I don't want to open up a whole "free speech" debate, but in the case of video-flipping, it comes down to the greatest good for the organization. Certain info that is not appropriate for public dissemination should remain well guarded, and any promotional communication should be left in the appropriate hands of the organization.
Even though most or to say any company will not allow the employees to use these flip videos to be shot and to share external people. But as we all say single picture is worth of 1000 words a small video is worth of 10000 words. The company management may always use the videos to communicate the message across to their customers. It doesn’t necessarily a video clip using the flip but a very small length video less than 30 sec to show what a company does is really a creative one.
Absolutely. They're probably having their lawyers draft the new compliance policies as we speak. Not too many organizations can afford to deal with data leaks and 'stolen' data.
Defense contractors also restrict devices with cameras in their facilities, and I'm sure the restrictions will get tighter with the attention that WikiLeaks brings to the subject. Any site I have visited requires all cell phones with cameras (pretty much all of them these days) to be left with the receptionist. I wouldn't be surprised to see commercial facilities implementing similar policies for their own IP protection - time will tell on that one.
You're right. I just read an article about how the US military is cutting down on the types of devices that are being allowed in govt facilities. No more removable media, camera-enabled devices, or anything to allow data leakage. Wikileaks helped to expose the security loopholes.
It is certainly the case with any defense company, and I suspect many commercial companies as well, that camera or video phones/equipment are not allowed inside facilities. I'm actually a little surprised that someone hasn't marketed phones without cameras to market toward people who call on these types of businesses.
My friend said that his company TSMC would not even allow employees carry a camera phone because the company does not want their "secret" spilled and captured "accidentally"
SP, valid point. Thanks for the comment. I was surprised when Cisco bought the company, but it seems to fit them well. It educated consumers about their brand. Always a smart move.
Thats a nice tag line "Do you flip". A small video with different activities, may be very casual one but still getting the message across always is liked by buyers. It also motivates the buyers to atleast go and checkout the product.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
