- Airline leaders express optimism over corporate travel demand
US Airways President Scott Kirby and Delta Air Lines President Ed Bastian this week described demand growth in the business travel segment as "steady" and "solid," respectively, amid sluggish growth in other air travel sectors. Delta reported 9% year-over-year growth in corporate revenue for its quarter ending this month.

- Go beyond your gut when making strategic decisions
No matter how much companies plan, they'll eventually have to make decisions based on the best evidence. One way to improve those decisions is by using decision analysis -- including the decision trees method -- to leverage managerial judgment to evaluate a project's potential in complex situations, writes John Dillard. "When used as a strategic planning tool, decision trees can help organizations determine how to allocate resources and when to scale up or delay investment," he writes.
