According to The Economic Times: “To err is human, but in the world of business, forgiveness is a virtue that is seldom encountered. Especially when a single mistake can push a company to the brink of bankruptcy and possibly closure. It’s surprising then that business schools rarely uphold examples of corporate mistakes while teaching management theory.

As W. Clement Stone once said: "Events tend to recur in cycles." We see evidence of this in nature, in many types of mathematical numbers, and through the business cycle. A number of economists, analysts, and consumers claim that a return to the gold standard, to their "honest money" as they call it, would insulate them from the problems they see in our conventional paper-based currency. Financial leaders dismiss metal-backed currency. A return to gold standard will not occur on their watch. However this debate doesn't matter anymore because these people are getting what they want. Instead of waiting on governments to legislate them their gold-money -- the market is providing it for them.

After three years of modest government advertising, Ontarians are now being inundated with health care and education success stories on television, radio and print media. Just the air time alone for television ads has cost taxpayers $4.5-million to this point.

In the "Me First" era of the 1980s, there was very little worry for ethics in the business world, and you would have searched long and hard to find a university that dealt seriously with the need for ethics in its business school curriculum.

Superb! Even in a world saturated with shallow superlatives and heavy with hyperbolic horse manure, few terms fit more precisely the qualities of Hyundai's redesigned 2007 Accent hatchback.

Taking pleasure in another's misfortunes is an unpleasant human characteristic encapsulated in the German word schadenfreude. It's an attitude one would prefer not to discover, let alone to nurture, in oneself. Yet...Toyota's latest problems push me very close to it.

Give me a break! Thats what Id have told you even a couple of months ago, if youd suggested I buy a Hyundai not to mention what Id have said a few years ago.
But that, as they say, was then and this is very much now. In the interim, Hyundai the little Korean company that just grew and grew has really come of age.

Consumerism is rampant, it's said, but less commonly remarked is that consumers - mere fodder, too often, for the mills of manufacturers, distributors and retailers - are getting the short and defective end of many a hi-tech stick.
Retailers seem not to care. Why should they, they doubtless ask themselves, if consumers aren't bright or energetic enough to do anything about it, to demand better, to go elsewhere if morality and money don't secure better treatment.

In lighter moments I have, on many occasions, amongst friends and with family or with business associates, taken to repeating the following adage: "I only eat what I kill." Any professional sales person that earns their living based on success or commission will be able to relate.

The recent case between Air Canada and WestJet demonstrates that a company may go to great lengths to acquire the confidential information of a competitor. When dealing with confidential information, the age-old adage applies: "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". An expert in this legal area is Ralph Kroman, a partner of the Toronto based law firm of WeirFoulds, LLP. Despite what they may think, the transportation industry has lots of trade secrete and know how. Management possess many routes and techniques unknown to their competitors.

A massive shift in economic power is under way. A tenfold surge in high-quality Chinese imports at below US manufacturing costs is changing the landscape. In North America, the message is loud and clear--cut your price at least 30% or lose your customers.

With the nice weather upon us, we seem to fall into this mindset that the bad guys are in hibernation. Winters over, the coast is clear, so lets throw open all the doors and windows. A burglary isn't going to happen to me, it's just too nice outside!

There was a break-in at an apartment building. The residents couldn't figure out how the thieves penetrated the security. There were no signs of forcible entry and the apartment owners ruled out the culprit as being a building key in the wrong hands.

How many more cars are the bad guys going to steal? How may more homes are thieves going to add to their roster of conquests? How many more headaches are we going to suffer before we finally realize that we do have a choice. A choice that may mean shifting from reverse to drive in the common sense department.
