In his book, The Road Ahead, Bill Gates of Microsoft writes of “friction-free capitalism” made possible by developments in communications, chief among them the Internet and its World Wide Web.

This friction can be a function of distance between buyer and seller, costs of overcoming this distance, and incomplete or incorrect information.Friction manifests itself by causing barriers to entry for new competitors, limiting the number of outlets from w

Here's the question that was asked from the course:
"I feel really uncomfortable when my boss sets me a deadline and then half way through the piece of work I know that I can never meet the deadline set. I feel awkward and stupid going back to ask for more time and I just end up coming out with a list of excuses
- how can I approach this better?"
This is a great question!
A lot of us think that our boss will frown upon us by going back and asking for more time so instead we get all stressed out about the work and put in even more hours than the 10 hour day we were working in the first place!
Never make excuses with your boss. No-one likes to hear excuses, especially your boss!
Instead, renegotiating a deadline is all about making a subtle trade off.

IntroductionIn today's U.S. marketplace, marketing to various ethnic audiences is vital to consumer-oriented product and service companies.

Also, offer your boss alternatives and solutions. Make sure you always offer them choices.
Here's a great example:
