Orange loans hundreds of millions of euros to prepaid customers.
Create stickiness in markets where customers frequently switch from one operator to the next in search of a better deal. Another way the operator hopes to retain its customer base is through its range of own-brand, low-cost smartphones. By the end of this year the price of its Pixi device will have fallen to less than US$35 (€27), making it more affordable for a wider segment of the population. "Now you can reach the middle class that is booming," Rennard said. As is the norm in Africa, the Pixi is a dual-SIM device. By making its own dual-SIM smartphone, Orange has a better chance of ensuring that its SIM cards are in use by customers, even if only for receiving calls, rather than languishing in a pocket, the executives explained. Expansion plansThe Middle East and Africa featured heavily in Orange CEO Stéphane Richard's most recent strategic plan, the Conquests 2015 plan he outlined in 2010.
Orange is keen to foster organic growth, but M&A could also be on the cards. Innovation stories – RNDI 2013 (2/2) | Rapid Innovation in digital time. Following previous post on National Meeting of Innovation Directors hold in Paris last June, we continue our tour with some more innovation stories based on pivot leadership, scientific Corpus, social and collaborative altruism.
Pivot Leadership Here we have some companies which succeed in reinventing their business model or management framework. Following their leaders impulse, they engage into a challenging and innovative pivot. Since 1840, Remi James company has taken successive pivots from replicating antiques to being an R&D unit designing bespoke furniture for yacht and luxury shops, and then becoming an original furniture brand, James. It tackles now an environmentaly friendly innovation called Selun, a flour made of wood and cellulose. Selun is natural and enables creative design, as it is thermoformable. Watching the stunnning video below, you realize Selun is made of wood, but its capabilities unwinds infinite possibilities beyond traditional woodworking. Scientific Corpus. Be-Bound surfe via des SMS. Par Frédéric Bordage - 26/02/2014 Jusqu’à présent, les utilisateurs de smartphones, tablettes et autres terminaux mobiles connectés ne pouvaient pas utiliser leurs applications mobiles lorsqu’ils se trouvaient dans une zone géographique couverte uniquement en 2G.
La startup Altheia entend résoudre ce problème avec sa plate-forme Be-Bound. Installée sur un smartphone Android, elle permet de relever et d’envoyer des e-mails, de twitter, d’effectuer une recherche sur le web, de connaître un cours de bourse, la météo, horaires d’avion, etc. L’approche retenue par Altheia est simple : tous les échanges de données via des SMS. C’est un bon exemple d’innovation frugale appliquée au logiciel : comment construire une offre innovante en utilisant des technologies existantes de façon ingénieuse. Dans le cas de Be-Bound, l’intérêt pour un opérateur est de ne pas avoir à changer toutes les antennes relais GSM dans un pays tout en offrant un service supplémentaire à ses utilisateurs.

The first still being treated worse than the second. With the digitization of business, when more and more things are automated, are we going to reinforce this pattern? Digital transformation and internal communication Few month ago, I attended as a speaker at a conference on digital transformation of organizations, in which I put forward that enterprise had to move in as one to this digitalization and leave no one behind. One of the speakers replied, correctly, that in a large organization, you can’t do everything at once and there were priorities to be set.
The problem is that this sense of priorities is rarely known to all employees and most of the time they feel that it is always the same who are the beneficiaries. Internal communication is often deficient in this aspect and doesn’t allow employees to position. A digital gap growing up? How visualization changes everything.

The iCarta iPod Toilet Paper Holder" Some people like to fall asleep with the television on, while others will read until they're slumping over, barely hanging onto their book. About 45 minutes of soft music, however, such as jazz, folk or orchestral music at about 60 to 80 beats per minute, is the most relaxing way to fall asleep, according to a group of Taiwanese researchers [source: BBC News]. Slow, ambient music can lower heart and respiratory rates, and it doesn't have any of the negative side effects that might come with taking sleeping pills. The people at DesignMobel, makers of beds, furniture, linens and other accessories, had this in mind when they came up with the Pause, most likely the world's largest iPod dock.
Although it looks like any other modern bed unit you might find at a place like IKEA, the bed's headboard extends out to form small bedside tables, and the right side section has a special dock made just for the iPod. The 8 Elements of Contagious Ideas. In the research I’ve been doing over the past few years into why ideas spread, I’ve found a few common characteristics of contagious ideas across mediums and centuries. The list below contains those characteristics, and while its still an evolving set, the vast majority of successful memes I’ve studied have had some (or all) of them present. I’ve also tried to include takeaways, tactics you, as a marketer can use to apply these concepts to your viral campaigns.
If you like this post, or any of my work, please, nominate me for a Shorty Award. Seeding The first group of people exposed to your meme are your seeds. Its easy and obvious to say that you should work to build your reach–your Twitter followers, your blog subscribers–but its harder to do than to prescribe. Especially in less early adopter categories, find those users who are using the bleeding edge social media technologies in that space and seed your ideas to them.

During Startup Weekend we stream the Ideas pitch (sometimes) and few people ask not to be on the video. It is very natural to protect the only thing you have (at that point an idea). But there is a very logical way to demonstrate why it’s actually not a good strategy: You’d rather speak about your ideas a lot!!
A little bit of logic can be useful here for this “almost” demonstration (NO DON’T GO!!) Hypothesis : An idea can make a business if people can make it real and market it. The business is linked to the Idea, we can say the Business is a function of the Idea. We can say : Business = 0$ / if idea = 0 or if people = 0 so yes the idea is important! We also know that a business alone without a market but yourself (1 person) has no Value (or almost) Business = 0$ (or almost) / if idea = 1 or more and market = 1 Because you need a market you need people to know your Idea The issue here is competition.
