Minimum wage – good or bad for business?

Interesting David Levy piece in the current issue of Institutional Investor. Here is the money ‘graf(s):
Feed In Tariff Remains Unchanged
On coming to power, both the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives claimed that they would be the Greenest Government ever. Now you might think that given the record of previous governments, this would be one of the easier targets any government had ever set itself.
Global Business Requires Healthy Dose of Local Alliances, Thinking
It's wonderful to see how indignant innocent little Google can become when someone out-hacks, out-snoops them. For crying out loud don't the folks who did that understand that providing information is the way Google makes its money??? If that weren't bad enough, Eric can not only not sit in on Steve's board meetings where some hot new ideas must have been discussed but now Steve doesn't even like Eric's company motto -- man is nothing sacred? On the Internet the answer is no! Your every keyclick is followed by someone -- yes even ours !!!

Forex Trading - Trader Psychology
Professional athletes are often told by their coaches that their attitudes on the field can affect whether they win or lose. That's even more true in Forex trading. It sounds like the standard motivational speech, but having the right frame of mind can definitely influence your trading results. There are many aspects of Forex trading that are outside the investor's control. Forex market participants number in the millions - traders for the world's largest banks, huge governments and individuals just like you. Unlike stocks, even the big traders have a tiny effect on exchange rates.

The Social Value of Business
Not so long ago the idea that business should have a social value was seen an anathema.
You Really Want To Help The Poor? Get Rich!
Even though over 75% of all our taxes are paid by only 1% of our citizens, the tax revenue received for the express purpose of helping others greatly pales in comparison to the voluntary philanthropy of the wealthy 1%. And as stated earlier, these charitable funds are specifically targeted to a needy organization, hospital, or other cause, allowing the money given to actually be used by the recipients, instead of wasted in bureaucracy. Therefore, if you really care about helping the poor, get rich! Stop relying on your tax dollars to go the the people who need it most. Once you build your wealth, you can allocate your desired amounts to help those you wish to help. How do you get rich? Well, first you need to think differently....
Autonomy A Key Element in Sustainable Sales Training
Take a quick review of your sales training material or programs? Is there any learning objective about autonomy? Do you want you salespersons to be accountable? So how are you building this internal sales attitude?
Bad Business Profits Are Not the Way To Increase Sales
Did you ever think some business profits could be bad? Profit is supposed to be a good thing. However, during down economic times or when businesses choose not to innovate, the proliferation of bad profits is everywhere.

ETFs Signal Economy Bottom
The proliferation of ETFs has long been talked about and now there is basically an ETF for just about any investing situation you can think of. There is now a focus on ETFs that trade on non-US exchanges and in non-US dollars. And let’s not forget the leveraged ETFs which are also looking to get in on the act. Could this rise in the number of ETFs that are shifting the focus away from the US actually be telling us that we are near a bottom in the economy?
China & Russia Gang up on the Dollar!
Russia and China tag-team to take advantage of a weakening dollar. While I hate it that there is such a “disdain” out there for the buck…I must say, I have to agree with China’s concerns.

Article #6 Exhausted After Work With No Time For Family or Yourself?
Is it the governments’ fault that you have to work so hard? Is it because the economy failed you, that you have no money for the basic necessities of life? Or is it the financial education we never got in school, that puts the country in so much debt and we the people have to pay?
What Is WRONG With Web 2.0
The Internet is a global network of computers that communicate with each other using a number of different protocols where each one was designed with a different purpose in mind. The most well-known is the one used by the World Wide Web called the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP.) This protocol allows our computers to retrieve documents written in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and display them inside the window of a program we call a "browser."
The ADVANTAGE Of Object Oriented Software
We've probably heard of object-oriented software and the advantages it provides over other methods of software development. However unless we've done some computer programming we're probably none the wiser about its advantages or even what it is. And if we've done some programming we may still wonder whether object-orientation provides any advantages at all or simply makes things more complex.
Don't Accept The Big Bad Economy
If you keep reading about the bad economy and you keep telling everyone how bad it is, you’re allowing yourself to have a bad economy and to perpetuate that it is okay to struggle. The media will do enough of that — don’t help them.
Green Thinkers Meet in Brussels
Much of the world – especially Europe – is even more interested in “going green” than the US. The “Clean Tech” forum in Brussels on April 29, 2008 brought together representatives of business, governments and academia.

Make Your Blog a Destination, Not a Bump in the Road
Social media has been billed as the greatest thing that ever happened for business. Where else can you set up your show table and hawk your goods -- products/services -- to everyone in town. But you\'re not really interested in reaching everyone and frankly they\'re not all that interested in you. Nope you\'ve probably got a few thousand or if you\'re really lucky 10s of thousands of people you want to/need to communicate with on a regular basis to share information about your organization, its plans/programs/products and keep them informed about activities, ideas, goals. Those are some of the fundamental reasons - and being an industry thought leader is one -- you want to produce a blog.

3.1 The public sector: Training priorities, resources and reorientation
"While there is long history of poverty-focused training in developed industrial economies, it is still relatively rare in the large majority of developing countries where most of the poor live" (Malik, 1996:46). This seems particularly ironic given that most of the world's poor live in developing countries. The following discussion looks at why public sector training priorities continue to favour non-poor groups. We shall focus in particular on the design of poverty reduction programmes, overall resource availability and competing claims over training resources from other sectors and groups.

A Limited Impact on Private Sector Development
Since the beginning of the process in 1990, the number of privatisations through public flotation has been only 4 per cent of total transactions.

Home Based Business Tax Incentives
Home based business has tax incentives that can help you reduce the income tax you have to pay. Most governments offer tax incentives for people who work at home. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to pursue alternate income generating enterprises. The tax advantages will vary somewhat between governments but generally most incentives are available for traditional business as well as the home entrepreneur. Home based tax advantages are also available in most instances. When the economy is in trouble, entrepreneurship flourishes. Governments recognize the value contributed to sagging economies by owners of a home based business.

EMPLOYMENT LAW INDIA
The object of the employment laws in India is social welfare legislation protecting the employees, protecting their contentment and regulates situation of crisis.
