The ban has been lifted but the damage has been done. Such is the dilemma that Croley Foods Manufacturing has to deal with as the melamine issue has certainly already been done no thanks to the Hong Kong Food authorities.
The other, it was reported that traces of melamine were found in the exported good from the Philippines and to verify, the Bureau of Food and Drugs administration had initially put a temporary hold on the selling of this widely popular brand as far as the blueberry line is concerned. ...

If you were the average consumer, you would be glad to see that the price of world crude oil is falling or better yet, normalizing these days. It only means that better days ahead as far as fuel needs are concerned and perhaps business is bound to pick up. But to our surprise, we are struggling to cope up with the financial aspect of our lives and this can be clearly seen in the dipping stocks and companies that are closing down one by one.
What gives? Well while the ...

As expected, not all parties that were supposed to be saved by the much publicized financial bailout plan of the US really benefited. In fact, it is pretty much obvious that it is doing more harm and has gone as far as affecting the neighboring countries. It is bound to reach most local regions since the fall of Wall Street involved global investments, most of which have investors from all parts of the globe.
So what is next? Will the US government come out with something once again to save ...

After initially disapproving the financial bailout plan submitted by President Bush and the US government, the restructured one (or was it really?) was approved by the House of Representatives earlier this week. Before anything else some questions:
1. Was this a Wise Move?
2. Are Borrowers off the Hook?
3. Has Capitalism Changed?
4. How will this impact the economy since anyone can be saved from drowning debt?
You would think that this financial bailout plan the second time around would be approved already even before it was announced. Why? Well based on the reactions of the world ...

By now, the issue that is going around is the rejection of Congress on the financial aid and support that President Bush had pushed for to save a faltering economy. For sure, many businesses are saddened by this since it means they have to go about their financial worries alone. But on the other hand, the conservative businessmen are probably heaving a big sigh of relief since first off, it preserves the nature of capitalism and the obvious business responsibility of each corporate entity to ensure their current sustainability ...

We are always fond of importing goods, some of which prefer them because they are cheaper. But in what is typical in the saying that buying cheap is similar to having greater risk, the current debate over the impending health disaster that China has once again contributed to the world should be something that will make any consumer to ward off any pretensions that some goods from developing countries may have something fishy in them.
Apparently, we have seen the growing number of babies (53,000 and 4 dead the last I read), suffering from such a mishap. These dairy ...

Banking is bound to get a lot of the limelight in the next couple of days following the announcement of Lehman Brothers and Merril Lynch Co, two well-known names. Lehman has reportedly filed for bankruptcy which erased about $700 billion in shareholder wealth.
This shakeup is bound to continue and for investors, no one is safe at the moment. A lot of businesses are bound to suffer and this is not only isolated in the United States. It is bound to affect the whole world as market continue to tumble ...

This area should perhaps be up for debate. Should business be involved in politics? Apparently we are all aware that political factors are counted among the external factors in doing business but should businessmen endorse and presidential candidate for that matter? Would this be good for business?
Apparently, businessmen are being solicited regarding their nod on which potential political figure to endorse but with that said, is it a sane move? For sure, this will be an advantage on the part of any politician, getting the vote of confidence of business tycoons but as far as the overall image of ...

Globalization in business may have to wait or at least be done in an alternative way as most businesses situated in the United States have reportedly cut down on business travel costs in line with the growing credit crunch evident today. So for the executives who have been known to travel here and there ever quite so often in a year, a large reduction in such an activity is expected to occur as companies are continuing to find ways to survive the financial crisis befalling us.
But the question is, ...

These days, even the business behemoths such as leading fast food chain McDonalds need to wise up and broaden their range of doing business today. Already a world-known brand, there is no stopping its continued growth as McDonalds has reportedly forayed the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Homosexual and Transgendered) community which is drawing various reactions from business groups on such a move.
On ones hand, they are being commended for their outreach towards setting aside racial issues in doing business. While on the other, they are being hit for using the current hot issue and doing business. Either way, it is ...
