The reason is <span>Marketing research is expensive.
</span>The established firm usually has a large amount of capital at its disposal, so they could do market research in order to strengthen their position.
Small business on the other hand, usually struggle to even barely continuing their operation for the next month.

A small business has fewer resources than a large established firm. Therefore, with fewer resources, they cannot cover as many categories of research as a larger firm can. Smaller firms therefore tend to have a specialty or an area of focus.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

The points on the production possibility curve show the efficient utilization of resources. The points below the curve show attainable but inefficient bundles. This is because the points below the curve imply that resources are not fully utilized and there are still some excessive resources left.

The points above the curve show those bundles that are unattainable. This is because these bundles need more resources to be achieved.
