At the core of
every business are the fundamental office productivity
applications that support nearly every business function.
The Microsoft Office suite of applications is so familiar
that many managers probably assume they know everything they
need to know about its capabilities.

manager, there are numerous new features-some subtle, some

Forget Luck

 “Good
luck,” said the manager to the salesperson leaving for an
important sales call. “Wish me luck,” said the student to
his mother as he left for school to take an important test.
“Boy, were we lucky,” said the lawyer to his partners after
winning the case.
You’ve probably heard it said that “Luck is when
opportunity and preparation meet,” and “The harder I work,
the luckier I get.” These are really truisms.
Take fishing for example. The people who consistently
catch fish have a knowledge of the species — the feeding
habits of fish, their preferred water temperature and
clarity. They invest the time to study and then apply what
they learn by keeping records of productive fishing spots,
weather conditions, type of bait or lure used, and the speed
of retrieval used.

Social networking: Is your
identity at risk?
reprinted with permission from HP
 The total number
of users on the social networking site Facebook has now
soared above the 200 million mark. Just to put that into
perspective: if Facebook were a country, it would be the
fifth largest on Earth, after China, India, the U.S. and
Indonesia. According to a recent report by ComScore, the
number of European Facebook subscribers has grown by 314%
over the past year to nearly 100 million users.
Due to the
site’s popularity, many organizations (including HP) have
recognized Facebook’s value in promoting their products and
services. And everyone from British actor Stephen Fry to
President Barack Obama has a Facebook page. Unfortunately,
many of the aspects that make Facebook and other social
networking sites so popular also make them a prime hunting
ground for identity thieves, online scam artists and
criminals.
However, there are a few measures you can and
should take to protect yourself.
