Most of us are probably making a living working for a corporate alien already. After a few months of alien rambling about the "bottom line," some of us begin to feel like we should look for employment elsewhere. Remember that the world is becoming an alien corporation and no

Put your boss' face on a punching bag and use it daily.

While working with aliens, learn how to have fun with memos and e-mail. The lifeblood of the modern corporation is e-mail. This i

Combination pro

s what aliens call "communication." Even corporate janitors are required to have e-mail. So be it. Learn to use it effectively, get some laughs, and preserve your health. When they push you for results on something stupid, write a polite e-mail asking them to clarify a few t

What they consider as productivity is directly proportional to th

easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi

number of e-mails and memos you write. They will promote someone who does nothing but write e-mails and memos all day over someone who does an excellent job but has no time to document his or her efforts.

When you succeed praise yourself by sending an e-mail or memo to you

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

r boss and other interested parties. This is documentation that you are doing a good job. If you don't do this, no one else will record what you have done. Aliens have a tendency to only document your mistakes.

Keep all documentation relating to any corporate alien screw up

and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ

s. If they try to blame you, write an e-mail to try to shift the blame back to them.

Consider getting a small voice recorder and take it regularly and secretly to meetings. Actions of some bosses behind closed doors can be quite revealing. If nothing else, it can provide ma

Get to know your systems administrator. Systems administrators are responsible for system security and system monitoring. Systems administrators rigorously enforce corporate directives, but they themselves are also constantly being abused by c

ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it.

Avoid going to personal sites on the internet, always have a good business reason for visit

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
Which combination prod

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

If you are ever fired, learn to use government agencies and civil action groups to plead your case. The ACLU may be able to help if you pursue the discrimination an

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

Remember that corporations make products or deliver services that are useful to the world around you. Your aim should be not to halt production, but to make them use common sense when

Forget the saying ‘the world is getting smaller’ – it has gotten smaller. As a result western organisations are feeling the impact a lack of cultural sensitivity can and does have upon business performance.

Did you know that 80% of all sales are made after the 5th contact? The biggest mistake we make is not following up with our clients regularly. We not only lose the chance to offer other services and products, we lose the chance for satisfied clients' referrals. Follow-up is good business.

Why worry about grammar and spelling? After all, don't your customers just want the product?
