<title>Sourcing In China - An Overview Before Getting Started</title>
<link>http://www.work-at-home-index.net/sourcing-in-china.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Global sourcing has become less a strategic advantage and more a competitive necessity. Fierce competition is driving many companies to source in low cost countries. The expectations of more return on investment combined with increased competition drive executives to seek reductions in expenditures, making an immediate and direct impact on the bottom line. At the same time, they are challenged to maintain service levels and prevent any loss of control.]]></description>

<link>http://www.work-at-home-index.net/featurearticle1837.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[There's a quiet revolution going on in corporate America. It's not coming exclusively from the top of the leadership pyramid, although more and more CEOs are leading the way.

<title>The Great Fear of Niching... and Why You Need to Get Over It!</title>
<link>http://www.work-at-home-index.net/featurearticle1836.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Do you find yourself offering a wide range of products and services, trying to offer anything that you can to everyone that you meet? I certainly did, when I started my business! I offered every service that I thought I could perform-from design, to CD burning, to printing (off of my home inkjet printer!), to typing and transcription. Once, I even helped a family pack for a move-I had the spare time in my schedule, and it paid a few bucks!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many business owners get very worked up about the issue of "The Competition". But there are many things to keep in mind about "Them" as you define your competition and plan marketing materials that stand out: Big businesses aren't your only competition.

<title>Starting Your Own Education Agency</title>
<link>http://www.work-at-home-index.net/starting-education-agency.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Many students that study abroad book their course of study through an agent or consultant in their home country. Even though the internet has made direct bookings possible students often prefer to deal face to face with a representative of an agency in their home country who speaks their native language. Language schools that I work with say that approximately three quarters of their enrollments come through agencies.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In today's marketplace you can have a good idea for a business and that is where it stops. In the business world we fail to teach alternative concepts because most concepts are taught are practiced by scammers or people that have no experience. For example, we are commonly taught that if you need money to finance a business, you go to the bank.

<title>How To Buy A Franchise Without Losing Your Shirt... And Pants</title>
<link>http://www.work-at-home-index.net/how-to-buy-a-franchise.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[I frequently get letters from readers about acquiring a franchise. Any franchise, whether it relates to marketing or not, needs to be approached with a great deal of caution and common sense. This article is not the definitive "how to" in this area; but if you follow these steps, you will have avoided several of the not-so-obvious traps and pitfalls that cause prospective franchisees lots of trouble. Start with all the documents the franchiser must, under Federal law, provide. Read them carefully. Get your attorney to look them over too. Don't use your regular attorney, though. Pick one that has a verifiable track record in franchise law. ]]></description>
