Does workonomics take into account human behaviour? Thats where the entire problem begins..  Where do you draw the line where the fun at work stops and disillusionment begins?   As a businessman i might be encouraged to restrict my employees from unproductive activity, but this curbing of freedom has an effect on morale!   We just cannot thing about real world problems on a two dimensional sheet of paper, but the effort is ofcourse almost always worth it. :)  ","snambiar.com","2006-12-07 09:54:18");

Is it specific only on consulting side where we can see money behind every project or at other levels too. The other level here I mean, other professions. I am into a new assignment. Now I am into retail industry as a 'Business Analyst'. My job primarily here is to analyse various reports that is coming out and raise strategic questions and try to improve the performance. So here, is there any way I can use 'Return on Effect' concept.In case If I can use, it would be very much useful to at this time.  Krishna","www.krkrsna.blogspot.com","2006-12-13 04:12:10");
