in 1978 and proposed that profit was less important than fairness in the relationship. According to Hatfield (2011) “According to Equity theory, people feel most comfortable when they are getting exactly what they deserve from their relationships—no more and certainly no less” Exchange Theory is more concerned with under-benefit as a disadvantage but Equity Theory places a greater emphasis on both under-benefit and over-benefit. Under-benefits are likely to provoke a sense of anger and resentment and over-benefits are likely to provoke a sense of guilt. The Equity model suggests that a person would be driven to restore the equity within an unbalanced relationship by either reducing their input or increasing their outputs and it is the inability to reach balance that can lead to the breaking of the relationship. Investment theory focusses on the extent to which commitment is determined by investment in a relationship rather than solely satisfaction or reward.
Introducing an ally who resisted the majority caused conformity levels to drop sharply (5%). The presence of an ally makes an individual feel more confident and better able to stand up to the majority. Asch also discovered that people are better able to resist pressure to conform if the decision has a moral dimension. For Asch’s participants, the costs of conforming were not particularly great given the insignificance of the task. However if the behaviour is judged as immoral such as joining others in cheating there is less evidence of conformity as the costs are perceived as greater.

While wealth is not zero-sum, there is simply less disposable income available- making the precious use of scarce resources of greater concern and raising the specter of risk into the mind of the consumer. To overcome the “limited wealth,” mentality, we must work harder and longer with less to make more and do it better than our competitors. 4. Alternative Solutions. Reduce redundancy and maximize demonstrably proven project outcomes to provide the consumer with a superior product which is durable, easy to maintain, effective, useful and simple to operate, and does not require significant financial outlay toward proprietary elements when equivalent yet more economical alternatives are as readily available.
For starters, there is no value in holding 60 days' worth of inventory, to adopting lean principles would immediately help us to commit to inventory reduction and better alignment between production and demand. Consider that demand was stable for the past two quarters; we should be able to achieve such
Ensuring that their compensation is competitive with the market and valuing the employee’s opinions are just two ways to accomplish this. However it is done, a happy workforce is a productive workforce. Reference Robbins, S. P., & Judge, T. A. (2011). Organizational behavior (14th ed.).
He found that people were much more likely to relapse when they believed withdrawals were going to be negative. Those who were told to expect no negative withdrawals were less likely to relapse as they had a positive expectation. This provides evidence for the key role expectancy has in relapse. However Tate’s experiment can be criticised. The independent group design could have meant, by chance, the group who were told to expect no negative withdraws, were naturally more determined people, thus increasing their chance of giving up anyway.
Friedman’s article lacks this quality of being open to self criticism; he writes in absolutes. The phrases, “we need”, and “we can’t” reveal that he is not leaving much room for change. Thirdly, “Mature reasoners argue with their audiences or readers in mind”(14). As previously observed, Time to Reboot America, is directed towards the general public, and one phrase that gives relevance to the intended audience is “we must make certain that every bailout dollar, which we’re borrowing from our kid’s future, is spent wisely”(paragraph 9). Bringing the kids into the picture conveys relevance, and peaks the interest of the targeted audience.
Case: The Nice Trap? One downside of agreeableness is that agreeable people tend to have lower levels of career success. Though agreeableness doesn't appear to be related to job performance, agreeable people do earn less money. Though we're not sure why this is so, it may be that agreeable individuals are less aggressive in negotiating starting salaries and pay raises for themselves. Yet there is clear evidence that agreeableness is something employers value.
