People Driven Business

Where will you find profits tomorrow? Not where you found them yesterday. Oh, for the good old days when the world was large, the competition loose, and planning your vacation was your primary concern. Today the world is small, the competition stiff, and what's a vacation? Obviously, companies need to exploit every advantage. Too bad, as C.J.
