alte exemple de comunicare de marketing de tip Bullshit-ing people:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;5. Formularile de tipul "daca vrei ceva, atunci fa asta (de obicei cumpara ceva sau vino undeva)". Acest tip de formulare a mesajului este la nivelul epocii de fier (sa luam in calcul ca in epoca de piatra a comunicarii formularile erau de genul: "Ia &lt;marfa&gt; neamule!"). Aceasta formulare de tip conditional cu tente pavloviene este o reala ofensa adusa inteligentei publicului tinta. In pofida a ceea ce cred multi comunicatori, oamenii chiar gandesc si mai mult decat atat le place sa gandeasca. Daca un comunicator abordeaza comunicarea in stiulu "Daca ... atunci" nu mai lasa publicului tinta placerea de a gandi si de a trage propriile concluzii.&lt;/marfa&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;6. Spoturi TV sau Radio care au la baza dialoguri stupide (ca sa fiu delicat) si sunt complet neveridice. Fac o mentiune: in publicitate este ok sa exagerezi in mod voit si transparent unele aspecte, dar in cazul dialogurilor care se pretind a fi intr-un context firesc este necesar ca acestea sa fie veridice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In aceasta categorie intra o multitudine de spoturi TV si Radio printre care putem include reclamele cu dialoguri stupide intre "gospodine" si desigur ca una dintre ele are la ea ba o punga cu detergent, ba un inalbitor, ba un balsam de rufe etc. In cazul spoturilor radio lucrurile stau si mai rau. Avem dialoguri care nici macar in piesele de teatru absurd nu ar avea loc. Deschide orice post de radio si asculta 2 calupuri de publicitate si vei avea destule exemple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;7. Steluta sau *. Este scuza perfecta si legala pentru comunicari truncheate. Comunicarea incopleta este extrem de aproape de minciuna, iar * permite intr-o oarecare masura sa se comunice truncheat. Cel mai des intalnim steluta in apropierea pretului pentru ca pretul comunicat este unul voit mai mic decat cel real. Recent avem exemple din zona auto unde toate preturile includ 3 prime de casare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Tot steluta este folosita si pentru a comunica truncheat costul finantarilor. In extrem de multe cazuri se anunta ca dobanda este de X%, iar in dreptul stelutei se comuica DAE - costul total al creditului exprimat in procente pe an.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;O alta utilizare a stelutei este comunicarea unui beneficiu exagerat. Imi aduc aminte de internetul mobil nelimitat* - *in limita a 1GB pe luna.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Voi continua ....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2024059146421576672?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2024059146421576672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2024059146421576672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/04/sa-spunem-un-mare-nu-pentru-bullshit_08.html' title='Sa spunem un mare NU pentru bullshit marketing communication Partea a II-a'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-6541290324483030596</id><published>2010-04-04T09:33:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-04T09:56:39.688+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Comunicare - analiza'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pentru Progres :))'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Picant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>Sa spunem un mare NU pentru bullshit marketing communication</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Mai exact comunicarii de marketing de tip bullshit-ing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In vremea cand eram mult mai pasionat de comunicarea de marketing (in special publicitate) am invatat de la Bogdan Manea aka Fozzie ca una din regulile fundamentale ale publicitatii bune este sa nu insulti inteligenta clientului. Se pare ca multi nu au invatat aceasta regula sau au uitat-o.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Comunicarea de marketing se joaca foarte mult cu perceptiile publicului tinta asupra unui produs sau asupra unei oferte. Cel mai neplacut este ca de foarte multe ori se apeleaza la unele trucuri relativ ieftine pentru a crea impresii mai favorabile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Iata cateva exemple:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;1. Cand sunt comunicate beneficii se transmite limita maxima a beneficiului respectiv.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"Reduceri pana la 70%", "Latime de banda pana la 7Mega biti" etc. Ca reducerile sunt pana la 70% este putin relevant pentru un potential client. Acesta este interesat cat este reducerea pentru ceea ce vrea sa cumpere. Daca se creaza asteptarea de 70% reducere si primeste doar 10% va fi dezamagit. Similar cu latimea de banda "pana la"... nimeni nu e interesat cat e maximul, ci cat va primi... mai degraba cineva poate fi interesat de care este minimul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;2. Cand sunt comunicate costuri se transmie limita minima a costului.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"Preturi incepand de la ...." . Aceasta formulare creaza o perceptie eronata asupra pretului. Cei mai multi potentiali clienti nu sunt interesati de produsele care au cel mai mic pret, ci de versiuni superioare acestora. Plus ca de multe ori produsul cu pretul cel mai mic brusc nu mai este pe stoc...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;3. Garantia pretului cel mai mic prin returnarea diferentei de pret.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"Va returnam de x ori diferenta daca gasiti mai ieftin" - Aceasta idee este una buna si are logica in cazul unor bunuri cu valoare ridicata. Totusi atunci cand este aplicata la bunuri de valoare mica (ulei, iaurt etc.) devine doar o gargara. Care poate fi diferenta de pret dintre doua magazine de acelasi tip (pentru ca doar asa se acorda returnarea banilor) pentru produse de uz curent ? Plus...cine sta sa compare preturi la iaurt si faina si sa treaca prin procedurile birocratice de recuperare a diferentei de 0.05 lei inmultita cu 10 ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;4. Garantia returnarii banilor in cazul in care clientul nemultumit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"Daca nu esti multumit in x zile iti returnam banii". In cazul comertului la distanta (catalog, teleshoping, comert on-line) posibilitatea de returnare a produsului si recuperare a banilor este o reglementare legala. De multe ori acest aspect este comunicat ca un mare favor pe care il face vanzatorul. Mai sunt situatii cand acest tip de comunicare apare in cazul unor bunuri de larg consum. Tin minte o reclama la un iaurt la care daca nu esti multumit dupa 15 zile de a manca iaurtul respectiv poti cere banii inapoi daca trimiti cele 15 folii de la cutiile de iaurt. In primul rand cine pastreaza foliile de iaurt tip de 15 zile ? In al doilea rand ce inseamna sa fii nemultumit si cum poti demonstra asta ? In al treilea rand merita tot acest efort (inclusiv trimiterea prin posta a foliilor) pentru 15*1 leu adica 15 lei ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Promit ca revin si cu alte exemple de bullshit marketing communication &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-6541290324483030596?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/6541290324483030596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/6541290324483030596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/04/sa-spunem-un-mare-nu-pentru-bullshit.html' title='Sa spunem un mare NU pentru bullshit marketing communication'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-8327706936216714131</id><published>2010-04-04T09:28:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-04T09:33:32.539+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><title type='text'>Pacaleala mea de 1 aprilie</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Stiu ca a trecut aceasta zi, dar as vrea sa impartasesc pacaleala mea de 1 aprilie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pe 31 martie am mers la un magazin (rascruce) si am cumparat un frigider si un cuptor cu microunde (deh... casa inca neutilata complet) ca tot vine caldura si berea se cere tinuta la rece.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;De la magazin mi s-a spus ca marfa va fi adusa a doua zi.

Cei mai multi dintre eroii povestilor, legendelor si istoriei sunt eroi pentru ca i-au ajutat pe altii si pentru ca au facut un sacrificiu pentru acest lucru.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A ii ajuta pe altii, chiar daca implica un sacrificiu, nu este ceva atat de deosebit pe cat ne place sa credem. Este un act perfect natural in evolutia speciei umane. Este ceva deosebit in comparatie cu multe comportamente specifice animalelor, dar nimic iesit din tipare fata de un comportament firesc al omenilor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Spre deosebire de marea majoritate a animalelor, oamenii sunt fiinte sociale care s-au dezvoltat atat individual cat si mai ales ca specie in comunitati. Evolutia speciei umane ar fi fost imposibila in absenta comunitatilor omenesti. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Astfel actele de efort pentru binele altor membri ai comunitatii sau chiar al comunitatii in sine reprezinta un comportament firesc pentru supravietuirea speciei deoarece in cazul oamenilor ca specie este mult mai importanta comunitatea decat individul.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Deci actele altruiste sunt un comportament normal pentru evolutia speciei, iar cele egoiste au un efect neutru sau negativ asupra evolutiei speciei umane.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2141642775967440810?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2141642775967440810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2141642775967440810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/04/de-ce-oamenii-se-ajuta-unii-pe-altii.html' title='De ce oamenii se ajuta unii pe altii'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-43181544754757834</id><published>2010-03-15T18:51:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T18:59:21.796+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Picant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>Schimbari in comportamentul clientilor de training</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In acest an la trainingurile organizate de PICANT am remarcat o modificare in comportamentul clientilor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In primul rand au reinceput sa vina la traininguri. Comparativ cu penuria din 2009, in 2010 o ducem destul de bine la trainingurile de la PICANT.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In al doilea rand clientii sunt mai exigenti, mai dornici sa invete, sa inteleaga si sa primeasca raspunsuri cat mai exacte. Nu facem consultanta de grup, dar in comparatie cu anii precedenti cand multi clienti doreau doar sa se termine trainingul, acum avem mai multe provocari.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;ZERO "turisti de training". Pana acum in acest an nu am avut clienti care sa vina la training pentru ca au fost trimisi de sefi sau pentru a evita inca o zi de lucru la birou. Nici in anii precedenti nu au fost multi din aceasta categorie, dar anul acesta declaram un glorios ZERO.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Mai intai invata si apoi se apuca de treaba. Ceea ce mi-a placut foarte mult la unii dintre clientii din acest an a fost ca mai intai se informeaza si se instruiesc intr-un domeniu si apoi se apuca de lucru in domeniul respectiv. Un exemplu bun a fost la trainingul iSell unde 3 participanti au venit inainte de a isi deschide magazinele on-line... hmmm oare nu cumva e mai bine sa vezi cu ce se mananca si apoi sa incepi sa bagi banii?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Desi uneori aceste modificari intra in contradictie cu "placerea comoditatii", pentru PICANT este de bine. Am reusit sa avem foarte foarte putini clienti nemultumiti in anii nostri de activitate, iar cresterea exigentelor clientilor nu poate fi decat benefica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In plus, poate se mai curata piata de gargaragii...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-43181544754757834?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/43181544754757834'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/43181544754757834'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/03/schimbari-in-comportamentul-clientilor.html' title='Schimbari in comportamentul clientilor de training'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-7637506963907773458</id><published>2010-03-10T23:24:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-10T23:32:32.260+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><title type='text'>Schimbari radicale</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Cel mai probabil sunt unul dintre cei care face rar schimbari.

Fiscalizarea comertului cu flori.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In momentul actual doar florariile asezate (magazine) sunt fiscalizate... adica functioneaza ca societati comerciale cu principala activitate comertul. Acolo cel putin teoretic se taie bonuri fiscale se inregistreaza cheltuieli in contabilitate si se platesc impozite.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In cazul florareselor si florarilor "din drum" avem zero fiscalizare. Cei care vand prin piete sunt inregistrati ca producatori agricoli si astfel sunt scutiti de orice taxe si impozite. Totusi daca ne uitam in "portofoliul de produse" expus nu vom gasi prea multe flori autohtone. Mai mult, unii dintre ei au doar cateva sute de metri patrati ca teren agricol, ceea ce face imposibila productia a tot ceea ce vand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Uriasa majoritate a florilor din comert sunt importate (mai ales din Olanda) si comercializate sub diverse forme stradale. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pe langa faptul ca florarii de strada nu platesc nici un leu la stat pentru activitatea comerciala (poate doar taxa de taraba), acestia nu respecta (pt ca nu sunt obligati legal sa respecte) legile de baza ale comertului. Prima ar fi afisarea pretului. De cele mai multe ori pretul este in functie de cati bani crede florareasa ca ai. Pari mai jigarit iti da mai ieftin, pari mai domn sari cu banu nene...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Tot la nerespectarea legislatiei comerciale intra si ZERO protectia consumatorului. Atata timp cat nu ai un bon fiscal, cat nu exista o persoana juridica care sa fie comerciant sau producator clientul nu este protejat. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-8576640450540988361?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8576640450540988361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/8576640450540988361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/03/fiscalizarea-comertului-cu-flori.html' title='Fiscalizarea comertului cu flori'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-291000862485220163</id><published>2010-03-04T14:44:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-04T14:51:32.756+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><title type='text'>Coperta pentru lucrarea de diploma</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Ca tot am inceput anul rezolvand niste hartii legate de absolvirea facultatii, mi-am adus aminte de &lt;a href="http://www.andavi.ro/Coperti_Lucrari_de_Diploma.htm"&gt;lucrarea de diploma&lt;/a&gt;... ce "munte abrupt" parea ea aproape imposibil de urcat.

Taxele fac parte din viata noastra si intr-o buna masura sunt normale. Este nevoie de taxe si impozite pentru implementarea politicilor publice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Si cum noi vrem sa fim mai cu motz am creat noi taxe. Avem taxa de drum... ceea ce nu e rau, doar ca stam mai prost la capitolul drumuri. Probabil ca ar fi mai eficienta o taxa pe gropi. In loc de X lei pe an pt a merge pe drumurile publice sa platim o taxa variabila in functie de prin cate gropi am trecut... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Mai nou avem taxe de viciu. Eu stiam ca exista accize, dar Guvernul Romaniei a inventat un fel de super-acciza. Aceasta super-acciza este aplicata viciosilor... acum viciu in acceptiunea legii este fumatul si consumul de alcool. Aceasta este o discriminare. Sunt si alte vicii... cum ar fi "placerile trupesti". Deci taxa pe viciu ar trebui aplicata si la prezervative, pilule anticonceptionale si alte metode contraceptive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Peste o luna intra in vigoare taxa pe fastfood... care nu e chiar pe fastfood ci pe allfood. Probabil ca legumele si apa plata vor scapa de aceasta taxa, dar in rest cam orice fel de mancare procesata va fi supusa taxei pe fastfood... de fapt inca nu se stie la ce si cum se va aplica, dar se va aplica de la 1 martie. Fun Nu?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Din istorie stim ca introducerea de noi taxe sau cresterea nivelului fiscalitatii duce la dezvoltarea "pietei negre". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In curand vom asista la aparitia unei noi sectiuni a "pietei negre". Vom avea Hamburgerul de Contrabanda si localuri ilegale in care se vor consuma in mod fraudulos mici alaturi de sucuri carbonatate (cu bule) asezonati cu produse de patiserie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Eu propun o noua taxa: Taxa pe pantofi. Daca ai pantofi este clar ca mergi pe strada (in casa mergi cu papuci). Daca mergi pe strada e clar ca uzezi trotuarele si trecerile de pietoni. Unde mai pui ca exista riscul sa te imbolnavesti si statul trebuie sa finanteze programele de sanatate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;O alta taxa care s-ar putea introduce este taxa pe scaun... dar nu la restaurante sau frizerii, ci la birouri. Statul pe scaun inseamna cumva sedentarism. Deci exista riscul sa te imbolnavesti (sau macar sa te alegi cu hemoroizi) si statul trebuie sa asigure finantarea programelor de sanatate. Deci toti cei care stau pe scaun mai mult de 2 ore pe zi trebuie sa plateasca taxa pe statul in fund.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;O alta solutie de salvare a bugetului este taxa pe haine foarte mari sau foarte mici. E clar ca daca ai nevoie de haine XXXXXXXXXL sau XXXXXXXXXS ai un risc major de imbolnavire, deci trebuie sa platesti ca sa sustii bugetul sanatatii.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa ce a inventat impozitul pe pierderi sau pe umila existenta (impozitul minim obligatoriu aka forfetar), Guvernul ar putea inventa o noua taxa pentru micii antreprenori: taxa pe idei de afaceri. Ai o idee de afacere - PAC - treci pe la trezorerie sa dai cu banu... acum nu mai conteaza ca ideea e buna sau nu, ca e fezabila sau doar o fantezie. Ai idei - PLATESTI.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2664048772955583886?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2664048772955583886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2664048772955583886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/02/taxa-pe-fast-food-taxa-pe-viciu-taxe.html' title='Taxa pe fast-food, Taxa pe viciu, Taxe vechi si taxe noi...'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-4067248648001588165</id><published>2010-01-27T14:40:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-27T14:41:37.028+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><title type='text'>Teoria Hartiei</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Faci hartii ca sa obtii hartii, pentru a depune hartii, pentru a primi alte hartii... iar la final rezultatul este o hartie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-4067248648001588165?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/4067248648001588165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/4067248648001588165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/01/teoria-hartiei.html' title='Teoria Hartiei'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-8744323985039244641</id><published>2010-01-26T16:02:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-26T16:05:38.391+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life Orgasm'/><title type='text'>Viata in comunism</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;In urma cu cateva saptamani am fost la piesa de teatru Sinucigasul care se joaca la TNB.

Peste tot gasim materiale care mai de care mai senzationale. Ne dam in barci cu Flacari Violet, cu Atacuri Energetice, cu para-psihologi, bio-energeticieni si alti scamatori de balciuri din dosul unui targusor de provincie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Fie ca ne place, fie ca nu... acesta este nivelul politicii si mass-mediei din Romania. Inca nu suntem la un nivel la care sa depasim aceasta cultura a bizarului si a misticului. Inca nu am invatat ca in lumea civilizata s-a inventat fizica, medicina, chimia, psihologia, neurologia si alte "logii" care dau explicatii rationale bazate pe fapte, cifre si experimente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Atunci cand oamenii nu isi pot explica ceva pun acel "ceva" pe seama supranaturalului sau a divinitatii. Doar ca in decursul istoriei omenirii pentru imensa majoritate a "ceva-urilor" mistice s-au descoperit explicatii stiintifice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Acest apetit pentru senzationalul frivol este o dovada a nivelului cultural general al romanilor. Faptul ca acest fenomen se extinde si la "clasele conducatoare" este o confirmare ca avem liderii pe care ii meritam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Supradoza de OTV in reluare in direct, de infractiunile de la ora 5, de tzatze si buci expuse pe primele pagini ale ziarelor, de stiri despre oamenii de pe langa sport (aka Fotbal) si de blogari cu degete spurcate are acest efect.

Simplu. Spunand pas acestei labe intelectuale la cel mai inalt nivel. Inchidem TV-ul (sau dam pe discovery sau national geografic), nu mai cumparam ziare si cand auzim obsesiv in jurul nostru despre aceste subiecte de interes e bine sa repetam "Sunt mai inteligent de atat".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-7387145290603664308?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7387145290603664308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7387145290603664308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/01/cum-ne-aparam-de-flacara-violet-si.html' title='Cum Ne Aparam de Flacara Violet si Atacurile Energetice'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-7083162332844344617</id><published>2010-01-20T08:19:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T09:04:27.517+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pentru Progres :))'/><title type='text'>Marlanie corporatista in pofida Responsabilitatii sociale...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; "&gt;Va relatez o poveste pe care un prieten al meu a trait-o in relatie cu o companie foarte mare din Romania si care se lauda de zor ca este responsabila social. Povestea prietenului meu numai responsabilitate nu sugereaza. Vom numi compania "C" (de la companie). Mentionez ca stiu aceasta poveste de la prietenul meu si nu cunosc punctul de vedere al companiei. Totusi nu am nici un motiv sa nu cred ceea ce el mi-a povestit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In a doua parte a anului trecut la compania C au inceput proceduri de restructurare care includ si disponibilizari colective. Vizat de disponibilizari a fost si prietenul meu. El spune ca din echipa de 15 persoane din care facea parte doar el si cu inca un coleg au atins obiectivele stabilite, restul nereusind sa atinga obiectivele. Atat prietenul meu si colegul care a atins obiectivele au fost trecuti pe lista de disponibilizari. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca este adevarat ceea ce mi-a spus prietenul meu (si nu am nici un motiv sa nu il cred) este interesant cum o companie cu un bun renume nu ia in calcul eficientizarea atunci cand face restructurari. Pana la urma eficientizarea este principalul motiv pentru restructurarea unei companii. Si daca obiectivul este eficientizarea de ce sunt disponibilizati si angajatii care sunt eficienti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dovada de marlanie nu este ca prietenul meu a fost disponibilizat desi era unul dintre cei mai eficienti din departamentul de care facea parte. Urmeaza...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Afland ca urmeaza sa fie disponibilizat prietenul meu s-a apucat sa isi caute de lucru. Spre fericirea sa sau spre durerile sale de cap a reusit sa isi gasesca de lucru la o alta firma. Pentru prietenul meu perioada de preaviz a inceput la 1 ianuarie si se incheie la 28 februarie. Cei de la firma la care si-a gasit de lucru l-au intrebat daca poate incepe de la 1 februarie si nu de la 1 martie. Prietenul meu a incercat sa isi incheie socotelile cu compania C pentru a putea sa se duca la noul loc de munca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Timp de cateva saptamani a incercat sa discute cu departamentul de HR de la compania C pentru a incheia perioada de preaviz mai devreme. Desigur ca in dulcele stil, HR-ul a refuzat pe motiv ca "nu se poate". Acum de ce nu se poate nu se stie exact pt ca pana la urma daca un om pe care l-ai dat afara de la firma si-a gasit de lucru in alta parte de ce sa nu il ajuti. Nu e fizica nucleara sa faci 2-3 hartii.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Vazand ca nu reuseste sa isi rezolve problema cu HR-ul din Romania, prietenul meu a contactat HR-ul de la sediul central al companiei C care nu este in Romania. Surprinzator HR-ul de la sediul central a spus ca nu este nici o problema sa plece mai devreme. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa ce HR-ul de la sediul central a contactat HR-ul din Romania, surprinzator, "s-a putut" ca prietenul meu sa isi incheie socotelile mai devreme cu compania C.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dar nici asta nu este marlania cea mare...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa ce surprinzator s-a putut, HR-ul din Romania i-a inaintat prietenului meu niste hartii pentru incheierea socotelilor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Citind aceste hartii, prietenul meu a descoperit ca brusc el nu mai este disponibilizat. Acum el isi incheie de comun acord contractul de munca. Deci daca esti in procedura de disponibilizare si iti gasesti de lucru si vrei sa pleci mai devreme de la vechea firma, brusc nu mai esti disponibilizat, ci chiar vrei sa iti inchei contractul de munca... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Aceasta schimbare minora de titulatura are implicatii majore. Pentru ca a pacatuit prin a isi gasi de lucru dupa ce a fost anuntat ca va fi dat afara, prietenul meu trebuie sa renunte la salarii compensatorii si la bonusul pentru indeplinirea obiectivelor. Desigur ca oficial el chiar vrea sa renunte si vrea sa plece de la angajator.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Aceasta mi se pare o dovada de marlanie de ultima spetza. Daca tot dai afara un om, de ce sa ii pui bete in roate cand el isi gaseste de lucru (mai ales intr-o perioada in care somajul creste)? Cat de jigodie sa fii sa spui ca odata ce un om este in perioada de preaviz la disponibilizare colectiva, de fapt isi incheie contractul de buna voie... din simplul motiv ca si-a gasit de lucru la o alta firma.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Imi pare atat de tipic pentru valorile noastre... Daca cineva e VINOVAT ca si-a gasit de lucru si vrea sa munceasca, atunci el trebuie penalizat...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca povestea aceasta s-ar fi intamplat la o firma micutza poate ca as fi dat vina pe un patron imbecil. Dar aceasta poveste s-a intamplat la una dintre cele mai mari firme din Romania, o companie multinationala, o companie care se bate cu pumnul in piept ca este responsabila social, ca este alaturi de romani etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cat de relevant este plantarea a 2 pomi cand aceeasi firma isi penalizeaza fostii angajati pentru ca si-au gasit de lucru...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-7083162332844344617?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7083162332844344617'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/7083162332844344617'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/01/marlanie-corporatista-in-pofida.html' title='Marlanie corporatista in pofida Responsabilitatii sociale...'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-2897264234743747239</id><published>2010-01-16T09:43:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-16T10:07:18.525+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Economie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gandesc - Deci ma doare capul'/><title type='text'>Eliminarea Inpozitarii cu 3% la Cifra de Afaceri pentru Microintreprinderi</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Prin adoptarea de catre Parlament a legii bugetului de stat pe 2010 s-a instituit si eliminarea impozitarii cu 3% din Cifra de Afaceri (CA) pentru microintreprinderi. Aceasta masura este inca una din seria masurilor de "incurajare" a antreprenoriatului si a capitalului autohton in mediul de afaceri din Romania.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Masura de impozitare cu 3% din CA pentru firmele cu pana la 10 angajati si o CA de pana la 100.000 de euro (microintreprinderi) a avut o logica buna pentru ca rezolva o problema si incuraja o atitudine sociala.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Problema pe care o rezolva era eliminarea partiala a birocratiei atat pentru firmele mici, cat si pentru Fisc in impozitarea firmelor foarte mici. O firma putea sa opteze pentru impozitarea de 3% la CA sau pentru 16% la profit. Prima varianta era avantajoasa pentru firmele mici de servicii unde rata profitului era cel putin egala cu 18,75% (sub aceasta rata de profit era mai avantajoasa impozitarea cu 16% la profit). De asemenea o microintreprindere care opta pentru impozitarea cu 3% la CA nu mai avea birocratia interna atat de ridicata prin eliminarea componentei de verificare a deductibilitatii cheltuielilor. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Incurajarea atitudinii sociale era incurajarea antreprenoriatului (mic) si incurajarea capitalului autohton sa intre in mediul de afaceri. Cunosc multi antreprenori care si-au pornit firme si care s-au bucurat de impozitarea cu 3% la CA. Majoritatea lor este formata din oameni tineri (pana in 30 -35 de ani) care au pornit mici afaceri cu economiile proprii (in general sume foarte mici) si care au muncit mult pentru a pune pe picioare mici afaceri care asigurau un trai ceva mai bun decat cel al unui simplu angajat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Prin eliminarea impozitarii cu 3% la CA a microintreprinderilor se crede ca se vor colecta mai multi bani la buget. Gresit! De unde se puteau scoate bani din microintreprinderi era din firmele folosite pentru incasarea salariilor care si-au pierdut inca din 2008 statutul de microintreprindere. In 2007 s-a hotarat ca microintreprinderile care au majoritatea incasarilor din servicii de consultanta sau din contracte de management sa nu mai fie impozitate cu 3% la CA. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cati bani crede Guvernul ca va castiga din eliminarea acestui impozit? Nu cumva va creste birocratia care in sine este costisitoare, astfel anuland orice beneficiu din colectarea impozitelor? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Pe de alta parte semnalul dat de Guvern este unul deosebit de nefericit. Prin eliminarea notiunii de microintreprindere (notiunea in sine exista in terminologia economica, dar din punct de vedere legal nu mai este nici o diferenta intre o microintreprindere si o alta companie) Guvernul ne spune ca a decis retragerea sustinerii pentru "echipa de copii si juniori" a economiei nationale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Romania are o economie bazata in special pe capital strain, capitalul autohton fiind slab reprezentat si doar cateva firme cu capital romanesc s-au ridicat mai sus de nivelul de IMM. Nu sunt un nationalist orb, dar o economie in care capitalul autohton este slab este deosebit de vulnerabila. Am vazut asta la inceputul lui 2009  cand a fost nevoie de un acord international sub "aripa" UE si FMI pentru ca bancile mama sa nu decapitalizeze bancile din Romania.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Impozitarea cu 3% la CA nu va rezolva problema prezentei scazute a capitalului autohton in economie, dar macar era o gura de oxigen pentru cei care vroiau sa faca afaceri (mici).  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Romania fiind pozitionata geografic intre Europa de Vest, Rusia si Orientul Mijlociu, am senzatia ca nu reusim sa ne hotaram pe in directei sa mergem... problema mare este ca daca mergem putin in fiecare directie nu ajungem nicaieri... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-2897264234743747239?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2897264234743747239'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/2897264234743747239'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2010/01/eliminarea-inpozitarii-cu-3-la-cifra-de.html' title='Eliminarea Inpozitarii cu 3% la Cifra de Afaceri pentru Microintreprinderi'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-3020205023202283423</id><published>2010-01-10T13:50:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T13:59:03.927+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marketing'/><title type='text'>De ce unii cred ca marketingul este creativ</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Acest post nu este despre inovarea in marketing, ci despre ideea falsa in opinia mea ca unul din atributele marketingului este crativitatea, astfel persoanele care lucreaza in marketing ar trebui sa dea dovada de creativitate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Marketingul pare creativ pentru unii pentru acei "unii" nu sunt suficient de bine pregatiti si nestiind ce trebuie sa faca - ce solutie sau ce algoritm sa aplice - sunt nevoiti sa inventeze ceva. Astfel marketingul cere creativitate. Totusi daca cei care aplica marketingul ar fi mai bine pregatiti ar sti ce solutie sa aplice si astfel nu ar fi nevoie de creativitate.

El nu se refera sub nici o forma la medicamentele care se elibereaza doar in baza prescriptiei medicale. Produsele la care ma voi referi sunt medicamentele care se acorda fara prescriptie (OTC), suplimentii alimentari si alte produse non-farmaceutice care se gasesc in farmacii (cosmetice si produse de igiena).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;In cazul medicamentelor (ATENTIE! medicamente si nu suplimenti nutritivi) care se elibereaza fara reteta puteti face economii cand mergeti la farmacii. Aceste medicamente sunt generice - adica pot fi produse de orice companie pentru ca patentul asupra lor a expirat. Astfel aveti o oferta destul de mare de produse quasi-identice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;De cele mai multe ori medicamentele despre care auziti in reclame sunt mai scumpe in farmacii decat alte produse similare care, in mare, au aceeasi compozitie chimica si deci acelasi efect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca va duceti la farmacist si ii cereti "Coldrex" sau "Nurofen" (ca tot e sezonul racelilor), acesta va va da ce ati cerut. Cel mai probabil veti da mai multi bani decat daca ati fi cerut alte produse similare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca va duceti la farmacist si ii cereti "ceva pentru raceala" acesta va va recomanda acele marci care sunt "preferate" de farmacia sau lantul de farmacii. Nu va va oferi "ce este cel mai bun" si nici "ce este cel mai ieftin".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;De multe ori veti vedea in farmacii postere sau materiale tiparite care promoveaza un anumit medicament... fiti siguri ca exista in acea farmacie produse similare si mai ieftine. De multe ori produsele care se afla chiar in spatele farmacistului (ma refer la farmaciile mai moderne) sunt cele care sunt "preferate" de acea farmacie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Iata un truct: Daca sunteti raciti si vreti ceva care sa mai ia din febra si din senzatia tipica racelii, mergeti la farmacie si cereti paracetamol de 500 mg. Daca va recomanda de exemplu Coldrex, puteti sa ii cereti sa va ofere ceva mai ieftin... daca refuza, cereti paracetamol normal (250 mg) si luati 2 pastile in loc de una. Este cam acelasi lucru. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Similar daca cereti ceva pentru raceala si vi se recomanda sa zicem... Nurofen forte, puteti cere Ibuprofen de 400 de mg. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Mentionez ca Nurofen si Coldrex sunt doar exemple in acest articol. Nu am nimic personal cu aceste branduri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Mare atentie si cand cumparati de la farmacie suplimenti nutritivi. Aceste produse nu sunt catalogate drept medicamente si prin aceasta, in mod oficial, ele nu vindeca. Ele sunt doar elemente care ajuta la ameliorarea unor simptome sau ajuta vindecarea printr-un alt tratament.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nu va lasati pacaliti de sintagma "e din plante"... sa nu uitam ca si opiumul este tot din plante si cocaina la fel si pana la urma si matraguna e o planta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Multe dintre aceste produse traiesc datorita promovarii intense. Inainte de a da banii pe asa ceva intrebati un medic sau chiar mai multi... doar sa nu gasiti la ei in cabinet afise sau calendare cu marca respectiva...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cand decideti sa cumparati de la farmacie produse cosmetice si de igiena luati serios in calcul faptul ca exact aceleasi produse sunt disponibile si in hypermarketuri unde au preturi in general mai mici.

Foarte multe minti luminate s-au straduit si se straduie sa ii faca pe oameni sa cheltuie cat mai multi bani in aceste locuri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Ca marketer poate ca imi tradez meseria prin sfaturile pe care le voi da in continuare, dar cred sincer ca este mai bine sa fii onest si sa fii ales pentru calitatile tale si nu pentru cateva trucuri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Iata cateva sfaturi pentru a economisi bani cand mergi la cumparaturi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;1. Gandeste-te bine ce trebuie sa cumperi. Este demonstrat ca in multe cazuri listele de cumparaturi sunt depasite. Cand va recomand sa va ganditi ce aveti de cumparat ma refer la natura, volumul si urgenta cumparaturilor. Daca aveti de facut cumparaturi mari, e mai bine sa merge la un hypermarket pentru ca de obicei preturile sunt ceva mai mici, dar luati in calcul ca tentatiile de a cumpara si lucruri de care nu aveti nevoie sunt foarte mari. Daca in schimba aveti de facut cumparaturi insemnand cateva produse, e mai bine sa mergeti intr-un magazin mic unde desi preturile sunt mai mari decat la hypermarket, tentatiile de a depasi lista cu ce aveti de luat sunt mici.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;2. Evitati Non-Stop-urile daca aveti si alte optiuni. Magazinele cu program non-stop (mai ales supermarketurile cu program non-stop) de cele mai multe ori au preturi mai mari decat cele cu program normal. Daca nu aveti nevoie sa cumparati detergent de WC la ora 3 noaptea, e mai bine sa il cumparati din alta parte pentru ca diferenta de pret este considerabila.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;3. Atentie la ce puneti in cos la casele de marcat. In zona caselor de marcat sunt plasate acele produse care sunt cumparate din impuls (guma de mestecat, bombonele, baterii, batoane de ciocolata etc.). Firmele stiu care este valoarea acestui spatiu - de aici si efortul de a il folosi cat mai mult. Eu nu spun sa nu puneti in cos produse de la aceste standuri, dar inainte de a pune mana pe ele, ganditi-va daca chiar va trebuie.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;4. Atentie la promotii... Este demonstrat ca produsele marcate cu mesaje de genul "oferta speciala" se vand mai bine decat cele care nu au aceste marcaje. Nu este nimic rau in promotii. Uneori chiar putem gasi produse faine la preturi avantajoase. Totusi nu intotdeauna ceea ce este "la promotie" este si cea mai buna afacere. De exemplu poate aparea la oferta wisky in cutie de carton. Dar daca mergem cativa metri mai incolo vom gasi aceeasi marca de wisky la acelasi dozaj, dar fara cutie si care este mai ieftin decat cel in cutie si aflat la promotie. Este acelasi continut in sticla.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;5. Uneori e preferabil sa alegi non-branduri. Nu voi contesta importanta brandurilor si increderea pe care le-o acorda clientii. Totusi sunt unele categorii de produse unde poti opta si pentru un produs mai ieftin in detrimentul unui produs similar doar ca "de marca". Sa luam exemplul servetelelor. Nu e nevoie ca ele sa fie durabile, indeplinesc niste sarcini extrem de simple si au o durata de viata scurta. Poate putem sa cumparam pachetul mai ieftin si nu pe cel mai scump.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Acestea ar fi 5 sfaturi pe care le-as da pentru cei care vor sa faca economii cand merg la cumparaturi...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-573578102381718394?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/573578102381718394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/573578102381718394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2009/12/cum-sa-economisesti-bani-la-cumparaturi.html' title='Cum sa economisesti bani la cumparaturi'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-4564372309697821564</id><published>2009-12-07T14:21:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-07T14:26:17.007+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marketing'/><title type='text'>Matsushita Leadership</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Saptamana trecuta am citit cartea Matsushita Leadership de Jhon Kotter.

El este primul presedinte care are doua mandate consecutive, este primul presedinte care a avut un mandat de 5 ani, este primul presedinte suspendat de Parlament, este primul presedinte care in timpul mandatului sau a avut un Guvern opozant (Guvernul Tariceanu II) si primul presedinte care a folosit referendumul ca modalitate de consultare populara (pana in 2007 referendumurile au fost convocate doar pentru adoptarea si modificarea Constitutiei si pentru validarea deciziei de suspendare a Presedintelui).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Nu stiu daca sa ma bucur sau nu ca avem inca 5 ani cu Traian Basescu Presedinte... dar ma pot bucura ca nu vom avea linistea profunda dintre 2001 si 2005 cand mass media (mai ales TV) era plina de partid si conducatorul sau mult iubit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Dupa ce timp de mai bine de un an Romania si romanii au fost "carnea de tun" a partidelor politice si a liderilor acestora, a venit momentul in care toti politicienii - in frunte cu Traian Basescu - vor trebui sa dea dovada de maxima maturitate si responsabilitate (ceva ce nu s-a intamplat de multa vreme).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Miza coalitiei PDL - PSD, iesirea de la guvernare a PSD, asocierea PSD - PNL - UDMR, demiterea Guvernului Boc in prag de campanie electorala si multe alte "manevre" au avut ca miza castigarea alegerilor prezidentiale.

Adevaratele diferente dintre companiile care ajung adevarate legende si cele care intr-un caz fericit ajung doar in categoria "Contraexemple" sunt date de viziunea si caracterul oamenilor din spatele afacerilor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cei care au scopuri marete sunt cei care reusesc sa intre in legenda. Probabil ca sunt mult mai multi care au scopuri marete, dar esueaza decat cei care si reusesc, doar ca daca ne uitam si cu mai mare atentie vom vedea ca de fapt cei care au esuat nu au avut inradacinat in adancul lor un scop inalt sau poate au nimerit un context nefavorabil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cand iti propui &lt;strong&gt;sincer&lt;/strong&gt; ca prin afacerea ta sa contribui decisiv la eradicarea saraciei, aceasta afacere nu are cum sa dea gres. Vedeti ca e marcat cuvantul sincer... poate ca nici nu e bine sa spui public care este scopul suprem al afacerii pe care o conduci... e nevoie sa il stie doar cei din interiorul firmei.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Cand vrei sa reduci saracia, cand vrei sa redai oamenilor posibilitatea de a merge, cand vrei sa educi lumea, nu poti da gres... Cu siguranta ca exista zeci sau mii de contraexemple la ceea ce am spus mai sus. Dar adaug din nou SINCER... cand vrei sa reduci saracia vei fi mereu auster cu propriile cheltuieli... cand vrei sa educi lumea sa nu mai se lase pacalita vei evita singur pacalelile... si asa te stabilizezi si ai posibilitatea sa te extinzi. Sinceritatea de care vorbesc echivaleaza cu profesionalismul. Profesionalismul si pragmatismul nu contrazic scopurile inalte, ci chiar sunt factori care duc la atingerea acestor scopuri. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca oamenii au reusit sa dezvolte in decursul evolutiei instincte atat de complexe precum dragostea si selectia sexuala, daca alocam cam 20 de ani pentru a ne creste copiii, atunci putem cu siguranta sa spunem ca si stimularea progresului general prin intermediul activitatilor de afaceri este la fel de natural precum dragostea, sexul si cresterea copiilor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Intr-un post de la inceputul acestui an spneam ca un antreprenor sau un manager trebuie sa faca dragoste cu afacerea sa. Ei bine rodul acestei dragoste nu poate fi produsul sau serviciul pe care il vinde firma, ci chiar clientul. Si la fel cum niste parinti vor urmari dezvoltarea cat mai fructuoasa si sanatoasa a copilului lor, la fel si compania trebuie sa vizeze acelasi obiective pentru consumatorul sau.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Stiu ca ceea ce spun aici suna cel putin ciudat, contrazicand teoriile clasice ale pragmatismului financiar si tradand ideea de HOMO ECONOMICUS... ei bine, el nu exista cu adevarat... el este doar o masca pe care o purtam din cand in cand, dar in spatele acestei masti se gasesc oameni care au in interiorul lor inradacinate instinctele fundamentale de supravietuire a speciei.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Daca am incerca sa reducem risipa de energie si resurse facuta in directii eronate care ne aduc satisfactii de moment si am canaliza aceste resurse si energia intelectuala in directii care asigura indeplinirea unor scopuri inalte, fara a afecta radical beneficiile financiare (poate chiar crescandu-le pe termen lung), cu siguranta lumea ar fi un loc mai bun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;De exemplu publicitatea, vanzarile directe, amenajarea magazinelor etc. folosesc descoperirile psihologiei pentru a determina oamenii sa cumpere anumite produse sau sa manipuleze anumite decizii. Daca descoperirile psihologiei si acest efort ar fi indreptate catre a furniza marfuri mai bune sau mai accesibile sau ar fi indreptat pentru o mai buna informare a clientilor credeti ca ar fi mai rau? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Raspunsul este clar DA. Da va fi mai rau pentru cei care urmaresc doar sa ia banii oamenilor, oferindu-le foarte putin in schimb. Da... vor fi nefericiti multi dintre cei care urmaresc doar sa faca un ban. A! si vor mai fi nefericite multe companii farmaceutice care vand generice cam cu 20% mai scump doar pentru ca se face promovare agresiva si farmacistii sunt "stimulati" sa recomande anumite branduri in detrimentul concurentei cu preturi mai mici care vinde fix acelasi produs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Poate ca exagerez putin cu aceste companii farmaceutice pentru ca strategii similare se practica si in alte piete unde produsele sunt foarte apropiate, doar ca in cazul medicamentelor este vorba de sanatate...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Raspunsul de mai sus este exact opus celui pentru beneficiar - client si pentru cei care vor sti sa faca eforturile pe care le-am enuntat. Pentru ei raspunsul este clar NU.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Progress Marks... acesta este noua cale in marketing....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Textul de mai sus (daca ati ajuns pana aici inseamna ca v-a placut) este un "intro" al unui dar pe care sper sa vi-l ofer peste nu foarte mult timp. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30378549-3567487141515753737?l=naumof.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3567487141515753737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30378549/posts/default/3567487141515753737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://naumof.blogspot.com/2009/12/cand-se-ridica-ceata-din-fatza-ochilor.html' title='Cand se ridica ceata din fatza ochilor'/><author><name>Nicolae Naumof</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11683307668919327677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_vHr3ACUANFI/SC7izA83DcI/AAAAAAAAAE0/3eRuTo7ruk4/S220/NNAUMOF_Mic.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30378549.post-478099751930687517</id><published>2009-12-02T19:35:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-02T19:56:18.931+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pentru Progres :))'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Personal'/><title type='text'>Carti...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Anul acesta am reusit sa citesc destul de mult.
