Domestic Market
Canada's per capita purchasing power is second only to that of the United States,
among the G-7 countries, and the OECD expects Canada to lead the industrialized
countries in near-term economic growth. Inflation is below two per cent and
forecast to remain low. Cost of money is lower than it has been for decades.
Exports are at record high, having increased by 14 per cent in 1993 over 1992.
Under free trade, Canadian-based companies have increased their market share of
the Canada-U.S. market. Further, the Ca .....

BECOA Report On Investing Currencies In The Far East

Investments, Unemployment, Exports, Budget balances, and Real Growth rates, that
this is the key to making money through currency exchange. In this report my
selections for currency exchange will justified by using the above areas as well
as currency trends and volatilities, that prove Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Thailand, and Taiwan were all good strategic investments.
Japan
The first country that I chose to buy currency in was Japan. Japan, as
many people know is a country that has proven itself as having one of the
world's most powerful and stable economies. When we examine the Real Gro .....

U.S Investment In Mexico
.... of the total trade that occurs
between the United States and Mexico was created in 1994.
One of the major sectors that holds a large promise for the U.S.
manufacturers is that of the automobile industry. The Mexican market for auto
parts is expected to grow by 24 percent from 1994 levels to $16.9 billion in the
year 2000. It is also expected that NAFTA will help increase the U.S. export
share of the Mexican market to around 70 percent by the year 2000. In the long
run, Mexico's location could profit the U.S. industries that establish
themselves there, through an expanded free trade area in Latin America, which
could .....

The Japanese Economy
.... import more than half
of the products that they manufacture from other countries in their crudest form
and manufacture them into transportation equipment, iron, steel, chemicals,
petroleum and coal products and textiles. Most of these products are produced by
large corporations with many employees and the happier the employees are the
more it will be done.
An aspect of a market economy that Japan has is the way the companies
treat their workers. The way the Japanese treat their workers is so different
form the way we treat our workers here. The Japanese are so much more respectful
towards their employer( the exact opposite from .....

An Investigation Of Japanese Corporate Culture, Its Trends And Changes
.... to the man at the top, and in the commitment that is shown by the people
around him, Beedham points out that this can be evident in the way that their
car factories, investment banks and government ministries are ran.
This clan-like-behaviour has the effect of making decision making painfully slow,
with compromises having to be met in all directions, but this is starting to
change, as the people of Japan are starting to change and have different
priorities. These changes can be put down to several factors that are changing
in Japanese society as a whole.
3.1 Changing social culture. The increasing and speeding up .....

Labor Unions
.... 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. They might stress extreme luxuries that the company cannot
provide for working conditions. Or the management may be stubborn and unwilling
to give up a large percentag .....

Long Swings In The Exchange Rate And The Excess Returns Puzzle: The Role Of Imperfect Knowledge
.... the gap between, domestic and foreign short-term rates, and the steady
state long-run interest rate gap that sets goods flows to zero. The assumption
is that the prices of the domestic and foreign goods in their respective for-
eign currencies are "incorrect" based on the fundamentals of the respective
countries and that agents know this (and know that the exchange rate path is
unstable) but cannot be sure of the de-gree of "incorrectness" or the
persistence of the di vergence. Embedded into this model are as-sumptions about
PPP that provide comfort about this benchmark's ability to give the "correct"
relative prices. It i .....

Monetary/Fiscal Policy
.... 2,3,and 7). President Clinton,
Chairman Greenspan, and Congress are all working towards a balanced budget by
the year 2002. As many economists explain , the need is for legislation to keep
the budget balanced for years to come and not look for a quick fix to balance
the budget for only a few months to quiet critics. The government takes steps
constantly to balance the budget; economists say that the chances of inking a
deal this year are better than ever.
President Clinton has currently proposed an offer of $100 billion in tax cuts
through 2002. These cuts are aimed at giving relief to middle class citizens.

Explain And Evaluate Critically Malthus's Population Theory.

years it would be 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on, provided there were no limits on
such "natural" rates of population increase.
Food. To learn how fast people might produce food, Malthus examined
agriculture in several countries, and made a rough estimate: all food produced
could increase each 25 years by at most the prior 25 years' increase. So if
food production is represented by 1, then after each 25 years it would be 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, and so on. In other words, food could only increase arithmetically,
whereas the population if otherwise left unfettered would tend to increase

The company is looking at other possible new businesses, that are natural
developments of the company's existing businesses, in the same way Power has
evolved from Petroleum and Mining. One of these is Manufacturing, using the
skills developed in the Steel division.
In 15 years BHP has gone from being a domestic steel producer with small
petroleum and mining operations, to having a significant international presence

Managing The Transition From Maturity To Decline: Diamond Power Corporation
.... it main competitor, Copes-Vulcan. With the passage of
time, production efficiency and technology were not enough. Diamond eventually
had to add foreign sales, customer service, and replacement part production to
its original plan to keep ahead of the game. By the 1970's, the mission to
supply replacement parts and service became one of Diamond's top priorities as
it opened parts and service plants in New Jersey, Georgia, Ohio, Texan, Colorado,
North Dakota, California, and Washington.
Diamond Power's goals over the years seem to stay pretty congruent with
its mission up until the early 1980's. Basically, Diamond's goals included .....
