Revolution of Electronic Marketing
Chuck Martin discusses his new book "The Third Screen"
(NECN) - The business of electronic marketing is in the process of a revolution. Customers are no longer exclusively tied to their TVs or computers, now they're on the go, and tied in via mobile phones.
That's the focus of a new book, "The Third Screen: Marketing to your customers in a world gone mobile". Chuck Martin is the author of the book, and joins NECN Business to discuss electronic marketing.
Chuck Martin was interviewed live on NECN for the launch of his new book “The Third Screen: Marketing to Your Customers in a World Gone Mobile" (Nicholas Brealey Publishing, 2011). Follow him on Twitter - www.twitter.com/chuckmartin1

Fear, love and Valentine's Day
Study shows men are motivated to shop by fear
NECN: Lauren Collins
Finding the right Valentine's gift is stressful for a lot of people. A New Hampshire professor found something interesting when he studied how people shop for their Valentine.
It's been said that fear is part of any good relationship. That's especially true on Valentine's Day. That fear is the fear of rejection...Such is the scenario played out by the University of New Hampshire's Dr. Nelson Barber, who has found men tend to avoid confrontation and go for the wow factor gifts on Valentine's Day. It's a matter of instinct. Men aren't wired to forage for the perfect way to say i love you. They are by nature hunters.

A New Hampshire Economic Update
By Laura Knoy on Thursday, January 20, 2011
2011 seems to be beginning with better economic news than the last few years. The unemployment rate has dropped, we’ve gained jobs in industries from retail to tourism and stores reported one of the best holiday seasons in a while. But there are still challenges as well: housing prices continue to drop, foreclosures remain high and some economists predict a state budget deficit of at least $600 million. We'll take the temperature of the New Hampshire economy for 2011.

What Kind Of Co-Worker Are You?
By JJ Wright
The worst kind of co-worker is a prima donna, someone who feels he or she is entitled to undeserved preferential treatment — and this number of entitlement-minded employees is on the rise among younger workers...Prima donnas are not only less happy in their jobs, but also are apt to cause conflict in the workplace, especially with their supervisors, according to researchers at the University of New Hampshire and Florida State University.
Younger workers, specifically “Generation Y” employees, who were born between the late 1970s and 2000, are more apt to be prima donnas. Why? Managers report that employees in this age group often have unrealistic expectations and a strong resistance toward accepting criticism.

Gulf Oil Spill Could Have Major Economic, Environmental Effects
Oil Slick Heads Toward Gulf Coast
April 30, 2010 - WMUR.com
Oil industry experts said the Gulf Coast drilling accident will have major impacts on the environment and economy...Experts said it has the potential to be the worst oil spill in U.S. history. University of New Hampshire professor Paul Harvey said that even though the loss of the platform isn't a big hit to oil production, prices at the pump could still rise because of consumer anxiety.
"That can take a number of different forms, in terms of people buying more gasoline than they would otherwise because they're afraid the price is going to go up, which creates a self-fulfilling economic prophecy," he said.

They set up the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Although an improvement, the IMF and World Bank have been far from perfect. We'll reassess the two major organizations that came from the conference.

NHPR.com - "Loans to the Poor", May 5, 2009 - Microfinancing used to mean small loans to poor people in developing countries. Generally, NGOs and banks would help entrepreneurs - often women - get individual businesses off the ground, offering people at the lowest income levels the opportunity to lift themselves up.
But microfinancing has changed a lot in the last few years. There are more services - like green microfinance, and microinsurance - and the markets have broadened and expanded. Microfinance is now worth an astounding $6.5 billion. Cell phones and wireless Internet are changing how the poor use banks.
For an overview of how microfinancing has evolved, we're turning to Michael Swack, professor of economics and management at the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire.
