Dix And Eaton Public Relations Firm
.... in any one area, but they do
have expertise in investor relations. It is nice to know that Dix and
Eaton is very broad to many areas and represents many companies. It also
is positive that this firm has served more than half of these clients for
five years or more. This is probably why Dix and Eaton is ranked among
the top fifteen independent firms. Therefore, this firm has good
relations with each client if the client is willing to stay with Dix and
Eaton.
In addition, I also thought that it was in .....

Confusion In The Japanese Economy: Four Problem Areas
.... 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, Indonesia,
Korea, and Japan--are mentioned as the main problem countries. China's new

The Dow Jones And Company
.... But over time
the divisor has been changed to preserve historical continuity. If the Dow
were an average,as it once was,it would be determined with simple math
skills:by adding up the prices of its companies shares,dividing that by
thirty. But the stock market can sometimes be to hectic for basic math.
The most frequent reason for this is a stock split. Suppose a company in
the DJIA issues one new share for each share outstanding. After this two-
for-one "split," each share of stock is worth half what .....

“Buddhist Economics”
.... the
corruption of money and government, and the art of gaining weight. To sum
it up we are a bunch of rich fat people who have no concern for culture.
The Buddhists believe being rich is more than material possessions and I
agree. In this essay they also commented that “simplicity and non-violence”
are closely related. I agree with that belief as well. I liked how E.F.
Schumacher explained the importance of consumption and how it effects
pressures put on society. Although people in less industrialized .....

The History Of General Motors
.... with Marr in his car and
immediately learned to drive it himself, the other partner, Billy Durant,
wouldn't so much as look at it. Undaunted, Marr drove the car back and
forth in front of Durant's house that evening, and the next morning he
returned. Impressed by Marr's persistence, Durant this time agreed to go
for a ride. Only then did Durant realize that Marr wasn't trying to sell
him the car--he was trying to sell him the company.
Durant was never one to pass up a business opportunity--he collected

Issues To Consider When Implementing A Corporate Code Of Ethics
.... companies encounter
increasing pressure from the public to be socially accountable for their
actions.
During the dawn of the new public awareness of social
responsibility economist Milton Freidman (1997) argued that corporations
cannot have social responsibility because they are not real, they are
intangible and emotionless. Only human beings are able to have social
responsibility (pp. 781-787). Corporate executives of corporations may
have individual social values that they feel are important to s .....

"Boeing And Union Agree To Meet With Mediator"

The union members on the other hand refuse to recognize the financial situation of the employer and insist on better wages, bonuses, and all the other goodies associated with being in the union. James Dagnon a human resources senior vice president told the engineering-union leaders that they haven't recognized "the competitive battle that we're in here."

Can Japan Disengage? Winners And Losers In Japan's Political Economy, And The Ties That Bind Them
.... and
staunchly protected farmers. But as the economy matured, the interests of the two Japans diverged: one sought free trade and
the other demanded protection; one thrived on competition and the other survived on regulation. Recent developments only
exacerbated the conflict of interest between the two, as the prolonged recession made the system's inefficiencies less tolerable
and the appreciation of the yen increased the gap between domestic and world market prices.(2)
In political terms, however, the two .....

Bureaucracy And Modern Organizations
.... 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. When considering bureaucracies, with the high level of division of labour and hierarchical structure we can see that the decision making process is long and inefficient. Misunderstanding can occur.

Switzerland's Industrialized Economy
.... inflation rose from 3.2 percent to 5.4 percent, which is worrisome because Switzerland is considered a low-inflation economy. On June 2, 1991 Swiss voters rejected a government sponsored tax which would have modernized Switzerland’s tax system by a tax called Value Added Tax. The Swiss currency is called the Swiss Franc, and 1.5 francs equal one U.S. dollar.
The new common currency adopted early this year called the Euro, was rejected by Switzerland, although eleven nations participated. Therefore, Sw .....

It consists of those whose social and political importance can give them the same wealth available to the excessively wealthy. The middle class are those whose income is substantially lower than that of the upper class. They make enough for all their needs such as rent, food, clothing,bills, and extras such as forms of transpiration and communication. However do not have enough .....

The Rise Of Capitalism And Its Opposition
.... of manufacturing. This brought about fear of monopolies or trusts that could control an entire industry. For most of the 20th century, opposing forms of economic systems arose as a response to capitalism. These systems included Marxist-based Communism and the Nazi system in Germany, also known as National Socialism. Nevertheless, in the search for an economic solution, capitalist systems demonstrated a remarkable ability to survive.
Capitalism is an economic system in which the means of production and .....

Starbucks' Expansion

One of the things that I believe could hurt them in the future market is the sale of their coffees in local "big" supermarkets where the average Joe can buy and make their own cup of Starbucks coffee. This will most likely create a world of problems b .....
