Talk:Idexx Laboratories

message: I've removed the Cyntegra lawsuit stuff since it was not only given undue weight, it appears it was completely meritless to begin with (see the last line).  Please discuss here prior to reinserting any of this stuff in the article.
:Idexx's business practices are not without controversy. In 2006, Cyntegra sued Idexx Laboratories in federal court, seeking damages exceeding $700 million. The complaint seeks the termination of IDEXX’s practices of "exclusive dealing," alleging that IDEXX requires that its distributors refrain from selling the products of other companies that IDEXX defines as "competitive."
:Letters to distributors from Idexx, originally marked as confidential but believed to have been erroneously made public by IDEXX’s attorneys, prove Cyntegra’s original claims of threats to veterinary distributors MWI, Butler and Columbus Serum Company by Idexx. In the complaint, Cyntegra alleges that IDEXX threatened these distributors if they carried Cyntegra’s products, resulting in the cancellation of planned orders by these distributors and leading to hundreds of millions of dollars of lost revenues for Cyntegra.
:In 2007 Cyntegra filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice who are currently investigating claims that IDEXX insiders and management failed to properly notify shareholders of the pending lawsuit by Cyntegra (which Idexx has described as "significant" in the their legal defense), in a breach of the Sarbanes-Oxley regulations. Shortly after Cyntegra filed the lawsuit and prior to any public announcement, company insiders sold their own shares at substantial profit before a significant drop in Idexx share price. If this claim is proven, it would not be the first case that IDEXX insiders and management have been found guilty of insider trading. A class action lawsuit filed in 2000 charged Idexx and certain officers and directors of Idexx during the relevant time period with violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, by, among other things, issuing to the investing public materially false and misleading statements concerning the demand for IDEXX’s products, its competitiveness and the trends in its business.
''
:On April 20, 2009, Cyntegra's appeal of the district court's decision, finding that Cyntegra's case was without merit, was rejected.

Talk:SIG plc

message: Hi, my name is Cathrine. I’m an employee at SIG plc and would like to seek some advice on updating the article with some factual updates, most notably the key people section where the two names listed are out of date.
In 2022 the company announced a new CEO, Gavin Slark and the Chairman has been Andrew Allner since 2017.
In the spirit of ensuring Wikipedia remains an accurate source of information, I wanted to work with the community to make these changes. I have included web links to the SIG leadership page as well as coverage of Gavin’s appointment should this be helpful to verify the information.
https://www.sigplc.com/about-us/our-leadership/the-board

I’d be grateful if an experienced editor could provide some further assistance in making these changes.

Talk:Inside director

message: Inside director is a somewhat broader term which includes executive directors, as far as I am aware. II | (t - c) 21:31, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Not at all. An Executive Director is most commonly title for the CEO of an NGO or nonprofit organization. Has nothing to do with the Board of Directors. If an Executive Director serves on the Board of Directors, then they are an inside director. If they do not, then they aren't a member of the Board of Directors at all. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 00:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The non-executive director article attests to the fact that executive director is often a term for inside directors who are executives. With that said, I agree that the term gets used quite a bit. I do wonder if we should merge corporate titles which are synonyms in practice rather than creating duplicate articles - for example, managing director is also described as a CEO and executive director is described as a CEO of a nonprofit. None of these are really true; in some organizations MDs and executive directors are just senior mid-level managers. I'd prefer that we merged these articles into something like senior management to the degree that these words describe top management, with middle management incorporating the use of the title for mid-level management. We can use disambig pages to direct these titles to the proper pages. II | (t - c) 07:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Oppose: Agree with Noraft. Not at all the same thing.  The same person may have both positions, but they are different positions.  Montanabw(talk) 06:19, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Oppose: despite incorrect usage, they have different meanings. However, I am open to the idea of merging multiple articles for terms that are used interchangeably in practice, as long as the articles are all merged at the same time, and the technical differences between each term are explained. I would probably write a paragraph or two for each term. I suggest that a proposal for redirecting all of the terms to a new article be made. If the proposal gains consensus, a new combined article would be written, perhaps incorporating any good content from the existing articles, preferably with inline citations. If this is not done, I suggest noting what terms used interchangeably in their separate articles, with an explanation of how the definitions are different. -- Kjkolb (talk) 22:36, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

message: This entry reads like a promotion for consulting services with circular citations (back to founder of concept). Intrepreneurship remains noteworthy because it continues to be referenced in various books and media. However, I believe that the concept itself has outgrown the founder and evolved into its own.

text: I find it somewhat concerning that entries like this exist at all. This is not meaningful knowledge. It's a cute word play with latin roots that is used without substance to bolster business careers. It means whatever someone wants it to mean. The whole article should be the phrase 'bullshit designed to justify someone's career choices in the role of management'. If wikipedia documents all the nonsense words that people invent to make themselves sound important, its usefulness as a resource for understanding business will fall off.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.27.9.20 (talk) 17:00, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:SCANA

message: Very sorry if this is not the right way to be going about this, but I am an indirect customer of SCANA and it has always driven me crazy not knowing what the name stood for. The article states "The corporate name SCANA is not an acronym, but is taken from the letters in South Carolina." but that didn't really mean much to me and clicking the two references didn't help (couldn't find any explanation to the name in either). I had other business with them via email and asked where there name came from and they responded "The name “SCANA” was chosen to reflect that we’re based in South Carolina. S is for the first letter in South. CA is for the first two letters in Carolina. NA is for the last two letters in Carolina." That is a much better answer to me than "is taken from letters in South Carolina". Should the page be updated? If so, I don't know how/if you can cite an email conversation.

message: The change by Jacobeen on 30 May, 2008 significantly changed the definition of the term with no discussion here.
I reverted the change because the new definition more closely resembles the preventive action definition covered in the associated article.
I am not aware of any references where remedial action is used to refer to "action beyond correction of a cited and detected nonconformities" so I think that a change from the established definition should be supported by some source or at least a discussion here.

Talk:Project coaching

message: The article chose the definition of project coaching as having: "the goal of improving project management capability.".  However, project coaching can either focus on the people managing the project (project management coaching) or on the project itself (project coaching).  An example of a company providing the latter service can be found here: http://www.bia.ca/articles/ProjectCoaching.htm
Of the body of the article, 30% of it was taken up by the statement that "In 2009 Todd Hutchison set up the International Institute of Project Coaching in Australia ".  A URL is given for this organisation however at http://iiprojectcoaching.com/your-institute/about-us/ photographs of the board are shown with their job title only and no more background information is provided on the organisation or its functioning.  Only one email address of those given for its board members is valid and that links to a different website: mindavation.com.  This contrasts to the information provided on the BIA site, however I have not expanded the article accordingl for lack of time.
I have therefore:
* moved the reference to Todd Hutchison out of the article and into the reference itself (as Mr Hutchison and his association with NLP do not appear noteworthy)
* added a clarification to the dual/ambiguous meaning of the phrase Project Coaching together with the external reference to the relevant BIA page.  
* deleted the external reference to Project Coach as this is actually a recursive name of a project called Coach, an outreach project aimed at teaching teenagers "become goal setters, communicators, and initiative-takers"  http://projectcoach.smith.edu/history/, and not to a reference on the article's subject matter.
