If yes, what implication does this type of competition have for Nederland’s business? I do believe that Nederland Concerts competes with; TV, movies, cd’s, DVD’s, streaming video’s, and sports events because of many reasons. Timing for one, I never have time to or the money to go to a concert; watching TV, DVD’s or streaming videos is a lot cheaper and economical for me and many other Americans who are on budgets. Purchasing the DVD and being able to watch it when it is convenient for me and easier that going to a concert. Nederland Concerts also competes with sports events, an American past time.
Still others state that only a small percentage of these colleges and universities make a profit from their athletic programs, most actually lose money (Bienen). For those athletes whose names and numbers are popular, significant revenue is generated and it is illegal for them to profit in any way from it. These are some of the issues involved in the controversy. One of the economic issues surrounding this issue relate to whether the scholarship, and the additional benefits received from playing at these institutions brings, is considered itself a form of payment (Dorfman). Aside from room, board, books, and tutoring, these athletes receive top coaching, training, and often exposure for a possible professional athletic career.
The money being used to make pennies could be made for other, more useful, things such as buying supplies for schools or helping the homeless. With the cost of penny making going up, the price of everything else has gone up along with it. Because of the growing and evolving economy, no longer does something cost a penny (Source C). Due to the inconvenience, most cashiers become frustrated when someone tries to pay for something with pennies. Although, by eliminating the penny, prices would either have to rounded up or down, but this could be a “win-win” for both the consumer and the corporate businesses.
The outsourcing of jobs is not a bad thing for the company because it makes them more money, but for the people who don’t have what young people talk about as bank! Have to try and make something happened. Gas can run anywhere from $3.19- $3.79 and up in Texas alone. But yet major company’s want to outsourcing jobs, and capitalize on the little bit of money they gain. As they manage to indirectly take food off of Americans tables.
Without any actors, athletes, or musicians the world would be a boring place because America is driven by entertainment. So there for, human capital value pays athletes. Undoubtedly, professional athletes deserve their money, but that doesn’t mean other professions do not deserve to be paid just as much. Athletes earn their money in different ways. Teachers, doctors, cops, and other beneficial careers get paid from our tax dollars; whereas our sports players get a small portion of our taxes and to top it off money from spendy fans.
Companies’ off-label drugs so that they can make a great deal more profit in the end. This is because instead of just selling and having one drug on the market for one sole purpose, they can have one drug on the market that can be used for several other treatments. Although they cannot legally promote the off-label uses of their drugs to the doctors, some companies take the risk anyways for personal benefits. Take Pfizer for example; they had four off-label drugs out on the market that resulted in making their patients sicker and even causing death for the uses that they were prescribed. This cost Pfizer $2.3 billion dollars.
At the same time, it gives the companies using them, a big advantage on their revenue, because the staff charges become lower than the companies who has legal labor. For the companies who take advantage of the illegal immigrants, there is a big pro with very cheap labor, but they also take a huge risk, if it is discovered, they would end up with a huge bill, and other punishments. A con to the United States is that they would not be paying taxes, so the government would not get their income from them, and at the same time, the illegal immigrants’ lives a life in a bad environment. They could eventually end up being blackmailed to pay some of their already low paycheck, so in the end, it would simply not be worth to live the life of an illegal immigrant. From that we can conclude that there in the end are not really any pros being an illegal immigrant.
Dead versus alive is a qualitative difference, and it allows not faster work, but doing work that is actually different. The plastic bag might not feel like technology, given the fancy handheld computing devices of today, but it is exactly technology and performs the rescaling that is so characteristic of technological change. Smaller computing and recording devices have changed the relationship of people to their music. It has changed how music is produced, much to the chagrin of recording labels, who used to make most of the money with their restrictive distribution practices. Now the musicians can record and distribute their own music, and collect remuneration in new and remarkable ways, such as asking for donations for otherwise free music.
