From The Ashes Rose The Phoenix
Many businesses are playing defense to protect themselves from the downturn in the economy. How many of you are cutting muscle and not fat? Are you being too nearsighted about where your company is positioned and not looking for opportunities to increase market share? Is your team prepared to take on the business of failed competitors? Would you be able to handle that business if the opportunity should arise? Does the condition of your balance sheet and credit lines put you in a position to "buy out" a competitor for cents on the dollar? Get out your binoculars and start looking ahead and set a goal for where you want to be once this shakes out.

Technology Transfer through Training Spillovers
HRD activities conducted by the MNEs have proven to be important for host developing countries since domestic firms are more likely to face training constraints due to market failure. MNE training is also important since it is most likely to bring in the advanced skills and technologies to which domestic firms otherwise have no access. One important channel through which this technology may transfer from MNEs to domestic firms is the so-called training spillovers.
HRD Policies to Promote Training and Spillovers
The above assessment of selected past empirical evidence suggests that firms, in spite of large productivity gains, underinvest in training due to market failures such as credit market constraints, lack of information and labour turnovers. The underinvestment is even more acute among small- and medium-sized domestic firms that tend to have higher productivity gains from training compared to MNEs or large domestic firms. It has also shown that MNEs have numerous channels to improve HRD in host developing countries by training their own workers and facilitating training spillovers. This calls for policy measures to tackle market failures in training and to stimulate training spillovers, especially among domestic small- and medium-sized firms.

Top 5 Mail & Shipping Franchise Business Opportunities
Even in recession, the shipping industry sees no dip in profitability.

When the Fed Bails Out the BIG 3...Who Bails Out the Dealers?
The Senate and House got a jolt this week while debating whether to bail out the Big 3 when it was learned that we shed over 500,000 jobs in November. The possibility of additional job losses from the domestic auto industry became the main reason for rushing to approve a bail out. Weʼll call it “Job 1”, coining a phrase from Ford. During the wonder years of post 911 rebates, 0% financing, and high margin sales of pick-ups and large SUVʼs the domestic manufacturers started adding new dealership locations like drunken sailors, diluting the value of the existing locations, lowering their sales, raising their marketing expenses for a share of voice in the over crowded print and electronic media, while forcing additional inventory on all of the locations.

Watch out for the Talent Shortage Iceberg!
Sometimes in the midst of the current recession we forget that we have a looming talent shortage – and it will be here before we know it. You might even call it a looming Talent Shortage Iceberg! Take the shipping industry for example. Even as the rescission has reduced the volume of shipping in the last two years, shipping volume overall is up substantially compared to ten years ago. The number of tankers in the ocean, worldwide, rose 17% between 2001 and 2005 and container ships jumped by 30%. With this increase comes the need for talented deck and engineering officers-but the industry is already finding it hard to recruit qualified officers.
