Was Government Technological Control Beneficial for American People? The government during the 19th Century was beginning to be involved in many on going projects. The steam engines were one of the first inventions that the Government regulated. Steam engines changed the relationships between the federal government, state governments, and private property owners for the future inventors. Governmental agencies became involved in the steamboats with Fulton and Livingston when their Monopoly took over waterways, restricting the travel up and down the Hudson Years after the Civil War saw major technological industrialization and advances like the railroad.
Evolving, growing and managing a team of people is never perfect. The rebellions and arguments teams have within themselves resolve into working master pieces! Advances and industrial sweeps take a toll on success and soon enough, the teams goal is close to accomplished. The 1800’s industrial revolution paved the way for faster systems and organized concepts which inevitably helped the twenty-first century to have become what it is today. During the 1800’s, industrialization took the economy by storm.
The recession hit close to home for the Tories, effecting the middle class not just the working class of the industrial north. Businesses were also drastically affected, with high investment rates no one was investing resulting in 48,000
The communities were these jobs were lost have been devastated. Families’ lively hoods have been broken, retirement pensions are questionable, and the revenue this company generates for the city in which it resides. According to CNNMoney.com the company has asked for an extension for the liquidation of their inventory until March 31 and they are only waiting for the courts approval. If this does not succeed stakeholders, stockholders, investors, and suppliers would be affected alike. Ethically I found it hard to believe that this happening in the United States and that our economies have become so terrible that the Circuit City’s in Canada are not closing and their profits are up.
During an investigation there were many questionable accounting transactions that were brought up, such as large executive bonuses as well as many loans for large amounts of money that were later forgiven without repayment. Kozlowski and Swartz were sentenced to 8 – 25 years in prison ("Investopedia", 2014). Then a lawsuit against Tyco cost the company $2.92 billion in repayment to its investors ("Investopedia", 2014). The biggest issue here was allowing for a CEO and CFO to have too much access to funds. A protocol should be in place that when a sale of stocks is made and no one authorized it then a full audit should take place from a third party or if a loan is going to be made then more then just the CEO and CFO’s approval needs to be given.

Just like in social cultures, business cultures program the workforce of a company with a common set of standards, and attitudes. Corporate cultures are responsible for a company’s organizational behavior. In December 2000, Home Depot’s leadership was the responsibility of Robert Nardelli. Although Home Depot was already a profitable company, there was a financial and operational worry putting in danger the company’s
The reasons this occurs is due to numerous factors like the number of companies going out of business, lack of job growth, future plans for job growth does not meet the need, founding father’s not allowing large business to come to town, education level of community, sales tax is high, and average household income is low. Another reason for the high unemployment rates in Mohave County is that there are some very rural areas and job availability is low. Some people actually make more living off the unemployment benefits then they would get paid at a minimum wage job. “Unemployment benefits range from $60 to $240 per week depending on a person’s previous income” (Pelham, 2011). “The average job growth is 1.46% lower than the Nation’s average.
Once independence was declared in 1776, the balancing of laws between local, state, and federal governments threatened the welfare of the people and the economy. To gain balance, we wrote the Articles of Confederation and a second constitution, but this wasn’t enough to settle the power being fought over. The division of responsibility was something we debated over since the late 18th centuries and it eventually shows how our economy is shaped around the government.
