1. Consider the nature of the trade-off between richness and reach of information. How is the trade-off defined? Give a real world example to qualify for the maximum possible credit. The trade-off between richness and reach of information means that reaching information at the different level of richness might cost differently. If someone would like to reach information, he needs to pay for this service, and the price depends on the richness of the information requested (Nayab, 2014).

Every organization has to work on the principles of ethics and responsibility. Ethics make the foundation of every business and if ethics are not followed as such, then the functioning of the business suffers and it loses it image and reputation at a gradual pace.

The given case is about the ethical dilemma being faced by George Cosgrove who is serving ...

Business Requirements in India

Titus (2007) revealed that the government laws and regulations of India are still being developed especially with regards to foreign investments. This is due to the fact that lobbying activities are normally being done through well connected individuals to influence business transactions (Titus, 2007). The outcome is the higher number of scams with regards to “lobbying” and the resulting effect is that the Indian legislators are perceived to be highly corrupt. The Indian law with regards to corruption is only seen in the Prevention of Corruption Act in 1988 and is perceived to be highly ...

Introduction

One could hardly imagine a resident of the developed country who has never delved into such aspect of popular culture as sport – either by buying a soccer ticket, buying exactly the same sneakers model David Beckham was wearing in that Adidas commercial, following the Olympics on TV or hunting some rare baseball cards. In the modern world, sport activities have become extremely different from the leisure games they used to be as they were invented. In the recent decades, significant societal, economic, political and cultural transformations turned sport not just into a socially meaningful phenomenon but rather in an ...

Poverty and scarcity

The scarcity of resources in the society has a relationship with poverty. However, poverty refers to a scenario where people lack basic necessities or adequate wealth to sustain meaningful life.

Therefore, poverty declines if people utilize the available resources in an efficient way to meet their needs. For example, a country that is in the civil war will have more people languishing in poverty than a stable country. On the other hand, scarcity refers to a shortage ...

Detail Economic Facet. From the point of view of a country’s economy, certain freedoms are essential to attract immigrants.

Introduction

Objective of the Discussion One of the most renowned marketing gurus Phillip Kotler argues that innovation is the most critical aspect of a successful business nowadays (Burk & Lemley, 2009).

Realizing that applying traditional cost-cutting methods of reducing overheads and attracting the new customers is no longer effective, the business community becomes focused on considering innovative approaches as the only effective method of keeping afloat and expanding the market shares ( ...

The environmental issues have always been put in the “corner of political agenda” (Rushefsky, 215) not only in the United States but almost in all states all over the world. They have been a subject of underestimation in concurrence with other problems as energy sources and economics. Unfortunately the goals of the environmental policies often compete with each other and do not contribute to their implementation by the governments. For instance, the goal of security contradicts the goal of efficiency providing the sense of uncertainty and the possibility of different interpretations. The individual’s or entity’s liberty rights ...

Classical Organization Theory

The classical organizational theory is identified as the oldest school of management pre-dated in the early twentieth century (Shafritz, Ott, and Jang, 2012). This theory is premised on efficiency of bureaucratic systems that operate in an organization. This school of management is based on ensuring maximum productivity of an organization’s systems. In this regard, this theory involves centralized decision-making, specialization of labor, and maximization of profit. For this reason, the theory encompasses a combination of three distinct concepts, bureaucratic, scientific, and administrative theories (Daft, Murphy, and Willmott, 2013). The classical organizational theory was advanced by the first scholars, ...

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue. After all, we make these choices at least three times a day and our individual decisions influence the global industry of food growth, production and processing. As Jones, Cardinal and Hayward remind us, we exist in society and are connected to other people. This is why our choices, in our case, the food choices, affect other people, and their decisions influence us as well (2006, p. 3).

Question 1

The function of gossip is to build strong bonds between individuals (Wert and Salovey 123). Individuals can share ideas, opinions, and emotions by finding common grounds that unite them. These points of convergence, whether positive or negative, unifies them in long-term friendships or a temporary association. Gossip also facilitates social comparisons that can either build up or tear down an individual. By comparing themselves with others, people gain insights into the validity of their opinions and beliefs, hence the description of gossip as “self-evaluative” (Wert and Salovey 123). Self-evaluation creates an avenue for identifying the shortfalls in one’s ...

Externalities take place when consumers/manufacturers activities have an unintentional or indirect impact on other consumers/manufacturers without affecting prices. According to Sankar, externalities may cause positive and negative effects (6). In other words, if the consumer or a group grants certain benefits to other economic agents, the externality is positive; if any activity is disadvantageous to other groups or individuals, then the externality is negative (7). According to Stiglitz (216), “Externalities arise whenever an individual or firm undertakes an action that has an effect on other individual or firm”. The externalities phenomenon tends to have a spillover effect in the ...

What is the case statement? What decisions does P & G need to make?

The Procter and Gamble Company has to revise its advert if it is to make a positive impact in the market. The proposed ‘Mumbles’ advert is comparative and implies negative notions on the use of Colgate and Palmolive’s ‘Simply White’ product. This form of advertising, is also involuntarily shifting the viewers’ attention to the rivalry between the two companies: when the objective, and this is an educative guess, is to show the brand’s prowess over the rival’s brand. P&G, therefore, needs to revise its advertisement approach towards a more positive and more product oriented approach. P&G ...

The Idea of Commons and Communing

Introduction Ideally, communization is the core pillar of both societal and national coherence. It promotes common interests and sense of mutual ownership of property among members of society.

Culture is crucial in comparing behavioral relationships and characters that constitute a society. Also, belonging to a particular cultural group is a warrant of systematic protection to individual’s existence in a community. Communization entails the cultural transformation in the sense that it brings everything in a community under ...

Thomas Hobbes is a 17-century English philosopher famous for his contributions into the theory of political philosophy. Thomas Locke believed that that the success of any state is in the monarchy and that only people’s full obedience to the sovereign can guarantee them protection and safety. Thomas Hobbes saw a success of a state in the theory of social contract under which people, initially born with rights, relinguish all their rights to the monach who, in his/her turn, protects his/her people and guarantees peace in the state itself. This theory is based on the idea that all people ...

In addition, there is such a term called “external costs” which are never displayed in the statement of income, no matter who pays for them. For instance, a firm decided to save money by not installing a proper equipment to prevent air pollution. As a result, publicity have ...

Introduction

Some actions such as divorce, same sex marriage and other practices were considered morally wrong in the past (Giletti, 2012). However, in the modern times, they have been legally accepted and most people are now thinking that these practices are not morally wrong. This is now the trend in the ethical issues of downloading digital music and videos. People think that downloading digital music and videos from the internet is morally wrong because it is still illegal. However, there are also people thinking that the illegality of this practice is not enough to settle its morality or ethical judgment. ...
