... The ultimate purpose of this study is to provide a model of the structure necessary to achieve economic development where none previously existed. Zimbabwe is an appropriate model because the dynamics of underdevelopment to development in this country are readily apparent.

... that will have to be addressed is the need for more productive and efficient operations, a new focus by business on the new trading reality, and a change in policies by Government to enable Canada to function better with the FTA.

While these may have initially spurred industry, they have after time encouraged complacency. With these rapidly disappearing walls, business will have to become "lean and mean" in order to compete in a very competitive global market. Looking at the present state of affairs our status in research and development (R&D), labo ...

... economies. Therefore, it is worthwhile and important to gain a better understanding of the elements involved in such a monumental transition and the ramifications of its establishment.

Five people are going to be more productive than one person is. He uses a metaphor in the article about how one bee is a nuisance, but a swarm is deadly. With the ideas of a whole team rather than one individual, there are almost no limitations as to what they may accomplish. He believes working together in a collaborative manner is going to be the way of the future companies of the world. As with everything in life there are always drawbacks to a good thing. Granted that team manageme ...

A service that is there for the computer novice, a strong, knowledgeable voice just a phone call away, soothing the anxieties, relieving the pressures of ignorance. Target Market A geographic approach for my business would be the most feasible. I'm concerned with anyone that now owns, plans to own, or is reluctant to own because of their fear due to lack of knowledge. As a test area, I would keep my business in the immediate vicinity.

... basket is assumed not to change, it does because consumers change their spending patterns. Because consumers substitute lower priced products in lieu of higher priced ones, the weight has shifted. The CPI assumes that this does not occur and therefore it overcompensates the standard of living. Secondly, because the base period was over a decade ago, the quality of the products has increased significantly, and therefore the prices should be higher. The CPI, however, assumes that the increases in prices is a result of inflation rather than quality improvements which is false. Here also, the CPI overstates the rate of inflation. Many consumers do not mind the ove ...
