Getting There
Book Three of the trilogy is about 30% done, assuming that my page target is correct. There are a lot of plot elements to tie up properly, so this may take longer than expected. It definitely will run into next year.

| The author has written four books, with varying degrees of success. The Rook was completely wonderful, while the next two books were not quite so well designed (or at least not as unique). This fourth book works extremely well, since it combines his ...more | |

“The worst way to release bad news is to bury it in the financial statement footnotes, in the hope that no one will see it. A diligent investor or analyst always reads the footnotes, and will not appreciate having to dig so deep to uncover potentially critical information.”

“Lease assets. Be sure to institute the lease versus buy analysis that was covered in the last section. A lease may carry a relatively high implicit interest rate, but has the particular advantage of deferring the payment of cash to later periods.”

“Supplier Consolidation Once the purchasing process has been streamlined, as was described in the preceding sections, the next step is to pursue cost reduction activities. A significant cost reduction technique is to reduce the number of suppliers with which a company does business. By concentrating its orders with a smaller number of suppliers, it can use higher purchasing volume to negotiate price reductions, rebates, and discounts. This concept is addressed in more detail in Chapters 8 and 9. The following subtopics address various supplier consolidation issues at a general level. Bottom 10 Percent Besides concentrating order volume, another reason to consolidate suppliers is to eliminate the worst-performing ones. These are the suppliers that deliver the wrong items late and with low quality. Even if these suppliers offer what appear to be rock-bottom prices, the total cost of doing business with them is much higher, because the company is endlessly dealing with receiving inspections, product returns, and the processing of credits. Consequently, having a separate program to identify and eliminate a company’s lowest-rated suppliers can also reduce costs.”
