Epic Generated Automotive Industry was to create one thousand jobs for the citizens of Sparksville which was a definite number. The Oil Refinery was the third proposal, this proposal was I good yet I had to think about the sustainability I wanted for the city, and the smog that would be harmful to the city. The Oil Refinery was willing to create a minimum of five hundred jobs, the jobs could not be justifiable for the citizens of Sparksville.
In the early eighties, Hyundai Motor Company created an advertising campaign that appeared in many popular magazines. The advertisement was directed towards the working class who couldn’t afford many extravagant items. The punch line of the ad says that the car looks like a million dollars, therefore suggesting that people have the opportunity to buy a car that is worth more than they will have to pay. This gives them the opportunity to own a “superior” product that they would never have had the chance to buy. The article, “The Parable of the Democracy of Goods”, by Roland Marchand states that by convincing middle class consumers of the desirability of the “best” products and then offering those products at an affordable price, the middle class can have those same luxuries.

Obama however is trying to get most of the companies that were shipped oversea to come back to the United States with the incentives that there will be a tax break. They also agreed on boosting America’s energy production however that tides into the extremely high prices of gas that we have had in years. They both have agreed to look at different types of energy
A time it took place many times the documentary China Blue such as when there were Americans and people from other countries came to observe the factory. It has a big impact on buyers who plan to retail in stores, in a positive way reducing cost of bulk. This is because there is a reduction in international barriers such as tariffs, export fees, and import quotas. The losers in globalization as shown in documentary china blue are the workers at the factory. Workers become losers in this process because the producers have to sell their products close to dirt cheap which causes them to work more for cheaper.
According to the Yale economist Peter K. Schott, goods can be produced in China for a quarter of the price than if they were manufactured in other developed countries. These inexpensive goods increase American consumers’ purchasing power. The low prices allows US citizens to buy many more goods with their money and thereby increase their quality of life. The working and middle class Americans are the most benefited by China’s rise. According to the Heritage foundation, the middle and working economic strata depend on inexpensive Chinese products to maintain their standard of life.
Japan only accounts for 15% of the candelilla wax market. A Japanese owner might make drastic reductions in the production quantity, downsize or streamline the company, and lay off workers so production is lowered meet the needs of the Japanese company. Establishing a Japanese joint venture is probably the best option. A partnership with the Mitsuba Corporation would be the most beneficial because Mitsuba is Japan’s biggest importer of candelilla wax and has massive plans for worldwide expansion which could lead to more business for Ceras Desérticas. While Japan only accounts for 15% of the candelilla wax market, if Ceras Desérticas could lock the market with Mitsuba, Ceras Desérticas could focus on business interest in
Direct sales force and 2.A combination of wholesale dealers and company sales force. Baxton has a market share of 2.1% (exhibit 1) by volumes and 6% (exhibit 1) by sales in comparison to the total hoists manufactured in the USA. The distribution system present reflected the need to engage in the intensive personal selling since only 25% of sales was through company sales force. EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION a) Establishing a Sales Office: It will not only take advantage of the existing sales expertise but also allow Baxton to get first hand market information and enhance its distribution expertise. Direct Sales Efforts may lead to channel conflict with current US Wholesaler.
A review of 80 studies evaluating motivational methods and their impact on employee productivity highlighted several activities that could increase productivity (Verma, 1996). These activities included goal setting, efforts to enrich jobs, employee participation in decision making, and monetary incentives. The Engstrom bonus plan basically incorporated all of these activities. Where I think they fell short was the communication breakdown between the company and the employees when the economic downturn first started. I believe the monthly meetings between the company and the employees should have been putting more responsibility on the employees to come up with ideas to deal with reduced sales due to the economic conditions.
