CAN WE CREATE 1 MILLION JOBS IN SPAIN?
16 May, 2012 – 3:55 PM
Why not? This is my suggestion, if each of us believes that it is possible and we begin to contribute ideas with an attitude of achieving this, why not?

LAND WITH WATER. The next opportunity?
16 May, 2012 – 1:54 PM
If an investor would ask my advice about the next asset to acquire, I would not doubt it: land with high levels of groundwater. I am aware that rural land in Spain is devalued as a form of investment, but I would recommend that anyone who owns real irrigated land and not land with transferred [...]

16 May, 2012 – 1:36 PM
The 4 horsemen of reactivation are: financial stability, control of spending/balanced budget, economic growth and confidence. Which is the first? This is the question that we ask every day.

The 200 richest people in Spain and the lottery. A cradle for entrepreneurs?
1 February, 2012 – 4:47 PM
We are starting off the year with the news that we will have to pay more taxes–we should have seen it coming even though they said that it wasn’t–and with a hangover, since most of us did not win the Christmas lottery. These two circumstances will not help us get included some day in the [...]
Internet employment offers. Recruitment 2.0 & Beyond coming.
2 January, 2012 – 6:41 PM
In my opinion, it’s now in style to speak of recruiting 2.0. Basically, it is a new form of combining supply and demand by using the advantages of the Internet.

The current management of the Marketing Mix, which appeared in 1953, took us from the 4 P (Product – Promotion – Position – Price) of the ‘60’s to the 4C (Consumer – Communication – Convenience – Cost/Benefit) of the ’90, and now we have to move on to the 4D.
