Examples from Ontario, Switzerland, and Finland are outlined which showed little impact on employment from guarantee income programs. Concerns mentioned include the high cost of such programs and potential impacts on motivation. The liberal government under Trudeau is criticized for pursuing more social welfare programs rather than policies to improve competitiveness.
- The document discusses Florida's economy and job market following the 2008-2009 recession. It describes how Florida went from an employment growth leader to having high unemployment due to cyclical factors like the housing crisis and global recession.
- Short term recommendations to accelerate job creation included suspending increases to unemployment taxes, promoting Florida's business climate, and providing tax relief to consumers and small businesses.
- Longer term recommendations focused on diversifying Florida's economy and investing in talent creation, innovation, and infrastructure to foster high-skill, high-wage jobs. Developing new non-tax revenue sources was also suggested.
Guarantee Income| Canada| Analysis and Commentary| February 2019paul young cpa, cga
Social welfare is key area for people, especially when they are in between jobs. The problem is too many governments want to use tax dollars to provide guarantee income to able-body people.
The emphasis on welfare should be given more money to people that need it more in terms their social-economic background
The document summarizes concerns about the economic policies of the New Democratic Party (NDP) and their support for the Leap Manifesto. It argues that the NDP's policies of increasing taxes, pursuing protectionism, and moving to a carbon-free economy would negatively impact the Canadian economy. It notes that past NDP governments have left large deficits and that the economic conditions of the 1950s and 1960s that the NDP supports are no longer relevant.
How state budgets are breaking US schools - Bill GatesAlicia Garcia
Bill Gates argues that state budgets are disguising the true costs of healthcare and pensions through accounting tricks, resulting in worsening deficits that negatively impact education funding. He says states like California are borrowing money and deferring school payments, leading to budget shortfalls. Gates asserts that without solving the mis-accounting of long-term costs like healthcare, pension plans will be threatened. He suggests improving accounting standards to prevent cutting education spending in half and address state budget issues.

This document discusses different forms of business ownership. It covers sole proprietorships, which are individually owned with little regulation but great risk. Partnerships are owned by two or more people who cooperate in managing and investing to share risks and rewards. Corporations are separate legal entities owned by shareholders and managed by a board, providing limited liability for investors but being more difficult to form and regulated. The document also mentions changing employment trends and the economic role of businesses in the US.
The document discusses President Obama's $447 billion jobs plan called the "American Jobs Act" which aims to stimulate the economy and create jobs through tax breaks, infrastructure spending, and aid to state and local governments. It also discusses the debate around reducing the federal budget deficit and national debt. While the deficit and debt have increased, the unemployment rate remains high, representing a serious jobs crisis. Some argue the focus should be on stimulating the economy and reducing unemployment rather than deficit reduction in the short term.
The document discusses the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's views on the state of the U.S. economy and policy priorities. It predicts moderate economic growth in 2013 but notes ongoing economic uncertainties. It advocates reducing deficits through entitlement reform, comprehensive tax reform including corporate tax cuts, and increased domestic energy production. The document also outlines "fiscal cliffs", the sequester cuts, and key dates in 2013 budget debates.
The document discusses the current economic recovery in the United States, noting that while there has been slow improvement, the country has yet to reach "escape velocity" due to ongoing corrections from the recession and new challenges. It warns of the looming fiscal cliff and forecasts only moderate growth. However, it argues that many of the policies implemented to address the recession did help the situation. It concludes by calling for avoiding the fiscal cliff, taking an honest look at future economic and social challenges, preserving necessary government programs, restoring the spirit of compromise, and focusing on fairness and common sense.
The document discusses various political factors that influence international business, including political systems, ideologies, and government structures. It notes that firms must understand how local political environments differ and adjust accordingly. When operating abroad, companies should not assume they can directly transfer their practices and instead must accept different political and legal systems in other countries. The document also provides examples of various political systems like individualism vs. collectivism, democratic vs. totalitarian systems, and discusses considerations for doing business in countries like China which has a more bureaucratic rather than legal-based system.
The document provides a summary of global wage trends based on data from the United Nations and International Labour Organisation. Some key points include:
- Global wage growth decelerated in 2013 compared to 2012 and has yet to rebound to pre-crisis rates.
- Wage growth has been driven mostly by emerging and developing economies, with China alone accounting for almost half of global wage growth.
- Growth in wages in developed economies has remained flat.
- Between 1999-2013, labor productivity growth in developed economies outstripped real wage growth and labor's share of national income.
- Average wages in emerging economies are slowly converging towards those in developed economies.
International business refers to firms operating in multiple countries, known as multinational corporations (MNCs). MNCs have subsidiaries in each country they operate in and must manage legal and cultural differences between countries. Increased international business and globalization have led to rising world trade. World trade benefits countries by increasing aggregate demand and economic growth, raising living standards through jobs and technology from foreign direct investment. Economies are also now closely aligned through shared international business cycles, so economic shocks can spread between countries.
This document discusses guarantee income and welfare programs in Canada. It provides background on Paul Young and his expertise. It defines guarantee income and describes Ontario's plans for a pilot program. It also discusses supply chain flows, average wages in Canada, energy costs, housing prices, and inflation. Charts show welfare payment amounts compared to other incomes. The document expresses concerns that guarantee income programs may discourage work and require large tax increases or spending cuts to fund.
The document discusses various political factors that impact international business, including political systems, ideologies, and government approaches. It notes that firms looking to operate abroad must understand and adapt to different political environments rather than assuming direct transfer of their domestic practices. Specifically, it examines concepts like individualism vs. collectivism, democratic vs. totalitarian systems, and provides examples of political situations in countries like China, the UK, and Afghanistan that international businesses must consider.
This document presents four ethical dilemma cases involving business strategy decisions:
1. A mining company faces whether to shut down, upgrade, or continue operations, weighing risks to local communities, the government, and the company.
2. A supervisor must decide whether to fabricate performance data or present true results, balancing transparency with perceived underperformance.
3. A company faces an electricians' union demanding a bribe for project approval, with options to bribe, secure approval through legal means, or file a complaint.
4. During a medical emergency, a doctor must decide who to save among a tribe leader, German tourist, and two children, balancing responsibilities to different stakeholders.
The document discusses major trends affecting Canadian business, including technological changes and globalization. It notes that global trade and integration is now more advanced than in previous eras, and that Canada relies heavily on trade with the US but British Columbia trades more with Asia. It also summarizes that businesses are cutting costs through restructuring, employee empowerment and quality focus. Small businesses are dynamic and growing, especially home-based businesses. The service sector is a major source of jobs and the manufacturing sector remains important. Other trends include an aging population, environmental issues, and increasing education levels. Stakeholders' interests and the legal, economic, technological, competitive, social and global environments influence businesses.
The Most Challenging economy in Decades Qamar Farooq
This chapter discusses macroeconomic concepts and the factors that influence the stability of an economy. It begins by defining microeconomics as the study of small economic units like individuals and businesses, while macroeconomics examines a nation's overall economy. It then explains the four types of market structures and compares the main economic systems of capitalism, socialism, and mixed economies. The chapter concludes by analyzing how monetary and fiscal policy can be used to manage economic performance and the major global economic challenges faced in the 21st century.
The economic outlook summary is as follows:
1) The US economy has slowed significantly with weak GDP growth and persistently high unemployment.
2) Even the slow recovery is threatened by the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis which could trigger a global recession.
3) Domestic consumption, a major driver of GDP, remains subdued due to high unemployment, income inequality, and households focusing on debt reduction over spending.
Harper's fiscal record is criticized in the article. The author argues that Harper relied too heavily on spending cuts rather than tax increases to balance the budget, disproportionately impacting lower-income Canadians. However, others point out that Harper implemented tax cuts and savings programs that benefited middle- and lower-income Canadians. There are reasonable debates around different governments' economic and taxation policies, and it is important to consider multiple perspectives when evaluating these complex issues.
The document discusses Reaganomics and its impact on the American economy in the 1980s. It describes Reagan's policies of cutting taxes, reducing regulations on businesses, maintaining high interest rates to fight inflation, and attempting to balance the federal budget through spending cuts. While the economy experienced strong growth and low inflation in the 1980s, Reagan was unable to significantly reduce spending or balance the budget due to increasing defense costs. The tax cuts and reduced regulations benefited some industries but increased the federal deficit.

The United States has the largest economy in the world, though it saw slowed growth after events like 9/11 and the recession in 2009. However, the economy has since strengthened due to increased business and consumer spending and lower unemployment. Politically, the U.S. has the oldest democracy with a federal system and three branches of government. It also has a progressive tax system and strong labor laws. Socio-culturally, an aging population and illegal immigration are concerns, though education and healthcare are highly developed. Technologically, the U.S. leads in research and development spending and innovation.

The document summarizes key points from a report on declining economic freedom in the United States. It finds that the U.S. has fallen out of the top 10 in economic freedom rankings due to rising government spending and debt, increased regulations, and a growing perception of cronyism. Specifically, it notes increases in government spending, high corporate tax rates, excessive regulations, a complex tax code, and experimental monetary policy as areas negatively impacting the U.S. economic freedom score. The report argues that restoring economic freedom through reduced government intervention and spending is needed to boost economic growth and opportunity.

It notes that the top 1% now receive over 20% of income, versus 10% pre-1980, and own 42% of wealth compared to 24% in the mid-1970s. Conservative policies such as tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the wealthy 1% and weakening of unions have shifted more of the economic gains to the top earners over the past several decades. The rise of conservative media has also encouraged working-class voters to support policies that are not in their own economic interests.
This document provides a summary of the history of the United Fruit Company (UFCo) in Guatemala between 1870-1954. It discusses how UFCo gained control over the banana trade and became the single largest landowner in Guatemala through partnerships and acquisitions. In 1951, Guatemala passed an agrarian reform law threatening UFCo's control. In response, UFCo lobbied the US government, which staged a coup to overthrow the Guatemalan government and reinstate policies favoring UFCo. The coup destabilized Guatemala's economy and led to decades of civil war.

2. Does business still need government in an era of globalisatio.docxeugeniadean34240
2. Does business still need government in an era of globalisation?
Globalisation has forever changed the way in which businesses deal with their suppliers, employees, customers and governments. Globalisation refers to the process of increasing integration and interdependence among economies, societies and cultures on a global level (Bova 2010, p212). Debate has, and will continue to centre within both the business and politics fields about the extent to which business needs regulating by governments in order to achieve economic prosperity for the firm and society as a whole. This debate has further intensified as globalisation has created further question marks within government-business relations as economies become increasingly interdependent, competitive and inclusive (Eccleston 2010, p73). This essay will argue that governments need to relinquish aspects of their control and influence over business in order to fully capitalise on the positive effects of globalisation, however there is still a modest role for governments regulation on business.
To verify this thesis effectively, this essay will analyse the reasons why government interference on business can be harmful whilst also presenting facts that support some government regulations. Arguments opposing government interference on business include the devastating impacts of government laid trade barriers on economies. In addition, government regulations are fast becoming irrelevant given the growth of globalisation and multinational corporations (MNC’s). Finally, the benefits of limited government regulation through capitalism and trade liberalisation are evident using examples of recently decentralised economies such as China. The requirements for government regulation in the era of globalisation to be maintained however include the needs for government-imposed laws to restrict unsafe work practices and imports, and ensure firms take responsibility for the environmental implications of their activities. Additionally the need for government regulation in the economy in the era of globalisation is unquestionable following the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
Governments must abandon many regulations and controls on business in order to achieve heightened economic prosperity in the era of globalisation. Supporters of this argument and a laissez faire economy come from the right of the political spectrum; such as conservatives, neo-liberalists, individualists, fascists and theorists like Friedman, Reagan and Thatcher (Allen 2010). Laissez faire is the term given to an economy that is driven by free market forces, free from any significant government intervention (Heywood 2007, p189). The first testimony for reduced government influence over business in the era of globalisation is the negative effects almost all government backed trade barriers have had on domestic consumers, firms and trading partners. This situation has been evident for a number of years within Australia, where t.

This document discusses institutions and economic development. It summarizes the evolution of thinking around institutions and development, from the Washington Consensus era to the rise of New Institutional Economics and its limitations. More recent frameworks like Acemoglu and Robinson's theory of inclusive vs extractive institutions and North, Wallis, and Weingast's theory of open vs limited access orders are described. The document argues that informal institutions like "deals" between elites and economic actors better explain economic growth and stagnation in most developing countries compared to formal institutional indicators. Shifts between different "deals environments" like disordered to ordered can trigger growth accelerations, while maintaining openness is key for sustained growth, but difficult due to elite resistance.

The document summarizes key aspects of the Obama era for the United States across multiple areas:
- Obama faced significant economic challenges when taking office during a recession and implemented the TARP program and Keynesian economic policies to stimulate the economy.
- Job growth occurred but was slower than under previous presidents. Unemployment remained high for many years after the recession.
- GDP growth did not reach 3% in any single year under Obama, which had not happened previously.
- The housing sector recovered slowly from the crisis and recession. Income inequality and numbers in poverty increased over Obama's terms.
- Obama focused on environmental issues and clean energy but domestic oil and gas production also increased significantly during his
This presentation describes the role of governments in entrepreneurship. Some good examples are China Taipei, Red China, Malaysia, Singapore and USA. Governments are traditionally seen as very poor in business management. (I think it still is.) But Taipei and Singapore did very well in its role. To a large extent, Red China and its Central Bank are making direct investments not only in currencies, bonds and financial instruments but directly in commodities and businesses. And we should admire the Chinese officials for their courage and risk taking.

Major highway projects now involve international collaboration between public and private sectors, requiring highway managers to have multidisciplinary expertise in areas like strategic planning, design, management, engineering, and stakeholder engagement. The Commonwealth Infrastructure Partners organization has over 30 years of experience in highways and bridges projects across many necessary areas of expertise, and can provide training to help develop these skills in the sector.

We draw on examples of successful urban renewal and development and integrate international examples with local requirements
Fresh water supply has become the most critical global resource in the 21st century due to population growth, increased demand from industry and agriculture, and climate change exacerbating water shortages. Climate change is leading to more extreme weather patterns including increased droughts and floods, making water supply unpredictable and impacting food production and human habitation. Innovative solutions are needed for water conservation, harvesting, recycling, desalination, and improved management frameworks to address these challenges. New technologies like installing solar panels over canals can generate renewable energy while reducing evaporation and conserving water supplies.
CIP integrated approach to sustainable developmentgeoffrey-cip
CIP uses its expertise in infrastructure sectors and capacity building to assist governments and the private sector in implementing a sustainable development strategy
A truly smart city requires comprehensive urban planning that looks ahead to future trends and growth. The planning must integrate environmentally sustainable infrastructure, optimized transportation, access to education, and nature with urban living. It should minimize the need for travel and pollution. Chandigarh, India is an example of a well-planned city from the 1950s that remains pleasant today with low traffic and a high quality of life. A smart city also depends on having an intelligent population supported by good quality education from primary to higher levels. Commonwealth Infrastructure Partners advocates for capacity building across sectors to develop the advanced skills needed to continually plan, build, and operate smarter cities.

A team manager or leader must have good interpersonal skills
A team manager must develop good interpersonal skills over and above his or her technical skills
Companies often fail to maximise their performance because
• Managers do not fully understand the technical elements of their operations
• The technical specialists do not fully understand the managerial requirements
• Managers do not keep up to date with technological advances in their sector
• Technical specialists do not keep pace with evolving management practice
Commonwealth Infrastructure Partners (CIP) provides customized capacity building and skills development programs to help organizations in Commonwealth countries solve infrastructure challenges. CIP works closely with clients to design practical programs delivered by sector experts that integrate management and technical skills. The goal is to create long-term solutions by developing locally sustainable organizational cultures and empowering professionals to be agents of change.
L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
