Specifically, almost seven in 10 (69 per cent) said their organizations have enhancements to existing products or services planned in the next 12 months.  The results generally contradict Canada’s reputation as a nation ingrained with ultra-conservative business practices – practices that helped weather the economic storm over the last two years, says Barry Cross, an instructor at Queen’s School of Business.  But, we could definitely be doing more.  In many cases, our efforts in innovation are misdirected or compromised through a waste of resources elsewhere.</description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:22:35 -0400</pubDate><guid>http://business.queensu.ca/news/2010/08-25-2010-Companies_Can_Turn_Lean_Times_into_Big_Success_Queens_Expert.php</guid></item><item><title>International youth meet at Queen's School of Business </title><link>http://business.queensu.ca/news/2010/08-09-2010-International_youth_meet_at_Queens_School_of_Business .php</link><description>Queen's School of Business hosts our world's future international business leaders this week at the 40th Annual Next Generation Leaders (NGL) Forum.
