I've read articles about the supply chain impacts of being in China, very near all your suppliers, compared to being in the US. When you need the screws in your first production run to be 0.1 mm shorter, you can call the screw manufact

Non-public and insider are two different concepts. I could send a satellite to space, take pictures of parking lots, count cars, and it'd be a pretty decent indicator to the relative success of a retailer. Add some other signals into t

How does Sid Meier's Railroads compare to Railroad Tycoon? Growing up I played Railroad Tycoon II and Monopoly Tycoon a lot, which actually gave pretty good lessons in business. Issuing bonds at 7% are annoying to pay back, understan

The buyer's agent is supposed to act in the best interest of the buyer. It's tough to say that's always the case when the buyer paying a bit more rather than walking away would actually help the buyer's agent earn more.

I doubt this is the reason. Any academic studies which are going to be published need Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval to ensure they won't violate ethics guidelines. Qualtrics has done a lot of work to be the go-to academic

For sake of comparison, Norway has about 5.23 million people compared to 325 in the US. Scaled up, it'd be like having 1,116 officers lose their jobs due to misconduct between 2005 and 2012. Visibility to the issue in the US was substa
