MAJOR MARKETING OBJECTIVE Although Michigan’s economy has taken an enormous downturn, the major marketing objective for Tim Horton’s is to expand into Michigan by pushing out most of the Starbucks stores in the area. Part of the reasoning for Tim Horton’s so succeed where Starbucks has not been able to in Michigan is because Tim Horton’s offers a wide variety of food and beverage items at competitive prices, whereas Starbucks has a more limited menu. According to the Detroit News, Starbucks Corp has closed 18 stores within the state of Michigan meaning big opportunities for Tim Horton’s to move in. With over 125 stores in Michigan, most of which are located in Detroit, Tim Horton’s is faced with an excellent opportunity to command the specialty coffee drinks quick service restaurant industry. Tim Horton’s already has an established base of loyal customers in Michigan which could be partially due to its close location to Canada; the country where Tim Horton’s first began.

In this section we are introduced to the golden years of Detroit in the 1940’s, a city that was once thriving on the massive wartime workforce that largely came from migrating blacks from the South, was quickly becoming defined by industrial business relocations, industrial plant terminations, widespread unemployment, lack of housing subsequent to rapid population expansions, and the ramifications that these events had on the local economy in Detroit. Sugrue specifically delves into the housing issues in Detroit that festered due to reluctance of racial integration in the city and the actions taken by wealthier white natives and local government institutions to confine blacks to specific areas of very low quality living spaces. During the wartime efforts, large companies like Ford that were located in Detroit were
Supporters argue that it is unfair that people can work hard, and put in a 40 hour work week, but still not make enough to support their families. Critics of the wage increase say that raising minimum wage would force employers to fire employees, lower their hours, or used automated machines rather than human workers. Some critics also contend that the jobs that pay minimum wage do not require skill, are for uneducated workers, and are not meant to support a
In order to counter this, government issues a minimum amount in which a business is allowed to pay their employees. The concept of minimum wage not only goes against everything it means to be a “free society”, but it is also completely illogical according to a vast majority of economists. If the government can control the real wages of millions of Americans by simply passing legislation that says so, then why stop at $9.04 per hour? Why not make it $15 per hour? Isn’t $100 per hour more compassionate to the average entry level, unskilled employee than $9.04 per hour?

INTRODUCTION He didn’t coin the term “lemons,” but whenever consumers get stuck with one - whether it’s a used car, a faulty appliance or a less-than-adequate health care insurance policy - George Akerlof’s prize-winning theory comes alive. When some parties to business transactions may have an information advantage over others, the economy is said to be characterized by information asymmetry. Information asymmetry causes markets to become inefficient, since all the market participants do not have access to the information they need for their decision making processes. There are two types of information asymmetry. The first is adverse selection.
Kasey Cleveland Mrs.Kimber ENG4U 15 January, 2013 Life Without a Human Journey is not a Life Worth Living Every being has basic rights and free will, however there are governments that in our world that take advantage of our basic human rights sometimes to the extreme extents. Some countries take it to the extent where ones grocery intake is tracked per week, and when free will and simple things like grocery intake is monitored so intently people often lack a real human journey. In George Orwell’s novel “1984”, the Party’s ability to corrupt the citizens leaves them unable to embark on their human journey. This is demonstrated through examination of thought crime, doublethink and newspeak. The inhabitants of Oceania are persistently being under observation leaves them unable to embark on their human journey.
