Blog #7 -- Brainstrorm of Contemporary Problems in Business

The blog that I will write today is a brainstorm of contemporary problems in business. To be honest, I am drawing a blank as to what those might be. Though I think I can come up with some hypothetical situations that could be contemporary.
The first situation is a company that constantly says one thing to someone, but means another. For example, a manager tells an employee that their services are beyond the manager’s expectations. The employee takes this as a compliment, but the manager meant that the employee was doing such a horrible job that they exceeded the manager’s expectation.
That brings up another point. Not just in business, but in general, a contemporary problem that I think is the biggest problem is miscommunication. Communication is the key for a successful business. Lack of it can cause problems between workers and departments. For example, a memo is put out that a meeting time has been changed to an earlier time, but for some reason, some people did not get it and therefore arrived too late for the meeting.
