rca began selling the first electronic turntable in 1930 and in 1931 ; rca victor developed and released the first 331 / 3 rpm records to the public . the format initially was a commercial failure because the records and playback equipment were expensive , and partially because the audio performance was poor . with the improvement of stylus for playback the product would be re released and become the standard for music playback for decades .
business and financial conditions led to rca ' s takeover by ge in 1986 and its subsequent break - up . ge then sold the rights to make rca and ge brand consumer electronics products , notably television sets , to the french thomson consumer electronics . thomson sold the rights to the brand to audiovox corporation , first for consumer accessory products and then two years later for consumer audio and video products excluding televisions .
palmolive , corona , rca and paypal top engagement labs ' list of social misfit brands . / by adriano agulló from elche , españa ( jerry only , misfits ) [ cc by 2 . 0 urltoken via wikimedia commons
in 1939 , rca demonstrated an all - electronic television system at the new york world ' s fair and developed the usa ' s first - ever television test pattern . with the introduction of the ntsc standard , the federal communications commission authorized the start of commercial television transmission on july 1 , 1941 . world war ii slowed the deployment of television in the us , but rca began selling television sets almost immediately after the war was over .
today ' s rca products , marketed by audiovox accessories include some of the most technologically advanced digital products in the market place . small wonder camcorders with their wide variety of software ' firsts ' lead the way . . . . digital audio mp3 players feature exclusive ez rip software that make them simple to use . . . . the rca clock radio line remains the number one brand in clock radios and the list goes on and on .
this is the original rca logo , which has not changed all that much over the years . the company ' s roots are in the broad cast industry with early product focus on the marketing of ge and westinghouse ' s radio equipment .
voxx intl purchased the brand as an extension of its already formidable consumer and accessory businesses . the company believes that the strength of the rca brand lives on and it has plans to continue to develop high tech products for these key consumer lines .
because of their popularity during the golden age of radio , their manufacturing quality , their engineering innovations , their styling and their name , rca antique radios are one of the more sought - after brands of collectible radios and audiovox is committed to that legacy .
further , engagement labs said the opposite is true for rca and paypal : their social media performance dominates in - person conversations about the brands , which can impact sales as word - of - mouth conversations are more likely to drive sales than online conversations , engagement labs said .
in the years that followed , rca was responsible for the development of a myriad of innovations and key technology such as color television , the electron microscope , cmos based technology , heterojunction physics , optoelectronic emitting devices , liquid crystal displays ( lcds ) , video cassette recorders , direct broadcast television , direct broadcast satellite systems and high - definition television would be invented and developed during ensuing years . in 1949 , rca - victor developed and released the first 45 rpm record to the public , answering cbs / columbia ' s 331 / 3 rpm

a look inside alco electronics ltd . ' s factory in china shows what it takes to succeed as a maker of gadgets for the rest of the world—human precision in tiny tasks and increasingly automated manufacturing , but also flexible thinking and perks to keep the best employees .
chinese workers in blue coats and caps worked on a production line making tablets during the associated press ' recent visit to the 2 . 5 million - square - foot plant . their tasks can be tedious , such as soldering a connecter onto a circuit board . machines do things like inspect incoming circuit boards and tighten screws on tablets—automation that lowers costs and improves quality . a droning noise signals where tablets are undergoing testing for all functions for eight hours before they ' re packaged . that ' s critical to help reduce returns .
alco , founded in 1968 to make am / fm radios to export primarily to north america , has shifted with market demands . in 1980 , it moved production from hong kong to china in search of cheaper labor . due in part to automation and the changing labor market , it has about one - tenth of the employees it had at its peak of nearly 20 , 000 workers .
the company is now juggling customer demand for affordable but high - quality electronics as it wrestles with escalating labor pressures and other costs in china . david leung , head of sales for north america , recently spoke with the ap about what ' s selling , the differences in the chinese and u . s . markets , and what alco needs to do to attract workers .
a . in the u . s . , wi - fi is everywhere . so any device with the wi - fi capability is very popular . content owners are putting the apps onto the tablet so they can sell directly to the consumer . we work directly with wal - mart on vudu ( which distributes movies over the internet to tvs . ) the tablet is like a vending machine for your home . in peak times , we can do 40 , 000 ( tablets ) a day . . . that is if all 200 components arrive on the same day .
a . it is not a shoe factory or a garment factory . in general , we don ' t need a skilled worker . we need a disciplined worker , a worker willing to learn .
a . wages alone is not the biggest incentive . it ' s wages plus perks . we provide classes for them to learn in their free time . many workers like to learn cantonese and english as well . we also have karate classes , cooking classes . we have hired table tennis , basketball and yoga teachers to better their skills . we also host tournaments for volleyball , basketball , table tennis and badminton in our sport centre . since we are now making electric bicycles for europe , we also have a cycling team .
whatever the worker likes to do , we will try to find a teacher .

( ap photo / ng han guan )
q . where do you sell your products other than the u . s . market ?
a . canada , mexico . we ship to south america , central america . and lately we ' re making shipments to india .
a . at the moment , we do not do a lot of business in china . our product is more geared for the overseas market . we are starting to do some china business . we ( started ) selling window tablets in the china market using portals like jd . com . in china , the physical store is not a big thing . they all rely on the internet . so we need to do our product with different packaging that is more suitable for the internet . many of the streaming portals are not available in china . even youtube is not available . also , google is not available in china so we have to redo all our software .

( ap photo / ng han guan )
china is a very big country . we need to learn about the distribution channel in china . we ' ve been doing export market selling to the united states for the past 30 years . so although our factory is in china , selling in china is a brand - new market for us .
a . online is no . 1 in china . china skipped all the shopping mall phenomenon and they jumped right into internet selling . so in order to sell to china , you have to find the right website . you have to really get into the social network to promote your product . it ' s not the advertisements on tv that is the most important . it ' s the advertisement through social networking that is key in the selling of your products .
