Input costs
28 March 2008 | Steve Bagshaw
Over the last two days we have reported on food companies being forced into operational changes under the strain of high input costs.
Only yesterday rice – which apparently provides one fifth of all the calories consumed by humans worldwide – hit a record high, jumping 30 per cent to $760 (£377) a tonne.
Have you seen high input costs affecting other areas? And if so, how’s your organisation working to combat them?

Business networking is no simple task for a management coach. It requires hundreds of complex tasks which can only be performed by highly skilled management coaches. Others told me that maintaining focused websites will help. Do you think the use of websites like yours will make a difference for a management coach?
