At work in the giant's head after chopping it free from the body

Article Abstract:

It is possible to envision a brand leader, in the year 2047, that consists of little more than the resources that comprise the executive floor of a corporation in 1997. That future organization will have few tangible assets, because it will outsource everything from manufacturing to customer service. Its most important assets will be intangible, and its single most important asset will be brands.

Lending pressure puts the squeeze on home-loan quality

Article Abstract:

Home loan application quality in Australia has declined with a push to reduce administrative costs. A scramble for home loan business has left banks and lending institutions cost-cutting in aspects such as credit checks and property valuation. The loan process has become a less-personal commodity-based business. Insurers and lenders must work together to discuss loan administration issues.

Competition down and costs up, say new legislation's opponents

Article Abstract:

Australia passed a new Managed Investments Act on July 1, 1998. Critics feel that it will reduce competition in the market by making it more difficult and expensive for new managed funds to start out. Supporters believe that higher compliance costs will keep out unscrupulous companies from entering the business and simplify the regulatory system of the industry.
