Answer:

1978: With a $5 correspondence course in ice cream-making from Penn State and a $12,000 investment ($4,000 of it borrowed), Ben and Jerry open their first ice cream scoop shop in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont.

1979: Ben and Jerry celebrate the shop's one-year anniversary – and the customers who made it possible – by holding the first-ever Free Cone Day: free scoops for all, all day long. The annual ice cream give-away continues today in scoop shops around the world.

1980: Ben and Jerry rent space in an old spool and bobbin mill on South Champlain Street in Burlington and begin packing their ice cream in pints. The reason? To distribute to grocery and Mom & Pop stores along the restaurant delivery routes Ben services out of the back of his old VW Squareback wagon.

1981: As the news of Ben & Jerry's spreads, more & more people want a lick. So the first franchised scoop shop opens in Shelburne, Vermont.

Ben & Jerry's ice cream is used to build "the world's largest ice cream sundae" in St. Albans, Vermont; the sundae weighs 27,102 pounds.

1984: Ben & Jerry's sets a precedent by discovering a little-known clause about stocks and brokering, then establishing a Vermont-only public stock offering to raise money for a new manufacturing plant.

1985: The Ben & Jerry's Foundation is established with a gift from Ben and Jerry & 7.5% of the company's annual pre-tax profits to fund community-oriented projects.

1986: Ben & Jerry's launches the Cowmobile, a modified mobile home used to distribute free scoops in a unique, cross-country "marketing drive." On the return trip, the Cowmobile burns to the ground outside of Cleveland, Ohio (no one was hurt). Ben said it looked "like the world's largest Baked Alaska."

1987: Ben & Jerry's introduces Cherry Garcia® ice cream. Named for Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia at the suggestion of two "DeadHeads" from Portland, Maine, Cherry Garcia® becomes the first ice cream named for a rock legend

1988: Ben and Jerry are named “U.S. Small Business Persons of the Year” by President Reagan in a White House Rose Garden ceremony. Jerry's one suit comes in handy and, luckily, Ben finds an Italian waiter's jacket to wear.

1989: Ben & Jerry's comes out against Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), based on concern about its adverse economic impact on family farming and public confidence in the wholesomeness of dairy products.

quester [9]

Suppose the government launches a successful advertising campaign that convinces workers with high school degrees to quit their jobs and become full time college students. This would cause the labor force participation rate to decrease.

Let's imagine that the government employs a convincing advertising campaign to persuade those with high school diplomas to quit their jobs and devote their full time to attending college. As a result, the rate of labor force participation would decrease.

The labor force participation rate provides an estimate of the size of the labor force in an economy. The percentage of the working-age, non-institutionalized population, aged 16 and over, that is employed or actively seeking employment is used in the calculation. When paired with the unemployment rates, it can help put the state of the economy in some sort of context.

maria [59]

Answer: b. The company did not define its business in terms of the benefits customers seek.

Explanation:

In order for a business to make money, it needs to provide its customers with what they want not what the company wants the customers to want.

In this scenario, people switched to shampoos that could be used by people of all ages instead of just small children because this is what they wanted but not what the company provided. If the company had defined its business in terms of what their customers wanted, they would have made an all age shampoo which would have been bought.

ira [324]

Answer:

Dependency theory

Explanation:

Kara believes that by pushing poor countries to produce exports instead of food and goods for their own people, they are forced to rely on rich nations for much of what they need. She suggests that markets should be replaced with government-directed economic policies. Kara is arguing in a way that reflects <u>Dependency theory.</u>

Dependency theory: It is a theory to understand the inequality of growth of all nation. As per theory, the underdeveloped countries offer cheaper labor and raw material to the developed nation, who sell the costlier finished goods to the underdeveloped nation, which again supress the economy of under developed nation, so it continue to have vicious cycle and gap get widen between rich and poor countries.

In the given case; Kara have introduced Dependency theory as she poor countries to produce exports instead of food and goods for their own people, they are forced to rely on rich nations.
