Answer:

The correct is a. Lowering prices and features of existing products to meet emerging market needs

Explanation:

There is much enthusiasm among those who write about how to innovate, and among those who work in R & D & I environments, advocating that the bottom-up activity is the best for good results. Senior executives are not close enough to the action to be able to apply new ideas, so they need to push the responsibility for innovation down in the organization. However, there are few cases in which dramatic changes have arisen through bottom-up initiatives.

The bottom-up innovation will benefit the efforts of the high levels of employee engagement, the top-down innovation will benefit the efforts of direct alignment with the company's objectives. Smart companies use both approaches and are experts in helping innovation projects from the bottom up to get the sponsorship they need to survive.

Other things the same, which bond would you expect to pay the lowest interest rate?
Elis [28]

Answer:

d) a bond issued by the U.S. government

Explanation:

A bond issued by the US government will be expected to pay the lowest interest rate because the default risk is almost 0 with the US government which means that it is a risk free investment for the lender. The investor will be willing to lend money to US government at the lowest interest rate out of all the options because it is the safest investment therefore the investor's required rate of return is the lowest for US government.
