Big corporations spend millions of dollars on creating a recognizable brand and protecting it via trademarks and copyright. If branding is so important to big corporations should it also be important to small business and the sole proprietor?I would argue that branding for a small business should be way down the priority list for the sole proprietor.If you are a sole propritor, your brand is you - your personality, your face, your style, your selling skills. Your custome
So what exactly IS outsourcing?
Simply put, outsourcing is the practice of subcontracting various jobs to outside of the country that you live in.
The first question most people would ask is, "What are the advantages of sending jobs overseas?"
Well, the answer to that question isn't a simple one because it depends on who you're talking about. See, outsourcing is good for some people and bad for others. So just who gains and who loses out?
Let's start with the people who make out. The companies themselves are at the top of the list. Okay, why? Well, the best way to explain this is with an explanation of how business works in the United States as opposed to a country like India.
In the United States companies pay relatively high taxes and wages. The minimum wage in the United States is one of the highest if not THE highest in the whole world. The taxes companies have to pay are also very high. So to manufacture a product, say computers in the United States, would cost a considerable amount of money.

Many franchisors are well advised to watch your competition like a hawk, especially if you are a fast-mover entrepreneurial type franchise. So often the competition in an industry, which is typically non-franchised field will be quite concerned when a franchise system comes into the industry and starts it rapid expansion roll-out.How do I know this? Well, let’s just say I have experience in such things. Industry associations, good ole’ boy networks and corporations with many ou

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Jane at a networking meeting a few of weeks ago. Random chance placed we two somewhat introverted people at the table next to each other, and for the first 5-10 minutes we didn't speak to each other at all. This of course defies traditional networking convention. Within 30 seconds of sitting down shouldn't I have introduced myself, given her my sales pitch and business card? Am I losing a sale here, and should I just for

Why is it that most companies really only think about marketing when their backs are against the wall? Driven by declining sales or slow growth, changing patterns in their (or their customer’s) buying behaviours and /or increasing competition, suddenly the penny drops! Marketing – oh yes maybe I should try that!I know we all mean well but as human beings we are not good at consistently driving for stretch or continuous improvement. We all know what we should have been doing but

Visit a bookseller and you can find any number of books telling you how to find your dream job (a “dream job” search on Amazon returns 513 results), from using the Internet to using the rules of dating. Clearly, there is a large number of people who do not have their dream job and want help finding it. For most of them, however, the transition will not happen overnight, and what those books don’t share is how to enjoy the job you have in the meantime.If there’s no escaping the
Now, take that same company, set up an office overseas in India where taxes are lower and the wages are lower and have them make the same product and what happens is the product can be manufactured for less and ultimately sold for less. This allows the company to be more competitive in the market place, pay lower wages while doing it and making more money in the long run. The end result is the companies that manufacture items overseas to sell in the United States make more profit.
From the above example it is clear to see that the companies stand to make out very well with outsourcing. Other people who make out well are the consumers. They get to purchase these products for less money. Certainly that has to be a good thing as well, which it is. Plus, you're giving jobs to people outside of the United States who probably wouldn't be working otherwise. So obviously that is good too.
So who ends up getting the short end of this deal?
That would be the American workers who lose their jobs because they have been outsourced overseas. Most people can't just pick themselves up and move to India. And even if they could the wage they would have to live on would be nothing compared to what they were used to. So ultimately what happens is these people lose their jobs and with outsourcing we're sometimes talking about a hundred thousand people suddenly out of work.
The question becomes, what do these people do? For most, there aren't enough jobs available in their field to get a new job. Some do. But what about the r
