He spent extra time when necessary, if work problems came up. But he also made sure that he took his own vacation and spent time with his family. He was constantly reading and learning new ways to do things. The employees were encouraged to become better educated about their jobs and were sent to workshops and special classes for their skills.
Even though he was a very busy man, Bob's door was always "open" for employees to come and talk with him about any issue. Employees knew he would look with a fair eye upon their requests and problems. He, however, was not a pushover for sob stories and self-serving requests.

The working capital is an important metric because it can have a significant effect on the company's short- and long-term decision making. The working capital is affected by the cash position, the inventories and the receivables, along with the short-term liabilities. The current ratio is simply the working capital in ratio format, the current assets divided by
Superior Living How can using more debt impact a firm's capital structure? The capital structure is comprised of debt and equity so inherently, any change to either will change the firm's capital structure. What is being proposed is that in advance of our IPO we will take on more debt. There are no universal truths as to what Wall Street might want to see in a capital structure, and for each firm
