Apr30	Executives Caught Red Handed John Palmer April 30, 2006 Know More: Business Ethics, Seemed Like A Good Idea, Shortsighted Strategies I don't know whether to focus on the hypocrisy of company executives, the virtues of a free-market economy, or the marketing genius of getting a competitor to buy your product. This is from The Guardian in England. Apparantly some of the head honchos at Barclays went to their competitors for their personal home loans. Nice. Then they have the bravado to say their goal is to increase their market share in home loans. Sometimes things seem to be a good idea at first blush. Better to re-think a decision than to find yourself profiled in an international media outlet! Posted at 9:34 PM \| Permalink \| Comments
Apr28	Free Trade? John Palmer April 28, 2006 In an Associated Press article published in the Washington Post today, I was struck by a couple of things.

	Business Liability And Lawsuits John Palmer April 23, 2006 How do you distinguish between negligent and accidental behavior? I'm not sure us mere mortals can ever do it. On April 10th the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control warned contact lens users about an outbreak of... Continue Reading Posted at 3:02 PM \| Permalink \| Comments
	Gouging Businesses John Palmer April 23, 2006 Maybe it's just my questioning nature (I warned you about this in my first post!), but I usually believe there's more to a story than the sound bites we hear. Case in point. We're hearing lots of noise these days... Continue Reading Posted at 1:52 PM \| Permalink \| Comments
Apr22	Corporate Responsibility Vs. Employee Responsibility John Palmer April 22, 2006 I don't think there's anyone reading this that would have much criticism of the airline industry as a whole. I don't mean waiting in excruciatingly long lines, shoe searches, and lousy food. I mean the industry itself following the attacks... Continue Reading Posted at 7:42 PM \| Permalink \| Comments
Apr19	Damaging Consumer Trust John Palmer April 19, 2006 I came across this article on FastCompany.com. The author is Karen Post, the "Branding Diva". She makes a very good point that businesses should consider. Short-term gain, vs. long-term sustainability. Now, I know I'm an idealist. The more you follow...
