1. The relationship between wages and productivity is complex, depending on factors like time horizon, market structure, and wage-setting mechanisms. In the short-run, standard theory suggests wages correspond to marginal productivity, but efficiency wage models reject this.
2. In the medium-run, bargained wages may differ from warranted wages due to changes in other factor prices, potentially leading to unemployment. Real and nominal wage rigidities also affect realignment of wages and productivity.
3. In the long-run, endogenous growth theory suggests moderate wage increases may not necessarily increase employment if technological change depends on capital investment influenced by wages.

What is a business and how do firms set prices. mario samuel camacho compressedMario Samuel Camacho
This report explains the relationship between the concept of business or firms and business practice.
Particularly, it focuses on how to set prices to make a business grow or how to increase business reputation through corporate social responsibility.
In this revision presentation we look at recent trends in UK trade union membership, consider how trade unions can affect both pay and employment and challenge the textbook view that union-negotiated pay increases inevitably have negative consequences for employment.
In this paper the distribution of pay changes in the Finnish industry 1997–2000 across employees and plants is examined. The study supports the hypothesis that such pay measures that are more closely dependent on contracts exhibit less variation in pay. It is also shown that pay cuts and pay rises are concentrated to certain plants and to a rather large extent to the same plants.
The paper examines the antecedents of intentions to quit, job search, and actual job switches during a five-year follow-up period. We use a representative random sample of all Finnish employees (N = 2800). The data both contain information on intentions to quit and on-the-job search from a cross-section survey and records employees’ actual job switches from longitudinal register data that can be linked to the survey. Specifically, we study the contribution of adverse working conditions (harms, hazards, uncertainty, physically and mentally heavy work), work organization (promotion prospects, discrimination, supervisor support) and ease-of-movement factors (mental health, wage level, regional unemployment). According to the estimates, adverse working conditions, poor promotions prospects, discrimination, poor supervisor support and mental health symptoms are positively related to unwillingly staying in a job, since these variables increase the probability of turnover intentions or job search but not actual job switches.
We examine the effects of establishment- and industry-level labor market turnover on employees’ well-being. The linked employer-employee panel data contain both survey information on employees’ subjective well-being and comprehensive register-based information on job and worker flows. Labor market turbulence decreases well-being as experienced job satisfaction and satisfaction with job security are negatively related to the previous year’s flows. We test for the existence of compensating wage differentials by explaining wages and job satisfaction with average uncertainties, measured by an indicator for a high moving average of past excessive turnover (churning) rate. The results are consistent with compensating wage differentials, since high uncertainty increases real wages, but has no effect on job satisfaction.

This study investigates the role of adverse working conditions in the determination of individual wages and overall job satisfaction in the Finnish labour market. The potential influence of adverse working conditions on self-reported fairness of pay at the workplace is considered as an alternative, indirect measure of job satisfaction. The results show that working conditions have a very minor role in the determination of individual wages in the Finnish labour market.

Understanding Unemployment
by Guillaume Rocheteau
ISSN 0428-1276
Modern economists have built models
of the labor market, which isolate the
market’s key drivers and describe
the way these interact to produce
particular levels of unemployment.
One of the most popular models used
by macroeconomists today is the
search-matching model of equilibrium
unemployment. We explain this model,
and show how it can be applied to
understand the way various policies,
such as unemployment benefits, taxes,
or technological changes, can affect the
unemployment rate.
Adisturbing feature of the labor mar-
ket is its seeming inability to clear. At
each instant in time, there are both
workers without jobs and jobs without
workers. How can it be that productive
resources are left unemployed in a well-
functioning market economy?
Economists attribute the failure of the
labor market to instantly allocate work-
ers to jobs to various “frictions.” These
frictions arise because labor, unlike gold
or oil, is not a homogenous commodity.
The services provided by a plumber are
different from those provided by a
lawyer—and even lawyers differ in the
services they offer; some specialize in
constitutional law, others in private law.
To match jobs and workers is far from a
trivial problem. The heterogeneity of
labor services also makes it hard for
employers to distinguish productive
from unproductive workers. And to
complicate things even more, the mere
process of moving labor services from
one job to another is not costless.
Over the past 25 years, economists have
developed a theory of the labor market
that takes into account the heterogeneity
of labor services and that describes the
matching process of workers and firms.
The theory, sometimes called the search-
matching theory of unemployment, is the
description that most economists have in
the back of their mind when thinking
about the labor market. In this Commen-
tary, we review this theory and show
how it can be applied to address several
issues related to unemployment.
■ Three Building Blocks for a
Theory of Unemployment
The search model of unemployment
contains three elements. Each element
characterizes a different aspect of the
labor market, and the three elements
together determine the behavior of the
overall labor market. The first element
describes how wages are set. The second
determines the number of vacancies that
firms decide to open, and the third
describes the process through which
unemployed workers and vacancies are
brought together, that is, the process of
creating jobs.
Setting Wages
Not all labor markets work the same, but
in many, wages are determined through a
bargaining process between workers and
their employers. The outcome of the bar-
gaining process depends on two things:
the bargaining power of each party and
the outside options of each. The party
with the most bargaining power—the
worker or the firm—is the one that can
extract a l.

1 LONG-TERM INVESTMENT DECISIONS 1
2 Assignment 3 Long-term Investment Decisions Quanise Richardson ECO 550 Dr.Bernadette West November 26, 2016
Introduction Low calorie foodstuff or a healthy choice of meal is a new idea which has picked up a more enthusiasm for these technological periods. 3 In the past projects, we had talked about the foundation and the presentation of the organization which needs to take into account this division. 4 This paper will discuss the long term capital budgeting decisions that such an organization longs to make.
3 Pricing Strategy The Company plans to keep the costs of its items as inelastic as could reasonably be expected. 5 This implies that the estimating methodology (strategy of pricing) ought to have no effect in transit the users see and purchase such items. 3 For the most part we see such demand just in circumstances in which the great or administrations are crucial and the customers can't manage without those. Be that as it may, this is not the situation for microwavable sustenance items. 6 The demand function for low calorie microwavable sustenance to a great extent relies on upon the cost of the stock, its relative (substitute) item, commercial overheads and last yet not the minimum on the pay of the buyer.
7 From the demand function and the elasticity thought of it as, is built up that the market for the low calorie microwavable foodstuff fit into a market of monopolistically aggressive sort. 3 A monopolistic focused is recognized by a sensible number of purchasers and dealers. Thus individuals can change to another brand if a particular brand charges a taking off cost. However monopolistic focused providers do item separation. Subsequently he draws the final users or consumers of the product. Now,
7 Profit (NP) =Total Revenue (TR) – Total Cost (TC) = PQ TC According to the FOC of profit maximization, we get = MR – MC = 0 so MR = MC, where P is not fixed Form the elasticity as considered in the specified assignments; we can observe that the demand for the low calorie microwavable manufactured goods is not very elastic in nature.
Now, with the purpose to maintain their products ...
Governments of nations fix minimum wage with the aim of protecting the vulnerables of societies but is surprising that in many cases, it doesn't due to other factors.
This study argues that firms can use profit sharing to raise profits by reducing the risk for inefficient separations by the workers. It is based on the idea of Hall and Lazear (1984) and clarifies their analysis of fixed wage contracts in employment relations of fixed length. It extends their analysis to continuing employment relationships in which the base wage is exogenously given but the firm can unilaterally set a profit sharing parameter. It is argued that the use of down payments, on which the analysis of Hall and Lazear is based, is not possible with continuing employment relationships. Instead the bargaining power will be reflected in the base wage. This reduces the possibilities to adjust the base wage to reduce inefficient separations and may increase the importance of profit sharing. The intuitive positive dependence of the profit sharing parameter on the covariance between the value of the worker’s outside option and his productivity in the firm does not necessarily hold.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Individual Task
Report on: Productivity and Wage
1
2. Theme: Productivity and Wages
– Introduction:
The relationship between wages and productivity (or more specifically, the
relationship between wage growth and productivity growth) has become one of
particular policy relevance in recent years, in light of the recent economic crisis and
emerging imbalances between Eurozone countries. As the ILO has observed.
The case for a coordinated wage policy is to avoid imbalances, beggar they neighbor
policies and a waste of potential growth is overwhelming: it is alarming that it has been
ignored for so long. Those who let unit labor costs rise too fast are equally responsible
for the explosion of imbalances after the abolition of the exchange rate mechanism as
those who gained market shares through wage restraint‛.
3. Chapter 1: Reviewing the relationship of wages and productivity
– what is known about the relationship between wage and productivity growth, and its impact on
employment outcomes, drawing on the economic literature (both theoretical and empirical). In doing
so, I distinguish between the short-, medium- and long-run as, while the distinctions between these
three are somewhat arbitrary, it is nevertheless the case that the predictions of economic theory and
their policy implications differ according to the time perspective being considered. I briefly focused
on some of the empirical evidence on these relationships (much of which relates to the US), and
highlight some of the methodological difficulties making empirical analysis in this area difficult
(this, in turn, sets the scene for our own exploration of cross-country data).
– In discussions of wage rates, whether for individuals, firms, or for the entire economy, we hear a lot
about the increasing productivity of the worker, and that wages must rise to reflect such increases. A
large steel company recently has negotiated a contract with its workers which says, in effect, "If your
productivity increases, your wages will keep pace." Is this the way wages are or should be
determined in an open society? Just what are the implications, if all wages were determined by this
method.

a free market, wages are determined by competitive forces of supply and demand. A manufacturer,
after very careful planning, concludes that he can make and sell so many of a particular item at a
given price. He must assemble his resources, including his plant, his equipment, his managerial
talent, and workers, and hope to recover the cost of these things from the price buyers will pay for
the finished product. So, the manufacturer goes into the labor market to hire men to work for him. If
his offered wage isn’t high enough to get the workers he needs, then he must either give up the
project or figure how to recombine his resources in such a way that he can pay higher wages and still
come out ahead. He may do this by simplifying his manufacturing processes, by introducing more or
better machinery, or by innovations of some sort. The worker, on the other hand, will look after his
interest, too, and will consider moving to a new job if it seems more attractive to him for reasons of
higher pay, better working conditions, shorter days, more vacation, or whatever. But, suppose some
manufacturer comes along with an item he can make and sell very profitably. It may be e to afford to
pay wages half again as high as the going wage in the area and still come out ahead.
5. 1.1. Short run
– Basic microeconomic theory:
Standard microeconomic theory suggests a clear relationship between productivity, wages and labor
demand, in which wages correspond to the marginal productivity of labor and can be derived from the
profit-maximizing behavior of firms. Before describing this link in more detail, it is worth emphasizing
that the fundamental theoretical assumption of a firm being a profit maximizing entity applies only to
private sector enterprises. Other market structures and the increasing relevance of public sector
employment for labor market performance in many countries are not accommodated by this kind of
microeconomic theory. Nonetheless, there are important policy implications which can be derived from
the theory. In its simplest form, the theory posits that a firm maximizes profits. These profits are equal to
the sales from its goods (sold at prices exogenously given under perfect competition) minus the costs of
its factors of production (capital and labor). The relationship between these production factors and their
output is specified in neoclassical theory by a production function. Typically, it is assumed that the firm's
capital stock is constant in the short run, such that profit maximizing behavior determines the optimal
level of production, at which a marginal worker's contribution to profit is equal to that worker’s wage.
The marginal productivity condition sets the point at which an individual firm's output expansion should
stop: if growth continues such that marginal revenues no longer exceed the costs of marginal labor input,
profitability would fall. Although the model is very simplistic, it generates some plausible conclusions
about the relationship between productivity and wages.
6. Efficiency wages
– An important development of the simple neoclassical model (albeit one that still relies on highly
stylized assumptions about individual and firm behavior) introduces the concept of ‘efficiency
wages’ (Shapiro and Stiglitz, 1984). Under most efficiency wage models, the link between wages and
productivity is no longer straightforward even in the in short-run. Efficiency wage models reject the
premise that wages are aligned to the marginal productivity of workers under perfect competition. In
contrast, these models argue that paying higher-than-market wages can be a rational choice for firms,
e.g. in order to increase the work effort of employees. This applies particularly if there are sources of
alternative income (e.g. benefits) for the unemployed, and the models assume that individual workers
maximize their utility taking account of wages, alternative incomes and efforts, all of which
contribute to determining their marginal product.
In the world set out in simple efficiency wage models, the possibility is allowed for that, at any level of
wages, more than one type of worker exists. In particular, they hypothesize.
productive workers’ whose utility is based (positively) on wages, but is also linked (negatively) to
their work effort and to the likelihood of losing their job (and becoming reliant on benefits).
Shirking workers’ who earn the same wage with less work effort, but who face a higher risk of job
loss if their employer discovers the ‘shirking’, and therefore a higher risk of reliance on
unemployment benefits, with lower utility
7. 1.2. Mediumrun
Wage rigidities.
The medium run alignment of wages and productivity depends relatively more on the interplay of bargained
wages and changes in other factor prices (in particular physical capital), than in the short run. Blanchard
(2006) introduces the concept of the "bargained wage" as opposed to the "warranted wage". Even under
standard microeconomic assumptions like perfect competition, bargained wages are aligned to anticipated
future output and could differ from the warranted wage, e.g. if prices for other factors of production increase.
In such a case, bargained wages may grow faster than the warranted wage, and employment would decline
in order to maintain zero net profits for firms under perfect competition. Blanchard (2006) proposes this as
the key process causing increased unemployment in the 1970s and 1980s, when changes in oil prices and
the reduction of the growth of total factor productivity resulted in labor productivity increases much below the
level of the 1960s. In these circumstances, bargaining outcomes exceeded the warranted wages and
unemployment increased accordingly. Of course, the 1970s increase in unemployment varied between
countries due to differing institutional circumstances, which allowed warranted and bargained wages to
realign more or less speedily, and due to the nature of wage rigidities, which can be real or nominal: Real
wage rigidities captured the speed at which workers would for example accept a slowdown in actual wages in
response to a productivity slowdown. The slower the adjustment, the higher and the longer lasting the effects
of adverse shocks on unemployment. ‘Nominal wage rigidities’ captured the speed at which nominal wages
adjusted to changes in prices. The slower the adjustment, the larger the decrease in the real wage in
response to an unanticipated increase in prices and the more the monetary authorities could use inflation to
reduce real wages and unemployment in response to an adverse supply shock
8. 1.3. Long run
The impact of wages growth on long-term productivity growth.
Standard microeconomic models assume that technological change is exogenous in the short- and
medium-run. More recently, however, endogenous growth theory rejects this assumption, on the basis that
changes in factor use resulting from factor price changes impact on technological progress. Unlike traditional
theory, endogenous growth models do not assume that marginal productivities decrease at the aggregate
level as they do at the microeconomic level of firms. In this sense, productivity growth at the level of an
economy results from investment in capital stock at firm level, but diffusion and learning effects create non-
private returns and technological progress beyond the microeconomic entity (see Romer 1990). Unlike
Solow-type growth models (Solow 1956), these models do not predict that growth in productivity results in a
steady state after some time, or that productivity growth requires external changes in technological progress.
Assuming that the nature of technological change is endogenous in this way, resulting from capital
investments (depending on wages as well as capital costs) helps explain why moderate bargaining outcomes
(even wage increases below productivity increases) may not be an effective mechanism to increase
employment. This could be the reason why even some countries with histories of very moderate wage
increases have not experienced the expected levels of employment, e.g. Japan or Germany. This is the
starting point of a model developed by Hellwig and Irmen (2001), who assume that firms' choices of
innovation investments depend on both (real) interest rates and (real) future wages.
9. 1.4. Available empirical evidence and methodological problems.
– Turning now, in more detail, to empirical evidence in the research literature on the relationship between
wages and productivity growth, much of this relates to the US. Most studies find increasing evidence that
wages have grown below productivity in the last 30 years and discuss this finding in the light of
increasing income inequality and not (as is typically found in the European debate: see Gros 2010) with
regard to relative changes in a country’s competitive position. Mishel and Shierholz (2011) describe a
widening gap between growth rates of productivity and wages (and labor compensation, including bonus
payments). Labor compensation growth was particularly low in the private sector, while the growth of
average wages was particularly weak for college educated public sector workers. Harrison (2009) reports
a similar divergence between the growth of real earnings and productivity in the US and Canada, but this
results largely from rising earnings inequality (i.e. increases in the top one per cent of the income
distribution alongside stagnant or falling income shares elsewhere). There are also, however, important
measurement issues affecting the observed decline in labor earnings, e.g. when taking account of the
depreciation of fixed assets, which has increased as a result of adoption of new technologies, and which
has tended to push the labor share downwards. Fleck, Glaser and Sprague (2011) provide further
evidence on a widening wage productivity gap, which began in the mid1970s. However, they note that
this may also result, in part, from the measures of labor productivity not having been adjusted for
compositional changes in the workforce, and from the choice of different price indices to adjust for
inflation. Lopez-Villavicencio and Silva (2010) analyze a macroeconomic panel of OECD countries
between 1985 and 2007 finding that wage increases have exceeded productivity growth for permanent
workers, while the opposite is true for temporary workers, in line with the lower bargaining power. Given
the great inter-country variation of the share of temporary workers, this may be an important reason
explaining why the existence and size of the wage-productivity gap varies between countries.
10. 1.5. Policy rules for wage-setting in the light of economictheory.
In this section we briefly consider the extent to which the policy rules for wage setting
in relation to productivity, emerging from the theoretical discussions and empirical
evidence discussed above can be seen to influence policy debate in the real world. To
this end we highlight some relevant examples of such debate.
– Facilitating wage moderation as an employment policy through institutional
reforms: The German case.
In most of its annual reports, the German Council of Economic Experts (CEE) has
emphasized the importance of wage moderation, i.e. that wages should grow below
productivity increases in order to increase employment levels. In implementing this
concept for policy purposes, as noted above, changes in price levels as well as changes
in productivity have to be modelled appropriately. This is difficult in practice, because
of two important problems:
11. Continuation subsection; 1.5
– First, some changes in price levels cannot be compensated for, either because
they are driven by taxation (and therefore not neutral in distributional terms),
or because exporting firms cannot achieve higher price levels on international
markets. In addition, wage-setting decisions in the real world are made under
uncertainty because they have to respond to anticipated rather than observed
price changes.
– Second, observed changes in marginal productivity have to be interpreted in the
light of compositional changes to the workforce: lower productivity jobs
disappear, higher productivity jobs remain, but the effective productivity at the
workplace remains unchanged.
12. 2. Overarching Factors Affecting the Decision to Go
International.
– Primary Motives.
For most private-sector businesses profitability is of crucial importance. The opportunity to make profit by
selling its products in a foreign market may therefore be attractive, especially if expansion in the home market
is difficult because of slow market growth, market saturation, or regulatory obstacles. In some cases, significant
business growth may only be possible through international expansion. International exposure also enables a
company to achieve an international reputation, which may be important if it is to be regarded as an industry
leader. Profitability also depends on competitiveness, so international expansion may be a way of reducing
costs in a competitive international market. Access to international markets allows increased scale of
production, leading to lower unit costs. Economies of scale are particularly important for a company like Nestlé
whose home market in Switzerland is relatively small. Scale economies apply not only at the level of the
production plant, but more especially at the level of the organization as a whole. Access to international
production allows international procurement of components and supplies, international relocation of
production operations or outsourcing of business functions that can be undertaken at lower cost abroad
(known as ‘offshoring’); these include not only call-center operations, for example, but also many labor-
intensive data-input tasks which are increasingly being outsourced to companies employing low-cost but highly
skilled IT workers in countries like India.
13. Continuation subsection; 2
The Changing International Environment.
In broad terms, the main nations involved in international business activity have experienced an
unprecedented period of peace and stable international relations since 1945. From time to time conflict
in particular countries have disrupted trade flows, notably in commodities like oil during periods of
turbulence in the Middle East, but the United States, Western Europe, and Japan, which have until
recently been the major trading nations, have enjoyed generally cordial relations with each other. This
has helped enormously to increase the volume of world trade and investment, clearly having a positive
influence on internationalization decisions. The historic opening up of China and Eastern Europe since
1978 and 1989 respectively has also increased the opportunities for international trade and investment.
The increase in international business activity has contributed to significant growth in the world
economy over the post-war period. This growth has also been sustained by a general reduction in trade
barriers between countries, thanks to the work of GATT and the WTO and the gradual liberalization of
national trade and investment policies. The increased rate of growth in international business activity
would not of course have been possible without significant developments in production and
information technology and commensurate improvements in the quality of human capital.
