Explanation:
The long-running debate between the ‘rational design’ and ‘emergent process’ schools of strategy formation has involved caricatures of firms' strategic planning processes, but little empirical evidence of whether and how companies plan. Despite the presumption that environmental turbulence renders conventional strategic planning all but impossible, the evidence from the corporate sector suggests that reports of the demise of strategic planning are greatly exaggerated. The goal of this paper is to fill this empirical gap by describing the characteristics of the strategic planning systems of multinational, multibusiness companies faced with volatile, unpredictable business environments. In-depth case studies of the planning systems of eight of the world's largest oil companies identified fundamental changes in the nature and role of strategic planning since the end of the 1970s. The findings point to a possible reconciliation of ‘design’ and ‘process’ approaches to strategy formulation. The study pointed to a process of planned emergence in which strategic planning systems provided a mechanism for coordinating decentralized strategy formulation within a structure of demanding performance targets and clear corporate guidelines. The study shows that these planning systems fostered adaptation and responsiveness, but showed limited innovation and analytical sophistication
Answer:
The answer is: the real gain in real GDP between 2010 and 2000 is 18.34%
Explanation:
First we have to determine the real GDP using the GDP deflator.
GDP deflator = (nominal GDP / real GDP) x 100
For year 2000:
24 = ($672 billion / real GDP ) x 100
2,400 = $672 billion / real GDP
real GDP = $0.28 billion
For year 2010:
51 = ($1,690 billion / real GDP ) x 100
5,100 = $1,690 billion / real GDP
real GDP = $0.331 billion
To calculate the real gain between real GDP from year 2000 to year 2010, we divide real GDP 2010 over real GDP 2000 and subtract 1:
($0.331 billion / $0.28 billion) -1 = 0.1834 x 100% = 18.34%
Answer:
The correct answer is regarding the model, is that an individual firms prices are flexible but the level of the price is fixed.
Explanation:
The aggregate expenditure model is the model in which the sum or total of all the expenditures are undertaken in the economy with the factors during the particular time period.
The equation is:
AE = C (Consumption) + I (Investment) + G (Government) + NX (Net Exports)
In this model, it is assumed that the prices of the individual firm are flexible whereas the price level is fixed.
Answer:
20,000 shares
Explanation:
The computation of given question is shown below:-
Dilutive number of shares:-
Proceeds from the options issue = 50,000 × $15
= $750,000
Shares issued = 50,000
Treasury shares purchased from proceeds of the options
= ($750,000 ÷ $25)
= 30,000
Dilutive number of shares outstanding = Shares issued - Shares purchased back
50,000 - 30,000
= 20,000 shares
I am not entirely sure what a performance test is, but I can help with the others. A polygraph is a machine, used usually if you are in legal trouble, to see if you are lying. While results aren't 100% accurate, you typically can get a gage for if someone committed a crime. They are also rarely used for interviews, some companies want to see if people are lying on their resumes. Drug tests are tests that are given to most people with a job, and especially sports players. Companies especially like to test people for drugs, to see if they might be on an illegal drug that could cause them to work less efficiently. It also is a liability issue for the company if an employee is on an illegal drug. Drug tests are typically done at a lab, and you usually have to pee in a cup and have it get tested.
