In the U.S. political arena, ______________________ may tend to emphasize the virtues of markets and the limitations of governme
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": conservatives; liberals.

Explanation:

Two main approaches define how societies could achieve economic and political prosperity. Conservatives are in favor of little government intervention since individuals must be empowered to take responsibility for their own wellness. They are in favor of <em>market economies</em> -<em>price driven by supply and demand. </em>

Liberals, on the other hand, propose the government must intervene to ensure individuals have equal opportunities. Liberals prefer<em> mixed economies </em>which are mixtures of market economies and command economies -<em>the government is the central planner.</em>

_____ typically includes information on the customers served, why the company exists, what the company does, the value received
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Mission.

Explanation:

Considering the stakeholders' perspectives is a significant step or approach to be adopted by business firms when developing a mission statement. It requires that you think about who is affected by your organization and how they might measure your success.

Generally, when the top executives or management are developing a mission statement, decisions, and goals, it is very essential and important that they ensure it is favourable to the stakeholders. Stakeholders can be defined as a group of people who have interest or shares in a business entity and are affected by the decisions of the company.

Hence, the stakeholders perspective needs to be considered at all times because they're part of the business and their actions can affect the success of the business.

Mission typically includes information on the customers served, why the company exists, what the company does, the value received by the customers, and the technology used.

You can spend money on things you need first instead of the things you want. Most people spend their pay on things that they want rather than getting something they need this leads to financial problems. Another way is to put at least $20 in the bank every paycheck. This way if something bad happens and you need to pay for it then you have the extra money in your bank. Daily spending can be a bad thing because you are constantly spending and never saving money, and life is full of surprises so you need to save money as well for preparation. 

Hope this helped. Have a great day!
