Lesson #3: Management Means To Inspire Creativity
“From a management standpoint, it is very important to know how to unleash people's inborn creativity,” said Morita. “My concept is that anybody has creative ability, but very few people know how to use it.” Morita created one of the world’s largest multinational corporations but he did not do it alone. Indeed, over his fifty-year career, Morita became one of the most outspoken businessmen for sound management principles, of which his were largely based on Japanese traditions.

Lesson #4: Leadership Means More than Just Being Loud

Lesson #3: Engage with Your Employees
In 1886, Heinz returned from a trip to Germany. It was an eye-opening journey for more reason than one. Along the way, Heinz had acquired a myriad of different business management ideas that he could not wait to get back to America to begin implementing and experimenting with in his own company.

Advantages of 5 'S' Lean Manufacturing
The 5 S seem so obviously important, many people make the mistake of concentrating on the individual terms as though these were some kind of good luck charm.

Recession - What Recession??
According to the media and the government we are heading into the worst recession for nearly 20 years.

Just In Time
"Just In Time" is a factory warehousing idea that has roots in Japanese efficiency practices. It used to be that factories would warehouse the things they need to produce their products. Because of the timelines involved they might have three, six or even twelve months' supplies sitting in warehouses. By having inventory on hand factories could insure regular production schedules. They would not have to shut down production because they didn't have some necessary item.

Micro Entrepreneurs Need to Go Global

As “micro entrepreneurs” who own small businesses with 0 to 10 employees, we may not think globalization has much to offer us.

Writing Skills Atrophy Among Copycats, And Do-It-Yourself Business Communication Marketing
One of the best business communication marketing moves I ever made was sending out a monthly newsletter to current and prospective clients. I say that because it's a natural form of self-promotion minus obnoxious hype. You get your name out there -- with a lot of the keywords that attract search engines -- and you give readers an inkling of what you can do for them. Its value lies in an almost nonexistent "nag quotient." Far too often, I get insistent, "look at me!," "have I got an introductory offer for you!" emails from search engine optimization firms, online degree factories, "experts" in attracting government contracts, weight loss specialists, you name it. Not a one adds an iota to my knowledge of what they offer. Hype is what it is. But a newsletter that gives practical advice is truly effective business communication.

The economic implications of global remittances for SMEs
Immigrant entrepreneurs (most of them Micro-enterprises and SMEs are also ‘social actors’, who participate actively in transnational activities.
