Many do not follow generally accepted basic business practices such as knowing product costs and margins, obtaining strategically useful information about customers, conducting market research to identify prospective customers, and understanding competitors' advantages and disadvantages needed to build effective growth strategies. Their approach to pursuing growth strategies--a.k.a shotgun marketing--is akin to ready, shoot, aim--and often the business' working capital, cash flow, financial ratios, and overall profitability are insufficient to afford the costs of needed sales, marketing, and promotional strategies typically called for to find and develop new customers, markets, and products. 000841213 530__ $$aAlso available in print. 000841213 538__ $$aMode of access: World Wide Web. 000841213 538__ $$aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat reader. 000841213 588__ $$aTitle from PDF t.p.
