As economies globalize, new opportunities to generate prosperity and quality of life are arising though trade, knowledge-sharing, and access to technology. However, these opportunities are not always available for an ever-increasing human population, and are accompanied by new risks to the stability of the environment. Statistics demonstrating positive improvements in the lives of many people around the world are counter-balanced by alarming information about the state of the environment and the continuing burden of poverty and hunger on millions of people. This contrast creates one of the most pressing dilemmas for the 21st century. In this essay, Gray’s (2010) statement was also used for the analysis of the sustainability report of Bacardi Limited.
The main argument here is that the government is slow and doesn’t work efficiently enough no matter how much power they have. In a market economy the people and large businesses such as Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe’s would be able to get supplies to the places that were hit faster than the government, since there would be more profit motivation. A socialist system has a division of labor and quotas that are issued. The system can concentrate efforts and resources on the major tasks required to aid in whatever disaster that needs help. For example, the earthquake that occurred in Haiti in January 2010, the socialist system would be able to gather the resources needed, such as food, shelter, medicine and building materials, and they distribute them where they are needed.
In fact, those “growing” companies are not truly “growing” because that even if they are still making profit, they are losing consumers and market at the same time. Especially those companies who owns irreplaceable resource and products for now, they should have a clear cognition that no product is indispensable forever. In addition, companies always narrow themselves to a limited area so that it is hard to have extraordinary improvement in their products. In order to keep their competitiveness in this rapidly developing age, asking for trouble is necessary so that companies will be pushed to develop products to reach higher level of consumer satisfaction. It is important to focus on customers and customers’ needs instead of just persuading customers to make the exchange.
Why is Labour Productivity in the UK so low? There are a huge variety of reasons why, in comparison to other countries, our labour productivity is so low: One incredible important reason is that the government drive for full employment has been taking hold. As we can see here; our employment is faring well in comparison with other countries. However, a real problem is the government implementing policy that favours short term social benefit (like for example, mass employment, creation of needless projects simply to provide jobs), rather than long term economic benefit. There is a failure to realise that long term better economic welfare also means general higher standards of living, as people have enough money to buy everything they need and some of what they want, competition is rife so drives quality up and prices down, and the government are able to take in more taxes from firms who are much healthier financially.
The weakest force among all will be the threat of new entrants, because in North America and International markets, the costs for entering the industries are high and this discourages businesses from entering into such markets. (See Appendix 1) Long-term industry attractiveness In all the industries, there are tremendous opportunities for growth and sustainability but it will require capital investment to realize the growth.

He says the population will always grow but our resources are limited. With a growing population things will inevitably be overused and polluted by the sheer number of people that share this “common” property. He also says that utilitarianism should not be applied in the government. The People who make the money should be the ones that
Although confrontation of the aforementioned issues is of paramount importance, the most critical obstacle encountered by today’s managers, is their ability to effectively make decisions that allow the organizations they represent to adapt quickly to change. Without a fast-response to change, companies risk several compelling reasons to “adapt or die,” including a loss of market share to both foreign and domestic competitors; organizational atrophy, occurring as a result of stagnant lines of vertical communication mired in layers of bureaucracy; and missed global opportunities in larger, emerging free markets
Your future wealth is no longer depending on how hard you work; there are hardworking intelligent people and hard working less intelligent people in all groups of society. According to current research, one of the major challenges we face today in terms of increasing gaps is that hard work often offers little guarantee of success. There are three key points we need to change in order to replace a down spiral to a rising one, privatization, globalization and our use of technology. We rely on private corporations to create jobs and to produce the goods and services we need to survive. But a problem appears when a country change health care, education and natural resources from governmental businesses, that benefit everyone, to private corporations that only benefit one or a few.
In “Time to Recycle Recycling?” Ian Murray expresses skepticism at the widely popular and revered environmental movement, claiming that the way recycling is currently being conducted is inefficient, ineffective, and is doing more harm to the environment than good. Ian Murray is the Director of Projects and Senior Fellow in Energy, Science and Technology at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, and is also a conservative media commentator on science and global warming. In his article Murray attacks the efficiency of recycling, insisting that the actual process of recycling produces more carbon emissions than the initial “waste” of virgin resources. Murray also states that the convenient curbside pick-up for recycling is counterproductive due to the air emissions produced by the trucks, and the energy, labor, and water expended in the actual recycling process. He says such consequences are counterproductive to the goals of recycling and contradict environmentalist claims and intentions.
Why you think PM its important? Answer: PM is planning and controlling project activities to ensure goals and objectives are achieved on time, to the desired quality and within budget. Some companies in a certain period the economic situation is very good, but the absence of strengthening project management, capital expense plan, prior to carrying out investment projects has not been fully demonstrated, and ultimately lead to project failure. Therefore, regardless of the economic efficiency of enterprises is good or bad, businesses of all sizes need to strengthen project management, if there is no project, we must try to find projects, through innovative thinking, through continuous market demand analysis, market development to discover new items. For the current project, we should manage to make each project to success, which is to enable enterprises to obtain the necessary way to sustainable development.
