A "Weak" Consumer With Confidence!
When the strong Consumer Confidence numbers came out today,  it begged the question:  Do we really want consumers too confident?

Offshoring: A world of opportunity
Much like someone trying to watch their weight by adhering to the current diet fads, the divergent and seemingly contradictory viewpoints surrounding offshoring - or international outsourcing as it's also referred to - are sure to result in mass confusion and, ultimately, incorrect choices. What role does HR play and how can companies handle it more effectively?

Why Companies Die Young
I recently had a disturbing conversation with a close friend who has been employed by a Fortune 500 company for thirty years. Upon asking the question, “How are things at work?” this individual replied, “Not good.” The obvious next question was, “Why?”

The potential impacts of economic liberalisation on VET are twofold: change in incentives to invest in training and the availability of public funding for VET.
IV. A. Private Traders: THE ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
Mirroring its contributions to domestic economic activity, China’s private sector is in the forefront of the country’s external trade and investment expansion. However, its role in China-Africa economic relations has been much less appreciated, in part because there are no reliable data. Understanding China’s private enterprises (including those that are joint ventures and collectively owned) and their activities in Africa is important for assessing the evolution of trade and capital flows between China and Africa.
Loan amounts and loan management: Tenets of Micro-credit for Poverty Reduction
The following paragraphs will discuss some of the features which have been identified as best practices from lessons learnt in micro-credit programmes over the last two decades. These features have been developed over the years to make micro-credit accessible and manageable for the ‘poorest of the poor’, specifically women. Furthermore, it is through these features that it is expected that women should be empowered.

What can business and governments do to promote SMEs?
Poverty remains a major challenge to sustainable development, environmental security, global stability and a truly global market. The key to poverty alleviation is economic growth that is inclusive and reaches the majority of people. Improving the performance and sustainability of local entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which represent the backbone of global economic activity, can help achieve this type of growth.
African Economic Performance in 2004: A Promise of Things to Come?
Against a backdrop of sustained global growth and high commodity prices, Africa has experienced its best economic performance in many years. While recent economic performance is not merely driven by favourable external factors, African economies still lack proper “shock-absorbers” to withstand internal (e.g. drought and floods, political instability, HIV-Aids, etc.) and external (e.g. volatility of commodity prices and exchange rates) shocks alike. They remain strongly vulnerable. In this context, creating the conditions for the development of indigenous drivers of economic activity (starting with a thriving local private sector) is a top priority.

14 Characteristics of Top-Flight Salespeople
The Difference between The Best And The Also-Rans… As a consultant and trainer in sales and the sales process, I’m often asked the question, “What makes a top-performing salesperson?” As with most things in life, the answer can be summarised in just two words, Attitude and Activity. Attitude determines the difference between the best and the rest. The best don’t necessarily know more, they just do more and do it better and more frequently. Activity is the manifestation of their desire to succeed. Combined, they become Actitude - activity conducted with a positive attitude.

Why Sales Professionals Should Never Prospect
Prospecting is a monotonous, low output activity that sorts through hundreds or thousands of suspects to produce a handful of prospects. Sales professionals must never waste their time perfornming this activity to gain clients.
How To Write Articles - For Fun
Article writing is not a fun activity for most people, especially those who have to write every day for a living. In fact it can be a hard job. For people who have no confidence in their writing skills it seems impossible to have fun at this particular activity. Learning how to write articles for fun needs to be a fun activity in itself. That doesn’t mean that all writing will go smoothly and effortless. Putting effort into something can be fun too. In fact most people have the greatest amount of fun when they have to work really hard.
Training and the Cost Cutting Dilema during Tough Times
Most company executives decide to spend money on training because it's popular, especially when economic times are good. There is a view that it's “good," and it's also something that responsible leaders are “supposed to do” to prepare for the future. Unfortunately, training becomes the first activity to be cut when times get tough. There is also no objective measure that calculates the business case of return on investment for training. Actually, training, education and coaching should be the absolute last consideration when investigating cost reductions during difficult economic times. However, continued spending of money on training isn’t the only answer. Training alone will not produce the kind of results that training combined with coaching and education can produce.

How big is the 2011 oil price shock?
Each of the last five major downturns in global economic activity has been immediately preceded by a major spike in oil prices. Sometimes (e.g. in the 1970s and in 1990), the surge in oil prices has been due to supply restrictions, triggered by Opec or by war in the Middle East. Other times (e.g. in 2008), it has been due to rapid growth in the demand for oil.
