Even the dynamic efficiency refers to a market’s ability to promote cost-reducing or product-enhancing technological change. Technology affects real-world competition too. Though technological advance have no influence on perfect competitive firms, yet they have influence on monopolistic firms and oligopolistic firms. Such firms have funds for research and development.

An example of this could be social security benefits. These motivations help the company recruit top level employees and increase their overall productivity.

Take the Brain surgeon and waitress for example. A rise in the wage rate will not attract many new brain surgeons in the short run as they train for a long period of time making it hard to attract new workers in the short run due to there not being the supply and also there are high qualifications needed to start the training which is rather hard to acquire due to not all students being able to achieve these qualifications thus supply again is low relative to demand. The inelastic supply of a brain surgeon is shown in fig.1. In contrast we can see that in fig.2 that the supply and demand for waitresses is elastic due to how low the qualifications and skills that are needed to do the job and also how short the training is making it easy to employ in the short run. Another factor affecting the

Case Analysis - 3 Achieving Success in Virtual Teams Overview: In today's competitive world, companies are gradually vacating their cubicles and enter into the virtual workforce to increase work efficiency, reduce cost and resolve organizational problems (Ahmed & Ebrahim, 2009). Nowadays, companies are investing a bulk amount of money on virtual teams to enhance their performance since it has become an indispensable prerequisite for companies to stay in competitive in the era of globalization (Ahmed & Ebrahim, 2009). Virtual teams consist of members from different cultural backgrounds who work in various organizations with different set of standards and members of the virtual teams have the least probability to meet in person (Nelson & Quick, 2013, p. 348). The greater percentages (approximately 90%) of people are responsible for both success and failure of the virtual teams whereas technology plays only 10% role (Nelson & Quick, 2013, p. 348). Communication effectiveness and stimulating work are considered two essential human factors in terms of shaping the success and failure of virtual teams (Nelson & Quick, 2013, p. 348).
People claim the purpose of a corporation is to better the economy,but thats not true. If there come a time when companies need to cut back, they would start from the bottom(workers) to the top.

It is an ideology that encourages the concept of doing things by any means necessary, ignoring the suffering of humans given the fact that at that time, humans were suffering in factories with dangerous machines, the demand for labor decreased immensely, and human unemployment increased. There is no justifying the suffering of humans and the “loss” of humanity; however this does not negate the fact that in general, liberal ideologies are more free and practical than anything else. It looks at one part of a huge discourse that can very well be solved. We are looking at the unemployment and danger to humans in regards to the innovations of machines, not liberalism as a whole. We have to understand that there was much room for improvement in that respect.
With the increase of wages will have tremendous effects on economy because there would be no jobs available left for those who are looking for a job, According to Minimum wages don’t help the poor, “… These jobs enable workers to develop skills and gain experience that ultimately lead to higher productivity and wages.” That is why business is against on increasing the minimum wages and if they did increase it we the customers have to pay higher prices for the services and goods order for the business to make up for the profit they are
Now, because of the development and advancement in technology, people from other countries apply for jobs in America. Many factories and companies look for the cheapest and fastest labor. This results in manufacturing factories in other countries with non-Americans working and getting pay when there are millions of unemployed able men and women in America looking for a job. I feel that work will be my life in the future. Just like now, school is my life since I started kindergarten.
This, however, is a slippery slope because automation does not necessarily cause job loss. One must take a deeper look at how robots impact the industry. First of all, as mentioned before, companies who automate create direct and indirect jobs by doing so. It is true that robots could take low skilled factory jobs; however, the number of unemployed workers has stayed the same or even decreased throughout the years. Our society today is very technologically advanced and not utilizing those technologies will only put us at a disadvantage.
