			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A baby shower is an important occasion for new parents, especially the mother-to-be. The baby shower is typically planned by friends and relatives, not by the new parents themselves. Usually, one friend or family member takes the lead role, sending <a href="http://www.storkie.com/c-130-baby-shower-ty.aspx">baby shower invitations</a> and planning the party.</p>
<p>If you are planning a baby shower, there are a few etiquette rules to follow. First, hold the shower one to two months before the due date. This gives you enough time to plan for a fun party, and the mom to be will certainly have a baby bump by this time. On the other hand, it&#8217;s important not to plan the shower so late that the baby might arrive before the shower. If the baby shower must be planned after the due date, it is called a welcome shower, and is held to welcome the new baby into the world.</p>
<p>Who should be invited to a baby shower? Men are not traditionally invited to these events, although the modern baby shower may include men, particularly male relatives and friends of the mom-to-be. As long as it&#8217;s not a surprise shower, you might want to share the guest list with the guest of honor so that she can provide input and make sure no close friends have been left out before you send the baby shower invitations. The shower might be held in a home, a church, or another gathering spot, typically in the afternoon.</p>
<p>Although most guests bring gifts to a baby shower, the baby shower invites should not ask guests to bring anything. If the mother-to-be has signed up for a gift registry, this information should be spread by word of mouth, not included in the baby shower invitations. You should not ask people to bring food with them, either; it is assumed that guests will bring a gift, and they might feel insulted at the thought that they must both select a gift and make food for the shower. Any food at the shower should be provided by the hostess.</p>
<p>When planning a baby shower, many hostesses wonder what kind of invitation to send. If the mother-to-be knows the gender of her child, you can send girl or boy invitations to the guests. There are also many beautiful options for neutral baby shower invitations if the gender of the baby is not yet known.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Table skirts can be used to prepare an elegant, or even informal, setting for any occasion. They are well known for their use on banquet tables at wedding receptions and on demonstration tables at company functions. Table skirts are made up of a length of cloth that is joined to the edge of a table with a set of discrete clamps. <a href="http://www.wholesale-table-linens.com/table-skirts.html">Pleated table skirts</a> and shirred table skirts are the two most common kinds of table skirts used.</p>
<p>Select table skirts in a color that complements the table cloths. This will give your particular event, conference or presentation, a finished look. For example, if you use theme printed table skirts, choose colored table cloths that highlight a solid color found in the theme print of the table skirts. Some companies prefer to complement their logo colors or the materials that they are displaying when they select their table skirts. Table skirts not only complete the look of a table, they also hide unsightly table legs or items that are being stored under the table.</p>
<p>The use of table skirts does not have to be limited to a special occasion or corporate function. You can use table skirts when you are having an affair in your home. Food is most commonly dished out buffet style at a casual in-home party. Use table skirts and you can conceal, below the table, whatever provisions you used for setup or cleanup. You might also decide to store additional table napkins and equipment behind the table skirts. Because you will not have to move between the kitchen and the table, you will make entertaining less complicated on yourself.</p>
<p>An online wholesale company is a good source for table skirts. They can supply you with tailored table skirts for a non-standard size table. Pick from material such as theme prints, sheers, satins, metallics, lace and even velvets and velours for the table skirts when you have them made-to-order. After all, not all table skirts have to be produced from polyester.</p>
<p>Besides table skirts, online wholesale companies also offer tablecloths, chair covers, table napkins, place mats and table lighting accessories. The table linens you are looking for can be found in an assortment of colors, fabrics and sizes for everything from your own dining room to a conference center or restaurant. Many people find that using table skirts, along with other table linens, allows them to bring a creative touch to their occasion&#8217;s decor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Creativity can be defined as problem identification and idea generation whilst innovation can be defined as idea selection, development and commercialisation.</p>
<p>There are other useful definitions in this field, for example, creativity can be defined as consisting of a number of ideas, a number of diverse ideas and a number of novel ideas.</p>
<p>There are distinct processes that enhance problem identification and idea generation and, similarly, distinct processes that enhance idea selection, development and commercialisation. Whilst there is no sure fire route to commercial success, these processes improve the probability that good ideas will be generated and selected and that investment in developing and commercialising those ideas will not be wasted.</p>
<p><b> Great Ideas and Radical or Disruptive Innovation </b></p>
<p>We&#8217;re all looking for great ideas right?</p>
<p>There are a few Creativity and Innovation principles that are relevant before we discuss practical application:</p>
<p>a)	Franklin (2003) states that successful innovations tend to be moderately new to the market, based on tried and tested technology, save money, meet customers&#8217; needs and support existing practices. By contrast, the products that fail tend to be based on cutting-edge or untested technology, follow a &#8220;me-too&#8221; approach, or are created with no clearly defined solution in mind.</p>
<p>b)	There is a perception that radical innovations break from the past and are resultant from disruptive leaps. While some radical innovations follow this pattern, the vast majority of radical innovations result from cumulative incremental changes. That is, continuous tinkering, toying, experimentation and improvement results in greater &#8220;originality&#8221; vastly more often than &#8220;waiting for the big idea.&#8221; The Internet is a good example: though often perceived as a radical leap, it is actually the result of many years of incremental improvements traceable back to the solid-state transistor and beyond.</p>
<p>c)	Ideas can be measured in many ways, but one of the most useful measures is to benchmark for feasibility along the S-curve. That is, what are the practical impediments? For example, a time machine is less likely to reach commercialisation as a whole host of technological impediments stand in the way, whereas an idea for a new flavour for soda does not have that degree of obstacle.</p>
<p>Taking the above into account, we will discuss some ideas that have had significant commercial success by applying (inadvertently) the above principles:</p>
<p>a)	EasyJet or South West airlines.  The no frills airline model has found success &#8211; and can be defined as a radical shift &#8211; by simply operating at vastly lower prices &#8211; prices that previously would have been considered to be &#8220;outside the box.&#8221; This business model obeys Franklins rule, is an incremental change and has low impediments.</p>
<p>b)	GlassedDirect.co.uk &#8211; a recent success story that follows the above principles to provide, would you believe it, cut price specs. This is similar, by the way, to Dell, as the business model has been successful combining the Internet and Mail Order.</p>
<p>c)	IPod &#8211; follows Franklins rule, is an incremental change and didn&#8217;t have too many practical impediments.</p>
<p>So what is the lesson? To generate ideas that have a chance of commercial success, think outside the box but stick to the three rules above.</p>
