Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

Several factors can contribute to long-term organizational success. One is the establishment of a core ideology that Collins and Porras (2002) describe as "core values and sense of purpose beyond just making money" (p. 48). Also, the importance of a visionary leader that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time is hard to over emphasize.

Explanation:
End of period adjustments are made to accounts in order to bring them in line with the accrual concept and matching principle of accounting. These principles require that expenses and revenues for the period are matched in order to determine the appropriate profit generated for the period. The implication is that transactions are recorded when they are incurred and not when cash is exchanged. For example, if rent expense is incurred for the year and payment is made in the following year, the expense must be recognized in the current year. The same applies to revenue.

Explanation: Price elasticity is the measure of the rate of change in the level of quantity demanded due to a change in the level of price.
Price elasticity is usually negative, this means that it follows the law of demand; as price increases quantity demanded decreases.
Also, another incidence that can affect price elasticity is an availability of cheaper alternatives. If cheaper alternatives of a particular product are introduced into the market, the demand for that product will reduce, because consumers will abandon it for its cheaper alternatives, thereby driving the elasticity of that product higher.
Therefore, in the scenario given above, the elasticity is higher than -1.2 because there are new brands that have just been introduced into the market.
