Also when the government chooses to Investment finance this then involves selling part of your business (‘shares’) to an investor.

...Research Methods for Strategic Managers to Aid in Decision Making Abstract [P1] Managers can be trained to make better decisions. They also need a supportive environment where they won’t be unfairly criticised for making wrong decisions and will receive proper support from their colleague and superiors. A climate of criticism and fear stifles risk-taking and creativity; managers will respond by ‘playing it safe’ to minimise the risk of criticism which diminishes the business’ effectiveness in responding to market changes. It may also mean managers spend too much time trying to pass the blame around rather than getting on with running the business. The study is based on all-embracing research to assemble information from a variety of sources such as internet, interview and books. The research was conducting on the decision making in the different economic scenario data was collected and results were evaluated. Introduction [P1] [1.1] Some decisions are difficult because of the need to take into account how other people in the situation will respond to the decision that is taken. The analysis of such social decisions is more often treated under the label of game theory, rather than decision theory, though it involves the same mathematical methods. From the standpoint of game theory most of the problems treated in decision theory are one-player games (or the one player is viewed as playing against an impersonal background situation). In the emerging socio-cognitive engineering...

...Targeting The Young With the ever-increasing demand in today’s fast food industry market, the food industry is beginning to target a new segment of the market. Children are now the preferred targets for child advertisement. The problem is that a line hasn’t been drawn to restrict these advertisements from reaching the younger children, from three to nine years old, they’re not even teens yet! The three to nine year olds, the one the restriction should be placed on, seem to be the most popular market for the fast food restaurants around the world. About 90 percent of children between the ages of three to nine years old visit a McDonalds at least once a month (Taylor). That’s a big chunk of the country’s population visiting a given restaurant at least once a month, leaving no question as to why they do it. Another reason they segment this young aged part of the market is because at that young of an age, what they see on the ads is what they grow up with. The restaurants then try to link long term loyalty to their brand by feeding their brand name and advertising tricks as young as possible to lodge it in their heads. This not only causes short term gains resulting in those children being part of that 90 percent, but also long term gains because now they continue growing with that loyalty to the brand, resulting in a bigger pool of customers for the future. All that being said, the companies know that the children are not the ones getting in the car and driving to spend...
