They provide their customers with answers that matter—life saving and enhancing medicines. They carry out this mission by discovering, developing, and marketing pharmaceutical therapies. Many of the pharmaceutical products Lilly brings to market are first-in-class, providing customers a therapeutic relief that did not exist. An example of this is their newly FDA-cleared drug, Xigris™, which helps thousands of people every day by treating the potentially fatal condition of sepsis. The Lilly research team persevered over two decades to bring Xigris™ to fruition, even when over ten other companies failed to produce a viable drug remedy for sepsis (Eli Lilly Annual Report 2001). This dedication truly exemplifies Lilly’s commitment to their customers and transcends into all their efforts. Eli Lilly continues to be a successful pharmaceutical company, while other pharmaceutical companies have seen their success erode, because of the strategies they employ. Lilly has focused on building partnerships rather than acquisitions...

...Chinese New Year. Unique hand-crafted touches and a great word-of-mouth reputation keep her products in high demand. Recently, Mei Po learned that the space next door was available to lease. The timing was right as she was looking to expand her business. But as she reviewed the loan application, she noticed that in addition to a business plan, she needed to prepare a one-year budget. Mei Po was taken aback. She planned her cash-flow month to month. How could she predict what would happen over the period of a year? It seemed impossible. What would you do? The first step in developing a budget is to establish a set of assumptions about the future. Questions Mei Po might ask include: Will the demand for her gifts grow over the next year? If yes, by how much? The next step is for Mei Po to calculate expected revenues and expenses based on past performance and future expectations. The difference between revenues and expenses is net income. If Mei Po is satisfied with the numbers, she can finalize her budget. If she wants higher net income, she needs to identify new strategies that will support different assumptions. In this topic, you'll learn how to identify and create a budget that will most effectively help you meet your business goals and how to use communication skills to develop realistic, accurate budgets that keep your organization on track. Mei Po wants to expand her business. How can she budget for the next year? |Next » Get Started Topic Objectives This topic helps...

...PAUL KRUGMAN WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS THE RETURN OF DEPRESSION E C O N O M CS AND T H E C R I S I S OF I 2 0 0 8 ISBN 9 7 8 - 0 - 3 9 3 - 0 7 1 0 1 - 6 W USA $24.95 CAN. $27.50 hat better guide could we have to the 2008 financial crisis and its resolution than our newest Nobel Laureate in Economics, the prolific columnist and author Paul Krugman? In his prescient 1999 classic, The Return of Depression Economics, Krugman surveyed the economic crises that had swept across Asia and Latin America and pointed out that they were a warning for all of us: like diseases that have become resistant to antibiotics, the economic maladies that caused the Great Depression were making a comeback. In the years that followed, as Wall Street boomed and financial wheeler-dealers made vast profits, the international crises of the 1990s faded from memory. But now depression economics has come to America. When the great housing bubble of the mid-2000s burst, the U.S. financial system proved as vulnerable as those of developing countries caught up in earlier crises—and a replay of the 1930s seems all too possible. In this new, greatly updated edition of The Return of Depression Economics, Krugman shows how the failure of regulation to keep pace with an increasingly out-of-control financial system set the United States and the world up for the greatest financial crisis since the 1930s. He also lays out the steps that must be taken...
