... in preference to all
other possible goals. Motive, then is a concept which joins together drive and
goal".
This implies that providing the drive for staff to achieve goals that have been
set is a vital and important part of the managerial role.
Although it is apparent that to become or be motivated does not always rely on
drive and goals - it can often arise through voluntary action as well.
McDougall (1908) made this extension of the concept of motivation to 'voluntary
behaviour' explicit by suggesting that instincts were the 'prime movers' of all
human activity. McDougall disagrees with the drive theorists arguing that the
instincts of staff in the workplace p ...

Things stayed this way until 1948 when Falstaff bought the Coulumbia Brewery Co. in St. Louis and began to make Falstaff there. Falstaff had three plants in St. Louis.

Canada's Economy In 1996
... growth for two consecutive quarters." However, Canada is not in a true
recession because there was a 3.0% growth in the third quarter, compared to
2.2% in the second quarter. Eventhough it is not true recession, the slow
growth is a sure sign of a slight one. Low inflation is also is also prevalent
and is symptomatic of a weak economy. A low inflation rate of 1.4% in November
1996 does not provide much of an indication for economic growth and expansion.
A shrinking positive balance of payments indicates these are tough economic
times. A fourth indication of a slight recession is the high unemployment rate.
An unemployment rate of 10.0% in November 1996 is de ...

How Are Automatic Stabilizers Used To Combat Inflation?
... propensity to consume, and decreasing
consumption. The marginal propensity to consume is the fraction of any change
in disposable income spent for consumer goods. If this decreases, demand will
not be as high above, or even above where the supply is, therefore reducing the
demand - pull inflation.
Another way to stabilize demand - pull inflation is to reduce government
spendings. Government spendings, are the spending that the government make with
the tax revenues, and they add to the gross domestic product. An automatic
stabilizer that will lower gross domestic product is welfare. As income rises,
there are less people who need welfare, therefore reducin ...

The National Farm Workers Association
... growers argued they needed cheap labor to turn a profit.
Major targets of the UFW were California growers of table and wine grapes. In 1965, the UFW with the AFL-CIO led a five-year boycott of table grapes, urging shoppers throughout the country not to buy or eat grapes.
In 1970, as a result of the boycott, many growers signed contracts with the UFW. However, vegetable growers signed contracts with the Teamsters in order to limit UFW power and, in 1973 when the grape contracts expired, grape growers also signed with the Teamsters. In protest, more than 10,000 farm workers walked out of the fields.
As a result of the strike and further boycotts against let ...

DuPont: An Investment Analysis
... he brought some of the new ideas about the manufacturing of consistently reliable gun powder. His product ignited when it was supposed to, in a manner consistent with expectations. This was greatly appreciated by the citizens of the growing nation, including Thomas Jefferson, who wrote thanking du Pont for the quality of his powder, which was being used to clear the land at Monticello. Many other heroes of early America owed their success, and their lives, to the dependable quality of DuPont's first product. This represents a good, strong start for a company.
DuPont, which is moving through the last decade of the twentieth century and toward its third centu ...

Foreign Aid
... discussing foreign aid: what kind of foreign aid is
being offered. There are three different types of foreign aid: first, there is
military foreign aid; second, there is foreign aid for the advancement
of business; third, there is emergency foreign aid for food and medicine.
Foreign aid to countries can help in many ways. It can be used as a
tool in bargaining. For instance a country that has just received foreign aid
or is expecting to get their regular installment of foreign aid will be more
likely to listen to new ideas. Because some countries are so dependent on their
regular installments of foreign aid, they are willing to appease countries such
as the U. ...

Costs In The Long-Run
... could double its capacity to 2,000 sheets per minute. Once the
planing decision (for the long run purposes) has been made to operate with
two machines, the firm in practice then operates in a new short run
situation with its capacity constrained to 2,000 sheets per minute whether
it employs 5,6 or 10 men.
Decisions in the long-run are investment or planning decisions
relating to the scale of production and decisions in the short run are to
