SA Guide to...
Are you motivated enough to work at home?
Probably everyone has wanted to work from home at one stage. It really is almost a romantic notion – to be ‘’a loner’’, ‘’forge your own path’’ or ‘’dare to dream’’. While all those things can probably be said about most people who work at home, the truth is work is work.

SA Guide to Working from Home is available from all CNA's @ R39.95

BizSmarts News
SA entrepreneurs climb on eBay bandwagon
Last year PayPal began accepting South African credit cards. PayPal, an eBay company, enables any individual or business with an email address to send and receive payments online securely, easily and quickly. With the full functionality of PayPal now available for South African users, starting your own business with eBay as your primary sales platform is as easy as setting up a Hotmail address.
Crisis communication reality reveals a sad state of affairs
A company's reputation is its greatest asset. It can take years to build, but seconds to destroy. Crises are however inevitable, with chaos abounding in the world, whether acts of terrorism, corporate adversity or natural disasters. Still, research shows that within the next ten years, it's unlikely that the majority of corporations would have engaged in comprehensive crisis preparedness planning.
BEE should no longer be an issue in 10 years
In 10 years time the formal approach to black economic empowerment will no longer be necessary in SA if empowerment is really working. Ken de Villiers, CEO of Arcay Investments, says if it is still necessary to have empowerment codes and legislative backing for empowerment, then it will have failed.
Cellphone banking booms
Despite research house BMI-T's predictions otherwise, FNB Mobile and Transact Solutions CEO, Len Pienaar, says that the response from users of the bank’s cellphone banking solution has far exceeded even its wildest expectations.
Local Elections: Golden Opportunity for Business
The 2003 Growth and Development Summit agreements had local-level planning, economic development and service delivery mechanisms among its pillars.
