How tiddlers become big hitters

Article Abstract:

Growth companies can provide rewards for investors, though they also involve risk. Factors affecting the growth of companies include stable management allowing for both the accumulation of knowledge and consistency in strategy. Growth companies also tend to focus on activities where they have expertise. They also tend to be involved in economic sectors undergoing expansion such as facilities management and outsourcing, and their market poisition tends to be strong. Basic industries tend to perform better than fashionable activities.

Book trade opts for price free-for-all

Article Abstract:

UK book publishers are abandoning an agreement to keep prices at set levels. Book retailers are to discount books and this could lead to problems for the smaller bookstores which may lose market share. The cost of production has risen with paper costs going up, while demand is slack. Publishers have been withdrawing from the agreement from 1993, and it is no longer workable. The agreement regulates the price of books for six months after they are published.
