...companies remain dismissive about the financial downturn-and unprepared to seize the opportunities it presents: "Companies are still underestimating the size and scope of the economic crisis. They are generally too optimistic about their own performance and believe that they have taken sufficient steps to respond to the crisis. They often tend to be too inward-looking in their forecasts, relying on their own 2008 experience rather than fully assessing the changing external environment: managers do not like to create or accept negative plans. Consequently, although taking action, companies have not adopted the steps either to protect themselves from...
...tale simply wasn’t his most interesting or effective venture.As it is, some of the stories read like thinly-veiled editorials, with grotesque characters set in realistic places and situations.

Manischewitz endured some controversy for his use of machines, but after he spent 13 years studying the Talmud in Jerusalem, even the most hardened traditionalists eventually considered him an acceptable authority on matzo. The Manischewitz family sold the company in 1990 for $42.5 million; the brand...
...these negotiations is yet another challenge. Andreasen says that "both sides will want to avoid the Cold War dynamic of large, permanent delegations gathering in Geneva and facing off across a large table, pencils sharpened." But, he says, they must also acknowledge that "they have legitimate concerns regarding the size, posture and security of the other side's nuclear arsenals." The most likely sticking point will be agreeing on how to count nuclear weapons: specifically, whether to count all the weapons each country could potentially use or only the ones that are ready at the time of negotiations...
