| | Crisis Planning Among Guatemalan Small Businesses |
 | | Concepts of crisis management and operations management are foreign ideas that are not part of their day-to-day business vocabulary or standard operating procedures. |  | | Although crisis management research is growing in large organizations in developed countries, little has been written about crisis management practices of businesses in less developed countries. |  | | Crisis management maintains that a potential crisis must be mitigated and, if possible, prevented from occurring in the future. |

| | Bush Paints His Goals As 'Crises' (washingtonpost.com) |
 | | The crisis, as Bush explains, is this: A decade or so from now the Social Security system will begin paying out more in benefits than it takes in payroll taxes because there will be higher percentage of older Americans than there is today. |  | | Warning of the need for urgent action on his Social Security plan, Bush says the "crisis is now" for a system even the most pessimistic observers say will take in more in taxes than it pays out in benefits well into the next decade. |  | | But Bush's chief solution -- allowing younger workers to divert a portion of their 6.2 percent payroll tax into private investment accounts -- will do nothing to avert it unless it is accompanied by a reduction in future guaranteed benefits or other changes to the retirement program, according to many experts on Social Security. |

| | USATODAY.com - Social Security 'crisis' questioned |
 | | WASHINGTON Two key Republican lawmakers suggested Sunday that Social Security is not in crisis and questioned President Bush's proposal to let younger workers invest part of their payroll taxes in private accounts. |  | | Bill Thomas, R-Calif., chairman of the House panel that handles Social Security, and Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, a pivotal moderate on the Senate Finance Committee, said any proposal for private accounts should be part of a larger overhaul of Social Security. |  | | Snowe expressed reluctance to tinker with the basics of a system that has provided a stable monthly income and kept seniors out of poverty for 70 years. |
