The printing industry in South Africa hopes to learn how to secure the future of its industry at the World Print Congress next week in Cape Town, 24 - 27 January. Held every four years, WPC8, will not only provide a powerful global networking platform for the printing and publishing industry locally with the several hundred international delegates, but will debate the future of the printing industry. Environmental challenges, the proliferation of new media options, media owner needs, and a host of other issues, challenge the sustainability of the printing industry - no more so than in South Africa, where printers have not traditionally formed very strong alliances with their clients in the media industry or strongly investigated new markets for their products, say local pundits. Bizcommunity.com will be fielding a team at WPC8 and will bring readers all the speeches and news from the conference next week.

Enjoy! Louise Marsland, Editor, editor@bizcommunity.com

    Internships: separating the driven from the deluded
    [Sylvester Chauke ] Finding, training, and managing an intern who will help your business grow takes time and effort.

    [Mike Freedman ] Well financed, well organised and benefiting from shared best practices, activists are taking on the world's biggest brands, from Big Mac to Shell, from Nike to Ford. Brand-owners can no longer preach to the masses from a distance and expect to keep their faults hidden. One ad from the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) is worth 100 from Ford, which it targeted recently. The balance of power is changing.

    Today's technology allows your business to handle more customer service than ever before, but if your team falls short on efficient communications skills, the only thing your organization will derive from all this technology is a questionable ability to serve your customers.

    Commitment - the challenge for communicators in 2005
    [John Bradfield] Professional communications work seems to get harder each year.

    Validity and reliability - Two essential components of quality market research - Bateleur Research Solutions
    Two essential characteristics of quality and useful market research are validity and reliability. The notion of validity asks the question "Does the survey reflect the truth?" and does it accurately and properly reflect the true quality of each item measured. In addition to a survey being valid, it also needs to be reliable, that is, if it were repeated over again would it yield the same results?

    "Weapons of mass destruction, my eye," said Fred and followed this with a derisive expletive.
