A Nation Of Immigrants: An Overview Of The Economic And Political Conditions
... groups entered America as slaves, others came to work at low paying labor jobs, and some came as entrepreneurs. These various groups were discriminated against at varying level, depending on the resources the group brought with them. Those immigrants who made the journey to America on their own freewill with economic resources found that it was much easier to find good jobs than those immigrants with less than such freewill and resources. Small business opportunities unfortunately were not available for most immigrants. The waves of immigrant migration to the North America are highlighted in phases. With phase one came English colonists from the 1600's to the 1800 ...

Bureaucracy And Modern Organizations
... it.
Bureaucracies have during the years been criticized for their high level of control and impersonal relations with its workers. –high levels of labour turnover and absenteeism
Modern business environment is increasingly competitive. More competitive companies in the market place has meant that firms have had to act more quickly and constantly look to adapt to change. To be competitive firms need a good communication system where information can be passed quickly and efficiently.

The Effects Of Post-industrialism On The Political Economy Of Western Europe
... international trade has clearly
demonstrated that European industry can no longer compete in traditional, large-
scale industrial sectors. European successes have increasingly come from
specialized, high value-added industry and from intelligent, flexible companies
able to shift production quickly to capitalize on movements in world demand.
The net result of these changes has been a transition to a post-industrial
society, where the stable economic order of mass employment in large-scale
industry has given way to mass unemployment and a breakdown of the political and
social consensus that held sway throughout the post-war period. These changes
have fundamentally a ...

GDP As A Measure Of The Economy
... welfare of the economy because it takes time to care for a house, time that
an individual could be working. So in essence, an individual pays themselves to
for housework. Also, the underground economy encompasses a considerable amount
of the transactions in the economy. This underground economy consists of
illicit transactions and the legal ones that cannot be traced. GDP does not
include the ecological damage rendered every day by humanity. The pollution
caused by everyday life such as trash and the pollution caused by factories and
such all damper the economic standings of a nation. While several immeasurable
items are left out of the calculation of ...

Business And Ethics
... extensive
should the repercussions be? Is the company as a whole liable or do you look
into individual employees within that company? From an ethical perspective one
would have to look at the available information of both the employees and their
superiors along with the role of others in the situation. Next you would have
to analyze the final outcome from a corporate perspective and then examine the
corporate responsibility as a whole in order to find a resolution for cases such
as this.
The first mitigating factor involved in the Company X case is the
uncertainty, on the part of the employees, on their duties that they were
assigned. It is possible that duri ...

The Automobile Tax
... could greatly reduce this collection problem.
Not only would this idea reduce collection problems, but it would also save Dallas residents money on their taxes. Saving money isn’t the key issue that members are focusing on though. The issue at hand that the city council members are focusing on is one of equity.
This new raise in property taxes will help Texans to save money and also to help reduce the problems created by the collection of automobile taxes. I definitely believe the people are all going to be in favor of this new law.
Critique Page
I believe the editorial entitled “Automobile Tax – Equity issues outweigh lost revenue” is hitting the nail right o ...

Corporate Average Fuel Economy
... should subside. The regulated fuel efficiency should allow the
market to resume its national flow and regain stability without further
manipulation.
Reliance on imported fuels would be minimized because of the a)
decreased demand for fuel consumption and b) lowered fuel demand
allowed for domestic producers to meet the basic needs of the public.
Maximum fuel efficiency would a) cut the amount of fuel consumption thus
nullifying high pump prices and b) raise the level of conservation by
lowering the amount consumed.
Although the intentions of Corporate Average Fuel Economy in the 1970's
was thought to be a cure-all but, over the long run it has turned out ...

influence group behavior. (3) The utility maximization model that allow for many
possibilities usually compromising arguments such as the success of the team at
a given year and paid attendance for the team's venue.
By explaining the frame work of a professional sports league Jones introduces us
to factors that make an organized league function, which seems quite familiar to
any other monopolistic markets. Since no team can create any revenue by
themselves they must form a coalition with another club to produce a profit
generating output, namely a hockey game. Other clubs enter ...

Confusion In The Japanese Economy: Four Problem Areas
... top ten in the world, the
former chairman of a certain bank once said, "We have nothing to learn from
abroad." At present, however, Japanese banks cannot borrow money from
foreign financial markets unless they pay a "Japan premium" on top of
market interest rates, as happened from 1962 to 1964. At that time, because
Japan was seen as a second- or third-rate country, this was to be expected.
However, Japan is now a financial giant. Is it strange that Japanese banks
have to pay higher interest rates when they borrow money?
At the international conferences I have attended over the past few months,
whenever the Asian crisis is discussed, four countries--Thailand, Indo ...
