"Are you one of the many business owners whose numbers look good yet you never have enough cash to cover your wage, supplier invoices or BAS?
The truth is, may of us assess our profit using a P&L (profit & loss) report, yet this is not the same as understanding our business’ cash flow."

Interview: Jeremy Darroch, chief executive of BSkyB
Extract . . .
"Jeremy Darroch is a man with a lot on his plate, ranging from the array of technological developments in broadcasting to the possibility of a takeover.

Dot Com Entrepreneurs
Extract . . .
"Dot com companies are now a distinct flavour of the nineties, as many start ups at the time were formed at a rapid rate to take advantage of the surplus of venture capital funding. We have even witnessed both a boom and bust otherwise known as the ‘dot-com bubble’, yet what has lately been disregarded is the innovation that has been undergone over the last four years across online-based ventures and indeed traditional business models that have decided to create a profitable online platform as an extension of their business."

Do companies care about former staff?
Extract . . .
"When was the last time you heard from your former employer, or the one before that?
Never?
I don’t mean former colleagues emailing you or staying in touch through social networking sites, but the firm itself making an effort to maintain contact. This could include sending an annual update to ex-staff or inviting them to an “alumni” gathering every few years."

Not such a bright idea
Extract . . .
"SOLID-STATE lighting, the latest idea to brighten up the world while saving the planet, promises illumination for a fraction of the energy used by incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. A win all round, then: lower electricity bills and (since lighting consumes 6.5% of the world’s energy supply) less climate-changing carbon dioxide belching from power stations."

The case for Mr Osborne's austerity
Extract . . .
"George Osborne has already shown he is a courageous chancellor. But is he also mad? In essence, the fate of Britain's recovery over the next few years depends on the answer to that question.
Thanks to Mr Osborne, Britain now has the earliest, most aggressive programme to cut government borrowing in the G7, despite widespread fears about the strength of the UK and global recovery. "
