absence for personal reasons. Dennis Nielson, analyst for R. J. Steichen,

Rapid Economic Growth In East Asian Countries
.... 34
years from the late 19th century. Finally, South Korea was able to double its
real income per head in an amazing 11 years from 1966. It would seem that the
later a country has industrialised, the faster it has been able to do so.
Another important factor is the degree to which a country is behind the
industrial leaders. In the case of the East Asian countries, South Korea and
Taiwan, both started out with an extremely low income per head. This allowed
much faster growth when copying the leaders. .....

we saw included, for example, the fact that women were now a major part of the
work force and dual income families were becoming a more common occurrence.
McDonald's became a mastermind of marketing toward specific markets by
pioneering ideas such as breakfast menus, healthier choices and alternatives,
and "adult" foods. McDonald's has truly evolved into a world power by paying
attention to the needs and wants of the changing market and adjusting to these
needs.

THE OBJECTIVE.
FIRST the workers. Due to the fact that it must have the following problem in
suppliers area. The quality of the raw material must have not reach the standard
that is aimed. For examples: the may ordered some cheap materials or expensive
raw materials where they can have poor quality of work done with the expensive
materials and good quality of materials done by poor quality of work or it could
be the other way round. So .....

Why Launch An Advertising Campaign
.... of advertising would be needed if
you were to advertise to parents than to the children. For a lot of products
their are a lot of age groups that you need to advertise for and these must be
taken into consideration. We must analyse the different market segments that are
applicable to Pakanawa and investigate how we can exploit these different
market segments. An ad campaign is a very sensible idea because no-one will know
about our products without the use of advertising. This means that we must

The Shoe Industry

the difficulties, problems, and advances it has.
There are four major companies in the shoe industry. The dominant industry
is Nike inc.. Then going down the line is Reebok, Fila, and Adidas. Nike being
the superpower has been in front of all the other industries for many years.
Right now Reebok is the closest company to Nike and is $2,459 behind in value
in MIL. Nike's earnings in the last quarter leaped 24% which has pleased Wall

Should Top Executives Make The Money They Do?
.... in profits that are extremely high. When an employee of
such a companies salary is compared to the amount of profit that the company
earns, it starts to seem reasonable. It only makes sense that if the employee
is directly responsible for the success of their company, then they deserve to
get their payback. It seems ironic, but many salaries even look small once
compared with a companies profits.
Top Executives Are Under A Lot Of Pressure
Being the CEO of a company is not an easy job. There is al .....

In 1988, Dillons employed Mr Charles Pettifer as the operational manager, from

Social Security
.... lives where work shall come to an end, yet the
existence of living expenses will not. Social security, many of us find out;
will provide us with a monthly check at this point. What we do not realize,
however, is that this amount is not intended to be used as our sole source of
income.
Unfortunately, the tragic irony is that many of us reach retirement and
realize too late how impossible it would be to live by no other means except
social security. The reality is, that the program is but one benef .....

Advances In Technology And Economics
.... that the supply of workers in the [unskilled labor] categories already
exceeds the demand for their services,” says L. Mishel, Research Director of
Welfare Reform Network.
In view of these facts, I wonder if these trends are good or bad for society. “
The danger of the information age is that while in the short run it may be
cheaper to replace workers with technology, in the long run it is potentially
self-destructive because there will not be enough purchasing power to grow the
economy,” M. B. .....

Inaccuracies Of The Consumer Price Index (CPI)
.... because the base period was over a decade ago, the quality of
the products has increased significantly, and therefore the prices should be
higher. The CPI, however, assumes that the increases in prices is a result of
inflation rather than quality improvements which is false. Here also, the CPI
overstates the rate of inflation.
Many consumers do not mind the overcompensation of the CPI because in
most cases it means more money in their pockets, but there are some consequences.
This may caus .....

The Cost Of Buying A Used Car

condition, but this is to be expected.
When one goes to buy a used car they should look for some key things,
before buying the car:
1. Check the car's interior thoroughly. Was the car kept clean all this
time or was it neglected? Is it up to what would be par?
2. Get an unbiased mechanic to look at the engine and look over the
entire car. Do they think that it is in good driving condition? Do you think it
is in good driving condition?
3. Look at the car's paint job. Is it what you would .....

Russia' Economic Transition
.... was adapted for use in the
Russian economic zones. The theory was as follows; Areas which surround the
capital (core region), usually rich in one material or another, would be used
for the extraction of raw materials. These materials would then be shipped back
to the capital in order to be manufactured into goods. From there, the
manufactured products would be shipped back to the surrounding regions
(periphery region) for resale. The citizens of Russia were surviving on this
system, but barely. The Cor .....

The Debt: An Economic Catastrophe
.... it. Our federal debt grows
all by itself to the tune of approximately ninety million dollars every day.
This may seem hard to digest, but it is reality. The need for debt elimination
is vital if Canada wants to free up billions of dollars being spend on interest
payments. Two approaches may be taken to this. First, an increase in
government revenues through higher taxation may be considered. However, taxes
are already at a point where some people feel they are working merely to pay the

The Economic Impact Of The New Telecommunications Legislation
.... of Canadian households have a telephone, and there are more than 15
million telephone lines for a population of nearly 27 million(Dept. of
Communications, 1992, p7). It is therefore not surprising that Canadians are
among the biggest users of telecommunications in the world. For example, in 1990,
Canadians made more than three billion long-distance calls (Dept. of
Communications, 1992, p8).
Innovations made possible through telecommunications have also
contributed significantly to the phenomenal .....
