Richmond Friday, June 25th is Affiliate Chapter day. If Wes Door Marvin E. Whitney your watchmakers/clockmakers guild belongs to Henry B. Fried A WI, and ifyou are the one they are sending as a delegate, then you are not only invited to attend, but you will also help by voting on all Affiliate Chapter AWi OFFICERS Wes Door, CMW: President business. This will include suggestions that will be referred to the A WI Board Joseph L. Cerullo, CMW, CMC: First Vice President at their Saturday meeting. All Affiliate Chapters have received a form which Henry Frystak, CMW: Second Vice President should be filled out so it can be presented at the Affiliate Chapter meeting by Fred S. Burckhardt: Secretary your guild's representative. In fact, this form should be filled out early and Gerald G. Jaeger, CMW, CMEW, FAWI: Treasurer returned to A WI Central so they have time to make enough copies for all delegates. AWi DIRECTORS 1ncidentally,each guild may send a delegate and an alternatedelegate William Biederman, CMW if they wish. The alternatedelegatewould take the delegate's place only in their Robert F. Bishop, CMEW absence. The alternates not only can but are encouraged to sit in on all meetings. Buddy Carpenter, CMC, CMEW This includes the Affiliate Chapter meeting on Friday as well as theAWI Board Charles Oeves Ewell D. Hartman, CMW, FAWI meeting on Saturday. As delegates are called up to give their reports, they are Gerhard Hutter, CMW sharing their state or guild experiences.

This is causing serious problems for all of Switzer- land apart from some sections of the financial community. Some of the air of stagnation and resignation, which we see in many of our political leaders, is beginning to spread right across the country. The collapse of Swissair-Swiss then Swiss-Lufthansa is one upsetting and depressing example of this. In fact, I am outraged that in Switzerland, the land of some great business founders of the past, we are no longer able to find enough entrepreneurs capable of preserving and developing the heritage that has been handed down to us, and of which we are the guardians.

  • Brand Globalization and the Comeback of the Swiss Watch
    Brand Globalization and the Comeback of the Swiss Watch Industry on the World Market, 1980-2010 Pierre-Yves Donzé, Kyoto University WORK IN PROGRESS, DON’T QUOTE WITHOUT PERMISSION Introduction Brand management is a key component of modern enterprises. 1 For firms, the main function of brands is to “differentiate them from competition”. 2 According to Teresa da Silva Lopes and Paul Duguid, brands have a positive effect for both consumers and producers. They enable the former to identify the product and reduce uncertainty, whereas for the latter, “they gave the capacity to shape consumers’ interest and tastes”. 3 Alfred Chandler argues that companies began to adopt brand management in the late 19th century when their markets expanded geographically.4 The transformation of the distribution system, with the emergence of chain stores and supermarkets, and the enlargement of consumption led to a need to identify products, especially in the consumer goods industry (processed food, beverages, tobacco, etc.). Yet despite the fact that packaged consumer goods manufacturers (Heinz, Kellogg, Nestlé, etc.) spread worldwide and built up a global organization during the years 1 Teresa da Silva Lopes, Global Brands: The Evolution of Multinationals in Alcoholic Beverages , New York: Cambridge University Press, 2007. 2 Teresa da Silva Lopes and Paul Duguid, “Introduction: Brands and Competitiveness”, in Teresa da Silva Lopes and Paul Duguid (eds.), Trademarks, Brands, and Competitiveness , New York & London: Routledge, 2010, p. 1. 3 Ibidem. 4 Alfred Chandler, Scale and Scope: The Dynamics of Industrial Capitalism , Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1994, pp. 63-65, 168-170 1880-1914, this did not lead to the appearance of global brands.
