Supply Chain Confidence A PI Q and A
The following is an interesting question I received from a Master of Science (M.Sc.) Business Technologies student who is working on her thesis “Measuring Confidence in Supply Chain Management System: An empirical approach.” Reader Question: My name is Diana Esparza, M.Sc.

Currently, I am working on my thesis proposal “Measuring Confidence in Supply Chain Management System: An empirical approach”.

Making Leadership Actionable: What We Are Learning and How We Can Use It
Much of the popular and academic literature on leadership has led to advice about what is required for effective leadership. This advice is usually flawed in that it does not provide guidance for how to learn to effectively apply the advice or because the advice is based on the practices of an individual in a specific context, a context that may or may not apply to the learner’s situation. An approach to leadership development based on seeing leadership as an emergent phenomenon, rather than just something that an individual does, is suggested.

Getting Smart A Buyers Guide to Market Research
Research extends the information available to you, and provides an important weapon in the battle to survive and prosper. Market research is available from a wide variety of sources, including market research firms, information services, advertising agencies, information brokers and information consultants. Some targeted research can be done in-house, but, in many areas, this is more expensive and less effective than outsourcing to an information services company.
Lesson #4: Never Underestimate the Power of Research
Ogilvy came from a background in research; in his early years he had worked for the world-renowned George Gallup Audience Research Institute, which he later called “the luckiest break of my life.” It was at Gallup that Ogilvy learned about research and its importance in advertising. In fact, research became so central to Ogilvy’s philosophy of creating advertising that when he opened his own agency in 1952, Ogilvy billed himself as Research Director.

Affordable Web Hosting
Affordable web hosting is easy to come by, per se. But unless you do your research, research, research, you never know what you’ll be buying into. Some of the worst horror stories I’ve had about hosting services have come from those companies charging the lowest rates out there. Read the fine print of any agreement. Chances are you’ll be getting exactly what you pay for.

Emotional Intelligence – The Hard Truth About Soft Skills
How are your people skills? Academic research has shown that people with high Emotional Intelligence are more successful in business and in life. Emotional Intelligence refers to how well you know yourself, your ability to effectively manage your emotions, and how well you interact with others. Emotional Intelligence is a critical competency for leaders. It is very common in technical fields for people to be promoted to management because they excelled as technicians without much regard for their people skills. Unlike IQ, Emotional Intelligence can be developed.

Keywords Research Tips
Keyword research in short is the process of identifying the words those buyers could be looking for. Every keyword that's missed during the keyword research is an opportunity gained by the competitor who has successfully incorporated the missing keyword1. So, it's necessary that our keyword research should always be a good as possible. Today search engine marketing has heavily changed the business process and has become an unavoidable tool for the marketers, and keyword research is an important part of the same.

Trouble with Personality Tests
Personality tests are commonly used for hiring in organisations. Personality tests attempt to measure a broad range of basic traits, such as the Big Five Personality traits or Emotional Intelligence. Although these may provide useful information on how to describe a person, research has repeatedly shown that they do little to predict how well a person will perform in a given job. Academic researchers are re-emphasizing what Chally reported over 30 years ago -personality tests are simply too broad to predict on-the-job performance. Chally, on behalf of the US Justice Department, found it necessary to research solutions well beyond the accuracy of this type of assessment; to identify and measure very precise, job-specific competencies, behaviours, and skills that have been scientifically shown to predict on-the-job sucess.

4 Power Networking Strategies for Successful Self Employed Women
Many of the women who work with me are shy. And so was I when I first left my “job job” and began networking. When I worked in the university setting, the only networking I did was at conferences where we’d share our curriculum and research findings with others… it didn’t feel like "selling”. When I left behind that “academic identity” 10 years ago, I knew it would be important for me to get out and meet people to share information about my career coaching services and to establish myself as an expert in this field that was new to me. I was quite nervous about this activity but recognized the value enough to talk myself into attending 3 different networking meetings each month. This week, I want to share what I learned with you about what works in networking.
