Link article, By Jeff Schmitt How to Interview Internal Candidates
"Even when there's little chance you'll choose the internal candidate, make the interview worthwhile for both of you—and avoid creating a disgruntled employee.
For many companies, interviewing internal candidates is a common courtesy. It reinforces an image that the playing field is level and everyone has a chance to move up. Even with the best intentions, most companies can't escape a precarious dichotomy. Most employees join companies hoping for something bigger. They make sacrifices, believing they'll eventually be rewarded. Deep inside, they measure themselves against that career clock, wondering if they've fallen behind. Conversely, employers have a role to fill. Mistakes are costly and companies lack the time, expertise, and support systems to help an emerging talent grow into the role.(...)"

There is a trend lately that is moving toward small companies having greater success with social media than larger companies. Small companies don’t have to invest as much to make a big impact. Small companies hold the keys to success.

If you set up a routine that is easy to follow and yields positive results, you will be more inclined to stick to it. That applies to all businesses, however, smaller companies, because their size makes them easier to manage, generally start to see results more readily than larger companies.

At I.M.F., Men on Prowl and Women on Guard

WASHINGTON — It is an international island in the midst of the American capital, a sharp-elbowed place ruled by alpha male economists. The days are long, and employees are regularly pressed together for weeks on end during overseas “missions.” It is a climate in which romances often flourish — and lines are sometimes crossed.

Some women avoid wearing skirts for fear of attracting unwanted attention. Others trade whispered tips about overly forward bosses. A 2008 internal review found few restraints on the conduct of senior managers, concluding that “the absence of public ethics scandals seems to be more a consequence of luck than good planning and action.”

Give us the IMF job, Europe shrieks

CNN Anchor, Richard Quest

The Europeans are in a tricky position. They desperately want to keep the top job at the IMF, but they can’t be seen to be nakedly saying “it’s ours by right.”

So leaders from European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso to finance ministers from Austria, Sweden and Denmark, (in fact just about anyone from Europe who has opened their mouth on the subject), are turning linguistic cartwheels to promote a European solution.

The Consumer Engagement Company

“Social media can help brands understand how to keep their customers engaged and satisfied. And as we all know engaged and loyal customers mean higher value sales and ultimately more profits.“

What is social media and how can it work for your business?

The benefits that can be gained from a good social media strategy, are, but not limited to:
- increased access to your target market
- building of relationships with prospective clients and current clients
- researching and understanding what your competitors are doing and how you can differentiate in a competitive market
- quick access to 100s of people who should be hearing about what you can do for them
- financially low cost to join (but! you can lose a lot of time and money if you do it wrong)
- your efforts and time can be measured against the results that you are looking for (so, one ad in the paper reaches how many people… do you even know who looks at it? with social media you can see who visits your site from facebook or twitter etc)
- brand reputation – knowing who says what about you, your industry or your competitors anytime
- search engine friendly – your ranking goes up the more site you are participating in
- referral marketing – people buy from who they know and who knows who!

G20 reaches deal on imbalance indicators

French G20 leadership on commodity prices

The world's leading economies agreed on a compromise after "frank, sometimes tense" negotiations, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde said.

The deal was agreed after softening criteria on current account surpluses to get China on board, reports suggest.

"The negotiations were frank, sometimes tense, and led to a final compromise which cannot attribute to any one delegation but which I can say represents a spirit of compromise and of ambition," Ms Lagarde told a news conference.
