Answer:

The reasons for re-building Greensburg as a "green town" are:

  1. It is a decision that is good for the future environmentally. It is going to help reduce waste and protect the environment. See paragraph 3
  2. It is a sign of progress. Progress is natural. The tornado had torn down the town making it look like a post-war zone. It's an opportunity to recreate the town making it into the best possible town it could be. See paragraph 6
  3. It would make for new schools, new hospitals, new museums. All of these would help create a new and more efficient system/town. See paragraph 3 and 6.

The reasons against rebuilding Greensburg as a "green town" are:

  1. Not everyone in Greensburg bought into the idea. It seemed to be the idea of a select few. A good idea that was not well thought out. See paragraph 7. The process of agreeing to build or not to build was not democratic.
  2. The town didn't have the money for such kind of project at that time. It had just been torn down. To embark on such a project would require enormours injection of funds. That meant that the people of Greensburg who were just recovering from the tornado would be subjected to heavy taxes for a long time to be able to cover the cost of green buildings/ projects which were relatievly expensive. See paragraph 8.
  3. It was proper to reinstate businesses first. These were the major contributors to the towns' economy. The more businesses Greensburg has, the more tax revenue it can earn. The more it earns, the more "green" projects it can take on.

Cheers!

butalik [34]

Answer:

trim ratio = 1.15  and bearish

Explanation:

given data

stock = 1,455

decline = 1,553

volume in advancing issues = 852581

volume in declining issues = 1,058312

solution

we get here the trim ration is express here as

trim ratio = (stock ÷ decline)  ÷ ( advancing issues ÷ declining issues )   ...............................1

put here value and we get trim ratio

trim ratio =  \frac{\frac{1455}{1553} }{\frac{852581}{1058312} }    

solve it we get '

trim ratio = 1.15

and here we see trim is greater than 1 so

it is  bearish

Firms that can employ and establish _________________, are more likely to protect their competitive advantage from being copied
pishuonlain [190]

Firms that can employ and establish <u>isolating mechanisms</u> are more likely to protect their competitive advantage from being copied and/or eroding away.

Isolation mechanisms:

A company is able to maintain its competitive edge for a longer period of time if it can stop a rival from copying the resource or capability that provides it that advantage. Isolation mechanisms is the name of this technique. For instance, a patent is a legitimate tool to stop imitation.

A firm's objective is to have a prolonged competitive advantage when a resource or capability gives the firm an advantage over competitors for an extended period of time. The industry will determine how long a company can preserve a competitive advantage.

If a business can maintain a competitive edge for a year in a fast-moving field like information technology or quick fashion, it may be quite happy. In an industry with less frequent changes, such as feminine hygiene, a persistent competitive advantage may remain considerably longer.

A sustainable competitive edge cannot be maintained by any company indefinitely. The competition is constantly working to improve its own competitive edge.
