SALES FOR STARTUPS

To emerge from the early stages of building a new business, start-ups need to stay focused on two things: building and selling. The first is by far the most important. You can’t sell what you don’t ship, and if it’s not built specifically with the customer’s needs in mind, it’ll be next to impossible to sell even with a great sales system. But as start-ups begin putting a signifi…

INNOVATION, STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS: HOW DOES ECONOMIC THEORY EXPL…

Hidden Financial Risk

When I graduated with a doctorate in 1977, I researched and published articles on main- stream topics, particularly current value accounting and the interaction between earnings and cash flows. After a while, it occurred to me that these are not the crucial issues of financial accounting and reporting. Ethics and honesty and fairness to financial statement users comprise the foundational issues…

It should not only be our wish, but our expectation. Health care that implements a “How can we help you today?” philosophy is care that is patient centered, takes full advantage of what has been learned about systems strategies for ma…

The delivery of health care has proceeded for decades with a blind spot: Diagnostic errors—inaccurate or delayed diagnoses—persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients.

It began as a practical activity in response to perceived needs, and for most of its development it has progressed in the same way, adapting to meet changes in the demands made on it. Where the needs differed in different countries or environments, accounting tended to develo…

In January of 1997 Canada's Department of National Defence carried out an epidemiological survey…

ALLIANCES AND NETWORKS

This paper introduces a social network perspective to the study of strategic alliances. It extends prior research, which has primarily considered alliances as dyadic exchanges and paid less attention to the fact that key precursors, processes, and outcomes associated with alliances can be defined and shaped in important ways by the social networks within which most firms are embedded. It id…
