Survival Tactics
| |
| The giraffe is the largest mammal that gives birth while standing up. I don't speak "giraffe," but I can imagine what the baby giraffe must think when he bounces on the ground from that great height. He just left warm, cushioned quarters in which all his needs, comforts and security were provided. Now he finds himself bouncing off (comparatively speaking) hard, cold, unwelcoming ground. |

The Good CEO: The Early Years of Costco's Jim Sinegal

Its founder and CEO, Jim Sinegal, has been called the Sam Walton of the 21st century for his low-key style and seeming defiance of all things Wall Street.

Who is My Market Its Smaller Than You Think
| |
| Many designers believe that marketing the widest range of services to the largest possible group is the path to success. You’d rather be a generalist because you think you’ll get more business.

Foreign Investment in India
| |
| At present, India's GDP is USD 1.237 trillion, which makes it the twelfth-largest economy in the world at market exchange rates and fourth largest in purchasing power. In the late 2000s, India's economic growth has averaged at about 7.5% a year. A 2007 Goldman Sachs report has projected that "from 2007 to 2020, India's GDP per capita will quadruple, and the same will surpass the GDP of the United States of America before 2050." The country managed a reasonable economic growth of 6.1% during the first quarter of the current fiscal (2009) despite the global financial crisis. India's annual GDP growth is likely to accelerate to 7.2% in the next fiscal and further accelerate until reaching a pace of about 9% in the year 2012-2013. India is the seventh-largest country in terms of geographical area, the second-most populous country. |
