All over the world, people seem to be increasing their level of uncommon sense. The amount of book knowledge is on the rise. The sciences and the arts are getting more advanced by the hour. Yet the natural uncanny wisdom given to man by which he is empowered to succeed in dealing with many of his problems remain unused. You can call it ‘the number six,’ ‘the acumen,’ etc but commonsense is that innate wisdom that somehow is not attached to the volume of books or research one reads or carries out.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT: Learning To Unlearn
According to Peter Drucker, the most important skill in the 21st century is the skill of learning new things. It has long been the habit of top management of big fat corporations to forget how fast things change in our modern world.

Human beings oftentimes have a bad day and this tends to get worse as such days runs out.
There are many reasons for this. Sometimes it could be a dominating effect as a result of some negative events that happened to you.

This negative events tends to make us irritating, snap at people thus causing them to be more rude and less understanding with us. As a result of such behaviours towards us, we tend to get madder as the day wears on.
Our attitudes towards such days/moods can make us lose some valuable opportunities and can negate people’s feeling towards us if not properly managed.

Everybody hears about marketing these days but still so many don’t understand how best to use the various marketing mix to push up their company income without taking their budget to the cleaners. My principal in high school would always admonish us to focus and focus. That brings me to focus marketing.
The beauty of focus is that it allows you aim all or most of your marketing energy at those who are most likely to buy your product or service.
You have to come across as an authority in a particular field. Even if you produce a wide range of products you should be able to carve a niche for each of them. This is why many companies have brand managers for each product or service brand they have. You should be able to position each of them to the target audience.
