Wishing all our friends the wisdom to predict and change the
future by making the right choices.
Livelong learning is here to stay. More and more money and time is spend on training people. In 1998, the training expenditures in the US increased to 2% of payroll. In Europe, the expenditures even reached 3,2% of payroll. This means 29 hours (US) to 49 hours of training a person. US Benchmarking participants projected a 14% jump in training expenditures between 1998 and 1999. ... click here to read more
Abstract  Organizational culture represents the best available "lubricant" that
permits small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to function smoothly
and effectively. Information and the way it is collected, processed and
used by the business is more and more critically decisive in an
ever-changing environment. This might especially be the case in small
and medium-sized firms. Information search and processing represent
important determinants of performance and may signify critical key
success factors for SMEs in their growing process. This study examines
four cultural categories: clan, adhocracy, hierarchy and market-driven
and their impact on patterns of the information processing of SMEs.
Results from a random sample of 242 SMEs indicate that culture has a
significant impact on various dimensions of information processing such
as information search scope, formality, flexibility as well as
organizational responsiveness. This study highlights the importance of
maintaining appropriate organizational culture and matching it with the
external environment.Key words: Organizational culture, information processing, SMEs Researchers have devoted considerable effort in examining the impact of micro behavioral (i.e., entrepreneurial personality and.... click here to read more

Life
is all about the choices we make. All us human beings with our
similarities would perhaps lead the very same life except for
the choices we make.
progress
up the corporate ladder or be the reason of stagnation. But do I
blame myself for all the failures of my life? When I can so
conveniently blame my manager, or my organization or the lack of
opportunities had life and last but no he least I can always
blame my destiny to my (bad luck)
set
of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about
choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of
us becomes another Michelangelo, for choice is nothing other
than the chisel we use to sculpt our life. The chisel doesn’t
come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility.
But when we accept and carry out our responsibility, the reward
is great. The reward is happiness.
Pre-empt
the Future
In accordance to Maslow's
predictions related to the hierarchy of needs model, more and more
people are entering an era where personal growth becomes a key factor.
Learning, whether it is professionally or personally, means growing.
Growth equates satisfaction and self-esteem. Yet, we may be learning
more than we realize, or maybe less… Indeed, it is surprising how few
people can actually reproduce the overview of their key leaning points
of say, the last 6 months. So you might pause for 5 minutes before
continuing to read this newsletter to answer that question for yourself.
Have you heard this before: “I’m going to get organized this time and
stick to it”? Maybe you have said it yourself. Staying organized is like
trying to keep weight off; we do it for a while and then fall back into
old habits. Most of us have learned many organization techniques over
the years: get a day planner, make to-do lists, develop an organizing
system so we can find and store things easily, touch paper only one
time, “do, delegate, delay or dump,” and have a method of handling phone
calls and e-mails. All too often, however, we end up still getting
bogged down, and the planners and the to-do lists fall by the wayside.
We end up right where we were before, maybe a little improved but still
struggling with overload, over commitment, and overly tired.
The people in your organizations train for years and go into debt for
college. People work late nights and weekends. People spend the entire
day taking phone calls when they’re supposed to be on vacation. And
people generate ideas and create the solutions that your organizations
need.
