Now, New, Next: A blog by Christopher Meyer

 

 
Department of Behavioral Economics  

I'm at the Milken Institute Global Conference, Shaping the Future. It's Davos-scale, 3,500 people, dominantly financial, though laced with energy types and health and medical people (the Institute is trying to do for global warming what their Faster Cures approach did for prostate cancer [lower death rates by 20%]).  More on this conference in later posts.

 

Now though, consider this: last year, the 3,100 people who attended accounted for $4.5 trillion under management. That means every pair of Tanino Crisci's walking down the hall by the sponsors' tables averaged about $150 million of financial decision-making power. Which sponsors get the most attention?  The financial institutions? Nutrition companies? Real estate?

 

The ones giving away shiny pens.

Chris, <br>This actually makes perfect sense. I'm sure you have read Influence, by Robert Cialdini, but if not, it's worth it....if only to remind all of us learned business types that we are animals first and people second. The shiny pen example is a perfect enactment of the social psychology principle of reciprocity: a gift begets a gift (even if the first gift is a pen and the 'return gift' is attention.<br>Thanks for the (instructive) giggle. <br>Sara Wedema

(Here it is in normal prose): Chris- This actually makes perfect sense. I'm sure you have read Influence, by Robert Cialdini, but if not, it's worth it....if only to remind all of us learned business types that we are animals first and people second. The shiny pen example is a perfect enactment of the social psychology principle of reciprocity: a gift begets a gift (even if the first gift is a pen and the 'return gift' is attention.
