IN BRIEF


Euromold 2005 Wrap-up

The twelfth annual EuroMold trade fair for mold making and tooling, design and application development was held in Frankfurt Germany Nov. 29 - Dec. 2, 2005. The show featured two new topics: Medical Technology and Virtual Technology.

Unlike most plastic and tooling exhibitions, EuroMold has no resin manufacturers or processors exhibiting making it a show exclusively intended for mold designers and mold builders. Click Here to review who was there and what was on display.

Good to Great:
Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't

By Jim Collins

Five years ago, Jim Collins asked the question, "Can a good company become a great company and if so, how?" In Good to Great Collins, the author of Built to Last, concludes that it is possible, but finds there are no silver bullets. Collins and his team of researchers began their quest by sorting through a list of 1,435 companies, looking for those that made substantial improvements in their performance over time. They finally settled on 11--including Fannie Mae, Gillette, Walgreens, and Wells Fargo--and discovered common traits that challenged many of the conventional notions of corporate success. 
--Harry C. Edwards
