Because of the lack of passion, the middle or center most position will never garner the enthusiasm that fuels the fiery rhetoric and mass protests that the more polar positions wield. But I believe that by far, the most productive and sustainable legislation and business practices always come from the center.

Prior to polices established by Law of Commerce Henkel Iberica participated in aggressive pricing to increase market share. The consequences of this were a negative effect on margins, contribution margins, and profits on sales. To contend with its competitors, Henkel invested in promotions and additional product mix to increase sales, but due to lack of accuracy in long range forecast it was often left with either over stock that is difficult to reallocate or loss of sales due to out of stock products which eventually led to a decrease of net earnings in sales year before. Accurately forecasting demand is the key to every strategic, tactical, and operational decision designed to keep our business competitive. Obviously it is evident that Henkel Iberica current process isn’t working due to challenges of forecast exactness and demand variability for all the products it offers.
Therefore, the end does not justify the means. The fact that the individual bought the computer (the ends) does not justify the fact that they stole the money (the means).

In conclusion, the method of means which violate our morals cannot validate the end
