A realistic approach to risk-taking

Article Abstract:

Investors in Industry (3i) is one of the leading venture capital firms in the UK. The group invests about 1 million pounds sterling per day in companies that would otherwise have no access to capital markets. 3i invests in about 300 new and young ventures annually. Unlike other venture capital firms, 3i does not require a majority stake in the businesses it invests in, nor does the group seek to exit the venture within 5 to 7 years of the start-up. The 3i group instead remains a minority partner indefinitely. As a result, 3i pays close attention to the long-term strategic plan of a new business venture before making an investment decision.

Business skills and how to master them

Article Abstract:

An increased demand for people with Masters in Business Administration (MBA) qualifications in the management consulting divisions of many accounting firms has prompted several firms, such as Arthur Young, to offer in-house or college-directed MBA degree programs. Employees can obtain academic credit while working. Firms offering the training are hoping to attract and keep talented employees.
