.... set the size of its components to fit into standard elevators. By contrast, the first UNIVAC computer spent the first several months of its life in the Philadelphia plant in which it was built because it could not be moved to the Census Bureau. However, it was IBM's background as a supplier of integrated data-processing systems that gave it a unique advantage over its competitors. As Frank Cary, a future president of IBM put it shortly after the release of System/360, "We don't sell a product…we sell solutions to problems." And this is exactly what they did. Often times, software would be custom tailored for a particular business's needs. IBM's greatest a .....

.... competition from their imports. Protection like that - high protection - discriminates against exports through the explicit/implicit taxation of the export activities. Explicit taxation can take the form of export taxes whereas implicit taxation occurs as a result of the effects of protection on the exchange rate. As your protection level increases, your exchange rate level will decrease in order to ensure the necessary equilibrium of the balance of payments and the lower the amount of domestic currency exporters receive per unit of foreign exchange earned. There is no need for high protection at the first stage of import substitution in the replacemen .....

.... tasting not just top management. This allowed the employees to take more pride in their product that they made as a team. Responsibility of setting performance standards for employees were made by the employees themselves with a little coaching when needed by top management. There was a profit sharing system set up where the employees would receive a fixed percentage of profits every six months. Money is one of the quickest motivator in my opinion. Teams were formed to carry out specific functions. These teams replaced certain level managers. There seemed to be too many management levels in Johnsonville for such a small company. By giving more responsi .....

.... for years. Canada has been trading with many nations (including Britain which supported apartheid) since the early 1700's. Since its foundation, Canada has relied upon trade with foreign countries to generate employment and increase the wealth of its economy. Many other countries rely upon the products with which Canada supplies to them through trade. China, a communist country, with the largest population in the world, relies heavily on Canadian food products to feed its enormous population. If Canada were to suddenly sever trade with China, not only would Canada lose a large portion of revenue generated from that trade, but also many Chinese people .....

.... two being developed by J.C.H. Jones (1969). (1) The profit maximization hypothesis. (2)The joint profit maximization hypothesis that the entire cartel (league) strives for. This hypothesis does not incorporate non profit objectives that 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 c .....

.... denial on some others for example: the way Japan will only let certain foreign cars in to Japan and even then they are so heavily taxed that the average Japanese person canąt pay that much and will have to buy a Japanese made car and at the same time in other countries they are selling their cars for less than anyone else in that country and that is what they do with most of their products and is how they get a trade surplus year after year. Manufacturing is the most important economic activity in Japan it accounts for about 28% of itąs GDP. The Japanese people import more than half of the products that they manufacture from other countries in the .....

.... appointments are run similarly to private office appointments, except the psychiatrist may perform shock treatment and an insulin coma. Other types of psychiatrists research the effects of drugs on the human brain or the basic sciences of human behavior. Most of these psychiatrists combine their work with direct patient care. Psychiatrists must have completed high school and received a diploma. Then they must get a bachelor’s degree, most likely in a biology or mathematics related major. After achieving one’s bachelor’s degree, one must take the Medical College Administration Test to be accepted into a medical school. To get a medical degree, one is requi .....

.... their cabins, even after a hard 12-hour day. Taylor knew that if he could find some way to harness this energy during the workday, huge productivity gains would be achieved (REFERENCE?). Thus was born the concept of motivational and incentive systems. What is "motivation?" The root word is "move" which would mean that anyone who is moved to do something is motivated. Therefore, sitting on a tack, or at least the pain associated with it is a motivator. For those of us in Graduate School, we are aware that without a "B" average we will be eliminated from the program. Maintaining that average is our motivator. Attaining the certificate of graduati .....
