But such management systems, which often involve workplace teams, may hurt relations among co-workers, a new study suggests.
Workaholics have a bad reputation as people whose obsession with work is often harmful to themselves and possibly even bad for their companies.

Entrepreneurs think differently than corporate managers when it comes to making business decisions -- and not in ways that seem favorable at first glance.

The small retailers that survive and prosper in such a competitive environment tend to be independent stores and focus on providing knowledge-intensive service to their customers, according to researchers.
The hit film Titanic serves as more than just a way to entertain moviegoers and make millions of dollars for the creators, according to a researcher who has written about the disaster.

Within the next few years, many consumers across the country will have the opportunity to choose their electric utility just like they choose their long-distance phone service. And, for most people, that will mean lower prices, says an Ohio State University expert.
Young men who jump from one job to another in their early years after school don't seem to be hurting their later wages, a new national study suggests.
