Who cares?

Having just come back from another week in Finland, I seemed to have missed all the fun and furore over the "aneurin glyndwr" website established by members of the Welsh Labour Party.

The question is whether anyone cares outside of the Cardiff Bay/Eli Jenkins political bubble and, for that matter, the Welsh political blogosphere?

I very much doubt it, although those who live by the media (or multimedia) sword.....

Yes but you add yet another blog article about this useless site :)

The site is hypocritical on many levels but the funniest is around the 'public school' background of the tories. There is much rumour around the pubs of the bay that the designer of the site was himself a recipient of private education (as was Tony Bliar).

Another building society goes bust, the home secretary submits bills for porn channels, and more people lose their jobs and what does Welsh labour do, attack the tories. Say no more

You say:-

"The question is whether anyone cares outside of the Cardiff Bay/Eli Jenkins political bubble and, for that matter, the Welsh political blogosphere?"

Unlike your own erudite blog, of course! :->

I suppose you could be right in that I don't even care who reads this blog as it is used mainly as a place to post the two weekly articles I write for the Daily Post (127,000 readers) and the Western Mail (135,000 readers).

Those quarter of a million readers across both North and South Wales will hopefully read those articles every week regardless of whether they visit this blog or not.

It has actually reached much further and has illustrated to me the wider readership of the blogs.
I think one effect will be to scupper quite a few smug labour Lovies and burst their Bubbles.
It was also a relief from the turgidness of Welsh Politics. Two parties failing to lead. another failing to oppose and another ,well just another, although I have to say kirsty is much more effective thses days and getting sharper.While Nick Bourne just gets worse.

mam - I have heard rumours that Dylan is not exactly flavour of the month with the tories in the Bay and that the leader has been slagging him off to all and sundry - given your contacts, can you shine any light on this rumour.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FRANCHISING

When we talk about start-ups and entrepreneurship, rarely do we discuss the potential of franchising not only as a way of establishing new ventures in the economy but also as a method of growing existing businesses. According to the British Franchising Association, franchising is the granting of a licence by one person (the franchisor) to another (the franchisee), which entitles the franchisee to own and operate their own business under the brand, systems and proven business model of the franchisor. The franchisee also receives initial training and ongoing support, comprising all the elements necessary to establish a previously untrained person in the business. This enables individuals to start their own businesses without having to develop their own ideas and utilising an existing brand and established market. Of course, whilst each franchise business is owned and operated by the franchisee, the franchisor controls the quality and standards of the way in which the business is

THE MANUFACTURING STRATEGY FOR WALES

Last night, I received the following comment on the previous post relating to a piece I had written back in early 2007 about the state of the manufacturing sector in Wales. "Dylan, you seem to be ignoring the fact that manufacturers in Wales have written the manufacturing strategy. Small and large manufacturers, all represented at the Manufacturing forum, have co-written this strategy. WAG has recently supported this strategy and have funded a co-ordinator with resources. Manufactures are happy with this progress as they are following the strategy they wanted. I know that the Conservatives have attacked the strategy as they seem to think that WAG wrote the strategy. They couldn't be more wrong. The Manufacturing Strategy was written by manufacturers, for manufacturers and is supported by WAG. If you don't agree with this, then I can invite you to the next Manufacturing Forum and you can explain to the manufacturers how their strategy is wrong....I appreciate that there is

INTRAPRENEURSHIP

Whilst we often consider entrepreneurship to be associated predominantly with new start-ups, larger firms - in order to compete effectively in fast-changing global markets - are adopting more innovative and enterprising approaches to management within their organisations. One of these approaches is the development of entrepreneurship within a corporate environment (or intrapreneurship). Research has shown that intrapreneurship is not easy, and there are considerable differences between an intrapreneurial and a traditional corporate culture, with the latter having an emphasis on a culture and reward system that tends to favour caution in decision-making. For example, large businesses rarely operate on a "gut-feeling" for the market-place, as many entrepreneurs do. Instead, large amounts of data are gathered before any major business decision is made, not only for use in rational business decisions, but also for use as justification if the decision does not produce optimu
