Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly widely recognized that focusing on maximizing market share may not be the best route to business success. Indeed, some well-known US companies have achieved leading market shares but have seen a decline in their profitability, and therefore their share values, in the 1990s. A more viable route to business success is to identify profit zones and to be prepared to avoid certain types of business.

Article Abstract:
The Environmental Reporting Awards ceremony, organised by the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants, was held at the Royal Geographical Society London, England. It was won by BT in 1993 but it omitted comparative and financial data. It was not integrated with the main accounts and lacked independent witness. Reporting against published objectives and local communication methods are recent developments.
