Just say no" has never been an effective strategy for fighting substance abuse. The author found that it doesn't work particularly well when it comes to technology either. There is a clever little blog that the author keeps up with via RSS. It's called RulesofThumb.org. A rule of thumb turns information you have into information you need. The goal of this Web site is to gather every rule of thumb on earth into one gargantuan, easily searchable online reference database that will be accessible from anywhere in the world and continue to grow forever. With the proverbial caveat that free advice is often worth exactly what you pay for it, you'll find a fair amount of conventional wisdom on this site that just seems to make sense, or at least it is good for a chuckle.

The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires that agencies publish semiannual regulatory agendas in the Federal Register describing regulatory actions they are developing that may have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities (5 U.S.C. 602). Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' signed September 30, 1993 (58 FR 51735), and Office of Management and Budget memoranda implementing section 4 of that Order establish minimum standards for agencies' agendas, including specific types of information for each entry. The Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda) helps agencies fulfill these requirements. All Federal regulatory agencies have chosen to publish their regulatory agendas as part of the Unified Agenda. Edi...

This paper extends the concept of self-organization from the natural sciences to management and proposes a by enterprises. The process of self-organization is a characteristic of those complex adaptive systems that are far-from equilibrium, and results in the creation of order in a system by the internal interactions between agents leading to stronger adaptive capability. This paper presents a synthesis of the concept of self-organization suitable for management with communication as its central focus. Results from an empirical study in three Australian small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) indicate that an adequate level of three key factors-trust level, open communication and strength of the value s...
