Beginning Quotes
On the headline, it's a great report, up 5.8 percent. The recovery is under way. But we're also beginning to see a bottom in durable equipment declines, which is important because it's about corporate profits. But we still need that to be stronger to make sure that this recovery is here to stay.

Advanced Quotes
I wouldn't totally correlate MBAs with business momentum and strategic thinking. Some engineers have very good business sense, and some corporate leaders don't even have advanced degrees. Having said that, there is something to be said for new thinking, strong decision-making and fresh ideas, particularly in organizations where corporate strategy and focus have become very staid.

Cluster Quotes
I got offers from everywhere. Police groups, corporate events, and lots of tv news channels. I was getting paid to get sprayed with police pepper spray, and I was selling hundreds of my self defense videos all thanks to Oprah Winfrey. Then one day I was doing a spray demonstration for a FOX television news station and I discovered my own cure. Once I discovered the secret of hot peppers -- I never had another cluster headache again.

Assignment Quotes
If they transfer to another store, they would be at least at the same position. In some cases, like for co-managers, it could result in a promotion to manager.

Academic Quotes
I believe the community and regional biotechnology organizations and interests outside our universities might be aided by having a person familiar with university research activities and the mindset of university faculty members regarding the transfer of their intellectual work product into new technologies and economic development. That is a perspective I can offer, given my familiarity with both academic and corporate arenas.

Add Quotes
CEOs and directors realize that board discussions are richer when individuals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives participate. The challenge is finding qualified women and minority candidates. Boards have a responsibility to shareholders to align the composition of the board with the business strategy by appointing directors who add value to the board and company. But, there is still only a small number of women and minorities among senior corporate executives, and they are in high demand.

Business Quotes
Business investment is disappointingly sluggish and the long-term effects on the U.K. economy are really worrying our corporate members.

Case Quotes

Bad Quotes
But given all the negatives, investors should also consider the positive side. The market is discounting the bad news. We know the economy is terrible and corporate profits in trouble. With that kind of a backdrop, that's when we get a snap-back rally. Investors need to be on the look out for it.

Airport Quotes
Bay County voters rejected the airport proposal in a 2004 nonbinding referendum, but that hasn't stopped St. Joe or the state from pursuing this boondoggle. This is neither the time nor the place to build a destructive new airport as corporate welfare. We already have an underutilized airport that can serve the region well into the future when we will know much more about the troubled aviation industry, the realistic prospects for another airport, and the true environmental and financial cost.

Affluent Quotes
Fourth quarter results from continuing operations met or exceeded our long-term targets for earnings, revenues and, on a pro forma basis, return on equity. Higher spending by affluent consumers, small businesses and corporate Card members more than offset the impact of an industry-wide spike in bankruptcy filings before new legislation went into effect last October.
-

From time to time, we intend to monetize the value of our more mature assets, and use the proceeds to fund new development and for other corporate purposes.

If a Democratic administration had pursued the fiscal policies and put the nation in the fiscal posture it's now in, the business community would be outraged and on the ramparts.

Asset Quotes
For me to get worried about the stock market, you have to show me signs that corporate bonds are getting weak and all this debt coming due isn't going to be rolled over. If you can't roll the debt over, you have to start valuing stocks on an asset basis. If you can roll it over, you have to start valuing it on an operating earnings basis. There's a huge difference in price between those two.

Actual Quotes
What most employees do not realize is that corporate rebates and incentives are enacted when the employee population reaches thresholds outlined in their vendor contracts. Meaning, while an employee thinks the actual cost of his or her airline ticket is $500, the actual cost may be much less. And in most cases preferred supplier contracts contain volume commitments that, if not met, could jeopardize an entire contract and cost the company millions in lost discounts based on non-performance. This is precisely why compliance with preferred vendors and contracted rates is critical.
