Would like to hear what kinds of problems HNers are facing in their companies.
Even worse, there are a LOT of improvements that could be made but management DOESN'T CARE. It's an oligopoly with huge barriers of entry (an insurance company), so as long as they're not worse than the competition and external factors stay the same, money will still come in.
BTW there's money to be made for software companies... selling bad, overpriced software, as long as the appropriate kickbacks and buddy-ism is followed.

Btw, what are some of those potential improvements that you have identified? :)

EDIT: I read the title as "in your country". Anyway, problems are real and can be useful for your needs.
I have yet to find a good reliable publishing company.
I guess this is a nice business idea for ones that live in supported countries. There are many unsupported countries, be it in Europe or other places, with a vibrant developer communities.
In general key business problems are really difficult to solve in the context of a particular problem. For example, I can't find employees in a specific niche because there are not enough in the market. How can I solve it? I can train people but that training would take a long time and I can't afford that risk.
I hope this does not get across as pure negativity, but I thought this is the exact question your book would answer.
On a side note, I think most business problems go unnoticed.
Interesting. Got any examples? :)
If you can solve these problems for me, I'll pay you a lot of money for your book.
Mind telling me a bit about how you do those 4 things you mentioned right now?
