Is It Just Me or is Business Getting Tougher?
Is it just me or is business getting tougher? Look around gas prices are rising and all the manufacturing jobs are going elsewhere? What should we do? The only thing certain about our economy today, is that it will look different tomorrow. How computers changed the economies of the 80's and 90's, today we deal with cheap foreign labor.The North American economy used to have an advantage in that we were well educated and technologically advanced.

Outsourcing IT - Is it the Best Option for your Organization?
Is there really a need to outsource your organization’s IT workings?

(4) Based on needs and budget, to what exten

When I first heard of the word "blog" years ago in the mid 90’s, I was puzzled as to why I did not hear it earlier, having been immersed in the English language for more that 4 decades!

Naturally, I reached for my half-a-dozen copies of dictionaries on the shelf to check for its meaning but I could not find one. The reason is simple.... the word "BLOG" simply did not exist in my dictionaries including the Oxford Dictionary!

A frantic search led me to Oxford Dictionary of Modern Slang that eventually gave me a clue. It says "blog noun An Internet website containing an eclectic and frequently updated assortment of items of interest to its author. 1999-. [Shortening of weblog.] So blogger, noun"

Not happy with this half-hearted and vague explanation, I ventured into the Web to do further "research".

Lo and behold! I've got some more meaningful citations. Below is a list of these.

The Need to Be Online
One can say that things seem to be more difficult for a manager, who deals with e-commerce, as any action taken must be made with speed and accuracy. But as the new economic rules show, speed and accuracy is considered to be a must for any type of company. This is the outcome of a very important shift that has happen to retailing. The power has gone to the buyer. Since competition and global markets have given to buyers more choices-more products/services to choose from, more ways to buy, and more access to information-they are more and more in control of both transaction and sales.

Vision, Feedback and Action – Three Meals a Day Keep the Corporate Doctor Away
Someone said that feedback is the breakfast of a champion. However, in today’s turbulent marketplace, surviving on breakfast alone is insufficient. You need three meals a day to keep the doctor away.In the corporate dietary system, you need vision for breakfast, feedback for lunch and action for dinner.
