Brief Introduction   

At independence, Nigeria joined the committee of nations with the hope for a better tomorrow. We were able to feed ourselves and were of course almost self-sufficient. Subsequently, our hopes seem unattainable. We seem to be going deeper and deeper into the woods. The consensus is that it has been bad for Nigerians.

Due to the adverse economic conditions prevailing in the country, many businesses have chased shops and even financial institutions are being declared distressed at an alarming rate. Businesses that are yet to be submerged or that want to stay afloat, employ all kinds of strategies. Some increase prices, adopt promotional tools, engage in aggressive marketing, etc. whereas, others go for odd combinations of activities and even subterranean ones to survive.

Any business or individual that wants to survive must make the right decisions. The era of a mile of thumb is gone; employing it is a sure way to fail absurdly.
