Meu amigo Chris Carr, decano do programa de CalPoly MBA e dos cérebros atrás do blog internacional da excursão do negócio tem um borne muito pensativo, intitulado, “Pagando mais comportamento da mudança e para fazer alguém mais ético?” Pensativo, mas errado.

O borne centra-se sobre se pagar mais lhe começa o desempenho melhor e/ou éticas melhores, e Chris bonito diz muito que não:

“Alguns sugeriram que nós poderíamos resolver o problema de produtos defeituosos demais que vêm de China pagando mais aos fornecedores chineses que fazem este material. Eu questionei essa suposição, e ainda.

Um exemplo que eu dei que a linha de discussão era que se pagar povos resolveu mais o problema, então por que pagando a maioria de resultado bom dos empregados mais ainda no desempenho bom, mas desempenho nao superior? (Veja o no. do comentário. 29.) E por que pagando a a maioria de empregados maus mais dinheiro destilador começam a lhe o desempenho mau, e a desempenho nao bom? (Se você sentir que mais dinheiro correlaciona a um desempenho mais elevado, vindo me veja depois que você empregou, controlado e ateado fogo mais do que alguns povos, e vamos comparar notas.)”

“Os produtos ou os serviços da etiqueta confidencial são tipicamente aqueles manufaturados ou fornecidos por uma companhia para a oferta sob o tipo de uma outra companhia.” - Wikipedia. This is the name of the game for China and for the most part, the products you buy here in the United States are not really manufactured by the name on the label. In some instances most of the big box or clothing stores you frequent have an inventory almost entirely made up of their own products under their own brand or multiple unaffiliated brands. This is not just a game for the big boys, this can be accomplished with the same everyday products under your own company’s label. Welcome to the club, we are about to pull back the curtain to reveal what you need to know in developing your own private labeled line of products.

Take notice that every manufacturer has its own guidelines, requirements and procedures for producing a private label product. Not all manufacturers offer this service or have the capability to laser-etch/carve logos etc. The first step is to source the product you like and then follow-up with the manufacturer opening a dialog about private label opportunities.

In the aftermath of the recent recalls of tainted and toxic China-made products, more than a few have speculated that manufacturers who have outsourced production operations there are no doubt rethinking their sourcing strategies and quality control processes, and, if some of the, shall we say, ‘more aggressive’ pundits are to be believed, even rethinking their continued presence there altogether. However, according to the results of a proprietary survey just completed by the smart cube, the pundits appear to be very much mistaken.

In the aftermath of the recent recalls of tainted and toxic China-made products, more than a few have speculated that manufacturers who have outsourced production operations there are no doubt rethinking their sourcing strategies and quality control processes, and, if some of the, shall we say, ‘more aggressive’ pundits are to be believed, even rethinking their continued presence there altogether. However, according to the results of a proprietary survey just completed by the smart cube, the pundits appear to be very much mistaken.

In fact, the majority of manufacturers surveyed are confident their supply chains are more than adequately secure to ensure the safety of their products. Indeed, nearly 80% of respondents (all of whom were manufacturers who currently manufactured their products in China) reported that they felt no need to review their supply chain activities in the wake of the well-publicized toy and toothpaste recalls. Further, these global manufacturers believe that the recent recall issues, while serious, are aberrations and not symptomatic of some more fundamental issue inherent within Chinese manufacturing. They appear to be on solid ground, as Mattel itself has apologized for initially putting the blame on its Chinese suppliers.
