Psychology By Any Other Name
I love the book Nudge-the content's pretty good, the title even better! But I hate-literally hate-the title of the genre. Namely, "behavioral economics."
One Economist to Rule Them All? Really? Do We Have To?
Last night on TV Ontario I participated in a roundtable discussion about economists’ culpability in the current financial mess, as well as about its potential for doing anything useful as we try to get out. On the one side, you had Ken Rogoff, arguing somewhat in favor of economics’ continuing credibility. On the other side you had Dan Ariely, arguing against orthodox economics, but in favor of its behavioral variant.

Business Opportunity Blossoms as Canadian Recession Starts to Recover
Business opportunity, that can be built from home, blossoms when economic instability affects larger corporations. The Canadian economy is starting to show signs of recovery. Economists acknowledge the small economic gains that could bring about recovery. Canada has not experienced the massive layoffs that has impacted workers in the USA. Work from home has lower overhead costs which gives entrepreneurs a slight edge when they are competing for their market share with a home based business opportunity.
Innovation, Mainstream on Different Time Schedules
CES is always great to see and immerse yourself in all of the new toys, the new potential...the fresh start! It takes us awhile to look closely (behind the curtain) as to what the year and next five years have to hold. But this past year everyone was bemoaning the fact that the U.S. was behind the curve, lost the recipe for success and the future. Look at the CES stuff and where did it come from? Everywhere! We (and we mean all we) multitask, work virtually without borders pulling the best ideas, the best talent from EVERYWHERE to create solutions, solve problems. Only governments want "bragging rights." Companies and all of the wes want products, services, capabilities to sell.

The Shapes That Model Retail
There has been a tremendous amount of discussion by economists and government experts in regard to the type of recession we are in, as well as the possible ways we could come out of it. There are varied opinions and speculation as to where things go from here. This is pretty clearly demonstrated in the different models, or 'shapes', that the recovery might take, which have come to be characterized by various letters of the alphabet. Although Economists may track and analyze a number of economic issues and trends that would also impact retailers, it is from an aggregate level. So the question is, what will the economic recovery look like at a place where all the trends come together at once - such as in your own company’s financials?

Obama Stock Analyst Turned Currency Analyst
China's calling for a super reserve currency as the Fed and Treasury stack on trillions of dollars in US debt. While I don't think China will get their wish for a new global reserve currency anytime soon, I feel their pain. Once foreigners stop buying our debt, we're in big trouble!

Perfect Vacation Opportunities at All Inclusive Luxury Resorts
Before deciding on where you want to stay for your Caribbean getaway, look into all inclusive luxury resorts. Yes, they may come with a higher price tag than most luxury resorts, but often, the price is well worth it when you think about having to put money away for food, drinks, gratuity, and excursions. In fact, many economists studying the travel industry state that pre-paying for everything ensures your vacation is more enjoyable because you do not need to continuously fret about how much money you need to take with you for your vacation and how much you are spending while there. Vacations are a time of relaxation and thinking about how much money you are spending during your vacation can be stressful. Avoid the hassle and look into booking your vacation at all inclusive luxury resorts.
Travel Agent Programs
The travel industry is a fast moving market that has increasing sales every year and most economists suggest that the market will only continue to skyrocket in the coming years.

The success in this market is turning many hardworking people into successful online travel agents.

Learn How To Price Your Products & Services
Some businesses don't have to worry about pricing because there is a market price for their goods or services that can't be modified, such as the price of developing a role of 35-mm color film at a Photo franchise shop, for example. But most businesses have to decide how to price their goods or service and whether it will be lower, the same as, or higher than the market price.
