    Dropshippers Allow You to Start Your Business on a Small Budget
    Maybe you already have and e-business or possibly have dabbled with eBay auctions. If you're considering expanding your business using drop shippers can make this easy. Certain elements of the business need to be considered when employing drop shipping services. For example, what is the best method

    Nerve of Steel
    L.N. Mittal has an abundant appetite for acquiring steel firms. From Kazakhstan to Romania, from Indonesia to the US, the Indian-born takeover tycoon’s Mittal Steel has gobbled up steel plants and added them to his expanding empire. But not even his most ardent admirers bet on the success of his bid for
    In a recent article [Testing – the most effective tool for database marketing], we have analysed the importance of testing in marketing campaign management. Testing is done by promoting an offer to a smaller group of customers in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the whole approach (value proposition, message used, timing, target group). This smaller group is a sample which is used to predict the behavior of a larger group. Sampling always introduces bias in any measurement. The larger the sample is, the smaller the bias introduced. Assuming that:

    • an expected positive response rate p is 2 % (the percent of customers accepting the offer - this estimate may be an average of previous similar tests),
    • an expected standard deviation S 0,05 % in response rates. This estimate may be derived from previous tests: S can be calculated after executing a campaign on a group of given size (actually, the accurate term for this is ‘standard error of a proportion’ in a binomial distribution which however resembles highly the normal distribution),

    Accounting - Explaining The Income Statement
    In layman’s terms, what is the income statement? We will look at the various components of the income statement: revenues, cost of goods sold, expenses and net income. Income statements are helpful, because they will give you some history of the business in order to budget for future operations and ass

    Advertising in Trade Journals
    One has to be fairly careful when advertising in trade journals because the costs can get prohibitive, yet if you are selling to the industry, the percentage of readers who might be interested is large. If you have a company, which is not selling to the industry but rather participating in it, it is not

    Doing Business Better Than Usual: Words at Work

    r this is ‘standard error of a proportion’ in a binomial distribution which however resembles highly the normal distribution), a very simple formula to estimate the size of the needed test group is the following: Group size = p * (1-p) / square(S) , and yields a value of 78.400. Should a sensitivity analysis be carried out by changing the input values, the results do not provide a feeling of a stable estimation. For example if the expected positive response rate p is 1,5 % and the expected standard deviation S 0,06 % then the group size should be 41.042. The sensitivity analysis helps recognise the importance of the estimations used. A relatively small change leads to a huge difference. Therefore, Campaign managers should analyse the findings of previous campaigns, in order to have a good idea on the expected range of p and S values. Previous findings contribute to the adjustment of future test group sizes. Though this may not be a highly safe approach in dynamically changing market conditions and offers, it is much better than using randomly selected group sizes, which may lead either to inaccurate findings or wasted resources when the group size is
