The simplest idea can make the best business
Babylicious was the first brand of frozen babyfood to launch in the UK and is now the latest producer in Europe. The idea behind Babylicious was simple, as a mother of 2 small children founder Sally Preston wanted to give me babies the best possible food, no salt, additive or fillers, just good quality food. She discovered the only way to do this was to make it herself as jars and cans were very heavily processed and tasted terrible. There was huge market opportunity to provide quality frozen food for babies, so she did it herself!

Should You Buy a Food Franchise?
If you’re thinking about buying a franchise, chances are you’ve considered one of any number of food franchises, and for good reason.

Ending poverty means abandoning charity and accepting reality
Benin Mwangi, who blogs about doing business in Africa, asked me recently: "should the discussion be about how to get the informal sector to become part of the formal sector or should it be how to cater to the informal sector?" This in an excursion into the morass of African poverty and development. The short answer is: neither; ending poverty has nothing to do with the informal sector.

About.com’s Martin Murray’s post “Non-Profit Organization Suing ERP Supplier” A Sign of the Times?
In a white paper that I had written in 2007 titled “SAP Procurement for Public Sector” I had highlighted how the challenges with failed ERP-centric initiatives extended beyond the public sector to include the private sector. The difference as one senior Colgate-Palmolive executive told me shortly after scrapping a failed program was that “unlike the public sector in which a failed initiative becomes front page news, private sector company ERP failures rarely make a blip on the media’s collective radar screen.” The lack of media awareness notwithstanding, the frequency of failures in the private sector is comparable to the number of setbacks that occur in the public sector.

HACCP - A State of the Art Approach to Food Safety
A number of U.S. food companies already use the system in their manufacturing processes, and it is in use in other countries, including Canada. The ISO body has published the new system as Food safety management system as ISO 22000: 2005 as Food safety management system - requirements, which cover all FDA requirements through various clauses of ISO 22000.

One of the most important challenges is the increasing number of new food pathogens. HACCP focuses on identifying and preventing hazards from contaminating food.
