# The Hardball Strategies
Playing hardball in business requires a relentless, execution-driven strategy to dominate your  competitors. In this excerpt from the best-selling book Hardball: Are You Playing to Play or Playing to Win, Boston Consulting Group analysts George Stalk and Robert Lachenauer describe the hardball playbook for a lasting competitive advantage.

# Cost-Effective Competitive Intelligence
The more you know about your competition, the better you're able to execute hardball strategies. The data is out there - you just need to find and analyze it. Use these proven, cost-effective tactics to unearth information about your competitors and their plans.

# Competitive Intelligence Resources
Knowing where to look is the first step in tracking down competitive information. These resources can help you improve your research skills, find critical information and stay on top of best practices used by competitive intelligence professionals.

# Sarbanes-Oxley and Corporate Fraud
There's a storm brewing over the cost and complexity of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance for smaller companies. Steve Ernst, CPA, discusses recommendations by the SEC's Advisory Committee on Smaller Public Companies and whether SOX would have prevented the corporate fraud that led to its enactment.

# Know the True Cost of Software
Business owners need to view software as an investment and weigh the benefits of the solution against the cost to purchase, implement and support the product. Dr. Bob Spencer of K2 Enterprises describes how to calculate the Total Cost of Ownership.
