The Broad Outline of the Book I use Figure 1.1 as a template to describe the broad outline of the book and course. Since the students typically have not had a chance to read Chapter 1 in the first course session, I stick fairly closely to the chapter material. The major points I discuss are: • Accounting in an ideal setting. Here, present-value-based accounting is natural. I go over the ideal conditions needed for such a basis of accounting to be feasible, but do not go into much detail because this topic is covered in greater depth in Chapter 2. • An introduction to the concept of information asymmetry and resulting problems...

...MARKETS AND PRICES CHAPTER 1 PRELIMINARIES TEACHING NOTES The first two chapters reacquaint students with the microeconomics that they learned in their introductory course: Chapter 1 focuses on the general subject of economics, while Chapter 2 develops supply and demand analysis. The use of examples in Chapter 1 facilitates students’ complete understanding of abstract economic concepts. Examples in this chapter discuss markets for prescription drugs (Section 1.2), introduction of a new automobile (Section 1.4), design of automobile emission standards (Section 1.4), the minimum wage (Section 1.3), the market for sweeteners (Section 1.3), and real and nominal prices of eggs and education (Section 1.3). Discussing some of these, or another, example is a useful way to review some important economic concepts such as scarcity, making tradeoffs, building economic models to explain how consumers and firms make decisions, and the distinction between competitive and non-competitive markets. Parts I and II of the text assume competitive markets, market power is discussed in Part III, and some consequences of market power are discussed in Part IV of the text. Review Question (2) illustrates the difference between positive and normative economics and provides for a productive class discussion. Other examples for discussion are available in Kearl, Pope, Whiting, and Wimmer, “A Confusion of Economists,” American Economic Review (May 1979). The chapter concludes with a discussion...

...Chapter 1 THE RESEARCH PROBLEM Introduction This Action Research was undertaken to describe the impact of teacher-made advance exercises as intervention on disruptive behavior of pupils when learning division skills in elementary arithmetic operation. The subjects of this study were Grade Two – A pupils who were constantly disrupting the class during Mathematics period taken from the list made by the teacher through visual observation. For the last two grading periods handling a cream class, a lot of repeated disruptive behaviors such as incessant talking or getting out of their seats to name a few, which were very taxing to the teacher, were observed. These disruptive behaviors were mostly due to boredom especially to those pupils who got to finish their seatwork fast. This called for a classroom management skill. Hollowell (2013) mentioned in her article that classroom management skills are essential for all teachers. Supervising a group of children with different personalities and backgrounds is a challenging task. You are responsible for their academic growth while ensuring that the learning environment stays welcoming and secure. This includes dealing with disruptive pupils. According to Tyson (2013), disruptive students are always present in every classroom. Regardless of scenario or perhaps how great you happen to be as being a teacher, in one way or another they will and can be found. All of which will develop problems provided an open possibility.

...Jordan Mauldin 810673897 January 22, 2016 MGMT 4240 Chapter 1 Discussion Questions 3. Is there a difference between service quality and product quality? If so, what are the implications of these differences for a manager of a service business, such as a restaurant or a retail store? - Service quality is more difficult to define than product quality. Although they share many attributes, services have more diverse quality attributes than products. According to the textbook author Thomas Foster (p.5), this often results from wide variation created by high customer involvement. Service settings are more complex; thus quality is more difficult to define. A customer of a restaurant, for example, evaluates the quality of the restaurant not only on the merits of the food but also on the demeanor of the employees, the speed of the service, the location of the restaurant, the pleasantness of the surroundings, and so forth. A manager of a restaurant or retail store must place as much attention on the quality of the product (food being served in the case of the restaurant) than the actual delivery of the service. 5. Why is communication within an organization an important part of the quality improvement process? - It is difficult to devise a coherent strategic plan relating to quality when communication is imprecise. One important attribute of a strategic plan is functional alignment or consistency. If different departments in a company understand quality differently, then the...

...Chapter 2: 1) Market oriented mission statement defined in terms of satisfying basic customer needs. Important questions that should be taken into consideration are what is our business, who is the customer, what do customers value and what should our business be? 2) Business portfolio planning involves two steps (1) the company must analyze its current business portfolio and determine which business should receive more, less, or no investment. (2) it must shape the future portfolio by developing strategies for growth and downsizing. First marketing provides a guiding philosophy- the marketing concept that suggests the company strategy should revolve around building profitable relationships with important consumer groups. Second marketing provides inputs to strategic planners by helping to identify attractive market opportunities and assessing the firm’s potential to take advantage of them. Finally within individual business units, marketing designs strategies for reaching the unit’s objectives. 3) True market orientation does not mean becoming marketing driven; it means that the entire company obsesses over creating value for the customer and views itself as a bundle of processes that profitably define, create, communicate, and deliver value to its target customers to create value. 4) Dividing a market into distinct groups of buyers who have different needs, characteristics, or behaviors, and who might require separate products or marketing programs.

Mayamot, Antipolo City, Rizal, Philippines History of the Company: Raner Trading and Car Care Services has been serving its community for more than five years since it was established by its sole proprietress Ms. Emerenciana Rabeje last May 13, 2010. According to Ms. Rabeje, it was founded for the purpose of serving the dump truck hauling industry, primarily. To realize profit comes after. But, she added that RTCSS had brought her more than she expected in terms of profit. Aside from the target costumer--- dump trucks, RTCCS also became known even to the lightest vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles. RTCCS has been prospering for quite some time due to the hands-on management of the owner, Ms. Rabeje, herself. Henceforth, the proprietress thought of putting up another branch of RTCCS. She founded RTCCS-Rodriguez, located at Monterock St., San Isidro, Rodriguez, Rizal. But, her failure to directly manage the said branch became the reason of its failure. Thus, Ms. Rabeje made her hardest decision ever since she founded RTCCS; she dissolved RTCCS-Rodriguez after its first year of operation. She brought all the equipment to the main branch and made it more profitable there. However, RTCCS is currently into a dilemma. The realization of profit became a bit of a problem since the previous...
