MAXIMIZING RESULTS OF A BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS CAMPAIGN
With rising commodity prices, transportation/shipping costs, and dwindling capital access, chances are that you are asking your business–to-business customers to feel your pain in the form of price increases. And chances are good that your customers are starting to push back by reducing orders and lengthening the time they pay your invoices. While this is a basic business problem, you can help mitigate the potential rift in your customer relationships by increasing your communications to customers. Here are some recommendations.
4.2.2 Training provision for women
The identification of women's training needs has often been flawed because "women are rarely treated as knowing what they need" (ibid: 30). The available evidence tends to show that poor women in most developing countries are usually most interested in skills training that meets their own immediate 'practical gender needs' as opposed to longer term, "strategic gender needs" that directly tackle the basic underlying causes of female subordination (see Moser, 1989).

Happiness Starts At The Workplace
Is there a way we can convince ourselves that we are happy? How about the pressures of personal, family, and work pressures? Which of these contribute the biggest pressures on us? The problem here seems to be that the time we spend at work is in average twice the time we spend with our families and friends, and that the pressures we suffer from in the workplace continues to take hold of us even after we leave the workplace. Thus, our personal life is both affected and controlled by our work life.
5.1 Determinants of diversification in Africa: Economic Report on Africa 2007
Diversification and policy variables constitute a two-way process in that diversification not only influences policy outcomes, but is itself influenced by policy variables. This proposition naturally leads to the search for those economic and non-economic policy actions that are likely to affect the level and rate of diversification in a country. What evidence is there that links economic and non-economic variables with national capacity to diversify?
HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND ATTRACTING INWARD FDI
One of the characteristics of rich industrial economies is the availability of a workforce with a high level of human capital. Whether human capital has been the key driver of economic prosperity or vice-versa is still a matter of debate. Nevertheless, long time series trends in educational attainment and economic growth during the last century indicate that HRD and economic prosperity went hand in hand10. Some developing countries followed similar trends in human capital and economic growth. What was distinctive about these developing countries is that they appeared to have realised large economic benefits in attracting MNEs into host economies, and have thus mobilised inward FDI to attain rapid economic growth.

Managing Marginality The Internal Consultants Dilemma
Internal and external consultants use many of the same techniques and tools, do similar work, but face very different challenges. Internal consultants work in a unique position. Their job role is to consult to the organization for which they work. It is not easy to be, at the same time, a part of an organization and function as detached and independent. Each position on the consulting continuum places different pressures on the internal than the external, making them either more or less a part of the organization. Couple with those pressures that the internal has a boss whose role is even more clearly linked to the organizational structure, politics, and rewards structure, and you have a set of forces effectively pulling the internal in different directions. Managing this position becomes paramount to success for the internal.
The productivity problem...
Today's small business owners are complaining about time-related pressures more than ever, saying that there's simply no way possible that they could EVER complete everything that's expected of them.
The Small Business Owner’s Conundrum
In the current economic climate, small business owners understand that under-performing is not an option. Not if they want to survive, that is. They constantly face situations that call for skills or experience they may not possess on their own. Add to this the fact that small business owners often wear far too many hats and face a unique set of pressures that only they can fully appreciate.

Some Things Are Easier For Your Business in a Recession
If your business is feeling the impact of the economic downturn, think differently about how you could take advantage of the current economic circumstances. Some things are definitely more challenging, but others might actually be easier in these tough economic times.
Leaders Inspire by Example
It's when times are toughest that everyone most clearly sees authentic leadership. This is when much-repeated claims like "our people are our most important assets" ("leaderspeak") are proven true, or just so much hollow rhetoric. How managers handle economic downturns and sudden cost-reduction pressures, for example, speaks volumes about their leadership - or lack thereof. If an organization has strong leaders who truly care about people and want to build long-term trust, layoffs are always the very last, desperate step. Such leaders operate from core values of partnership and participation. They don't look at people within the organization as "heads," "FTEs (Full Time Equivalents)," "warm bodies," or faceless "human resources" to be acquired and disposed of like assets on a balance sheet.
