HP without printing: What are they thinking?

September 1, 2011

Analysis of:HP could sell printing division within two years, reports claim | www.printweek.com

Spurred by recent surprising developments and announcements at HP, an M&A intelligence firm predicts that HP could consider divesting the entire printing division. While there may be some high-level reasons why such a move might seem plausible, I consider it unlikely. Taking a closer look at the business drivers of the imaging industry in general and HP/IPG in particular, my conclusion is that this scenario, while worth a quick look, makes little business sense.

What Consumers Want From A Sandwich Chain

August 2, 2011

What the consumer wants from a sandwich chain-lunch vs. dinner: Beyond satisfaction of hunger, drivers differ somewhat depending on daypart. At lunch, consumers place more importance on health and portability,likely because more consumers take sandwiches to-go at lunch and may prefer a light and healthy midday meal. More consumers also say they prefer to eat their favorite sandwich for any meal at lunch, indicating that lunch sandwich purchases are more routine than dinner purchases. On the other hand, portion size is more important to consumers at dinner. Consumers may be more willing to veer from healthy eating at dinner andmay tend to eat a more substantial meal in the evening. Additionally, consumers say that quality and price play a stronger role when ordering sandwiches for dinner occasions.
