The Origins Of The Great Depression
Number of words: 611 - Number of pages: 3.... The belief that came
from this policy was that the businesses that consolidated would receive
larger profits from the consumer and share it in the worker's wages, who
would in turn invest in the general wealth by investing in the stock market
and also buying the manufacturer's goods. Even though it was true that the
businesses were gaining on profits, the worker's wages were not being
raised, and so they could not contribute to the buying of goods. Yet
surprisingly, the stock market soared without any regulation.
In the 20's banks began to quickly sprout up here and there around
the count .....

Why Do All Modern Cars Look Alike?
Number of words: 484 - Number of pages: 2.... from the two emblems respectively, very few details
differ the two cars. Honda who have been in need of a sport utility
vehicle in order to grab their share of that part of the market, which has
grown considerably the last decade have taken almost desperate measures.
They have simply bought the rights to re-badge the Isuzu Rodeo as the
Honda Passport and marketed it as an all new model.
The last and maybe the most logical reason is that all manufacturers are
striving towards 'the perfect car'. All cars are supposed to offer a
maximum of performance, passenger room and cargo space, and a min .....

Number of words: 1925 - Number of pages: 7.... heat the family home, the manufacturing sector, the high tech

be an important support to the economy.

mineral processing and even marketing. Computers and related equipment now

The Combines Act
Number of words: 739 - Number of pages: 3.... 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 this coalition thus
creating a formal league which we call the National Hockey League. Jones then
states how revenue is generated in the N.H.L and how it is affected by certain
factors.
A theoretical model of the N.H.L is c .....

Corporate Downsizing
Number of words: 1483 - Number of pages: 6.... expenses
that need to be reduced, and how much can come out of layoffs (Moore 49). This
stage usually takes about two to three months to complete. During this time,
the upper management reviews all financial records in order to determine how
much is needed to be cut from salary expenditures (Moore 50). This stage is
concluded when the senior management has a detailed plan on who will be let go,
and who will remain with the company. During this stage, there is one common
mistake many companies make: lack of communication. The middle management is
usually left out of all downsizing plans. .....

Economic Development Of Hawaii
Number of words: 1255 - Number of pages: 5.... to statehood. Today the positions are reversed;
sugar and pineapple constitute about 1% of GSP, defense accounts for
just under 11%, while visitor-related spending comes close to 24% of
Hawaii's GSP.
The movement toward a service- and trade-based economy becomes
even more apparent when considering the distribution of Hawaii's jobs
across sectors. The share of the economy's jobs accounted for by
manufacturing and agriculture have declined steadily since 1959 and
each currently makes up less than 4% of total jobs in the economy. At
the same time, the shares of jobs in wholesal .....

Labor Unions
Number of words: 1817 - Number of pages: 7.... the factory have no heat, no lunch breaks or they are
not allowed to speak, (which was the case in many sweatshops for immigrants and
children in the 1920's through 1940's), then the labor unions will obviously
want something done.
These differences are usually settled fairly quickly, and a new contract
featuring these agreements will be realized . Most contracts are in operation
for about 3 to 5 years. Then, negotiations begin again. This is how labor-
management relations go in a perfect world.
But, obviously, this is not always the case. Sometimes the unions want
unrealistic wages. .....

Our Nation's Credit Card Problem
Number of words: 541 - Number of pages: 2.... how to balance a
checkbook. College is where you start learning firsthand about finances and
credit because the credit companies are sending out cards by the buckets to
students.
Citicorp just spent ten-million marketing credit cards to high-
school kids. Sixty-one percent of all college students are carrying a card,
and thirty-two percent of those got it before college. However a recent
survey showed that fewer than thirty percent of the students polled could
say what interest rate they were paying on their cards. It's like not
knowing anything about guns and toting an Uzi. But .....
