Jones Telerate, for example, competes with Reuters in offering real-time
financial information around the world.
We believe, however, that Dow Jones is a unique company in a number of important
respects. Our businesses are balanced roughly 50-50 between print and electronic

Business And Ethics
... chip at Company X. When both the
employee and company are found at fault, the question arises of how extensive
should the repercussions be? Is the company as a whole liable or do you look
into individual employees within that company? From an ethical perspective one
would have to look at the available information of both the employees and their
superiors along with the role of others in the situation. Next you would have
to analyze the final outcome from a corporate perspective and then examine the
corporate responsibility as a whole in order to find a resolution for cases such
as this.

Motivation In The Workplace And Employees
... employees
to take more pride in their product that they made as a team.
Responsibility of setting performance standards for employees were made by
the employees themselves with a little coaching when needed by top
management. There was a profit sharing system set up where the employees
would receive a fixed percentage of profits every six months. Money is one
of the quickest motivator in my opinion.
Teams were formed to carry out specific functions. These teams
replaced certain level managers. There seemed to be too many management
levels in Johnsonville for such a small company. By giving more

The Effects Of Post-industrialism On The Political Economy Of Western Europe
... manufacturing workers
who populated the assembly lines.
In recent years, the liberalization of international trade has clearly
demonstrated that European industry can no longer compete in traditional, large-
scale industrial sectors. European successes have increasingly come from
specialized, high value-added industry and from intelligent, flexible companies
able to shift production quickly to capitalize on movements in world demand.
The net result of these changes has been a transition to a post-industrial
society, where the stable economic order of mass employment in large-scale
industry has given way to mas ...

The Particular Features Of The Employment System In Japan
... are thought of as transitory workers who
will leave the workforce when they get married. Female and temporary workers are
a safety valve for Japanese companies that allow them to reduce costs in the
short-term without firing permanent male workers. The second way Japanese
companies reduce costs is by giving early retirement to senior workers at the
company. Many of these workers forced into early retirement then take up farming

most effective tools companies have of reducing costs because these workers have
more seniority and thus m ...

Act Utilitarianism would not provide sufficient normative direction for our dilemma. This suggests that an act is said to be right if it is as good as any available alternative, because without performing the calculus either action is equally good. In this case, this implies similar consequences would result regardless of ...
