Aid can become an obstacle to development because of the tied nature of much aid, which benefits the donor country more than the recipient, in economic terms. Tied aid is bilateral aid in which the donor country specifies conditions relating to the way the money is spent. This often involved spending money on goods and services from the donor country. Aid is also an obstacle to development because of the frequently inappropriate use of aid on large capital intensive projects which may actually worsen the conditions of the poorest people. The strengthening of political ties as a result of bilateral aid may increase dependency and hinder democracy in the recipient country.
Figures on the cash flow forecast at this point will look very poor. Therefore it is important for the company to make sure that they are making enough money from the products that they are selling and haven’t under-priced them if they have used expensive materials. If the materials are too expensive then they must make sure that they have looked into buying cheaper material as long as this doesn’t affect the quality of the product that they are selling or this may also affect how well the product sells. Expenditure Changing the company’s expenditure will have an effect on the profit or loss it makes. If there is a large increase in some of the figures of the expenditure, it could mean that there would be either a large decrease in the profits made by the company or that the company’s loss figure has increased suddenly.

One of my main takeaways from this topic is that money isn’t the best motivator. According to Mayo’s Hawthorne effect, employees feel more motivated when their efforts are recognized, and this can be achieved through bonuses for example. However, this can increase individualism as employees will focus on outperforming their peers. Intrinsic motivation helps create loyal employees who are more satisfied on a personal level. An example of this could be social security benefits.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages of international trade in the simulation that cause the world’s economy to fluctuate and leave certain countries astray. One of the advantages to international trade that I found for countries was the monetary gains and having the ability to keep their own markets honest causing the local producers to improve its goods for the reason citizens have more choices available to them. The disadvantages of international trade have to deal with countries of higher power that try to take advantage of smaller countries by swindling their government into unorthodox trading during a crisis within those countries. Another disadvantage is the possibility of local producers becoming weak, causing the unemployment rate to rise because local producers are unable to compete with international
However, if the price goes too high, the demand will decline. The above descriptive model shows this relationship with the addition of the other costs associated with delivery of a product or service, which in turn affects price. The model shows that by adding the above costs together with price, demand will either increase or decrease. It is the assumptions of the above model are that along with the price (P) variable, the variables of advertising (A), transportation (T), and quality (Q) affect demand. One
As discussed in the previous research, comparing with the extrinsic motivators, intrinsic motivators do have a more significant influence on increasing higher level employees’ work passion and company’s productivity. Therefore, avoiding using extrinsic rewards but the intrinsic ones becomes the most useful and primary managements for company to operate properly. In the study of “Effects of Extrinsic Financial Rewards on Intrinsic Motivation” conducted by Robert D. Pritchard, Kathleen M. Campbell, and Donald J. Campbell, it mainly talked about Deci’s hypothesis which explained how and why extrinsic financial rewards are not working well on higher level employees. In the investigation of employees’ motivation, Deci believes that financial rewards (like higher payments) depending on the work performance may have a negative effect on workers’ intrinsic motivation. In order to support his hypothesis, Deci did an experiment aiming to compare and find out the relationship between financial rewards and intrinsic motivation through participants’ task performance (Pritchard, P9).
This is known as a spillover effect. There are both positive and negative externalities and both can lead to market failure. A negative externality is when the social cost of an action exceeds the social benefit. It occurs when an individual or firm makes a decision and doesn’t have to pay the full cost of the decision. If a good or a service has a negative externality, then the cost to society is greater than the cost a consumer is paying for it.
