China, ROA and Funny Business Names
Today I am hosting Carnival of the Capitalists over at the RFID Weblog. Carnival just keeps getting more and more popular all the time -- this week's round-up had nearly 50 entries. Some great stuff -- let me point you to just a few of the posts that are small business and entrepreneur-related:
  • A Crack in eBay's Facade? - Ezra Marbach at the China Stock Blog notes that eBay claims to be the number 1 online auction in China, but presents evidence suggesting that Chinese competitor, Alibaba's Taobao.com, is pulling ahead and may be gaining.


  • The 3 R's of Business Plans - Rosa Say at Talking Story defines ROI, something you've no doubt heard of. But she also defines two new terms to consider in business plans: ROA and ROR.


  • The Pun-Based Shop Name - For some light humor check out Wordlab's post about pun-based shop names. Small business owners are notorious for coming up with some of the funniest names for their businesses -- usually plays on film titles, famous lines or other phrases.
But, heck, don't limit yourself to these few posts. Check them all out.
