Return-on-investment (ROI) - while there's no hard and fast formula that reaches across all businesses to determine the financial consequences of investments, decisions and actions, just ask any business owner what keeps them up at night and you'll start to hear common themes around what matters most. Sales, cash flow, margin and staff are all among the challenges that businesses face across the globe in all sectors.
Take for instance the financial sector. For the third year, BRW and ANZ commissioned a research report into private companies to examine the challenges, priorities and the outlook for the banking industry. Key themes concerning private business in 2010 include attracting and retaining good staff, finding staff with management skills, staff performance and business efficiency. Sound familiar?
