		<description><![CDATA[As an entrepreneur, I am always looking to learn more about strategy, trends, etc so I came across the top ten articles from McKinsey Consulting in the second quarter of 2009.  Represenative topics include:

1. STRATEGY

Strategic planning: Three tips for 2009<
Even in these tumultuous times, strategic planning doesn’t have to be an exercise in anxiety—or futility.

2. CORPORATE FINANCE
Timing is key as companies weigh whether to make strategic investments now or wait for clear signs of recovery. Scenario analysis can expose the risks of moving too quickly or slowly.

3. STRATEGY
In this interactive presentation—one in a series of multimedia frameworks—McKinsey director Rob Latoff offers insight into the industry cost curve, a business school classic for understanding pricing. By bringing discipline and a practical set of definitions to bear, this framework can be applied to real-world, competitive markets.

4. ECONOMIC STUDIES
Surveying the economic horizon: A conversation with Robert ShillerIn this video interview, the noted economist explains and explores the downturn’s root causes—and possible ways forward.

5. CORPORATE FINANCE
What next? Ten questions for CFOs
As companies shift their attention from fighting the crisis to getting the most from the recovery, CFOs must keep executives focused. ]]></description>
