Is product development and brand management more or less the same?
Q. I want to go into brand management and work my way into product development, but they both seem to be intertwined. Is this true and if so, how so?

A. Both are pretty vague and have to do with marketing. Brand management involves everything to do with a specific brand or family of products. It can include product development for that brand. Product Development is about developing new products. It's not specific to a brand though it could be. It depends on the company that you are talking about.

A. Over the last millenium or so Korea has been harassed and invaded by its larger, more aggressive neighbors numerous times - the Chinese, the Mongols, the Jurchens(Manchus), and especially the Japanese. The Koreans have an expression which is telling: "A shrimp caught between whales". After the devastating double invasion by Japan near the end of the 16th century Korea never quite recovered from the loss until modern times, whereas Japan profited not only from the material plunder but also from the skills and civilizing influence of craftsmen and scholars captured and taken to Japan. There is in the outskirts of Kyoto, Japan, a monument known as Mimizuka ("Ear Mound"), which is literally the tomb of some 38,000 noses and ears cut from… [cont.]
