...MEASURING ECONOMIC HEALTH Gross domestic policy (GDP) is the measurement of total output in goods and/or services in the U.S. economic statistics. The use of gross domestic policy (GDP) to measure the business cycle is a monetary measure for the economic productions. GDP uses the pricing from the value of a chosen year in the past. This allows for products to be kept at a constant price with being allowed to increase with the calculation value of GDP. The roles of government bodies that determine national fiscal policies are: Department of Treasury, Office of Management and Budget, and Office of the President of the United States. Department of Treasury is to manage, create, and control the fiscal policy; this is the most important aspect of fiscal policy. Office of Management and Budget is to develop the steps and watch over and check the fiscal policy. Office of the President of the United States is the final decision maker for the fiscal policy and meets approval. “Fiscal policy, changes in federal taxes and purchases that are intended to achieve macroeconomic policy objects.” (Glenn Hubbard) The effects of fiscal policies on the economy`s production and employment are the government spending less on economic products than the private products.

...SWOT Analysis : Strengths Firstly I think that our major strength is the fact that ”G” is an innovative concept; Indeed this is the first restaurant in the city that offers a complete takeaway meal made of salted and sweet waffles and at a competitive price, we offer meals at 8 euro for a salted and sweet waffle and a drink. In addition to being innovative, we found a local in a mall, this ensures the visibility of our restaurant and influx is a real advantage for us. Ideally, it would also be the place where the merchants would eat at lunch before getting back to work for example, so it would be our first customers. “G will insists on the fact that it is a French cook, and the waffles are made according to the French tradition and they are directly made in the restaurant in front of the customers so they can see how we wade them and what products we use. It is important for us to install trust between the customer and us. Besides, G is willing to buy local products and organic products which is also a financial advantage since we won’t have any transport fees, the products we are looking for are available in every supermarkets in France and are not expensive at all. Fianally we are also willing to offer a high-quality service so we will recruit our waiters mainly on the basis of their motivation, and of their personality. They will only need a couple hours of training in order to be efficient at work, but the most important for us is that the customers...

...Gitanjali (Song offerings) by Rabindranath Tagore Formatted for Rocket eBook by: Kirby A. Heintzelman - June, 2000 Rabindranath Tagore(1861--1941), was the first non-White to receive Nobel prize (1913) for Literature. The event of course caused some furor at the time. New York Times in its prodigious generosity consoled its readers by alluding to the fact that after all Tagore was of Aryan Stock. It was first published in 1913 as a collection of prose translations made by the author from the original Bengali (a language of India) Poems. Evidence does indicate that the poet W.B. Yeats had a hand in editing and publishing it! GITANJALI 1 Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new. At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill. 2 When thou commandest me to sing it seems that my heart would break with pride; and I look to thy face, and tears come to my eyes. All that is harsh and dissonant in my life melts into one sweet harmony---and my adoration spreads wings like a glad bird on its flight across the sea. I know thou takest pleasure in my singing. I know that only...

...Worldwide Equipment Case Analysis Discussion Weimin has not performed up to Worldwide Equipment standards. He is lacking in all aspects outlined by the company for position advancement: seniority, sales performance, sales leads generated, and team spirit. This is understandable for someone who is new to the sales position, but Weimin has shown little to no improvement. He was recently hired, so he certainly doesn’t have any seniority. Since being hired, he has generated 17 sales leads, and none of those have resulted in any sales. Both of these statistics are lows within the sales force. Weimin is also hugely lacking in team spirit; according to Wang, he is very “silent and introverted” and has “little ability to engage with people at all.” Wang hired Weimin on the basis of respecting his boss’ recommendation, but he also felt that his knowledge and connections within the textile industry could be beneficial. This is a unique characteristic that could set Weimin apart from the rest of the sales team, but he has not taken advantage of it. He has many connections within the industry, but he views them as friends, and he does not wish to mix his personal life and business life, so he neglects capitalizing on them. This is honorable, but if he doesn’t choose to find leads elsewhere, his potential for success is minimal. At one point, he tried to do business with one of his personal connections, and when it didn’t produce a sale, he burned a bridge by becoming deeply...

...Personal Dilemma Paper Nancy A. Rishavy University of Phoenix Ethics in Criminal Justice CJA 413 Matt Giordano September 12, 2010 Personal Dilemma Paper I haven’t worked for quite some time and I am at home 99% of the time so I really haven’t had any moral dilemmas to speak of but I do have friends that have served our country that have just recently retired or are still enlisted that have moral dilemmas on a daily basis. Here is the dilemma of one of my friends. On Feb. 2, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told members of Congress that "allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would be the right thing to do." He spoke words that she has waited years to hear: "We have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens. For her personally, it came down to integrity -- theirs as individuals, and ours as an institution." She had joined the Reserve Officers Training Corps as a freshman at the University of Michigan. In her junior year, she fell in love and realized that she was gay. This was all a bit preoccupying, but what overwhelmed her most was the weight of having to lie to the military. "Don't ask, don't tell" is a federal law that prohibits military service by openly gay Americans. It requires the nearly impossible of those who still want to serve -- that you be celibate and completely closeted. Anyone who knows you're gay is a risk, so the closet often extends into...

...mainly for a Prelude in C Sharp Minor which he wrote as a boy, while the works of his maturity never got into the programmes. Kids cut their pianistic teeth on a Minuet in G which Beethoven composed only so that he could detest it. I have to go on living with A Clockwork Orange, and this means I have a sort of authorial duty to it. I have a very special duty to it in the United States, and I had better now explain what this duty is. Let me put the situation baldly. A Clockwork Orange has never been published entire in America. The book I wrote is divided into three sections of seven chapters each. Take out your pocket calculator and you will find that these add up to a total of twenty-one chapters. 21 is the symbol for human maturity, or used to be, since at 21 you got the vote and assumed adult responsibility. Whatever its symbology, the number 21 was the number I started out with. Novelists of my stamp are interested in what is called arithmology, meaning that number has to mean something in human terms when they handle it. The number of chapters is never entirely arbitrary. Just as a musical composer...

Both restaurants are known for their casual dining atmosphere in suburbia America. What a lot of people do not know is that the same company, Darden, owns these companies. The article states that the company will begin offering a both Red Lobster and Olive Garden under the same roof, a strategy often used by fast-food restaurant chains. This move leads me to believe that Darden is trying to implement a, much like their restaurants, a combination strategy. The new combination restaurant exemplifies the concentric diversification strategy by taking the two individual restaurants and evolving them under one roof. They will continue to capitalize on each of the restaurants specialties while minimizing the cost of two separate buildings. Additionally, they will use the strategy of market development to nicely complement concentric diversification. The article continues to explain that Darden has chosen to use the Red Lobster-Olive Garden restaurant fusion to reach potential customers that live in rural areas. Why has the company decided on this strategy? ...

...ANALYSIS6 MCD got off to a strong start in 2010 with a solid recovery in U.S. comparable sales growth, sustained momentum in international sales growth, and impressive operating margin gains in its first quarter. Analyst remain confident that MCD’s competitive advantages, including a universally known brand and unparalleled scale advantages, position the firm to thrive under any economic environment. After posting flattish U.S. comparable sales in January and February, MCD came back strong in March with 4.2% growth, thanks to a general increase in consumer optimism as well as menu innovations such as frappes, value-priced beverages, and the breakfast dollar menu. Analysts continue to anticipate low- to mid-single-digit comparable sales growth in the U.S. during 2010. There were also several reasons for optimism in Europe, as MCD continued to outperform other quick-service restaurant chains across the Continent, including key markets such as France, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Asia/Pacific, Middle East, and Africa results were also encouraging, including further improvement in China comparable sales trends. There is no change to analysts’ full-year expectations of mid-single-digit comparable sales growth in MCD’s international segments. The 220-basis-point increase in consolidated operating margins to 29.8% was the highlight of the quarter, very likely due to favorable food and paper commodity prices. Although commodity prices are expected to rise during the second half...

...Executive Summary – Porcini Pronto: “Great Italian Cuisine without the wait!” Problem Identification Porcini’s is a full-service Italian food restaurant that is looking to expand their business beyond their domestic market which is currently saturated. As a small private company, Porcini’s does not possess the capital or brand recognition compared to their big chain competitors who are capable of expanding their business abroad. The company is currently assessing the viability of a new concept, Porcini’s Pronto, which will need to meet the company’s 6% hurdle rate. Key Decision Criteria Porcini’s will face several challenges with this new venture and will need to analyse several factors before deciding to proceed. One of the most crucial choices will be the location of the Pronto restaurants since this will define the restaurant’s target customers. The decision to build Pronto in high traffic locations requires catering the service to meet the demands of the customers who are looking for convenience, but at the same time, quality food. This will pose a challenge as the two are hard to achieve together without incurring significant costs. Currently, Pronto does not face significant competition for full-service Italian restaurants serving in-a-hurry diners. However, the choice of locations for Pronto puts the restaurant in direct competition with fast-food chains. Pronto will need to convince customers that their value proposition of quality and service is greater than...

...Welcome to Ruby Tuesday 1 Welcome to Ruby Tuesday BUS 100 Dr. Etta Steed Welcome to Ruby Tuesday 2 Ruby Tuesday is a casual dining restaurant that I often visit with my family. On most occasions I am overwhelmed with the menu items. I tend to take long at ordering my food due to indecisiveness. The things that I noticed to be Ruby Tuesday’s strengths are the quality of customer service they offer and the salad bar option. Although the restaurant is one of my favorite I think that the lighting could be better and the pricing on the food can be lower. Overall Ruby Tuesday is a great restaurant as they are able to stand out by including the salad bar in casual dining. As most restaurants do Ruby Tuesday is no different when it comes to making the menu editable. I love to try different foods when I go out with my family and it tends to be harder when all menu items look good. Like most restaurants Ruby Tuesday has pictures on the menu and they also have signature daily dishes. Implementing daily food items makes the restaurant meet fine dining expectations to be in the market of competition with restaurants like Arizona’s. Arizona’s is a very high end restaurant that have chefs that decide on daily menu items. With Ruby Tuesday picking up this as an option it is giving fine dining restaurants some competition because they have lower prices. The salad bar offered by Ruby Tuesday is an amazing experience as most restaurants serve salad with meals but you are able...
