Better Brainstorming
Thursday, July 15th, 2010So what are the top 5 industries set for growth in Australia in 2010/11?
Thursday, July 15th, 2010IBIS World Forecasts the top 5 industries set to fly in 2010/11.
With the new financial year upon us, business information research and analysis group IBISWorld has compiled its annual list of Australian industries set to fly and fall in the next 12 months. According to IBISWorld, organic farming will be the biggest winner in 2010-2011 as Australians consider the health benefits and environmental impacts of their food choices, while insulation services will be the biggest loser following the federal government’s scrapping of its Home Insulation Program. Also, IBISWorld forecasts wildly contrasting fortunes for major industries in Australia’s communications sector.
Whereas most of the world’s developed nations remain bogged down by the fallout from the ongoing global financial crisis, Australia’s outlook for the new financial year is relatively positive says IBISWorld, with it forecasting Australia’s economic growth to reach 3.7% in 2010-2011.
According to IBISWorld, the Australian industries set to fly and fall in the new financial year include:

This is an amazing visual look at the war in Afghanistan
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010I know that this slide show doesn’t have anything to do with business, but it really does make that far away war in Afghanistan seem a whole lot more real. These are very moving pictures and not over sensationalised “PR” snaps. Very impressive.
