The competition also resulted in shorter period of market exclusivity which not only meant lower sales but allowed less time for a company to recover the cost incurred in R&D. Furthermore, the government has also announced the price regulation policy with which all the companies have to comply with. In order to create an edge, the organization did outline flexible plant some time recently, however as the organization's products achieve their peak demand, the administration need to adjust and change the plant to meet the desired output. This ultimately results in changing the process from flexible to specialized process system. The outline and development of the production framework adscititiously require consequential time and therefore, creates a shortage of time on the grounds until the administration analyze the future productivity of the products. The company now has three products to manufacture, and to increase productivity, management is
The first argument would be that a command economy could move faster to deal with the effects of natural disaster. The government has the resources in order to help in natural disasters. In this instance the government would be in control and could simply order resources to the affected area. The second argument is that a market economy would handle the crisis best. The main argument here is that the government is slow and doesn’t work efficiently enough no matter how much power they have.
This also includes the affordability range, and it stops unnecessary consumption, limits price growth to avoid excess societal burden. Government intervention varies with low- income developing countries to industrialized countries. In low income developing country, government’s focus is “how to improve access to their people”, whereas in industrialized nations direct some of their focus on cost-containment. Subsequently, government intervention also faces imperfections. It becomes complicated due to political manipulations.
Why is Labour Productivity in the UK so low? There are a huge variety of reasons why, in comparison to other countries, our labour productivity is so low: One incredible important reason is that the government drive for full employment has been taking hold. As we can see here; our employment is faring well in comparison with other countries. However, a real problem is the government implementing policy that favours short term social benefit (like for example, mass employment, creation of needless projects simply to provide jobs), rather than long term economic benefit. There is a failure to realise that long term better economic welfare also means general higher standards of living, as people have enough money to buy everything they need and some of what they want, competition is rife so drives quality up and prices down, and the government are able to take in more taxes from firms who are much healthier financially.

“WALMART’S SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY” Wal-Mart developed a new sustainability strategy to deal with the environmental issues the company caused. The strategy based on the efforts to develop and implement goals of zero waste, selling sustainable products and using 100 percent renewable energy. With this strategy the company not only aimed to resolve the problem of paying fines to state and federal regulators for its environmental damage but also change its bad reputation among customers. The company also realized its sustainability strategy creates cost advantages and this should turn out an opportunity to maintain its lower price strategy. Customers’ reactions to Wal-Mart’s new sustainability strategy showed that low or middle class consumers’ expectations are not limited to purchase only low price products; they are also willing to buy green, sustainable ones when they find them in affordable prices.
Factories made huge monetary profits by paying children less for their work which helped build a stable economy. However, as America developed, laws were passed prohibiting child labor and improving working conditions. In turn, passing these laws improved factory conditions by forcing regulations to be enforced. Similar to America, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong are some of the nations that worked their way out of sweatshops into prosperity (Stossel). Yet, even though those countries do not need sweatshops anymore, sweatshops are still necessary for other third world countries in their search
Foreign product taxes, or tariffs, were initially imposed to help in the growth of our country by keeping infant industries alive, as well as to bring in revenue for the United States federal government in its early days. But, as time has gone on, people have started to question whether these protective measures are actually helping or hurting us. And after much research, I can definitely assure you that tariffs are detrimental to our country’s well-being. By having these taxes on foreign products, people are naturally going to turn away and opt for something cheaper. So when these domestic companies are getting a steady flow of customers and income, they no longer have any need or incentive for improving the quality of their products.

The book looks at the relations that exist between the different aspects of nature; in other words, the symbiotic relations that living things share with one another. Life cannot be complete when humankind ignores the importance of plants and animals as well as the ecosystems which are very essential to their survival. Wikipedia, (n.d.) in a biography of Fritjof Capra, observed the author his book ‘Hidden Connections – a Science for a Sustainable Living’ has introduced a new dimension to the study of the systems and complexity theory which has contributed to the discourse on some of the issues that affect the survival of humankind in the twenty first century. Ellis (2003) on the other hand describes the book as a broad appraisal of the interrelations that exist among the components of nature that is "life, mind, and society."
