Intel. They have invested in curriculum, educational equipment, infrastructure and
technical support to almost all countries where they have production facilities, including
Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, China, Malaysia, South Korea, India, Russia, Poland,
Ireland and South Africa. |

Should Your Business Consider Franchising?
| |
| If you are serious about building a substantial business you should benchmark your progress against global industry peers not just your local competition.
You will soon find that franchising offers the opportunity to build truly national and global businesses on a scale that your non-franchised competition just cannot match.
Many of the worlds most successful companies such as Coca Cola, Shell, Toyota, BP, Ford, Pepsi, General Motors and of course KFC and McDonald's have built domestic and global brands using franchising as a management and marketing tool far outstripping the enterprise value of their non-franchised counterparts.
A franchise network spanning national (and potentially international) markets offers better diversification and insulation from localised economic or competitive forces and early access to high-growth markets. |

What is your standpoint on cost cutting – especially essential expenses? Be careful, as your attitude towards this important issue might result in great success or huge losses… or even failure! |

Is the U.S. Government or a competitor in charge of the Congressional hearings involving Toyota
| |
| Today's Business Thought Leaders segment with author and industry expert Bill Michels was incredible. Of the several noteworthy observations Michels provided, his revelation that the current Congressional hearings regarding the Toyota recall has the Japanese manufacturer actually giving testimony before a competitor raises a number of red flags.
The moment that the U.S. Government became a majority owner of General Motors through its $30 billion “investment,” hearings such as the one involving Toyota are no longer arms length. In short, if a conflict arose in a judicial hearing where the judge and the defendant had a similar-type relationship to the one between the U.S. Government and Toyota, the judge would have to step down in the interests of justice.
