Reward leads to the repetition of a behaviour.
John Watson:
"give me a dozen healthy infants, well -formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I’ll guarantee to take anyone at random and train them to become any type of specialist I might select – doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant-chief, and, yes, even beggar man and thief , regardless of his talents, penchants, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors"

(such as dead trees in old growth forests) would be best described as
a. moral and aesthetic preservation
b. global environmental citizenship
c. pragmatic resource conservation
d. a cornucopian worlview
e. global environmental citizenship

C. It acnowledges that in the real world, if we want to minimize the destruction of natural habitat, we should allow the "harvesting" of resources that have significant economic value but are at the end of their natural cycle. It should be noted though that when you remove a dead tree or anything from the ecosystem, you break the ecological cyle and there is a net loss to the health of that environment. I think it’s a bad idea personally.

cost approach after development?

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

my husband and i are buying a house for 82,500 our apprasiel came back at 84,000 but there was something that said cost after developmet 131,950….can someone explain what this means to me…is it simply if we update the house the house could be worth that ?

The cost approach means that if you purchased the land & built the house with today’s prices of building materials that would be what it would cost. However, you cannot sell a property based on a cost approach, because your house has depreciated, and the sales amount is what a ready, willing and able buyer is willing to pay to purchase as is… not what it would cost to build. You find that figure by comparing your house to similar ones that have sold recently… within the last 3 months if possible.

1.What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Japanese approach to product development?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

The Japanese methodology:

Japanese industrial combines are not what they appear to be. They do not develop all of their own product line, nor do they manufacture it. In reality, these huge businesses are more like “Trading companies”. That is, rather than design and manufactures their own goods, they actually coordinate a complex design and manufacturing process that involves thousands of smaller companies. The goods you buy with a famous maker’s name inscribed on the case are seldom the product of that company’s factory – and often not even the product of its own research. Some else designed it, someone else put it together, someone stuck it in a box with the famous maker’s name on it and then shipped it to its distributors.
Does this operation sound unnecessarily complex? Obviously, these huge corporations have their own factories and workers. So why don’t they employ their own resources to produce the goods they sell?
They do, of course – but only partially. For instance, it would make every little sense for an electronics giant like Matsushita to farm out the design, manufacture and assembly of a refrigerator or microwave oven. These products are ideally suited to mass production in the kind of large, highly automated factories that the giant companies can afford. Their factories produce hundreds of thousands of these units every year.
But what about products that companies must continually redesign to compete for public acceptance – like headphone stereos, small compact disc players, or personal computers? Redesigning means retooling a production line. It means sourcing new parts and lots of other things. For a typical product, a company might expect to sell 30,000 units in a few months, retool, sell another 50,000 u nits, redesign some basic components, retool again, see what the competition brings out, retool again and on and on, throughout the life cycle of the entire product line. Although some of the giant makers are now employing the newest flexible manufacturing system (FMS) to allow them more freedom in production, this retooling process is something many big companies want to eliminate.
Thus, they farm out much of this business to subcontractors – smaller companies they can depend on. These companies in turn, faced with redesigning and producing a product three or four times a year, will subcontract the design or manufacture of a dozen key components to still smaller companies.
How extensive is this sub contracting pyramid? Would you guess a few dozen companies? a few hundred? Think again. One electronics company I know has over 6,000 subcontractors in its industrial group, most of them tiny ships that exist just to fill a few little orders for the companies above them.
Welcome to the real world of Japanese manufacturing.

does china have a hands off or hands on approach to economic development and the same with usa?

Monday, September 28th, 2009


Can’t speak for China, but I can say that the USA has a very hands-on approach to economic development.

I would say the vast majority of bills that go through the legislature are concerned with improving or maintaining economic development.

Some may not be directly improving it, but it would be considered as part of the decision making process.

E.g. if the Government makes a decision on pension plans, they will consider the impact upon economic development and growth, whether positive and negative.
