Many have asked us as to what we mean by editorials and in what way are they different from our management articles because editorials also deal with the subject of management. It is simple. Articles on management cover the topic concerned, both theory and practice. They may or may not cover real life situations or involve any case studies. However, editorials are concerned with current, past, general and real life business and management issues involving people or organizations or governments. However, the term editorial in the past literally meant the views of the Chief Editor and was published in the pages without ads. In the modern, highly commercial world it is no longer practiced.  Thank you and have a good day, Information & Public Relations - MMG Communications for Madgopes.com  Editorials and Newsletters archives Index - Restricted to paying members HP "pretexting' fiasco and the 'group think' phenomenon End of the Enron Saga Problems of SMEs SEC and insider trading Browser Wars - MSIE versus Firefox Money Management as a lucrative business Airline Business - problems and opportunities - Updated after the merger of Jet Airways with Sahara Airlines in India in April 2007 Leveraged Buyouts Search engine wars - Google versus Yahoo Oil price and its impact on economies Differentiating the men from the boys in business - Get Noticed - Go Half Naked like Mahatma Gandhi Disparities in the wealth of nations Balancing size with profitability ATT's buyout and merger of Bell-South and Vodafone's bid for Hutchison Essar in India - Updated after the acquisition Using web mail for both office and personal use - The issues Biggest is not necessarily the best - It may be the worst The game and reality shows on TV and other broadcasting stations Vulnerabilities in Software, Hackers and Software Security Companies Tata Steels acquisition of Corus and the outlook for the Indian steel industry Investment Opportunities in East African Union The changing face of socio-economic structure in India Problems and opportunities for CROs in India - The latest sunrise industry Reservations & Quotas in institutions of higher learning in India - The Issues Students and Teachers - The gap in understanding each other that is developing into a chasm, which cannot be easily bridged Online Advertising Marketing of Drugs to Minority Groups - The anti-diabetes drug 'Avandia' Case Future trends in private equity investments Do highly diversified conglomerates have no hope of survival ?
