Now then, recently I was asked by a gentleman to tell him how much it costs for a complete mobile oil change van and package.Well, we do not sell

Had a good discussion with a few analysts (financial) and accounting on the question around differences between Restatement and Recertification of results - what are they, what is the difference etc.?1. Restatement: It will effectively rewite a company's books. Dr. Min Wu of New York Univ of Business has a great paper on Review of earnings restatement. Here are some highlights:a) Restatements typically occur when a company, often in consultation with its auditors or the SEC, determines that the company's financial statements contained either "errors" resulting from "mathematical mistakes, oversight, or misuse of facts at the time the financial statements were
When John's wife, Susan, walked into the den that night, she found him grimly staring into space. The books and articles were scattered around him.
"I can't make sense of this," he groused, "One book is telling me that good bosses have integrity and values. The other one says that great leaders have vision. One article says that command and control is dead and I should let people control things but the other one talks about using technology to monitor behavior. I liked it better before I was promoted. Then, I knew what to do."

You may have heard something about ‘branding’ in regards to marketing, but perhaps you’ve wondered what that means exactly.Sometimes it is better to explain something in relation to something else. That’s what I am going to do – so first I will start with ‘positioning’. You also may have heard that term, but also did not really know what it meant. ‘Positioning’ is a marketing term that means to take a product or service and “position” it in the mind of your prospects/clients by comparing it with or against something already familiar in their minds. Al Reis and Howard Geltzer first published a book about it in the 1970’s.To give you an idea of positioning, take Avis. He

What follows is a conversation - one that happens all too often in business. The status quo, how managers have been trained, what got them to where they are, and business realities all play a part in this conversation. Listen to our fictitious, but all too real manager as he has this ongoing talk with himself.---------------------------------------------"What Do You Think?" The boss said I should try that question with my people. Uh oh, if I ask that question I might get an answer that I don't like, or that I have to act on, or that provides information I need to communicate, or that makes me communicate a response. I really don't want that - Why won't people just do what t

Before you plan your outdoor sign, it will do you a world of good to know what types of outdoor signs are available in the market. If you are armed with this market information, choosing an outdoor sign that goes with the aesthetics of your building architecture and is right for your business becomes an easy job:1. Portable, Changeable Signs: These are mostly ground signs and indoor signs. Your staff can easily lug these signs around and the lettering on them can be changed easily to display the latest offers. These signs are normally placed on the ground just outside your shop, but some varieties can also be placed indoors and some can be quite high-tech, too (for example, a scro
"Maybe that's the answer," offered Susan, "You've said you want to be a boss like Karen, the woman you worked for in your first job in marketing. What did she do?"
"Gosh," John paused and thought. "To start with, she was always touching base with us. Even when I was on the road, she was checking in to see how I was doing and if I needed anything and if I understood what she wanted. What are you doing?"
Susan looked up innocently. "I'm taking notes, darling. When this is over you won't remember a thing you said and you'll ask me and I won't remember either. Remember what the Chinese say, 'the palest ink is stronger than the strongest memory.'"
"So what did you write down?"
"Touch base a lot. Why do you think that worked?"
John leaned back and stared at the ceiling. "Well, every time we connected I think we learned about each other. I could make sure I understood what she wanted. She asked about a lot of things. As I think about it, though, the conversations were different in the beginning."<
