A clear, easily-navigated website would be a must: "Does your Web site describe your product or service...

As a result, economic development was redefined in terms of reduction or elimination of poverty, inequality, and unemployment within the perspective of a growing economy (Mamede & Davidsson, 2003).

Integrating network relationships with entrenched resources, can lead to the development of organizational ability for achieving long-range business sustainability.

Action The importance of creativity and innovation in the workplace is well documented, but the debate over nature vs. nurture continues with some authorities maintaining that people are born with attributes such as creativity and innovation while others argue that such attributes can be inculcated over time (Furnham & Heaven 1999).
