Just as a good reputation is vital for the social standing of a person, goodwill is vital to the long-term success of any business. Some of the ways in which business goodwill affects a business are mentioned below.
•Goodwill in a business increases the number of return customers and recommendations based on their pleasant experiences.
•A well-established business goodwill increases the chances of loan sanctions from a bank and the interest of potential investors.
•It strengthens the business networks, opens new avenues and creates opportunities for expansion in business.
•In case of a blunder or mistake, people are more forgiving to a business based on the goodwill it garners, much like the mistakes of an individual with a ‘good name’ will be given the benefit of doubt.
•In any business, goodwill provides ammunition against resistance and sabotage.
•The equity value and the accounting value of a business are greatly affected by the goodwill of that business.
•As mentioned in the beginning of this article, goodwill is one of the major intangible assets of any business. Greater the goodwill of a business, greater the value of its intangible assets and thus, greater the acquisition price in a takeover.
How to Develop Goodwill in Business

Goodwill in a business takes a considerable amount of time, efforts and resources to be developed. The key factors for developing goodwill in a business are listed below:
•Quality Product and Services: Nothing is more important for the life of goodwill in a business than the standard and quality of the products and services it offers.
•Unique Selling Proposition: A good business always has a USP by which it is identified – there has to be something in the business for people to be attracted to it.
•Satisfied Customer Base: A customer is more likely to return or recommend the services of a business if he/she has a pleasant and satisfactory experience in the first instance. Following good business ethics goes a long way in impressing customers and investors.
•Marketing and Advertisements: A business which is under the spotlight for the right reasons creates goodwill for itself. Offers, discounts and even Samaritan deeds in a business ensures its place in the good books. Read the rest of this entry »

An economic model is a framework used to predict economic trends with a considerable degree of precision. They are used at the micro and macro level. The primary purpose of an ideal economic model should be to take the analyst as close to reality as possible. Unfortunately, even with the presence of several techniques, economic models can end up being disastrously misleading. Speaking of techniques, critics of economic models are coming down heavily on their blatant failure to predict any crisis. Here are some reasons.

Flawed Techniques
Human behavior is too erratic to be having a mathematical representation. Stochastic models allow a lot of randomness, whereas non-stochastic economic models pump in too much of logic, especially when it comes to predicting consumer choices, making the results go haywire. Ultimately, an algorithmic equation cannot replace the complex human thought process. Adding variables to it will only make it applicable in a ‘perfect’ world.

Unfeasible Qualitative Models
Bringing in equations to mimic human behavior is the basic flaw in economic models. But the absence of any mathematical representation, as in the case of qualitative models, increases the unreliability factor further. Qualitative models have the reputation of being imprecise.

Ignoring Simplification
Considering the complexity of arriving at a decision in business, an economic model is created with the aim of making things simpler. It plays the role of a guide, giving us a feel of the real world conditions. However, by bringing in too many variables, it ends up being the exact opposite. Models that are too complex make interpretation difficult, thus defeating the purpose of having one in the first place.

‘Good’ is Not ‘Practical’
What defines a ‘good’ economic model? The one that is crammed with variables to paint an accurate picture of reality? Or is it the one that zeroes in on the nature of the problem, making appropriate recommendations to combat it? No prizes for guessing that it is the second one. Trouble starts brewing when economists get carried away trying to make it a mathematical procedure by compromising on reality. There exists a thin line between ‘good’ and ‘useful’, really.

The following is a quick list of some of the really good small investments which you can make as of today. A very quick overview of the significant pros and cons, and some of the really good features of the options have also been discussed. Take a look…

1. Government Bonds and Other Treasury Bills
One of the best ways of stowing away small amounts of money for shorter time periods is into treasury bills and bond. Treasury, bills, notes, bonds, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), I Savings, EE/E Savings are some of the best channels, most of which require about only $100 minimum investment. The advantage of such an investment option is that you can pay off the investment and wait till it matures, whereupon you can enjoy the returns. Some of these bonds and State government bonds and municipal bonds are some similar investments.

2. Common Stock, Corporate Bonds and Debentures
There are three types of contributions to the capital of a company. Common stock, corporate bonds and debentures are some of the common ones. All the three can be traded freely, and bonds and debentures also have a certain maturity or expiration dates upon which a certain accumulated interest is also paid off as a return on the same. The bonds and debentures are perfect investments, all you have to do is invest into them and wait for the returns. On the other hand, stocks or rather shares are the investments where you need to keep a tab on the prices of shares in which you have invested.

3. Systematic Investment Plans and Collective Investment Schemes
The Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) and Collective Investment Schemes (CIS) are professionally managed plans, such as mutual funds wherein you need to invest small sums of money periodically in the fund. In case of SIP, the amount that is to be invested, is not specified or mandatory, in fact for certain years, one may not even invest anything. The Collective Investment Schemes on the other hand have a certain mandatory investment is to be invested every year. Read the rest of this entry »
