Abstract
This paper examines the monetary policy of the Bank of Canada (BoC), explaining that it clearly believes in the importance of integrating and managing the Canadian economy vis-a-vis its integrated relationship with the global economic framework. The paper explains that the BoC's policy towards economic and currency management is centered on balancing its internal economic attributes; i.e. inflation, with those of its externally related economic functions; i.e. its exchange rate. The BoC has identified energy, and specifically petroleum, as central to both internal and external economic health and discusses its role in this regard at length.

Abstract
This paper examines why monetary policy is an important aspect of macroeconomic stability. The paper looks at why the tools, procedures and the body for enforcing these tools and procedures are very important aspects of any society. The paper then explains that monetary policy is a tool utilized by policy makers to correct inflationary or recessionary gaps. Next, the paper points out that the tools of monetary policy are used throughout an economy for other purposes; hence there are drawbacks to using it for macroeconomic stability. The paper also explores whether the marginal benefit from monetary policy exceeds the marginal cost of using the tools of monetary policy. In addition, the paper looks at how monetary policy also has 'spillover' effects for other markets, such as the financial markets or general business operation. In conclusion, the paper shows that lowering inflation or closing recessionary gaps have been the primary focus of the policies.

From the Paper
"Monetary policy is used during inflationary or recessionary periods to correct the problem. Ideally during inflationary periods the Federal Bank and policymakers want to decrease the money supply and increase interest rates, so that borrowing/spending can be constrained. During recessionary periods, policymakers will try to do the opposite, that is increase the money supply, so that interest rates can rise and increase investment and spending, which will have a spill-over effect on employment (BOG: Federal Reserve System, 2006, p. 15)."

From the Paper
"Monetary policy is a tool utilized by policy makers to correct inflationary or recessionary gaps. The tools of monetary policy are used throughout an economy for other purposes; hence there are drawbacks to using it for macroeconomic stability. The issue that should not be trivialized is whether the marginal benefit from monetary policy exceeds the marginal cost of using the tools of monetary policy. If this true, then its best for policy makers to undertake the action, the contrary holds true."

From the Paper
"Monetary policy is the ?attempt to moderate the business cycle and control inflation by changing the quantity of money in circulation to change interest rates? (McTaggart et al, 1999: 27.2). In another words, it is the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)?s attempt to change the quantity of money and interest rates so as to affect aggregate demand and, ultimately, equilibrium real GDP and the price level. McDonald defines monetary policy as the government?s policy on setting the level of the money supply (1996: 149)."

Abstract
This paper explains that motivation, defined as a force that affects behavior, influences behavior (1) by energizing, changing or initiating behavioral patterns, (2) by determining the behavior a person chooses and (3) by sustaining behavior or determining the individual levels of effort with respect to behavioral patterns. The author point out that pay appears to be a motivator in short-term situations but is ineffective as a long-term solution to reducing costs and increasing productivity. The paper concludes that, by implementing appropriate pay structures, incentive plans and motivation programs; management professionals may be able to shift the focus of employees from the extrinsic reward of pay to the intrinsic rewards of job satisfaction and recognition.

"A similar needs-based theory was outlined by Clayton Alderfer (1969). Alderfer condensed Maslow's five levels into three levels and designated them as his ERG theory. The first, existence needs, encompasses physiological needs as well as safety and security needs. Belongingess and external esteem needs make up the second level of relatedness needs. The third and final level, growth needs, consists of self esteem and self-actualization. This model is very similar to Maslow's as it is hierarchical in nature. That is, lower-level needs must be met before higher-order needs can be fulfilled."

"The Asian Monetary Fund is the reform measure of the International Monetary Fund, amidst severe economic crisis of East Asia, since the Second World War, were considered as too imposing and too stringent. This led many to seriously think of mild reforms to eradicate the possibility of future economic exigencies. Some others inclusive of Japanese Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa and South Korean Prime Minister Kim Jong-Pil went to the extreme and argued that IMF is quite incapable of healing the ailing Asian economics. They advocated the constitution of Asian Monetary Fund as an alternative to IMF reforms. The prevailing economic disaster in Asian regions has made the Asian institutions vulnerable to serious flaws as well as their responsive towards informality and consensus. The creation of Asian Monetary Fund was first proposed by Japanese Vice-Minister of Finance Eisuke Sakakibura during the year 1997. (Asian vs. International: Structuring an Asian Monetary Fund)"

Abstract
The paper discusses how monetary policy is crucial to the economy and impacts all types of economic and financial decisions individuals make. It shows that since the United States is the largest economy in the world, its monetary policy also has significant economic and financial effects on foreign countries. The paper analyzes and examines various issues related to monetary policy. First, the state of the United States economy is discussed. Next, the issue of whether the Federal Reserve is more concerned about high inflation or the possibility of a recession is analyzed. Lastly, this paper outlines the direction of a recent monetary policy and examines the policy actions the Federal Reserve has taken to confirm that direction.
From the Paper
"While monetary policy cannot impact either output or employment in the long run, it may affect them in the short run. For example, when demand contracts and there is a recession, the Federal Reserve may stimulate the economy, temporarily, and help push it back toward its long-run level of output by lowering interest rates. While monetary policy cannot expand the economy beyond its potential growth path or reduce unemployment in the long run, it may stabilize prices in the long run. Price stability is basically low inflation, i.e., inflation that is so low that consumers do not worry about it when they make decisions about what to buy, whether to borrow or invest, etc."

From the Paper
"For many years the Chinese Yuan was pegged to the U.S. dollar and, until recently, this was not a foreign policy issue. However, as the U.S. as well as other markets, have seen their import markets grow far beyond their export markets and consequently maintain extreme trade deficits, the artificial manipulation of the Yuan has now become a matter of foreign policy. Many foreign markets view China's exchange regime, managed float or not, to be an economic weapon and one in which it has not been reticent to utilize."

From the Paper
"In addition to discount window lending discussed previously, the Federal Reserve can control economic growth either by engaging in open market operations (the buying and selling of U.S. Treasury and federal agency securities in the open market) or by changing reserve requirements (requirements for the amount of funds that depository institutions must hold in reserve against deposits made by their customers) (Monetary policy). In open market operations, the Federal Reserve can inject money into the system by buying securities which will help stimulate the economy and fight deflation. Conversely, when it sells securities it pulls money out of the system which will help slow economic growth and fight inflation. Increasing reserve ratio requirements would be a policy to counter inflation and slow growth because they banks have less deposits available for loans; decreasing the ratio would do exactly the opposite."

Abstract
This paper considers the use of a non-monetary reward system for a department that cannot provide added money for incentive. It notes research showing that non-monetary rewards can be as important as monetary rewards for many employees and so can serve as motivators for improved performance. It claims, therefore, that making such an approach is ideal for any organization or division that has a limited budget or lacks full control of its budget but still needs to use rewards for motivation and job satisfaction.
From the Paper
"Companies often have to find ways of providing rewards that do not involve monetary rewards. Non-monetary rewards can include such things as added perquisites, promotions, recognition, and similar elements in the workplace. Research shows that non-monetary rewards can be as important as monetary rewards for many employees and so can serve as motivators for improved performance, making such an approach ideal for any organization or division that has a limited budget or lacks full control of its budget but still needs to use rewards for motivation and job satisfaction. A study reported by the American Management Association (1999) states that organizations that provide both recognition and job performance measurements enjoy higher levels of job satisfaction among their employees. It is also stated that there is a strong statistical correlation between employee satisfaction and increased company profits, a fact supported by a nationwide survey of U.S. workers ..."

However, the plan was tabled because of several economic factors, including the oil shortage, weakness of the U.S. dollar, and divergent economic policies around the world. The plan resurfaced in 1979 when the European Monetary System (EMS) was created.?

Recommendations on How the Federal Reserve can Manage the Economy Better
From the Paper
"The new Chairman of the Federal Reserve intends to continue the policy direction of his predecessor, Alan Greenspan. ("Testimony of the Chairman...," February 15, 2006) From early 2001 to June 2004, the Fed had pursued a highly "accommodative" monetary policy in which the interest rates were constantly lowered to increase the money supply and ward off the threat of recession. From mid-June 2004 onward, the Fed started to raise the interest rates to reduce the chances of inflation and to stabilize the prices. Achieving long-term price stability continues to be the number one stated direction of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. It intends to achieve such stability by keeping the long-term inflation rates low by keeping a close eye on the economic and financial indicators. Currently, the Fed believes that the long-term expectations of inflation are that it would remain low. Hence, the Federal Reserve intends to keep the interest rates at the current level in the short-term and to increase them slightly in case of further inflation pressures triggered by higher fuel prices."
