... Wilhelms-Universitat in Bonn(a German economists), shared the award, and the $930,000 cash award for their achievements in economics." The trios accomplishment portrayed the significance of Von Neumann and Morgenstern's contribution to game theory, which was recognized by economists and others almost immediately. The lessons they drew from homely games like chess and poker had exemplified universal application to economic situations in which the participants had the power to anticipate and affect other participants' actions. Harsanyi stated "it is a theory of strategic interactions...of rational behavior in social situations in which each player has to ch ...
... Industrial engineering technicians use the principles and theories of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve problems in research and development, manufacturing, sales, construction, and customer service.

They also prepare layouts of machinery and equipment, plan the flow of work, make statistical studies, and analyze production costs. Those in research and development bu ...
... events would be minimized, or even non-existing without commercials, but there is a limit to everything. And the limit to this has been reached. Every time tou want to have a good relaxing football match in front of the TV you see COCA-COLA and IBM and all other known brands all over the TV so that it is hard to see the atheletes because of all the billboards. I think it sucks!. Of course the advertizers should have the oppurtunity to show their colors at sports events, but if it was a little but more discrete, it would certainly be a lot more enjoyable to see football games on TV. As we all know, there will be a “unimportant” spo ...
... on business inports and exports. * Guarantee the consumers the fairness of the GST implementation. * Increase the Real purchasing power of consumers.('Tax Reform. Not a new tax. A new tax system', from the Regulation Impact Statement for the Introduction of a Goods and Services Tax).

The current taxation system incurrs both economic and social disadvantages on the country, the community and the businesses. The Govern ...
... wagon maker there to take a stake in the company. While one of the carriage-makers went for a ride with Marr in his car and immediately learned to drive it himself, the other partner, Billy Durant, wouldn't so much as look at it. Undaunted, Marr drove the car back and forth in front of Durant's house that evening, and the next morning he returned. Impressed by Marr's persistence, Durant this time agreed to go for a ride. Only then did Durant realize that Marr wasn't trying to sell him the car--he was trying to sell him the company. Durant was never one to pass up a business opportunity--he collected companies the way somebody's pack-rat uncle might collect broken ...
... have increasingly come from specialized, high value-added industry and from intelligent, flexible companies able to shift production quickly to capitalize on movements in world demand. The net result of these changes has been a transition to a post-industrial society, where the stable economic order of mass employment in large-scale industry has given way to mass unemployment and a breakdown of the political and social consensus that held sway throughout the post-war period. These changes have fundamentally altered the Western European labor market. This paper will show how post-industrialism has dramatically reduced the ability of many Western European co ...
... role in the economy to be shrinking includes the privatisation of government business enterprises (GBE) and deregulation of the financial market. The main roles that the Australian government plays today are to ensure: 1) The efficient and even distribution of income (though CSSB, tax) 2) Provide a limited range of goods and services (Aust post) 3) General economic management through macro and micro economic policies. In 96/97 the CAD fell to $20.9bn from the $27bn blowout during 95/96. This was largely due to a fall in domestic spending which lead to a slight rise in national savings. Inflation remained low and fell between the RBA ...
... the scenery changes in the weather. The individual is not under continual supervision and uses personal judgment in pacing the day. A typical work week usually consists of a 5-day 40-hour schedule. The driver strive to keep the workday at 8 hours, but since the parcels must be delivered on time to maintain the company reputation, overtime work is occasionally is necessary. Also, the constant driving in heavy traffic, starting and stopping to deliver, and the repetition of duties may become tiring. The weather also plays an important role in working conditions and environment because one is exposed to it many times a day. The workers also must wear brown unifo ...
... multibillion-dollar overhang, Thai business remains paralyzed with frozen cash flow. Also affected are the private sectors and the countries banking system. The private sector carries huge debt because of the crisis. Andrew Maule a banking analyst at ABN Amro Asia Securities states, "It's quite realistic to assume that non-performing loans will hit 50 percent. Ultimately there will have to be a bailout." 1 The banks are looking at the government to bail them out but as of December 30, 1998 no banks had requested government aid. At the beginning of the crisis in July, the baht was at B25.90/US$ and is currently at B36.90/US$ signifying a decrease of 29.81%. M ...
... days, with optional extra hours. This is not usually a topic in negotiations, but could be. Working conditions could be discussed. If workers in 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, t ...
