• Defining the role of warehouse supervisor

  Ken Ackerman Distribution & Warehousing

  Most people want to do a good job every day, and warehouse workers are no exception. However, management must first define exactly what a "good job" is. Should management fail to provide a standard, the worker will do it on his own, and the self-defined "good job" might not be as productive as it should be.

  Bambi Majumdar Food & Beverage

  ​March is National Nutrition Month, and the theme for 2017 is "​Put Your Best Fork Forward." No, it's not about dining etiquette, but instead refers to making smart food and diet choices. National Nutrition Month was first celebrated in 1980, and it was started by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to encourage people to make healthier meal choices. Their efforts have paid off since people are much more aware of their diet and health today than they were more than three decades ago.

  Paul Zukowski Business Management, Services & Risk Management

  There are a few signs of things taking off in wrong directions in the U.S. economy this month. Then again, some things never change, such as the inability of economists to accurately predict monthly job gains — the Bloomberg survey expected 190,000 in February, while the reality was 235,000.

  Sydney Scrogham Transportation Technology & Automotive

  Porsche. The name is known in competition, but Amelia Island wanted it to be known more for friendship. Amelia Island, Florida, held many big events last weekend, but we're focusing on two — the Werks Reunion on March 10 and the Concours d'Elegance on March 11.

  A 2012 episode of the TV series "The Good Wife" named "Bitcoin for Dummies" told a story about the three possible and mysterious Bitcoin founders. It also predicted that crypto-currency would be the money of the future. Not many took it seriously, yet today we are faced with the real possibility of ​using only digital currency. This is even more true for the travel and tourism segment, which has to deal with complex rules and regulations across regions and businesses.
