What Retailers Can Learn from Recent Bankruptcies
Numerous lessons can be learned from last year's retail bloodbath that saw bankruptcy filings by large retail mainstays such as Toys “R” Us and Gymboree and countless smaller retail stores.

In addition to learning from what went wrong, retailers also can learn from what went right. Zara, one of the largest international fashion companies, has found continued success notwithstanding the industry's challenges by employing certain key strategies that other retailers may want to emulate.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed.
