Location Analysis Of A Franchise Resturaunt
.... in Edmonton.
Ron Coyle, the original owner, named the restaurant 'Boston' because the Boston
Bruins NHL hockey team was the favorite of the Edmonton area in the 1960's and
he wanted his business to use sports as a promotion. Another reason, which may
have been more of a coincidence, was that his accountant's surname was Boston
("only way", 37).
Boston Pizza and Spaghetti House became a popular restaurant and in 1968
it began to operate as a franchise. In mid-1968, Jim Treliving, a former drum
major for the RCMP, and his friend Don Spence bought the franchising rights for
British Columbia with the exception of Vancouver. T .....

The Relevancy Of The Heartland - Hinterland Distinction In Canada's Economic Geography
.... the other. These two regions show remarkable contrasts, yet they are to
a large extent interdependent on each other, clearly suggesting that the
heartland-hinterland distinction is quite relevant in terms of Canada's economic
geography.
Upon discussing the importance of the heartland-hinterland in Canada, it is
necessary to discuss what each term refers to. According to McCann the
heartland is an area "… which possesses favourable physical qualities and grant
food accessibility to markets; they display a diversified profile of secondary,
tertiary, and quaternary industries; they are characterized by a highly
urbanized and .....

What I Understand From Term "Development"

living standard, reduce inequalities and abolish poverty among their members.
The state of development theory is not of a standard that enables us to make
generalised statements. IUt sounds very idelaistic. However the term
development just cannot be measures on statistics and incomes of the population.
It needs to be investigated whether the income i eequally distributed and
whether there is an availability of various services.

U.S. Budget Deficit - Good Or Bad?
.... Also, the deep recession of the early 1980s reduced
revenues, raising the deficit and forcing the Government to spend much
more on paying interest for the national debt at a time when interest
rates were high. As a result, the national debt grew in size after
1980. It grew from $709 billion to $3.6 trillion in 1990, only one
decade later.

concern, but also a concern among the relationships of Americans. Finally
globalization has changed the way we do business, demanding new levels of
expertise in dealing with people (Klinkenburg.)
Rude business etiquette goes on daily in our country. Sometimes it is
so common, people start to perceive it as normal behavior of our society. As
stated before, proper business etiquette will get you farther, just that extra
step will lead you to better business and better relationships. One of the most
observed behaviors in United States is telephone rudeness. For instance, not

Modern Economic Theories
.... Keynesian economics pushed for a
“happy medium” where output and prices are constant, and there is no
surplus in supply, but also no deficit. Supply Side economics
emphasized the supply of goods and services. Supply Side economics
supports higher taxes and less government spending to help economy.
Unfortunately, the Supply Side theory was applied in excess during
a period in which it was not completely necessary.
The Supply Side theory, also known as Reganomics, was
initiated during the Regan administration. During the 1970's, the
state and local govern .....

Farm Subsidies - A Necessary Evil?
.... while reducing the need for as many
farm laborers. The industrial boom of the 1920s drew many workers off the
farm and into the cities. Machinery, while increasing productivity,
was very expensive. Demand for food, though, stayed relatively
constant (Long 85). As a result of this, food prices went down. The small
farmer was no longer able to compete, lacking the capital to buy productive
machinery. Small farms lost their practicality, and many farmers were
forced to consolidate to compete. Fewer, larger farms resulted (Reische 51).
During the Depression, unemployment grew while income shrank. "An extended
drought had aggravated .....

"Trapping Should Be Illegal-Then And Now"

sending everyone they could to settle in New France. Courieurs de Bois,
began coming to the colony to trap furs and sell them back in France.
France granted land to poor people that were willing to risk the great
voyage. The colony flourished, and grew.
It was the fur trade that was mostly responsible for this colony.
However, some think that by this point the colony was large enough to
illegalize fur trapping and still remain a profitable colony for France.
However, there is one major reason that fur trading should have been
allowed: Relations with the Indians.

Government Spending & Budget
.... of failure to follow through come
with historical proof that Congress and Clinton have failed to compromise
and resolve the issue. After all, current budget plans are dependent on
somewhat unrealistic predictions of avoiding such catastrophes as recession,
national disasters, etc., and include minor loopholes. History has shown
that every budget agreement that has failed was too lax. One might
remember the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings bill that attempted to balance the
budget, but left too many exemptions, and was finally abandoned in 1990
(Weinberger 33).
So after a pain-staking trial for GOP Republicans to create, pr .....

Economic Development Of Hawaii

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 wholesale and retail trade and in
services have risen, standing at about 23% and 28%, respectively.
Since 1991, Hawaii's economy has suffered from rising rates of
unemployment. This stands in .....

Marketing Of Honda Motorcycles In The USA

declined with the level of output. This provided Honda to achieve a highly
competitive cost position which they used to penetrate into the US market.
" The basic philosophy of the Japanese manufacture is that high volumes
per model provide the potential for high productivity as a result of
using capital intensive and highly automated techniques. Their marketing
strategies are therefore directed towards developing these high model
volumes, hence the careful attention that we have observed them giving to
growth and market share." (BCG p.59 ).

maintain high levels of quality, staying in control, (which means going slowly)
is the key. Frank Toskan, 45, founder and CEO of Make-up Art Cosmetics, was
previously a Canadian hairstylist, make-up artist and photographer, who
developed his own professional cosmetics because he felt that the existing lines
couldn't link with the harsh lighting used in photography, stage , film and
video work. Over the last 10 years, 160 shades of lipsticks in 7 different
finishes, 150 eye shadows, 60 blushes and hair care have been created for the
