.... System of Central Banks); the various qualifications for joining the Union; the differing opinions about the currency integration; and to top it all off, included is an outline of the draft designs for the new Euro banknotes. To begin our journey on the road to the EMU, we begin with a brief review of the history leading up to its establishment. In June 1998, the European Council (EC) established a mission of realizing an economic union and commissioned a committee chaired by Jacques Delors, the then President of the European Commission, to study and propose a specific plan leading to this union. The committee was formed by .....

.... because the credit companies are sending out cards by the buckets to students. Citicorp just spent ten-million marketing credit cards to high- school kids. Sixty-one percent of all college students are carrying a card, and thirty-two percent of those got it before college. However a recent survey showed that fewer than thirty percent of the students polled could say what interest rate they were paying on their cards. It's like not knowing anything about guns and toting an Uzi. But the credit card companies understand about teaching children habits that will carry over into adulthood. Now credit cards aren't .....

.... available. For instance, and perhaps the simplest, is to invest the funds into a money-market account, which will on average receive 1-1 1/2% more interest than a traditional savings account. From the time the average American starts working - say 16 or 17 - till the time he retires, there will be a lot of money that has accumulated in this account. Another option is a tax-sheltered annuity. This is an option available to anyone - as long as they have an investment broker - to take a certain amount of money from their paycheck, tax free, and have it invested and re-in! vested in stocks and bonds. It can be cashed out at any times. .....

.... Cortese with "I love this place". This was another huge setback for BK because people on the go and parents found this ad loud and irritating. BK at this time has failed to establish a solid image that would differentiate it from its competitors. Ads if anything only confused consumers as to what advantages BK offered. In 1993 it had a market share of 6.1% were McDonalds had 15.6% and BK's sales were growing slower than its rivals. Failed advertising campaigns weren't the only problem's, they also had internal problems. Management lacked focus and direction and has struggled with marketing mix decisions. Franchises became conf .....

.... spendings, are the spending that the government make with the tax revenues, and they add to the gross domestic product. An automatic stabilizer that will lower gross domestic product is welfare. As income rises, there are less people who need welfare, therefore reducing the amount of government spending, and lowering the gross domestic product. Due to such automatic stabilizers as progressive tax rates and the decrease of government spending due to welfare, therefore a decrease in government borrowing, therefore a decrease in the demand for the dollar, therefore a decrease in the interest rate, which would cause a decrease in .....

.... causes areas such as school lunches, public broadcasting and poor women with children, to be cut while corporated welfare goes untouched. For example, it has been porved by Friends of the Earth and the National Taxpayers Untion Foundation that 34 corporate subsidies were "both wastedful and environmentally destructive." In most of the western United States, corporated welfare leads to dead earth. The federal government is looking in other areas to cut the budget instead of . It is estimated that the government could save around $500 billion in spending alone over seven years which would cut the the countries deficit in two .....

.... Boeing back in November when it was first voted on. It seems as though instead of purchasing new aircraft the pilots wanted a pay increase. What the pilots want is a pay increase of 11% over the next four years. What the have been offered is a 5% increase. The argument that the pilots have put forward is the fact that their offer does not even keep up with inflation. It looks as though a strike would be very unlikely because of the amount of money involved, somewhere around fifty million a day would be lost by American. That big of a loss could be very detrimental to any company. What can management do with a dilemma like .....

.... we did not work well together we would not have had a winning season. As well as playing soccer, I played saxophone in my eighth grade band. We all had to work together to be able to perform efficiently in the many concerts we consummated. Coming in after school for practices and smaller practices during the school day all helped us to unite and play music. This skill will enable me to work with other people, no matter what my personal feelings for them may be. Being able to use technology will be a profound advantage when I begin working. Many jobs now, and soon will, require proficiency in the use of a computer. Computers help .....

.... the ecological damage rendered every day by humanity. The pollution caused by everyday life such as trash and the pollution caused by factories and such all damper the economic standings of a nation. While several immeasurable items are left out of the calculation of GDP, a few things are included that do not necessarily need top be. When a disaster strikes a community, the costs of rebuilding are counted in the GDP. The should be counted because it causes work for some but it also is hurting others. In summation, GDP is not a competent ranking of the nation's economic standings. In the determine of GDP, there are to .....

.... the calculus either action is equally good. In this case, this implies similar consequences would result regardless of whether decisions are made cognitively or not. Thus, because no other rule applies, we will appeal to the levels of rules to guide our actions. In this case, our obligation remains with the shareholders, or does it? This may not account for the ill effect upon the employees. However, despite the anonymity of corporate entities, all decisions are made by managers capable of recognizing moral factors. The intent of this paper is to examine through philosophical perspectives how managers justify decisions as .....
