However, it ties up all of the firm's resources on a single product, service, or product line. The firm's success and growth is dependent entirely on that particular product with nothing to fall back on were that product to fail.

Teachers
Words: 582 - Pages: 3.... days to complete; unfortunately, since this teacher has not been
to school for at least 30 years, he cannot understand how difficult it is
for a student to complete such a large task in such a small amount of time.
Completely opposite from the "you wanted MORE homework?" teacher is
the "indefinite-deadline teacher." This teacher assigns a mild amount of
homework, with few - if any - large projects. A conversation with this type
of teacher generally follows this pattern:
Teacher: Do you all have your assignment done?
Student: No… can we have another day to work on it?
Teacher: Well… I guess so.

However, having studied Marx’s ideas(2), Weber put forward a different analysis to describe the development of Western capitalism. Weber instead put forward an idea which did not seek to replace Marx’s idea as a spiritual alternative(ibid), but was to give a different angle of how capitalism may have developed in the West. This idea was based on a coincidence which W .....

Indonesia Crisis As An Example
Words: 2080 - Pages: 8.... sense: Nations would behave differently after the meltdown than they did during the past generation of extraordinary prosperity. The reconfiguration of Sino-American relations is an obvious manifestation of this. But it is the domestic political changes that are the most profound and will have the most impact on international relations. It should be obvious that an economic transformation of the magnitude we have seen cannot help but have equally dramatic political consequences.

Computers also facilitate communication in large lecture halls where sometimes students find it impossible to talk with their professors. E-mail has become the most efficient way by which teachers and students interact. However, one can argue that e-mail is an artificial substitute for student-teacher contact.
