mv

PIPEDA is currently [2007Jan] under review by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. Richardson was quoted in the context of security breach notification requirements saying "This proposal is extremely important, otherwise PIPEDA would have no teeth,""The question now is, how will the law be enforced?

.

During the 2nd week of January 2007,  Richardson was interviewed by itWorldCanada.com's Nestor Arellano for a story about security breach notifications. Bill C6, the PIPEDA Act was federal legislation that required companies to keep customer profile information confidential and free from risk.

mv

The problem is that there is no legislation giving Bill C6 teeth - there are no consequences for companies who have situations were customer data is stolen or put at risk. Richardson explained that organizations like CIPPIC have argued for a Canadian law requiring that companies notify individuals when their personal profile data has been compromised as a result of some risk or threat situation that developed. Tim explained that presently there is no pressure for companies to let customers know they are/were at risk, other than pressure that comes about as a result of media exposure if a story breaks.

During the 4th week of December the Hamilton Spectator's Dana Brown interviewed Tim Richardson about "viral marketing" and how social networks on the Internet have created a vehicle to spread the word like never before.

.

The story was in the context of "Some online ads made by consumers to promote a brand they love. Others are less deliberate, such as the high-tech holiday lists on Youtube. Either way, the clips do what companies want most -- create a buzz around their products. And they're doing it for free."

.vv.vv

During the 2nd week of December 2006,  Richardson was interviewed by journalist Cassandra Szklarski of the Canadian Press office in Toronto for a story on CP's "The Cyber File".

.v

During the 2nd week of December The Globe and Mail carried the CP story about stores dealing with fraudulent holiday returns in which Tim Richardson was quoted at length. see www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20061214.gtcyberfile1213/BNStory/Technology/home

.vv

The Globe quoted Richardson - "More and more retailers are relying on computer databases to track returns so they can know if someone has been hitting a chain repeatedly for questionable refunds at different outlets, says e-commerce expert Tim Richardson." "Richardson says new technology known as RFID is helping more stores keep track of their products. These tiny tags store information the same way a barcode does but can be hidden inside clothing, toys or games, he says. They're most often used for high-end electronics. A stolen good brought into the store by someone with hopes of getting a “refund” would be readily identified, says Richardson, and the tags make inventory counts a breeze."

During the 4th week of November 2006,  Richardson was interviewed by itWorldCanada.com's Nestor Arellano for a story about online shoppers clicking through the "shopping cart" on websites, then abandoning the checkout without buying. Tim explained that sometimes this is not a bad thing -

- in fact many times online shoppers are simply looking at the detailed description of the product as described in the shopping cart, and then they go into the store and buy the product. Tim added that sometimes it is more desirable to encourage the shopper to go in to the store because then you can hit them with in-store promotions and cross-sell them or up-sell them on other products they see in-person.

.

.

Richardson explained that part of the current boom respects the fact that more women are buying online so marketers are trying to reach that demographic with new offers. Secondly, there are a variety of payment systems available compared to the limitations of credit cards and PayPal in the earlier years of Y2K, so there are more ways to buy things online. Richardson also explained that companies are developing viral marketing campaigns to counter the decline in the effectiveness of traditional mass advertising.

As marketing people become aware of the power of personal web logs (blogs) for facilitating the propagation of publicity about a product or service, concurrently, stealth marketers are exploiting the popularity of blogs to produce fake blogs, or rather blogs that are full of content which is spam, instead of genuine individual opinion. Splogs can also be used to drive traffic to a site to falsely create hits on a page and drive up a site's search engine ranking in a highly competitive sector of the web.

.

Richardson explained that risk and threat situations effecting int'l business travel are not just human based but also a consequence of climatic conditions - which effect corporate communications, topographical challenges - which stress land travel to remote areas, and (as recently portrayed in the southern U.S. and coastal South Asia) weather extremes.

...

During the 3rd week of September, Richardson was interviewed by journalist Aparita Bhandari for Report on Business of The Globe ? Mail for a story about Online Communities and the consequences for marketing and business models. He explained that communication technology developments have made it possible for people to create and sustain personal and business relationships that cross far distances.

nnn

While this absence of a geographical requirement has freed people to engage in more relationships unbound by distance, it has also fostered a reduction in the former close relationship held between vendor and customer. Efforts to recover this close relationship is what drives a lot of the online communities developed by consumer product vendors. However this energy for creating communities is not a new thing completely—companies have been "community"-focused long before the Internet ; what the Internet does, however, is greatly enhance the frequency of communication and through the use of enriched images, audio and video, further encourages community members to interact with a frequency and duration unmatched in previous generations. The interview was with journalist Aparita Bhandari for Report on Business.

"Japanese Foreign Direct Investment in Canada" written by Richardson and published in the December 1990 issue of Canadian Business magazine www.canadianbusiness.com -

.
 

.		In 1989 a large mission (Keidanren) of senior Japanese executives came to Canada for a coast-to-coast trip that was quite significant for the subsequent direction of Japanese FDI in Canada in the 1990's. At the time of the mission, Tim was working for the federal Dept. of Foreign Affairs, Japan Div. for the purpose of co-ordinating media circumstances of the visiting Japanese journalists. In 1991, when Japanese FDI was still hot, Prof. Richardson, who was working on Bay Street at the time, was interviewed in TIME magazine in a special report on Japanese investment and the article referred to the 1989 mission as well as other situations.
.
.		Here is a scan of the section of the article featuring the comments by Richardson - the essential points are related to Canada-Japan relations being effected by Japan's relationship with the U.S. 1991 was the first time that Prof. Tim Richardson was interviewed for an article in TIME magazine.
