Recommended: Case study on retail store operations

I work full-time as a payroll coordinator at a wine and spirit distributor. No, I do not get freebies on wine or spirits bottles – it’s a sin! However, they do conduct wine tasting classes during lunch hours so associates may try several new wines. Of course, the head educator does monitor our alcohol intake. Each glass has enough wine to distinguish the difference taste in wines. I truly appreciate the work that I do and the company I work for. I’ve been working for Empire Merchants for seven years. I enjoyed the challenges and knowledge that comes with payroll. Who knew that so much calculation and regulations goes behind the scene to process a paycheck? It’s a lot folks! Therefore, since a lot involved in processing a paycheck, my goal

  • economic systems in copan compared to other ancient cultures

    Throughout history there has been a common theme of progression towards more complex societies. The advent of agriculture enabled population sizes to increase, and allowed permanent settlements to arise. As extensive cultivation of farmland progressed, a surplus of food was created that enabled some people within a society to be non-food producers. These people who no longer were required to farm in order to survive were able to develop marketable goods that they could exchange for food. This transition towards interdependence, (craftsmen depending on exchanging their goods for food), brought with it an opportunity for the government within each society to exact some tribute for monitoring the economy, and making sure that exchanges went smoothly. This led to societies with a well-defined hierarchy and slowly led to the abolition of the egalitarian societies where everyone engages in the same means of production. Within these aforementioned egalitarian societies there is some occupational specialization, but it is based on the skill of the craftsmen, and no one is a full time specialist. The differences in the economies of Copan, Teotihuacan, and ancient Rome, can illustrate why and how economies increase in complexity, and what criteria are necessary for large-scale economic specialization. More specifically, what factors limited Copan and Teotihuacan, preventing them from attaining the population size, and economic complexity of ancient Rome.

  • Pay Policy: Ethics Versus Pay

    1721 Words  | 4 Pages

    Almost two years ago the company where I am employed, RGIS LLC, mandated a pay policy change for the hourly employees. Hourly employees make up over 95% of RGIS’s labor staff. This new, four-tier payment scale, aptly named “Pay 4 Performance” (p4), ultimately affected thousands of employees who had been with the company for years and had high pay rates simply as a result of longevity. The four new levels would have a matching pay scale based upon each individual employee’s production. These levels are what RGIS calls an ASET level: Auditor, Specialist, Expert, and TopGun, with each level advancing to a higher production and pay rank, respectively (Company).

  • The Rise of European Empires

    1325 Words  | 3 Pages

    The one constant theme from any period in history we examine seems to be that of change. As Europe began to take shape, it did so with an expansion and contraction rate that was dramatically impacted by changes in political organizations, positive and negative economic forces, and through shifts in social structure. The path to the creation of the European empires was a long and tedious journey. Sixth century feudalism gave way to the creation of a central authority. The thirteenth century was scarred by the Black Death but it brought about economic changes that would resonate well into the Renaissance period of the fifteenth century. Nation-states began their formation as the need for a centralized government dictated. With each step during this period, the faces of social, economic and political organization changed – all leading to the rise of the European empires.

  • Essay On International Trade

    836 Words  | 2 Pages

    Economists have known that international trade is one of the most important ways in which societies can increase their standard of living, since the time of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, with their work on specialization and comparative advantage. There is a strong connection between international trade and economic growth which is known since long time ago. The Roman Empire is a good example; it got rich because it was able to trade over long distances. Another example is the spice trade which was between Europe and Asia; it was the first and a very good example of how trade between the two continents enriched both of them. The nineteenth century saw a very high rise in trade, big reduction in piracy, and huge improvements in the quality and speed of shipping. This was also the period in which modern economic growth first became established. However, during the wars, the international trade decreased which brought misery to millions of people. After the world war, the trade increased dramatically. International trade increased the standard of living for those in developed and developing countries.
