Carnival of Business #2
May 1st, 2006 | by mbhunter |
Welcome to installment #2 of the Carnival of Business! Thanks everyone for your posts — they were a pleasure!
Here we go!
- Starting off the carnival on a cheery note: The Manager As Sociopath. A very tongue-in-cheek article from Jack Yoest. Does this remind you of anyone you know? (It doesn’t for me — my bosses at work are fantastic!)
- Want to stick it to big oil? Check out this commentary on boycotting gas companies. It’s Just Money has some discussion on proactive measures for conserving the petrol.
- Most business plan to fail because they fail to plan. Here are five steps to developing a business plan. Served up by My Money Forest, the originator of this carnival!
- Big business has been known to use politics occasionally to fuel its growth. Okay … it uses it all the time. Professor Bainbridge delivers an account of Federal Express doing this.
- A thought-provoking take on running your life like a business by Jose at Money and Investing.
- Ever want to know what the limits of employee disability accomodations are? Workplace Prof Blog talks about this topic.
- It’s good to be the king: Even lousy CEOs get great pay, according to Consumerism Commentary.
- Dave Lorenzo recounts how an acquaintance’s coworkers could barely get by without him. From the Career Intensity Blog.
- GreatFX admits that personal savings decline is a little off-topic for a small business blog, but no doubt there will be much business opportunity for helping people with the associated problems. (And heck — it’s right on topic for this blog, so why not?)
- A relatively new business tech blog called Techie Day thinks that investors should lend an ear to independent businesses bloggers. Nice piece — keep it up!
- These guys really do make money stuffing envelopes and mailing letters! Could this be a new trend: high-tech ways to do low-tech tasks? Thanks FunnyBusiness — this has my stamp of approval!
- From yours truly: What’s all the HYIP about?
- And finally, SportsBiz questions whether the golf analogy should drive the American boardroom image.
That’s it for this week’s Carnival of Business! Thanks for reading! Next week, It’s Just Money will host.
