Casual Articles - Preparation: Your Company's Best Defense in Case of Catastrophe
Over the past five years an epidemic of rudeness has swept America. Here's how to perpetuate the disease.1) Ignore people. Don't return phone calls. Never answer the phone. Don't listen when people talk to you. Talk on your cell phone when with others, especially in restaurants or other public places. Don't acknowledge that others exist. The greatest insult that you can give someone is to ignore the person. If you excel at this skill you can skip the next four paragraphs.2) Show disrespect. Make fun of others. Assign stupid nicknames or deliberately mispronounce names. Make people wait for you. Laugh at other people's mistakes, struggles, and fears. Use sarcasm and cyn

Franchising is now exceeding over a Trillion dollars per year. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, franchising is the safest road to success for the new businessperson. Franchising is literally fraud free in the United States and the cases, which are purported as fraud by the FTC are generally completely bogus and merely used as public relations ploys thru creative writing tactics of prosecutors on behalf of competitors of franchise companies.Franchising is a proven business concept that originated in the United States over 100 years ago, first with Singer Sewing Machine Company and then with General Motors. During the last 45 years, franchising has exploded into t
What’s that, you say? Your business isn’t located in a city likely to be a target of either natural or manmade disasters. This may well be the case, but this doesn’t take in account that inexplicable chemical spill or train derailment that can happen on your doorstep or public utility failures, such as electrical power outages, brownouts or surges, which can unduly affect the daily operation of your business. Keep in mind, many nature disasters, such as blizzards, tornadoes and earthquakes, can strike with little or no advance warning.
So what’s a business owner to do? Well first, and foremost, you make sure your business has an up-to-date disaster plan. It’s been reported that as many as forty percent of small businesses fail to open their doors again after a major disaster. Many of these businesses were simply unprepared for a disaster; they hadn’t taken the time to prepare a backup plan to better insure the livelihoods of their employees or the continued satisfaction of their customer base.

According to the product life-cycle theory, almost any product passes five stages during its existence regardless the desire of manufactures and customers. These stages are birth, growth, maturity, decay and atrophy. To prevent the last two stages marketologists suggest improving the product in the early stages of its development.The results of the expert statistics show that 90% of the world innovations are nothing more product developments. And only the remaining 10% mean launch of new products and technologies. The Japanese are considered to have achieved the remarkable results in constant product development. An outstanding expert Masaaki Imai has generated the concept of

How do you know if all your efforts to do with measuring organisational performance are efforts worthwhile? Do you know what impact your measurement system is having on the very things it's there to help improve (which is organisational performance, in case it's not obvious)? What we're talking about here is measuring the performance of your performance measurement process.Yes, it probably feels a bit like your brain is bending back onto itself, but there are some very good reasons why measuring your measurement process is so worthy a cause. You can do things like:* better convince people that performance measurement is worth doing* improve your measurement proc

Recently, I attended a conference given at my local Chamber of Commerce. It was entitled, How to Bring Your Business to the Next Level. The reason I mention it is that the speaker covered several points that tie in with the 3 most common mistakes freelancers make, outlined below.1. Not Targeting a Market: I call this lack of freelancer focus. Do you drive without a destination? Probably not. Most of us know where we're going when we get in our cars, on the train, on the bus. We have a specific destination in mind.Because editorial and creative freelancing encompass such broad categories, it can be difficult to focus. Eg, writing. Huh? For what - magazin
When you begin to develop your company’s disaster preparedness plan, three areas should be given special consideration: human resources, physical resources, and business continuity. In devising a plan, as a business owner, you must carefully consider how a disaster might impact your employees, customers, the physical workplace itself, along with what procedures and policies would need to be in place to continue to conduct business if that disaster forces you to temporarily relocate to another site.
