Quiz: The Tail End
When it comes to branding commercial aircraft, the tail comes before the nose. The tailfin is the tallest part of the plane. It’s the last thing people on the ground see as the plane lifts off. And pretty much the only part they see when the plane is parked nose first at the gate. It is a flying billboard, which is why airline branding experts focus most of their attention on designing memorable graphics for the tail. See if you can match the airline with these tails.

PS3 Dominates Consoles in France
Since Christmas 2010, Sony’s PS3 console surpassed the Wii and Xbox 360 in volume and value.
With over 174,000 units sold between December 27, 2010 and April 10, 2011, the PS3 dominates the French market for home consoles. Anticipating by far Nintendo’s Wii (131,000 units over the same period) and the XBox 360 (107,000 units).
Market domination is obviously even greater in value since the Sony console is usually sold 300 euros against 200 for the Wii and some models of XBox 360.
In total, Sony announced that it sold 3 million PS3s in France and 50 million worldwide. Nintendo dominated the market of home consoles with the Wii until recently, thus it is difficult to maintain its leadership. And even if the market of Wii consoles in France remains the largest (nearly 6 million units sold to date), its sales is in continuous decline.

Their father Michael, aged 85, is still president of the group, which has been a giant of the world’s confectionery industry. He is the richest man in Italy, according to Forbes magazine.
Ferrero is today one of the giants of the sector, their turnover reached 6.6 billion euros in 2009-2010 (+4.3% yoy). It has 18 factories worldwide and employs over 21,700 people.
Bart Becht to Step Down
After spending more than a decade building Reckitt Benckiser Group into a household-products powerhouse, Chief Executive Bart Becht said he will retire later this year.
I will continue to be passionate about the business until August 31, he said on Thursday
The news surprised shareholders and drove the company shares down by 7.5%. The worry was visible in the market Thursday. In London Reckitt’s shares fell 251 pence to 3,115 pence. Reckitt’s steep decline sliced roughly $3 billion off the company’s value, which now totals $37 billion.
Becht will be succeeded by Rakesh Kapoor who has been with Reckitt since 1987 and currently sits on the group’s executive committee as executive vice-president of global category development.
