When I began to make the rest of the states "my community" I started to see better. Now that I'm using social networks like this one to make the world 'my comunity" the opportunity to "see" that much better grew 50 fold.

Good Evening

2009 will be the year I finalize my book "On Delivery" , this book will not only cover the life story of my business and software products,but will also give a insight for entrepreneurs wanting to enter the logistics business!

The book will be in e-book format and every registered user will get access to our online Winfreight and Warehouse-It versions, this will enable them to understand the methodology involved with day to day running of a logistics company!

Regards
Mike Shraga

Hi, Zahid invited me to put a few words on my book, Make Poverty Business. See below.
Poor people in developing countries could make excellent suppliers, employees and customers but are often ignored by major businesses. This omission leads to increased risk, higher costs and lower sales. Meanwhile, businesses are asked by governments and poverty activists to do more for economic development, but their exhortations are rarely based on a proper business case. ‘Make Poverty Business’ bridges the gap by constructing a rigorous profit-making argument for multinational corporations to do more business with the poor. It takes economic development out of the corporate social responsibility ghetto and places it firmly in the core business interests of the corporation, and argues that to see the poor only as potential consumers misses half of the story. The book should be read by international business managers seeking to increase profits and decrease risk in developing countries, and by development advocates who seek to harness the profit motive to reduce poverty.
