SMALL HIGH-TECH FIRMS
The problems of small high-tech firms have attracted a lot of attention recently. Research shows that many of these firms are built BY talented, creative scientists. Their owners have no trouble coming (31) with innovative products but they often can't build on their early success.
One reason (32) this is that they don't have much management expertise. Therefore, they are unable (33) develop the strategies which are necessary for their company's growth. They are (34) a rush to develop products, and don’t think enough (35) how to market them. When they do try to sell their products, they spend too much time trying to gain the trust of potential customers. Another mistake they make is to underprice their products so that they have no finance (36) future development.
Once the firms begin to grow, their owners underestimate the future costs of developing and marketing new products. Lack (37) financial planning is a major weakness of such companies. It is difficult for the high-tech firm to attract the right personnel because it cannot offer the same job security (38) a large organization. The high tech firm can get round some of these problems by developing a specialist image. It can aim (39) a particular segment of the market. Customers then start seeking (40) the firm, se its marketing costs are reduced. The only drawback is that it may take some time before customers accept the firm's new technology.
Enthusiasm, bright ideas, venture capital and technology are not enough to ensure success. Basic management skills—especially financial and marketing ones—are also vital.

For proof, look no further than the fact that roughly half of the 100 global brands that Interbrand Corp. and Business Week ranked this year fell in value compared with a year ago. In this environment, just holding your own is an accomplishment.To qualify for our ranking, brands had to have a value greater than $1 billion. They were selected according to two criteria: (8) They also had to have publicly available market and financial data on which to base the valuation. That excluded some big brands, such as Visa International, the BBC, and Mars.How do you place a value on a brand? (9) Business Week selected lnterbrand's method because it values brands the same way analysts value other assets: on the basis of how much they're likely to earn in the future. Those projected profits are then discounted to a present value based on how risky the projected earnings are -- that is, the likelihood that they will in fact materialize.To start the process, Interbrand first figures out that percentage of overall revenues are accounted for by the power of the brand. (10) Interbrand then deducts a charge for the cost of owning the tangible assets, on the theory that whatever income is generated beyond that cost is due to intangible factors. This is the economic value added by things like patents, customer lists, and, of course, the brand.(11) For example, are people buying Shell gasoline because of the brand name or because the gas station is conveniently located? Interbrand uses market research and interviews with industry executives to sift through those variables. The final phase is to analyze the strength of the brand to figure out how risks those future brand earnings are. To calculate the brand's strength, Interbrand looks at seven factors, including the brand's market leadership, its stability and its ability to cross geographical and cultural borders. (12) Business Week and Interbrand believe this figure comes closest to representing the true economic value of that complex array of forces that make up a brand.
