5. Launch the program. The indicators are all project management and management can be applied in all areas of the company. The administration must inform each employee how he is to be measured, specifying the benefits that have to comply, but also the penalties for those who cover it. 6 . Feedback.

If first time implement a program of indicators to be open to amend, modify and expand the way they measure. It is a dynamic method. If strategies change, indicators must change to maintain alignment. What is the best way to measure and who stands? The person measuring and collecting information should be independent of the subject of measurement, so as to ensure the fairness and reliability in the data. What you need to define is: – Software: It requires a high investment or sophisticated? Do not go to convert the measurement method in a much more expensive than what you measured.

You can start with Excel spreadsheet and as you familiarize yourself and grow, you can use more specialized software. – Frequency? The shorter the better, because it is so early enough to monitor the results of the different areas assessed. There are indicators that can be reviewed daily, weekly or monthly. Others will demand according to its type to be reviewed every month. We are required to link benefits with indicators? If we want all employees of the organization to commit to the strategy of the company, which meet the expectations mainly product and customer expectations, the best way is to have management indicators related to this, but the employee is aware if is an indicator and achieved greater efficiency, performance will be better and greater. Good indicators of management, are efficient tools for motivating employees towards better outcomes that will lead to better outcomes for the company as such.

One of the best ways to make money online is to create our own products and sell them on the net, but it is also true that there is no easy create our own product. Fortunately there are affiliate products, which are products created by third persons, where these people as a means of marketing their products, offer everyone the opportunity to sell those products in exchange for a commission on each sale.

Although there is an international consensus even on the protection that should be given to computer programs (in United States and Japan, for example, are protected by patents), Spanish legislation are protected by intellectual property law, in Title VII of computer programs. There is no doubt that the software is a product of the intellect, and part of the creative activity of the author, although it is difficult to raise the concept of originality against other types of works. Thus, it covers under intellectual property and not industry, enjoying a number of benefits. The term of protection of copyright is 70 years after the author’s death (where it is a legal person is 70 years after the disclosure), against 20 that are established in the patent. Moreover, this protection is automatic, it is born at the moment when a person creates a work, and covers the preparatory documentation, the possible versions and derivative programs. However, a computer program can be protected patent through its registration, but raises the inconvenient that everyone can access the source code. Intellectual property gives to the author rights of exploitation that can be transmitted. These include being able to exploit a series of licenses as use or reproduction, distribution or commercialization licenses (excludes except rent agreed) or license of transformation, which allows the adaptation of the programme to the needs of the user or its translation.

However, even if holder’s authorization is not available, the law allows a lawful user reproduction, transformation and error correction required for the programme, the necessary backup, the in-depth study of the principles of the program and playback. In the so-called information society it does not doubt of the importance of these values and intangible goods in the company. About the software, not to be a tangible product and be developed in small computer media, the rights of the intellectual property can be infringed easily, so it must be in mind as regards its legal protection, since in many cases they have a value higher than the active materials of the company.

The famous mergers and consolidations have concentrated their power even more by investing large sums of money developing new drugs, integrated circuits, software and all kinds of machinery and equipment. Accelerated development and growth of small and medium enterprises and franchise: It indicates, for those who have studied the tropics, these companies currently generate a significant amount of products of the countries have the advantage of being more agile and flexible to adapt to changes, in addition to having lower fixed costs than large companies. The latest information says that among them are forming networks that enable them to create international partnerships to share markets and resources. There are cases where these networks are formed around large enterprises to participate as suppliers and distributors them. Another method that is very fashionable at the moment and promises them a bright future are franchises, including the expansion of a mark, where the receiver of the franchise should provide the necessary capital and human resources, while issuer provides the name, technology and organization. In either case, the trend is towards the internationalization of companies, the consolidation of global markets, the consolidation of oligopolies and the formation of global business networks. Of course the use of franchising involves many aspects to consider in its operations in such a way that fosters their ulizacion, but that is the subject of another paper The disappearance of borders for trade and finance: Over It notes that Globalization is a concept that is part of our lives, and that opening the U.S.
