Velocity is hardly a term called to mind by today's Italy, hobbled as it is by a stagnant economy, failing infrastructure and nonfunctioning government.

"This notion of the consumer-electronics company," Kleisterlee says, is "of the past." These days, state of mind and body are increasingly what matters, Philips reckons. And both will influence shoppers' behavior to a greater degree. So for lifestyle, read products "that cater for those consumers interested in health and well-being." Take your alarm clock, for one. Instead of a loud buzzer jolting...
