Cost cutting necessarily does not help. From my experience, I have seen that organizations that have cut costs or don't pay their dues on time actually lose out. Not any one strategy can fit every individual company.

Strategies worth believing in

Nadir Khan: hitting with sarcasm says "the best way to run and win a marathon is to run fast at the beginning, run fast in the middle, and run fast at the end"... if only more people thought of this brilliant strategy. The fact is, you need to pace your strategy for a fiscal year, and not exhaust all your resources in one go.

Mohammad Nawaz, Business Services Manager: The sooner we realize that "it's not over yet", the better it is. We need to play our cards strategically correct. Think positive but do more than just thinking. There can only be survivors at the end of this hurricane - those who have the courage and patience to make it through all the tough times and still keep their footing. Surely, those who have braced themselves in the past are part of the top breed of the country.
