Today's Story Highlights

Beware of Wildly Inconsistent Online Shopping Rules
Before you sit down at your kitchen table and lose money shopping for
Christmas and holiday gifts, you'd be well advised to learn the rules of
the online shopping road. They can be very different from one vendor to
another, so shop carefully. Some companies do a great job with customer
care. Others don't. I have been both delighted and burned several times,
and I'd like to share some of my personal experiences to help you shop
more safely.

Samsung Floats Possibility of Split
Samsung has announced road map for a corporate restructuring that might
include splitting itself into two. The company has retained external
advisors to review the optimal corporate structure for its activities.
The review is expected to take six months. Depending on the findings,
Samsung may create a holding company structure and might list its shares
on additional international exchanges.

China's Business-Unfriendly Cybersecurity Stance
China's parliament earlier this month passed a law aimed at addressing
the country's concerns about hacking and terrorism, which has spiked
concerns among foreign businesses and human rights advocates. One
interpretation of the new law is that it only codifies China's existing
cybersecurity practices. However, 46 global business groups across a
variety of industries didn't see it that way.

Demandbase CEO: Finding the Companies That Should Be Buying From You
"Account-based marketing is really about marketing to the accounts that
are aligned with your sales team," said Demandbase CEO Chris Golec. It's
been done for years, but today there's a whole technology and practice
around being able to market to accounts at scale, and this wasn't
possible until about four or five years ago. It's a focused, targeted
marketing approach."
