Abstract
This paper focuses on how liberalization and globalization, in a shift towards global competitiveness, have affected the outlook and practice of Canadian business objectives and management. The author points out examples of less expected developments in the traditional commodity markets, which needed changes in outlook and direction. The paper uses several references including Tom Wesson's collection of papers.
From the Paper
"Since the late 1980s, Canada has continued to adjust to a neo-liberal global economy as well as changes brought with Free Trade and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). As Barrows & Cotsomitis (2001) emphasize, a fairly protected Canadian market economy that was sometimes subsidized has had to adjust rapidly to a guiding concept of global competitiveness (p. 3). This paper examines Canada's position in a much changed contemporary world economy with special attention to the challenges that this changed environment and its business culture poses for how Canada understands management and management standards."

Abstract
There are several features of the macroeconomic environment that can have tremendous effects on the profitability of any given firm within the economy in question. This paper shows that these effects can be either favorable to the firm's profit-making ability or can have unprecedented adverse effects on it business activities, which would manifest itself as decreased profits and profitability of the business as a whole. The effects of macroeconomics features, such as aggregate national income, total investment and exports for the entire economy, on business profitability cannot be overemphasized. The paper shows that there are a broad range of opportunities and difficulties facing the macro economy as a whole that will have influences on the nature of businesses and the way in which they operate. The paper includes several figures.
From the Paper
"Government budget deficits are another feature of the macro environment that will immensely influence the level of profitability attributable to a business. The annual budget, which a government intends to pursue, will affect not only business profits, but also the economic situation of private individuals, which will in turn affect the way in which goods and services are transacted. In reality, as soon as a government announces its budget for the year, businesses already start making adjustments in order to synchronize their objectives and profit-making strategy in line with the budget."

A discussion regarding macroeconomic data, both historically and the forecast.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines both historical and forecasted macroeconomic data and addresses how these indicators are interrelated. It further discusses issues surrounding how governments, households and firms use this information to make decisions and plan strategically. In fact, governments use monetary policy to manage the country's money supply in order to achieve specific goals including constraining inflation, achieving full employment or more well-being.
From the Paper
"Governments use monetary policy to manage the country's money supply by implementing strategies to offset inflation, deflation, and recession. For instance, the federal government may use monetary policy to raise and lower interest rates to encourage households and firms to save money or spend it. Key economic indicators provide economists with data that is crucial to spending and investment decisions for governments, households and firms. Macroeconomic trends and analysis are also used to forecast how the economy may behave in the future. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the relationship between forecasted economic indicators and to analyze the implications of how these macroeconomic factors will effect Road Notary Inc.'s projected operation and planning issues. Based on the economic forecast and analysis of the indicators, recommendations will be made in order to minimize risks and maximize opportunities. "

Abstract
This paper deals with the main factors within a macroeconomic environment that can affect a firm's profitability. The paper analyses and examines this factors such as government spending, exports, taxation etc and discusses how these factors and to what extent they could affect a firm in its pursuit of maximizing profits.
From the Paper
"With the exception of two brief periods (1970 and 1988/9), the British government has had a budget deficit since the advent of the Second World War - it was spending more than it was raising taxation. In the mid-1970s the budget deficit was at one time around 8 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), and in 1993/4 the budget was again in deficit by more than 7 per cent of GDP9. It should be mentioned, that these deficits increase the national debt and more often and not this debt will exert pressures on the economy as a whole and not just on business profitability, as the debt will have to be paid back by the government with interest and to this, it must raise the level of taxation."

Abstract
This paper discusses macroeconomic forecasting and how and where to look for appropriate resources for research. The paper goes on to review the discussion surrounding the issue of junk science and its effect on published research.

From the Paper
"a. What are the economic indicators for which you will be providing forecasts? The economic indicators that will be used include income, interest rates, housing starts, and the condition of the real estate market (i.e. buyer or seller market). b. What sources will you use to obtain these forecasts? When conducting research and analysis, it is important to always consider the accuracy of the data being collected. The sources used to obtain forecasts of economic indicators must be reputable and reliable sources, otherwise risk the legitimacy of the research."

Abstract
This paper presents a macroeconomic analysis of the first quarter of the year 2003.

The paper then performs an analysis of two clothing companies - Gap and American Eagle Outfitters - and compares the two. The paper includes graphs.
From the Paper
"The Wendy?s corporation does not sell food or supplies to its franchisees. Instead, the Company makes volume purchases of many of these products. The current purchasing measures allow independent distributors to purchase certain products directly from suppliers. Similar to the McDonald?s Corporation, Wendy?s must approve the suppliers. The suppliers are then allowed to store and sell to the franchises and the company owned restaurants. (?Wendy's International (NYSE) - Business Description?) The company believes that the structure of this supply chain aids in assuring quantity discounts, and product availability. Multex Investor explains, ?These advantages are available both to the Company and to any franchisee that chooses to participate in the distribution program.?

Macroeconomic Problems, 2005.
This paper explores several fiscal and monetary policies to address five theoretical macro-economic problems.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 0 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains five theoretical macroeconomic problems including (1) GDP growth is 1.5%, steady over two years, (2) inflation has been 1-2% for the last two years, (3) unemployment is at 7.3%, up from 7% the previous year and 6.5% the year before that, (4) federal funds rate target is 3.5% and the discount rate is 3.25% and (5) the government budget has been operating at a deficit of $60 billion from last year, up from $50 billion the previous year. The author stresses that, as with many other disciplines, in economics, there is not always a singular answer to a given problem.
From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to present some possible solutions to problems in macroeconomics. As with many other disciplines, there is not always a singular answer to a given problem in the field. This is true of economics. Many theorists have spent many decades debating the veracity of their own claims. The Keynesians have gone toe-to-toe with the monetarists, for instance. With that in mind, it is important to understand that the focus of this paper is not on presenting absolute answers to the problems given, but instead to provide some possible solutions within the confines of fiscal and monetary policy. There are five problems that are discussed in this paper, along with the author's accompanying suggestions for policies that could alleviate the issue."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 2.5 percent over the last quarter of 2006 and by 2.0 percent in the third quarter of 2006("GDP News Release" para 7). GDP is the measure total output in the society, with real GDP being the purchasing power of that output. An increase in real GDP therefore implies that there was economic growth. The increase was primarily driven by increases in consumption, government spending and a decrease in imports.
"When real GDP increases, the society is on a higher production possibility curve, and can produce more of all goods, which is where the concept of economic growth is highlighted."

The Federal Reserve's Macroeconomic Tool, 2002.
A study of federal funds rates and their impact on the economy.

Abstract
This paper answers the following questions: How does the movement of interest rates impact the economy? How do interest rates impact inflation, foreign exchange rates, stock markets, bond markets and corporate growth? What role does the Federal Reserve play in the ecomy and how can changing the interest rates improve or hurt the economy? What rates does the Federal Reserve set?
From the Paper
"1.1] Introduction Interest rates are an important macroeconomic tool, used by the Federal Reserve Board to exercise monetary policy decisions. Although there is a widespread debate on how such a policy should be complimented with fiscal policies which are used by the government there is a large consensus that it does help to prevent excessive overheating of the economy and also help prevent long term recessions. Fiscal policy on the other hand may not offer a similar support mechanism to markets and its effects on the economy may take place over several years."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that according to U.S. government economists, the U.S. economy was adversely affected by a sharp increase in energy prices in mid-2005; however, these prices had fallen to their earlier levels by the end of the year. Furthermore, the writer notes that the impact of Hurricane Katrina continued to be felt in those regions of the country most severely affected, but government economists report that this event had little influence overall on the nation's GDP growth at the beginning of 2006. The writer points out that the funeral service industry is enjoying major growth today, and these trends are expected to continue in the future. Further, the writer maintains that shifts in the demographic composition of the U.S. will clearly have a pronounced effect on the funeral service industry, just as it will on allied healthcare services.

Qualitative Evaluation of First Quarter 2006 U.S. Economic Performance
Forecast for the Future Performance of the Funeral Service Industry
From the Paper
"Although the housing industry experienced mixed growth, but overall this industry appears to be on a downward trend following several years of robust growth; by contrast, business was expected to reap the increasing benefits from costs of scale production and innovation in telecommunications and computer-based applications. According to the Fed's Open Market Committee meeting minutes, outlays for equipment and software had regained their strength by early 2006, and capital spending continued to be healthy with the business sector's output expanding significantly."
"During this same period, many firms enjoyed large cash surpluses as well as price declines for high-tech equipment that has caused decreases in user costs. Likewise, in his remarks at the Greenlining Institute's Thirteenth Annual Economic Development Summit at Los Angeles, California on April 20, 2006, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben S. Bernanke reported that while the nation's economic performance can be discerned through both qualitative and quantitative indicators; however, the chairman also emphasizes the need to extend this analysis to the social and economic data at the community level."

Abstract
This essay analyses the economic reforms carried out during the 1980's and 1990's in Australia. The essay looks at the reasons for the changes as well as the impacts of such reforms. Finally, the essay questions whether such reforms worked to benefit the Australian economy and people. During the 1980?s and 1990?s, the institutions of economic governance changed in response to poor economic performance, globalisation, and technological developments. The major change was a shift from Keynesian economic policy to microeconomic policy. The purpose of this essay is to examine the impacts of liberal reforms and to address any continuing questions.
From the Paper
"During the 1980?s and 1990?s, there were various changes carried out. One such change was a decline in tariff protection. In 1974, the Whitlam Government announced a 25% across the board tariff cut (Quiggin, 1996), followed by the Hawke labour government further reducing tariffs to 5% over a period ending in 1992 (Quiggin, 1996). In 1993, Paul Keating effectively enacted a zero tariff campaign. Apart from several troubled sectors such as textiles and car manufacturing, the zero tariff result was achieved under the Howard government in the last years of the century (Brennan & Pincus, 2002). Following the recommendations of the Campbell and Martin Committees of Inquiry, another microeconomic reform occurred in October 1983, with the floating of the Australian dollar."

Abstract
The paper explains the relevant administrative law principles regarding the "Native Women's Association of Canada v. Canada" court case and asserts that in this situation, the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) was given an opportunity to be heard vis-a-vis the issues in dispute, proper procedural guidelines were followed and the Charter prerogatives of aboriginal women represented by the organization were not offended. The paper shows how there is no evidence that the government officials acted in a fashion that could be construed as biased. The paper concludes, therefore, that the government acted in full accord with the principles of administrative justice and the Court ruling substantiates this unequivocally.
From the Paper
"During the constitutional reform discussions that led up to the Charlottetown Accord, various government-funded aboriginal organizations were invited to participate in the debate. Unfortunately, the Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) was not invited to participate in this debate. In the view of the aforementioned group, its exclusion from direct funding and from direct participation in the constitutional discussions of the day was a threat to the equality of aboriginal women. In particular, NWAC was troubled at the prospect that the proposals being bandied about with regards to constitutional amendments might very well result in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms not applying to aboriginal self-government. Suffice it to say, NWAC went to court to prevent any further provisioning of monies to other aboriginal organizations until such time as NWAC was provided with equal funding as well."
