Elasticity refers to how responsive consumer demand is to changes in price. Demand is more elastic when consumers have good substitutes and the good is a small part of their budget, meaning they will buy less if prices increase. Demand is more inelastic when there are few substitutes and it is a necessity, so consumers will continue to buy it even if prices rise. Examples of elastic goods include bicycles and vacations, while inelastic goods include insulin, baby formula, and gasoline. Firms must understand elasticity to determine how price changes will impact revenue and profits.

TECHNIQUES TO KEEP MEN AND WOMEN YOUNG, SEXY AND HAPPY FOR PEACE AND PROSPERI...Dr. Raju M. Mathew
This document discusses techniques for keeping men and women young, sexy, and happy. It argues that true happiness comes from self-realization and integration, not from religion, leaders, or medicine. Realization involves understanding oneself, nature, humanity, and achieving integration across five levels - the body/mind/soul, with nature, other individuals, and humanity as a whole. When these integrations are achieved, one can absorb cosmic energy and attain bliss. Primitive tribal gods and religions based on fear cannot provide happiness. A civilized view of God is of a loving, forgiving being. The document encourages moving from primitive tribal practices to a universal, humanistic spirituality.

The document discusses optimizing IT operations organizations for cloud computing. It describes how traditional IT operations models need to change to become more service-driven to take advantage of cloud capabilities. Specifically, it recommends establishing two new organizational structures: 1) a Cloud Infrastructure Operations Center of Excellence to consolidate cloud infrastructure skills and 2) Cloud Tenant Operations roles to manage customer relationships, service governance, and service design/development for applications running in the cloud. The new model is meant to help IT organizations better control cloud resources, add more business value as strategic partners, and drive business growth through cloud-enabled innovation.
