D: I'm uh Tim .
D: Um my function is the Marketing Expert .
A: Okay ,
A: thank you .
A: First a little about the project aim .
A: Uh the the the aim is to make a new remote control .
A: Uh maybe you have read uh read the website .
A: It's a very uh , yeah , very uh ambitious uh company .
A: They uh they wanna do something else .
A: I w
A: Uh there must be a new remote control .
A: Uh first of all uh it must be original , uh and trendy .
A: That's two things really uh close to each other .
A: But at the same time uh user-friendly .
A: And they have uh A: Yeah ,
A: that's uh very important uh for them .
A: Uh there are three stages .
A: There is a functional design .
A: So uh
A: what are we going uh to uh to do ?
A: What are we going to uh uh make f uh kind of functions in the remote ?
A: And why are we going to do it ?
A: Then the conceptual design .
A: How are going to do it ?
A: And that's uh really global .
A: Uh because at the detailed design , how , part two , uh we go uh to dig in uh really about how the the te the technical of If it's uh it's possible technical-wise .
D: A: Uh each stage is uh uh is broken up in two uh two stages , individual work and a meeting .
A: So it's uh it's very straightforward .
A: Okay ,
A: the tool training .
A: We have two smart boards . A: This one is for the presentations , the PowerPoint presentations or the Word presentation of whatever you uh you had .
A: Uh and this is uh only for uh drawing .
A: So uh
A: we uh must let it uh stand on this uh this programme .
A: This is called a smart board
D: Speaks for itself .
A: thing uh A: Yeah ,
A: it speaks for itself .
A: Um and as you uh may have heard , the documents in the shared folder uh can be uh showed on this screen . Not in y the the My Documents .
A: So if you wanna show something , put it in the shared folder .
A: Uh This uh is very straightforward , with the save , the print , the undo , the blank , the select , the pen .
A: Well ,
A: I don't uh gonna explain it all ,
D: A: because I think you know uh how it works .
A: Um we must not forget uh everything we draw on here , uh all must be saved .
A: We we may not delete anything .
A: So uh if you have uh drawn something , save it .
A: Never delete it .
A: That's a very important uh thing .
D: A: Okay . Uh
A: little uh little kinda exercise to uh know each other .
B: D: A: At uh the white board on the left . Every uh every one of us uh must draw our favourite animal ,
C: A: and uh tell uh tell us why we uh had uh chosen that animal .
A: Uh important is that we use different colours , and uh different pen widths . Widths . Widths .
D: I have a question .
A: Yes ?
D: Um this exercise , um did the company board tell you to do it ,
A: Yeah .
C: D: or uh did you just make it up yourself ?
A: No no no .
A: It's uh it's uh  I I
D: It's part of the introduction ,
A: I must do it .
A: Yeah , yeah , yeah .
D: okay .
A: 'Cause we uh really don't know each other ,
A: and uh it's kinda new .
A: So getting used to each other , we can uh have a little fun then ,
A: before we uh dig in really to the hard stuff .
D: Okay . A: That kind of thing .
A: Would you start with drawing your uh favourite animal ?
D: Um , yeah .
D: I don't know really how it works .
D: But maybe you can show us first ?
A: Okay , okay .
A: Yeah , okay .
A: Drawing goes with uh this thing .
A: Do not touch your hand on uh this little uh thingy here .
A: That's uh important .
D: A: So hold it uh like this .
B:  D: You g you get electrocuted or A: Yeah , kinda . C: D: A: So , um A: You must p p uh push a little uh Good .
A: Because A: And uh wait uh wait a few seconds .

A: C: A: Okay .
A: It's a dog .

B: we had a dog , a few years ago .
D: Uh , it's p
A: Had a dog ?

B: And and it , B: yeah ,
B: when it died we didn't get a new one or something .
A: Ah .
D: It's pretty good uh B: But uh C: A: You have an artistic uh inner middle .

A:  B: Uh a Graphical User Designer , so A: C: Hmm .
B: Hey .
D: Think you uh picked the wrong uh function . Wrong job .
A: B: Oh .
D: B: No . Can work together . Ah colour .
A: So I think you can see it's real uh really a easy programme to use . Not difficult at all .
D: Wha
B: Well ,

A: Okay ,
A: thank you . C: D: That's enough ,
B: D: thanks . A: Janus ? The last one ?

B: Yeah .
C: Uh thanks .
D: I wonder .
A: Yeah .
C: A: After a cat , a turtle and a dog .
D: A: I think he's gonna draw an elephant . B: C: I figure I should do something like that ,
C: but I'm gonna do something much more difficult .
A: D: A: Uh-oh .
B: Uh-oh .
B: Oh ,
B: he is the artistic design .
A: C: D: I'm gonna design a remote uh remote control animal . B: Remote control animal .
C: Exactly . Uh A: D: Oh . A: D: Sorry .
B: Well
B: with the interface , it might be easier to ha to draw here and display there uh .
D: Yeah .
A: D: That that might be easier .
D: But at the other hand , uh a pen like that is easy to hold in your hand ,
D: and A: No .
D: I think it's easier to draw .
A: Better to draw with a with D: Yeah . With a pen than with a mouse mouse .
B: Than on the , with B: Yeah ,
B: I m I mean like uh like on here , drawing drawing uh . And then displaying on screen , but A: C: D: Mouth .
D: Oh , okay .
D: Yeah .
D: W with this paper it's too mu too expensive . A: But what is he uh ?
B: Too expensive , yeah .
A: Is it a rabbit ?
C: Yes . D: A: Do you have a rabbit at home ?
C: No .
D: It's a rabbit with uh broken legs ? B: A green rabbit .
C: No . A: Is it a white rabbit f
A: It's the white rabbit from The Matrix .
C: Yeah , exactly . A: Okay , then yeah .
B: There , the g white green rabbit .
C: So .
B: He's a little bit stoned there . C: C: Uh I figured this is a pretty b good impression of a rabbit .
D: Yeah . It will do .
C: Uh uh Uh well .
A: Okay .
A: Finishing touch
A: and then we're going further .
B: D: Project Manager ? Uh A: Yeah ?
C: Where does the pen go ?
C: Just uh D: Have you been uh counting the time ?
A: Yeah , a little . D: Okay .
D: Let's go on then .
A: Well ,
A: I think the dog is the the most uh artistic .
C: Uh I figured the rabbit was actually the most uh impressive . D: A: Don't choose for youself .
C: Oh , sorry . A: That's selfish .
A: Okay ,
D: It's pretty abstract .
A: now we're gonna dig into the to the serious stuff .
A: Uh the selling price for the remote will be uh twenty five Euro ,
A: and the production cost uh may not be more than uh twenty and a half Euro .
A: So uh
A: from my point of view , I don't think it's uh gonna be very uh very high tech , high definition , uh ultra modern uh kinda remote , for twelve uh fift uh twelve and a half Euro .
D:  A: Uh the profit we must make with uh the new remote is uh fifty million Euro .
A: So that's a lot .
A: We have to sell uh a lot of uh B: Yeah ,
B: how much is it ?
D: Like how much ?
B: Hundred million uh remotes or something ?
A: Uh I think uh w when the selling price is twenty five , uh uh you got two million , two million remotes .
B: Oh yeah .
C: Twenty million .
C: Two million , oh yeah , two million . Yeah .
A: But our marketing range is uh , market range is international .
A: So we have uh virtually the whole world we can sell uh
A: we can sell our r remotes to .
A: At least that uh countries which have uh a television .
D: Yeah .
A: Um So
A: now it's time uh for us to uh going uh to discuss a little uh things .
A: You can think about uh experience with a remote control uh yourself , at home .
A: What you think might be uh a useful uh new feature .
A: What uh what can distinguish our new trendy remote control from all the others .
A: Um so uh
A: let's uh let's uh discuss a little .
A: I'm gonna join you at the table .
A: Well
A: what what's the most uh important thing at a remote control ?
B: Um well
B: I think the most important thing of a remote control is that you can switch channels .
B: And my opinion is you should keep it as basic as possible . Uh A: Okay .
A: So not a not a remote control who uh uh which can uh can be used for television and a D_V_D_ and radio
A: and Or just only D: Yeah . I think so .
D: Uh but I have some points .
D: Can I show them on the on the big screen ? Maybe ?
A: If you have them on uh I can uh D: Yeah . Yeah , I can find Uh .
A: Okay .
A: Oh ,
A: in case you want it This is a dead kind of fly . Between the the the , yeah , the the uh B: D: Screen ?
A: Yeah , be The screens .
D: Okay .
B: Is it possible to open pen drawings in this uh on this screen ?
A: No no no .
A: Only A: All the drawings go there , at the left uh B: Uh but um which A: B: The ones we made on the A: Oh , that pen drawings .
A: Uh no ,
A: I think uh when it is uh in Word and you have saved it in the Shared Documents folder , you can show it there .
B: Oh , only in Word ,
B: okay .
A: Yeah .
D: Okay ,
D: I have some uh points from marketing point of view .
A: Yeah .
D: Um just the standard thing li things like uh intuitive , uh small , fairly cheap .
D: Uh it's pretty cheap , twenty five Euros .
D: Uh brand independent . Um I think , it doesn't have to matter uh which brand your T_V_ or other thing is . Um A: Yeah .
A: Okay .
A: Five minutes .
D: Five minutes ?
D: Okay ,
A: Yeah .
D: I'll wrap it up quickly .
D: Um I personally think it has to be multi-purpose .
D: Uh most of the remote c uh remote controls are uh just for one purpose .
A: Yeah .
A: Yeah .
D: And uh by making it multi-purpose , it uh has a new feature , adds a new feature to the market ,
D: and distinguish from uh from current products .
A: Mm-hmm .
