What does it mean to be innovative in business?

In order for a business to survive in today's world, it is important that we regularly review what we are doing and how we are doing it. By considering new ideas and new ways of doing things, and trying to innovate, we can improve on our products/services, increase sales, reduce costs and make our processes more effective and efficient. Innovation is key to increasing profits.

There are several ways a company can be innovative with their products and services. Today we will look at four of them.

1. Using the latest technology to improve your product/service

When we think of innovation, we often think of new technologies. While they might be impressive, we should not use new technologies just because they are available. It is important to consider how the technology can improve our product/service and make a difference to our customer. Companies that produce cars, toiletries, household appliances, etc. often have a large R&D department to work on making their products better.

2. Responding to customer demands by changing what is on offer

By listening to customer feedback, we can get their opinions on how we are doing and find out about what it is that they want. We also need to be aware of changes in customer demands and keep up with the times. When fast-food restaurant McDonald's realised that the market wanted healthier choices, they introduced fruit and salads, while removing the 'super-size' option from their menus.

Innovation in business

In this episode we are going to learn 【Transportation 】in Chinese. 
--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

But there are many people in big cities, and traffic jams are severe.
如果你赶时间，坐地铁最好。

If you're in a hurry, it's best to take the subway.

お久しぶりです。
4月を最後に、サボっておりました。ごめんなさい。
しかし、旅は続く！夏に東北地方を旅していました。
関西出身の私にとって、東北地方はアルゼンチンより遠かったんです。でも、今回の秋田、ガイドの仕事までしたおかげで、ずいぶん身近になりました。
感じたこと、言いたいことが山ほどあったので、ハルカちゃんに聞いてもらいました。
すると、ハルカちゃん、前より賢くなってるじゃん！
というわけで、二人の掛け合いをまた楽しく聞いてくださるとうれしいです。
