...This fall, WIB members have been dashing around in neon pink t-shirts to promote their Intercollegiate Business Conference, which took place Oct.13th. But forget the shirt’s hue (color-gender association is so over).

Disney, says Gary Stibel, president and CEO of the New England Consulting Group, has been "brilliant" in focusing on young girls. "Historically, the marketing rules have said that up until a certain age girls and boys are the same," Stibel says. "That was true 50 years...
