							<description><![CDATA[It’s been a rough month for small-cap stocks.  This is plainly evident in the poor performance of the Russell 2000 Small-cap Index.  Based on today’s close, it’s down 4.7% versus just 1.1% for the S&amp;P 500 so far this April.  After outperforming the large-cap benchmark in the first three months of 2013, the gain in the Russell 2000 now stands at 6.8% compared to 8.8% for the S&amp;P 500 on a year-to-date basis.]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[Contrary to popular belief incentive pay has limited positive effect on performance of employees or executives. According to Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton in their must read book, Hard Facts, Half-Truths and Total Nonsense: Profiting from Evidence-Based Management, “individual incentives and highly differentiated reward and recognition distributions make more sense when performance can be objectively assessed and when performance is mostly the result of individual effort rather than the product of interdependent activity.” For example, sales people and golf pros perform better when pay is contingent on performance. ]]></description>

As a result, we are more dependent on each other than our “American” independent spirit may want to acknowledge. We were raised on the myth of the “individual” who can rise to the top and do anything if he or she only tries hard enough. That generally only gets us so far anymore.]]></description>

							<description><![CDATA[When solving problems within operations, it’s possible to do so partially and to have said problem manifest itself again and again with various mutations that would make us think we’re dealing with multiple issues. By completely and thoroughly resolving the core issue, we can accomplish two things: stop wasting resources dealing with problems from the same core issue and create sustainable improvement in the organization.

But then I cuddled up in bed last night with Chris Wickam’s 2009 volume, The Inheritance of Rome.

Medical device manufactures use it to keep us healthy. You and I use it to get to work every day as a distributed network of hundreds of sensors relay vital information to the dashboards of the cars we drive. If the current trends continue, we’ll all be using M2M more and more in the future.]]></description>
