• Starting a Business

Eastern Europe and Central Asia saw reform in 10 economies. Six reduced the running-around time for entrepreneurs by creating one-stop shops. Albania took registration out of the courts and merged company, social security, labor and tax registrations. Before, entrepreneurs had to wait more than a month to start doing business; now it's just 8 days. Azerbaijan's one-stop shop reduced delays by 2 weeks, Slovenia's by 6. Bulgaria, the Kyrgyz Republic and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia undertook reforms similar to Azerbaijan's. And while Czech entrepreneurs still have to obtain multiple documents, the new "Project Czech Point" allows them to do so at one place. Lebanon and Oman improved the efficiency of their one-stop shops. What used to take 46 days in Lebanon now takes 11. Tun...

• Closing a Business

Four Eastern European economies joined Poland in streamlining bankruptcy procedures. Latvia passed a new insolvency law in November 2007. Now financially distressed companies can choose to continue operating by pursuing reorganization. Like Poland, Latvia also tightened the qualification standards for bankruptcy administrators. So did Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Czech Republic's Insolvency Act took effect on January 1, 2008. The law introduces reorganization as the preferred method for resolving insolvency, mandates stricter deadlines, establishes an electronic insolvency register and sets new qualification standards for trustees. Expanding creditors' rights has been the most popular reform feature over the past 5 years (figure 11.5). Seventeen economies have empowered creditors: China,...

In July 2008, bankruptcy courts across the US prepared themselves for a busy season.

• Moneyball: A Business Perspective

Moneyball (Lewis, 2003) is a book about baseball. The book describes how a small-market Major League Baseball team, the Oakland Athletics, has been able to compete with large-market teams by being innovative in a tradition-laden industry. However, when read through a business management lens, one discerns that this baseball book, in fact, has general management lessons in a variety of areas including leadership, innovation, overcoming resistance to change, and creating a sustainable competitive advantage. In this article, we outline and illustrate the valuable lessons for business that emerge from the Moneyball story. More specifically, we provide a brief overview of the book; summarize arguments for applying Moneyball ideas to management as presented in the popular media as well as in ...
