One Step Closer to Bankruptcy
I have written a couple articles so far about the downfall of GM and Ford, although I have mostly focused on GM.

The Most Common Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make And Why Markets Tolerate No Shortcuts
The question I receive more often than any other is: “What is the mistake you most frequently observe inventors or entrepreneurs making?” The answer is an easy one. Most unsuccessful entrepreneurs try to get to market by taking shortcuts.We live in a commercial maelstrom. The marketplace is constantly churning, changing, adapting. Successful marketers are constantly adjusting, anticipating, re-inventing. Opportunity for product launches entering this market has never been greater, but there is zero tolerance in this highly cluttered environment for half

The Coming Storm: New Executive Pay Disclosure Rules Will Have Big Impact on Corporate Life
Some of you companies out there have about a year before all hell breaks loose.That's when the Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed executive compensation disclosure rules are expected to take effect. The new rules will require every public company to explain in a single, plain-English report the actual value of what they give their CEO, CFO, highest-paid executives and directors.Disclosures resulting from the new rules will add fuel to rising public ire over the idea that top execs are paid a hundred times or more than the average worke

Packaging Your Invention: Think Like A Consumer
Turning your invention into a product takes more than just coming up with an idea. If you want to sell that idea to a company, negotiate a licensing agreement or if you're going it alone and hope to sell it directly to buyers, you're going to need packaging. It's the logical next step to create packaging for your invention's product sales sample.The invention package challenge It's obvious that big brand products don't face the challenges your new product will.

Would It Be Your Word Versus Theirs?
What evidence is there of your agreement to deliver goods/services and your client's agreement to pay?When your client's account becomes past due and they suddenly develop amnesia relating to your agreement, what would you have to support your case? You may have anything from a 5 page signed agreement that would make any attorney feel they'd earned their fee, to an invoice noting payment terms, to a sequence of emails, to a phone conversation.

Studies suggest that many so-called Web related conversion occur offline. In addition, the more expensive and non impulsive the purchase, the more consumers want to touch, demo, and see the product in person. Moreover, when was the last time you bought a TV sight unseen?

Strategies that require more in-store contact have several options:

Publish detailed information on products or services Prominently display phone number and address on all pages Present online coupons for in-store redemption Offer “holding” of merchandise for in-store pick-up
