Language has a grammar for communication. In other words, there is a form, and communication is only possible when society agrees on that form. Therefore, in communication, form is often more important than content. Different fields in society use different grammars and preferred language styles. For example, there are separate grammars and vocabularies used in law, and the same goes for marketing. This is especially common in advertising and public relations, where the form is usually more important than the content. In a world where focusing only on the form can seem showy, and emphasizing only the content can cause communication problems. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

If a New Zealand fisherman catches a seabream in New Zealand, he makes a profit of $9 per kilogram, but if a tourist catches it, $88 goes back to New Zealand. This is because to fish a seabream, the tourist has to spend money on flights, hotels, and all sorts of rentals. The opportunity cost and value-added will change as B2B becomes B2C. - Joseph's "just my thoughts"
