...The response to demand of computer and potato chips The supply’s response to demand is always a direct response. Suppliers of any commodity respond to a rise in demand by increasing their supply levels to meet the demand. The direct response stops at the point of equilibrium. The response to demand of potato and computer chips may differ both in the short run and long-run. The potato chips response will be faster in supply increase because the time needed in adjusting its production is shorter compared to the computer chips. On other hand, computer chips response in supply increase will be slower because adjustments to production require more time in cost adjustments. However, the response of both products to a rise in demand will be limited to changes in variable costs. Though as time goes by all costs can be adjusted to increase supply for both goods. Therefore, its’ conclusive to say potato chips response is quicker in the short term because its production cost variables take less time to change compared to computer chips. According to Andreu, Michael and Jerry (1995 in order to increase production in the short run each manufacturer has only one option, which is to change the variable costs that are easily adjustable. In the long run supply response will reach an equilibrium point with no shift for the potatoes because they are regularly consumed.

...The Vigilance Project I. Rationale/Background PharMed International PharMed International is one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. It was established two years ago when ValMed and PharmCO merged. PharMed is obligated to keep detailed records of how its drugs perform by relying on sophisticated database such as the Vigilance which will be used by division employees around the globe. The core team responsible for designing and implementing Vigilance has three members in the United States: Frank Lanigan, Carol Reynolds, and Mike Powell; and four members based in France:Didier Amrani, Karine Bareaut, Merline Bucquet and Fabrice Lemaire. In addition to the core team, five subteams were formed. Overall, half of the subteams’ members are located in the United States and half are based in France. Most of the U.S. core and subteam members were previously employees of ValMed. Before the merger, several of them, including all of those on the core team, played key roles in efforts to develop a similar system called Perspective. Several months later, the newly merged organization decided to scrap Perspective in favor of Vigilance. The Perspective team members were disappointed, but understood the rationale for the change in direction. The Vigilance core teams were introduced to each other virtually and had been working with each other via teleconferences. These teleconferences were frequently cancelled by Didier Amrani, the project manager, without...
