Dirty Tricks? - The Pipeline
"As an experienced purchaser I saw the negotiation with seller / suppliers as an exchange of information and values. You trade value for value. I didn't try to play any "dirty tricks", but I asked frank, direct and hard questions to the seller. Please give me "just the facts, m'am!" It is a two-way street. If you as a purchaser are playing around with dirty tricks in order get the upper hand not according to the book, you will eat that up later on... The same goes for the seller. You will find out sooner or later, if you have got tricked somehow. I am glad that you have pointed out these misconceptions about sales transactions."Developing an Online Marketing Strategy based on Pareto's Law - 80/20 Principal
"I am fascinated by the Pareto principle - 80/20 rule for a long time, so it is interesting to read a post on marketing that is discussing this topic. For a background, read about Vilfredo Pareto on Answers.com. http://www.answers.com/topic/vilfredo-pareto "CEO Hubris, Fraud & How to Prevent It
"Tony Johnston, I don't agree with the Canadian study that the ego is the biggest problem for potential accounting fraud. It is the lack of a true self and responsibility to the board, shareholders, coworkers, employees and parties in the whole supply chain, that is the root of the problem. The CEO should learn about leadership from some great authorities on the subject, e.g. Edwin A. Locke. The word ego is I (am) in Latin. Without individual responsibility, you will not have a company at all. "According to a new study by researchers from three Canadian universities, the biggest red flag for a potential accounting fraud is a CEO with a truly oversized ego.""CEO Hubris, Fraud & How to Prevent It
"Anita, I use the word in the philosophical way. I have picked the word EGO for my blog for a reason. It is time to stand up for the individual and his or her right to engage in an exchange with other individuals. Words have meaning and it is important to understand how you come up with a concept. Tony Johnston: I propose that we protect ourselves against these types by writing down the rules and act accordingly to these. Disputes and fraudulent behavior should be taken care by an objective court system."Subscribe
