  • Saints and Sinners: Lessons About Work from Daytime TV
    Saints and sinners: lessons about work from daytime TV First draft article by Ursula Huws for International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics Introduction This article looks at the messages given by factual TV programmes to audiences about work, and, in particular, the models of working behaviour that have been presented to them during the period following the 2007‐8 financial crisis. It focuses particularly, but not exclusively, on daytime TV, which has an audience made up disproportionately of people who have low incomes and are poorly educated: an audience that, it can be argued, is not only more likely than average to be dependent on welfare benefits and vulnerable to their withdrawal but also more likely to be coerced into entering low‐paid insecure and casual employment. It argues that the messages cumulatively given by ‘factual’ TV, including reality TV programmes ostensibly produced for entertainment as well as documentaries, combine to produce a particular neoliberal model of the deserving worker (counterposed to the undeserving ‘scrounger’ or ‘slacker’) highly suited to the atomised and precarious labour markets of a globalised economy. This is, however, a model in which there are considerable tensions between different forms of desired behaviour: on the one hand, a requirement for intense, individualised and ruthless competitiveness and, on the other, a requirement for unquestioning and self‐sacrificing loyalty and commitment to the employer and the customer. These apparently contradictory values are, however, synthesised in a rejection, often amounting to demonisation, of collective values of fairness, entitlement and solidarity. The context Despite the explosive growth of the internet and multiplication of devices for accessing it, television remains the main means by which most people absorb narrative information.

    Hoe P&G het leven van de Belgische consument verbetert sinds 1956 Productlanceringen in België en overnames door P&G 1959 1990 1965 1993 EEN 60-JARIG SUCCESVERHAAL We zijn verheugd en trots dat we samen met u 60 jaar innovatie van P&G in België mogen vieren. Sinds we lang geleden, in 1956, onze eerste werknemer in dienst namen, zijn onze dagelijkse levens en gewoonten onvoorstelbaar veranderd. P&G was er altijd, met baanbrekende, innovatieve, ondenkbare producten. Maar voor een bedrijf als P&G is eigenlijk niets ‘ondenkbaar’. Onze 1966 1995 bedrijfscultuur is er één die uitdagingen omarmt als nieuwe op- portuniteiten. De niet-aflatende passie en gedrevenheid van onze Belgische teams doorheen die 60 fascinerende jaren is waarom we nu terecht kunnen stellen dat P&G België één van de juwelen is op de kroon van onze internationale onderneming. Ons Brussels Innovation Center heeft echt een essentiële rol ge- speeld in die geschiedenis boordevol innovaties. Het is uitgegroeid 1967 1997 tot een wereldwijd Center of Excellence voor was- en reinigings- middelen. Onze onderzoekers en ingenieurs stoppen jaren en jaren van onderzoek en ontwikkeling in elk product dat we op de markt brengen, waarbij ze altijd uitgaan van diepe inzichten in de behoef- ten van de consument. België kan terugblikken op een rijke traditie van ‘premières’. In België werd de eerste P&G-fabriek op Europese bodem geopend. 1971 1999 In België zijn de enzymatische poeders, vloeibare wasmiddelen en pods uitgevonden en geïntroduceerd. Vandaag, zestig jaar later, zijn heel wat van onze producten uitge- ® groeid tot iconische merken die elke Belgische consument dagelijks tegenkomt.

  • Annual Report Cover Back Gillette Final
    Gillette India Limited Dear Shareholders, It gives me great pleasure to share your Company’s annual performance for the financial year 2008-09. The last twelve months have been challenging to say the least. An unprecedented sense of gloom seemed to have prevailed over the world economy which has severely impacted both business and consumer sentiment. In the ensuing depressing scenario the two largest economies of the world - India and China – are expected to assist global recovery by achieving strong growth rates. India has voted for stability in the recent elections and the national economy is expected to grow in excess of 6% going up to 9% by the end of the current 11th Five Year plan. It is in this context that I report to you with great pride that your Company continued its strong performance with sales growing to Rs.662 crores, an increase of 12%, from Rs.589 crores achieved during last year. The performance in the last quarter of the year viz. BOARD OF DIRECTORS April to June, 2009 was illustrative of the resilient nature of your Company attaining a high growth rate of 27% in net profit over the same quarter last year. Mr. S. K. Poddar This year, in sum, has been a landmark one for your Company. In the Blades & Razors category, Chairman we grew sales ahead of category growth and Mach3 registered its highest ever growth in the past 5 years, helping the Company achieve overall market leadership in the category. I believe our Mr. S. Khosla success was driven by a combination of factors, prime among which remained our deep consumer Managing Director understanding and our ability to engage with him via innovative and world class communication campaigns.
