This was a fantastic interview. Ram's ideas are insightful, succint and practical. The social process of converting an idea in to a product or service and then creating profits from it is fascinating.

How is a slight alternation to facebook's design making headlines around the world? Apart from that, yes I think the design change is definitely a good idea.

In relation to quality and this discussion, most brands of bottled water have been tested and shown to have no health benefits above those of tap water, many consumers won’t be convinced. Consumers are increasingly worried about the quality of bottled water that is often bottled using the same municipal water supplies that come out of home tap water.
The amount spent on bottled water is staggering.

The consumer will still buy it even if they know exactly what it is becuase of its association with style, sophistication and the packaging. The rapid introduction of new products, and new packaging, make the bottled water market an extremely dynamic industry, and America’s high level of carbonated soft drinks (CSD’s), energy drinks, and sports drinks, and comparatively low-level of consumption of premium and enriched water products suggests that the U.S. market still has potential for a high rate of sales growth before reaching saturation

It is an overeaction. While the crisis is bad, America usually has a history of accountability after a crisis (unlike some countries like Japan or in some Asian ecnomies where an extened 'cover up' would now still be taking place if the sub-prime crisis took place- I'm not trying to be offensive, just judging by history) - look at Enron, other shocks- there will be accountability then a return to slow growth in the US. Meaning, after the companies have experienced dramatically bad results (with some bankruptcies of course) new processes will be implemented.

Hi
John Riley here from IBISWorld. We have been doing some research on the bottled water industry (global and US market)
