The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was implemented on January 1st, 1994 and is an agreement to remove both tariffs and investment barriers between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, as well as encourage further trade. NAFTA incorporates the previous 1989 agreement between the United States and Canada to remove tariffs on agricultural trade. Mexico and Canada had a separate agreement on agricultural products that eliminated most of the tariffs over a fifteen year period. The full provisions of the NAFTA agreement, including the elimination of all tariffs, were implemented fourteen years after the first signing of NAFTA on January 1st, 2008.
The document discusses the decline of manufacturing in Australia and proposes solutions to revive the industry. It attributes the decline to factors like trade union demands, small-scale production, and loss of tariff barriers. It argues that embracing free market economics through bodies like the Productivity Commission has damaged the economy. It proposes that Australia needs to increase manufacturing again by adding value to exports, developing a government plan, and supporting small-to-medium enterprises through shared logistics and compliance costs.
This document discusses the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It provides details on the establishment of NAFTA in 1994, as well as its goals of improving market access and reducing tariffs between the three countries. While trade and investment increased sharply after NAFTA, it also resulted in job losses for some US workers and increased inequality. The document concludes that NAFTA has been very successful in increasing trade but has also caused issues like job losses that need to be addressed going forward to prevent worsening inequality among the three nations.
The document discusses various ways that countries and economies can be grouped on a global scale. It examines economic groupings based on development levels and types of economies. Political groupings like trade blocs that countries form through international agreements are also covered. The impacts of transnational corporations on both host and source countries are summarized, noting they can bring both benefits like job creation but also costs such as environmental impacts and profits leaving the host nation.
This document discusses the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its impacts since taking effect in 1994. It outlines NAFTA's objectives of removing trade barriers, promoting fair competition, and increasing investments between the US, Canada, and Mexico. While NAFTA has led to overall increased GDP and exports, it has also been criticized for environmental violations going unpunished and some job losses. The document considers three options for the future of NAFTA - improving standards and oversight, focusing just on US-Canada relations, or creating a full North American common market.
The document provides an overview of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It discusses that NAFTA created a trade bloc between the US, Canada, and Mexico in 1994 to eliminate trade barriers and promote free trade. While NAFTA increased trade flows between the countries, it failed to meaningfully address issues like migration and differences in education and wages between members. The document also examines cultural differences between member countries and impacts of NAFTA on sectors like agriculture.

This document discusses a study on the corporate use of social media and its associated risks. It provides an executive summary of the study's key findings from an online survey of 141 executives and 12 in-depth interviews.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott drew on historical ties between Australian and Canadian soldiers at Vimy Ridge to argue that the two countries should deepen their relationship. The Canadian Australian Chamber of Commerce (CACC) works to strengthen economic connections by hosting events introducing businesses. While Australia and Canada have similar economies dominated by resources, their bilateral trade is less than their high levels of mutual investment, which shows investor confidence on both sides. CACC aims to raise awareness of opportunities in sectors like resources, agriculture and technology.

Key industry and market indicators for july 2015 canada and north americapaul young cpa, cga
This document provides an overview and analysis of the Canadian economy in July 2015. It discusses key economic indicators such as GDP, employment, housing starts, retail sales and comments from analysts. GDP figures from April 2015 suggest Canada may experience a recession in 2015 due to a contraction largely caused by wildfires in Alberta disrupting the oil and gas sector. However, strong housing markets and vehicle sales have helped support retail sales. While employment levels have remained high, future job losses are possible if the economic slowdown continues. Risks to the economy include lower oil prices, softness in China and Europe, and issues facing the manufacturing and automotive sectors.

Free trade refers to international trade without barriers like tariffs or quotas. The main advantages are increased choice and lower prices for consumers, and access to new markets for producers. However, it can lead to job losses in import-competing industries and greater inequality between nations. Problems with current trade patterns include trade imbalances and a lack of fair trade for developing countries. Managing the disadvantages requires policies to help workers in declining industries and ensure sustainable development.
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.

It outlines various barriers to international trade such as tariffs and currency fluctuations. Finally, it looks at Canada's major trading partners and various trade agreements that can help reduce barriers between countries.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
