Global sourcing has become less a strategic advantage and more a competitive necessity. Fierce competition is driving many companies to source in low cost countries. The expectations of more return on investment combined with increased competition drive executives to seek reductions in expenditures, making an immediate and direct impact on the bottom line. At the same time, they are challenged to maintain service levels and prevent any loss of control. Many Western companies are eager to source Chinese parts and products in order to achieve these goals. Retailing giants such as Carrefour are buying an expanding range of Chinese-made goods for up to 40% less than the cost of comparable[..]

I recently watched a very interesting independent film (on DVD) that sparked a thought. The 1992 film "Glengarry Glen Ross" is a movie about some desperate salesmen in a desperate situation. Alec Baldwin, who plays Blake, engages in an extremely abusive diatribe with the sales team in which he exclaims "A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing." Having been in a sales role in a previous life I had heard this before, but I reflected on this for a moment. Then I asked myself, "Are there ABC's for Project Management?" Digging deep into my collective resources on project management I found the document that I intended use for the basis of this article. It was[..]

and other personal matchmaking web sites grab a lot of attention.  It must be because they capture our imagination, or at least the imaginations of those who use them.  The fact of the matter is that two of the writer’s own daughters are now married as a result of meeting their true loves on e-Harmony.  As you can imagine, the result of this matchmaking ended as a rather expensive proposition, at least for the bride's family.  Yet, there is another side to matchmaking that is practical and can offer significant cost savings in the business world.   Take, for instance, a new methodology that automatically matches companies that are looking for suppliers with suppliers that are[..]
