NABE survey: Businesses expect stronger performance this year vs 2013, but hiring still anemic
– canadianbusiness.com
Businesses expect their companies to perform better this year but that optimism still isn’t translating into a push to hire more workers, according to a new survey from the National Association for Business Economics.
Of the 64 members who responded to NABE’s January survey, most said they saw stronger sales in the final months of 2013, and 43 per cent expect their companies to modestly hike selling prices this year. That’s the highest percentage in more than 12 months. Most respondents don’t expect the new health care law or the Federal Reserve’s easing of its stimulus policies to have a major impact on business, either. However only 37 per cent expect to create jobs in the next six months, the same as in NABE’s October survey.
For the fourth quarter, only about a quarter of respondents said their companies expanded payrolls. Those most likely to report increased hiring were from the manufacturing, finance, insurance and real estate sectors.

Ericsson settles patent dispute with Samsung, receives $651 million payment
– canadianbusiness.com
STOCKHOLM – Swedish wireless equipment company LM Ericsson AB says it has settled a legal dispute with Samsung Electronics Co. about global patent licenses.
Ericsson said Monday the settlement means it will receive a one-off sum and ongoing royalty payments from the South Korean company that will boosts its sales in the fourth quarter 2013 by 4.2 billion Swedish kronor ($651 million). It said the positive effect on its fourth-quarter net income will be 3.3 billion kronor.
Shares in Ericsson rose by 2.4 per cent to 76.85 kronor in early trading on the Stockholm stock exchange.
This deal ends complaints made by both companies against each other before the International Trade Commission, as well as the lawsuits before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
