The United States has drtopped from 1st place to 6th in this important report. America is no longer the most competitive economy in the world. Basically, you should fire anyone who isn't doing their job, or complain to a manager if an employee is not doing their job.
Switzerland, Finland and Sweden are the world’s most competitive economies according to The Global Competitiveness Report 2006-2007, released by the World Economic Forum on 26 September 2006. Denmark, Singapore, the United States, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom complete the top ten list, but the United States shows the most pronounced drop, falling from first to sixth.
The rankings are drawn from a combination of publicly available hard data and the results of the Executive Opinion Survey, a comprehensive annual survey conducted by the World Economic Forum, together with its network of Partner Institutes (leading research institutes and business organizations) in the countries covered by the Report. This year, over 11,000 business leaders were polled in a record 125 economies worldwide. Order the report>>
Sounds like a lot of hooey to me, given European 'Labour' and the Nordic welfare states. But without being privy to how the report is constructed, it isn't open to much discussion.
My company's payroll would drop 80%. ;)
Please fire them and start hiring ambitious people, it's killing the economy. I am serious.
LOL
My company just fired or demoted 4 VPs. But they kept some, too, as well as the imbecile at the top. That's one big drawback. Incompetents never fire themselves.
as for the president, just walk up to him and tell him to pack his gear, he's fired. See if it works.
Then what? I don't want his lousy job!
