feedback. Encourage more enthusiasm when it comes to customer relationships. Make excellent customer service our number one goal for performance.

The excess products can be tracked to one digits numbers. In return, we may be able to lower prices

1. Introduction Fresh water supply plays an essential factor in a country, such as development of agriculture, industry and tourism (Khalil, 2001:57). Nevertheless, potable water only constitutes nearly 3% in the world water sources. It means that approximately a quarter of world’s population cannot access a sufficient high quality water including Egypt (Karagiannis and Soldatos, 2008: 448). Egypt suffers from water scarcity due to United Nations (2012) states that water scarcity means less than

are two-fold. First, e-business technologies are the latest in a line of new ICT technologies. When exploited successfully, ICTs have increased firm competitiveness either by raising the efficiency of internal communication and organisation and/or supply chain relationships, or by facilitating the development of new/improved products and services. Second, it is hypothesised that many of the factors affecting the successful adoption of new technologies are generic in nature. With regards to SMEs

Income elasticity of demand measures the relationship between a change in quantity demanded for good X and a change in real income. The formula for calculating income elasticity is: % change in demand divided by the % change in income Normal Goods Normal goods have a positive income elasticity of demand so as consumers’ income rises more is demanded at each price i.e. there is an outward shift of the demand curve Normal necessities have an income elasticity of demand of between 0 and +1 for

NORTH-WEST CORNER METHOD A PROJECT REPORT ABSTRACT We aim to write a C program to solve a transportation problem using North-West Corner Method. A typical transportation problem deals with sources where a supply of some commodity is available and destinations where the commodity is demanded. The objective to solve the transportation problem is to minimize the cost of shipping m units to n destinations or maximize the profit of shipping m units to n destinations. The North West Corner rule

Each one is important for each survival and maintaining the balance for continuance is a must. The increase in supply or overproduction of coffee beans creates an excess supply causes equilibrium price to fall, thus a need to sell the products below production cost, which means no business to the coffee farmers. Figure 1: Short-Run Analysis (Increase in Supply) An increase in supply causes equilibrium price to fall and equilibrium quantity to rise. Consumers, on the other hand may not experience

You will use data from a demand survey to construct demand curves for each firm's data plan. Using demand curves and cost information, you will find each firm's reaction function. A reaction function specifies a firm's profit maximizing price as a function of their competitor's price. You will then solve these equations simultaneously to identify the unique Bertrand-Nash equilibrium in the pricing game. These are the mutual best response prices that the players should charge to maximize profits.
