Features:
Article: Marketing Myopia (Part II):
FIn the first Issue we have learnt about basics of Selling & Marketing.
Here in the second issue we will be learning further for the same concepts:
It is extremely
important to distinguish between SELLING and MARKETING. SELLING is SELL
what you have; show your goods to various customers and whoever wants
it, buys it. If you succeed to satisfy customer, above his expectation,
he buys your product again. Otherwise, someone else WILL SELL. MARKETING
is study what customer wants; add values to the wants, so the customer
NEEDS the product. Because, you satisfy the NEEDS, customer BUYS again
and again. You are able to establish YOUR BRAND.

IT Jargons.....Simplified...
Bandwidth:
Bandwidth is the capacity that a telecommunications medium has for carrying
data. For analog or voice communication, bandwidth is measured in the
difference between the upper and lower transmission frequencies expressed
in cycles per second, or hertz (Hz). For digital communication, bandwidth
and transmission speed are usually treated a synonyms and measured in
bits per second.
Firewall:
A firewall is either the program or the computer it runs on, usually
an Internet gateway server that protects the resources of one network
from users from other networks. Typically, an enterprise with an intranet
that allows its workers access to the wider Internet will want a firewall
to prevent outsiders from accessing its own private data resources.
Bluetooth:
It is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks
(PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information
between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, personal computers,
printers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally
unlicensed short-range radio frequency. The Bluetooth specifications
are developed and licensed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.
