| Article Title :: Back To Square One! |
| |
| If you look, see, hear and think you will learn.Sounds obvious but how many do it? I am a self confessed infoholic. My addiction is information on topics that interest me; world affairs/politics, business and sport. I am interested in ‘cause and effect’ so the net result is I read a lot.Not just novels like most people but what interests me. It’s amazing what you see, what it means and what you learn.Recently I came across two short articles in the same journal on facing pages and they said so much about why people fail in business and yet, do people ever learn?One article gave statistics on businesses failing from cash flow problems and the other was abo (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Evidence-Based Decision Making |
| |
| A rapidly spreading movement in the medical profession is evidence-based decision making. The business community has also begun to take notice. Pfeffer and Sutton’s recent “Harvard Business Review” article argues for evidence-based decision making in business management.Physicians using evidence-based decision making are committed to identifying, disseminating, and applying the latest research that is soundly conducted and clinically relevant.

| Article Title :: Expand or Contract - It's Your Choice |
| |
| I am often amazed at the efforts that many business leaders put into making themselves and their businesses smaller. Yes. You heard me right—making their businesses smaller. A major challenge threatens them and instead of finding the positive side and seeing the opportunity, they shrink from it and try to find a way to cut back somewhere to fill the gap.Take the current business climate in California. A quick survey of the Chambers of Commerce throughout the state will tell you their major focus is on getting legislators to pass laws to lower the cost for companies to do business.
