Why every business needs to consider generational differences
| |
| It turns out that different generations of employees respond to very different management approaches and incentives. Likewise, different generations of consumers respond differently to different marketing messages. Four generations are common in the workforce and consumer market today, and it is important to understand each. This article is indebted to the work of University of Illinois’s Extension Program and their research on engaging generations. |

Mobility as a Driver for Economic Development: Tanzania Case Study
| |
| As economic growth and industrialization accelerate and livelihoods and incomes improve, so the demand for mobility increases. However, in much of the developing world, demand for mobility solutions to drive economic growth continues to outpace supply, while paradoxically the growing number of vehicles and other mobility solutions has not been matched by improved infrastructure. Business is stepping up efforts to understand and address the sustainable mobility issues being faced by developing economies. |

5.2 Is it factor accumulation or total factor productivity that drives growth in Africa?: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| To investigate the link between growth and diversification, it was important to
first quantify the contribution of TFP to economic growth. This section analyses
the sources of growth for African countries using the standard growth accounting
method, making it possible to disaggregate the shares of growth contributed by TFP,
capital and labour. Growth in output is the sum of the growth in capital, labour
and TFP. Capital accumulation is an essential element in the growth process, as it
enlarges the economy’s capacity to produce. Increases in labour or labour force have
traditionally been considered a positive factor in stimulating economic growth. |

3.2 Investing in jobs and the community: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| Spending on infrastructure represents about 20 per cent of total investment
in developing countries, and from 40 to 60 per cent of public investment,
according to the World Bank. A reorientation of policies on
infrastructure investment to ensure that technically viable and cost-effective
employment-intensive options are used speeds the reduction of poverty by
generating productive and decent employment. The challenge is to develop
the appropriate mix of capital- and employment-intensive investment techniques
according to each country’s needs and resources. |

Three Sure Signs That Your Business Will Run Out of Cash – And What To Do About It
| |
| You can have a profitable business and still fail. In fact, the number one reason for business failure is under-capitalization – running out of cash. As most business owners know, profits do not equal cash flow. It takes cash to invest in infrastructure, lay the foundation for future growth, and build capacity. Much of these cash requirements show up on the cash flow statement and balance sheet, but not on the income statement. This article reveals three sure signs that your business may be heading for a cash crisis, and offers four ways to manage cash flow properly. |

Consistently Grow Revenue at Record Levels – Article 1 of 2
| |
| There are very few CEOs that are not concerned with sales growth. Ninety-five percent of CEOs that I have spoken with this year described their sales growth as follows:
A. Overall sales are below last year.
B. Overall sales are about the same as last year.
C. We are growing, but our growth rate is slower than that of our top competitors.
D. Our growth rate is slower than last year.
E. Our growth rate is not where we want it to be.
While this may not be a surprise, you’ll be interested to know that the solutions are easier than you think. Even more fascinating is that many companies are meeting sales targets that have been set extremely below potential. |
