Resources needs selling

Closing scenarios are influenced by the lack of financial resources needed for investments, typically calculated for a pay-back-time of 10-15 years. Generally, hospitals do not have such sums at their disposal to match those of industry, where 10-15 % reinvestments of the annual volumes of sales are current. Benchmarking with industrial production cannot be more than a virtual cost comparison, because the two markets differ fundamentally and most of the products of hospital production do not compete with industrial ones. In trade, sellers get paid for what they sell. In care, providers get paid for what they do. As a result, it is even not important to analyse and compare cost structures. Some components of cost are only, or mainly, found in industry but not in hospital pharmacies, e.g. gains (around 10 % of the ex-factory price),... 

Here are a few sites we wish anyone buying a baby present for us would surf. Some sell (adorable) clothes and baby blankets others stock toys not made of plastic.

Efforts to translate technical success into commercial success are full of pitfalls. Waste plastics recycling is a billion dollar market in which a few companies sell recycled products to a multitude of industrial firms worldwide. The waste plastics market is voluminous and small firms order this resource in large quantities only when it is needed. 

The benefits of implementing these teamwork strategies will not be immediate. The "sell" for teamwork is analogous to the "sell" for safety. Safety leaders are well aware of the need to perform certain inconvenient, inefficient, and even xmcomfortable safety-related behaviors in order to reap the potential long-term benefits of injury prevention. Likewise, the rewards of teamwork require substantial up-front investment in resources, time, and collective effort. 

Unnecessary or unjustified specialties. Products with more variations than are really needed by the customer or that are sufficiently undifferentiated from others in that they cannot command a price premium. Try consolidating or selling off these products terminate them as a last resort, and redeploy the resources previously used to sustain them. 

The retail price of a book and the munbers sold tend to reflect the complexity and accessibility of information at these different levels. More-technical, comprehensive books cost more and sell fewer copies. For example, in 40 years, the five-volume Flora (Hitchcock et al., 1959-69) at US 375 has sold fewer than 5000 copies. In a little less time, the condensed Flora, at the next level down, at 60 has sold 10 times as many. Plants of the Pacific Northwest coast (Pojar and MacKinnon, 2004), on the fourth level, was intended for a broad market, as the back-cover copy states . .. residents who want to know more about their natural surroundings students, scientists and resource specialists who require an up-to-date reference. .. and travellers who need a relatively simple and easy-to-use guide . Covering a more limited geographical area than the Flora, and priced at 20, it has sold more than 100 000 copies in 13 years.
