@ Incentives matter and can powerfully effect people's work ethic and behavior.
Contracts,specifying these incentives,are powerful enough to alter work personalities.
The incentives created by different types of labor contracts explain why post office workers are often surly, waiters are often polite,and salespeople are often aggressively polite.
A properly structured share contract may elicit a strong sales effort but it can also create moral hazard problems of its owm.
Specifically, it can motivate a pushy sales behavior that may marginally increase the chances of an immediate sale from a gullible client but damage the image of the company in the eyes of other potential customers,thus reducing the chances of a future sale captured by another salesperson.
For example,Internet blogs and discussion groups overflow with disaster stories of Kirby vacuum cleaner salesmen,infamous for their unyielding sales techniques.
The following is an excerpt of one such story relayed by "Bob's Brain" of Yexley. net:
A (My wife)and I were just sitting on the couch watching a little bit of TV talking about going to bed early because we were tired,and here comes this guy knocking on our door.
I got up and walked to the door and he looks at me and says "You must be Bob" thinking to myself "OK,how in the... do you know my name stranger?
He explained that he was there to give us our demo.
So I said to the guy, "At nine o'clock at night?!"
He continues on to explain that it“won't take long”and that they'll“be out of‘hair’in no time.”
Alright,come on in.
Anyway, to make a long story short,this guy spends the next HOUR giving us this stupid Kirby vacuum cleaner demonstration while his rookie partner just sat there in our chair watching the TV that was on mute...
The whole time this guy is asking us these stupid questions with ridiculously obvious answers like “Do you like to save money” and “Do you like being healthy" and various other insulting stuff like that.
Then he asks us if we have any salt,so I give him a can of it and he proceeds to pour HALF OF IT into a pile in the middle of our carpet and then grinds it all down into our carpet.
I'm sorry, there's no WAY(vacuumed)all of that salt up after as much as he dumped down there and ground all down into it.
明後日テストなのですが、昨日いきなり下の文がテスト範囲になり自分の力ではどうして翻訳していると時間が足りませんTT 申し訳ないのですがどなたかわかる方和訳お願いします; The mission of the Bank of Japan is to (1) maintain price stability and 2) ensure the stability of the country’s financial system. For the first one, the Bank of Japan’s goal is to pursue price stability or to maintain an economic environment in which there is neither inflation nor deflation. The organization also provides settlement services.
As Japan’s sole issuing bank, the Bank of Japan issues banknotes. The organization conducts many measures to prevent counterfeiting. Consumers cannot open an account at the Bank of Japan, as it does not deal with common people but only with other banks; that is, it is the ‘banks’bank’. Finally, as the government’s bank, the Bank of Japan handles receipts and disbursements of the Finance funds, including acceptance of tax monies and payment of public works and pensions.
The Bank of Japan engages in international activities, for example, by intervening in the foreign exchange market as an agent of the Minister of Finance. To ensure appropriate implementation of monetary policy, the Bank of Japan must have an accurate understanding of the country’s overall economic and financial conditions. To this end, the Bank of Japan also compiles statistics on spending, savings, investment, and other areas of economic activity.
Note that the Bank of Japan is an independent agency. There is some possibility of the Bank of Japan and the government coming into conflict. However, the Bank of Japan conducts monetary policy according to what it thinks is best for the economy.
すいません。先ほどの続きです;先ほど書き忘れたのですが経済の話です。 (先ほどの名前924はうち間違えです;このスレの924の方とは違います。紛らわしくてスイマセン;;) The Japanese economy continues to recover; however, some areas in production as well as consumption are weak. Although exports have been steady or increasing, production activity seems to be somewhat weak mainly due to inventory adjustments in IT-related sectors.
Employment rates have been improving, and household income has stopped declining. Private consumption has been steady. However public investment appears to be on a downtrend. Developments in IT- related demand and oil prices as well as overseas economies should continue to be watched carefully. Oil prices may rise because there is strong demand in China.
The lending attitude of financial institutions has been improving. Lending by private banks is still improving. For borrowers, financial market conditions continue to be extremely favorable as the Bank of Japan continues to provide ample liquidity.
Since agents are rewarded based only on their own sales,they have no incentive to internalize the negative consequences of their“nonsales”behavior.
Thus, a strict share contract can create a divergence between the interest of the agents and the principal.
We will see that this phenomenon exhibits some parallels with the behavior of peasant farmers who are given high-powered,short-term productivity incentives but lack the long-term incentives to promote sustainable land use.
When would we expect to see principals use share contracts?
Share contracts provide stronger incentives for agents than fixed-wage contracts,though,as we will see later in this chapter, they lack the strength of incentives embodied in a fixed-rent contract.
Share contracts also distribute risk between the agent and the principal and in this way are more attractive to a risk-averse agent than a fixed rent contract.
Thus,we should observe share contracts when monitoring is difficult for the principal and when agents are risk-averse and susceptible to idiosyncratic shocks to their incomes-events that affect their productivity but are out of their control,like moody customers.
1 One of the most common examples of the principal-agent problem occurs between a principal who wants something sold but needs someone else to do the selling.
Whether one is selling shoes,cosmetics,advertising space,or vacuum cleaners,it is easy to be passive about selling someone else's product.
A really good sales job takes not only time but also sensitivity, energy and creativity, which may be more naturally directed toward one’s more personal interests.
Consequently, salespeople,acting as agents of a principal,nearly always receive contracts flush with incentives for closing the deal with customers.
A typical salesperson receives a relatively low fixed wage and a commission on each sale that is a percentage of the item’s final selling price.
Usually the more difficult it is to monitor the salesperson,the greater the percentage of the salesperson's income is composed of commission.
When monitoring by the principal is easier, the fixed-Wage component may be higher,while still providing some incentive for an enthusiastic sales effort.
The supervisors of door-to-door salespeople face a double dose of difficulty that surpasses that of the ordinary principal.First,they face the ordinary problem of motivating their sales staff to interact persuasively with customers.
But unlike a salesperson selling shoes or cosmetics in the confines of a physical retail space,they face a colossal monitoring problem due to the ambulatory nature of their sales staff.
In practice,the supervisor simply can’t monitor the salespeople at all.
As a result,door-to-door salespeople labor under contracts that often pay no fixed wage whatsoever, with their income entirely consisting of a share of their gross sales. 和訳よろしくお願いします。
2 In 1906,Alfred C.Fuller founded a legendary door-to-door sales enterprise,the Fuller Brush Company.
Fuller began the company, renowned for its distinctive collection of home and personal care products,by establishing three basic rules for his products: make it work;make it last;and guarantee it“no matter what.”
His company took off quickly.
Fuller became something of a folk hero,and the traveling Fuller Brush Man became an American folk icon.
Early Walt Disney cartoons cast Donald Duck in the role of a Fuller Brush Man.
In Disney's rendition of the Three Little Pigs,the Big Bad Wolf appeared at the little pigs' front door disguised as a Fuller Brush Man before he huffed and puffed and tried to blow their houses down.
長文の訳なんですが宜しくお願いします。 タイトルWhen Things Go Boom! It could be a tree, a telephone pole or even another car. Drivers go out of control. That is when things make a deep hollow sound-or go boom! Traffic injuries are the leading cause of death in people aged 10 to 24 around the world. Who says so? These were the findings in a report by the World Health Organization(WHO)in 2007. Traffic accidents are a big public health issue for kids. Webster's American English Dictionary says that an accident is an event occurring by chance or unintentionally. But Margaret Chan,who is WHO's new director general,says that road traffic crashes are not "accidents". She believes that they are avoidable. About 30 percent of all traffic deaths worldwide are of people younger than 25. That is nearly 400,000 each year. And it is the teenage and young-adult drivers who are at the greatest risk. What can be done to stop this from happening? Etienne Krug is the physician who heads WHO's department for injury and violence prevention.

Secondly, there are good economic arguments in terms of direct benefits to the First World against the continuation of this unequal situation. Even while the high levels of concentration between members of the Triad were developing in the 1980s, this did not prevent them from falling into recession. Indeed the post-1973 period more generally has been one of continued economic difficulties for many of the advanced countries of the Triad. One of the reasons for this could be the relative growth of cross-border merger and acquisition expenditure at the expense of ‘new establishment’ investment in the 1980s. M&A activity has expended dramatically in the Triad countries (see below).
Henry Poole is well known for the first and the oldest tailor in Savile Row. When I thought I would have a suit made to measure in Savile Row, one of my friends who is an expert of custom suits and a member of a Gentlemen's club in London recommended me to choose Henry Poole. Then, I contacted to Mr. George Glasgow in G.J.Cleverley and asked him to introduce me to Henry Poole. This is the third order in Henry Poole and it is the new three-piece suit in 2-button. The material is gray striped super120's wool by Edwin Woodhouse in Huddersfield. Through two fittings, the suit was delivered this March. To tell the truth, I ordered typical three button style but result was different. However, I've got tired of the same 3-button jackets so I immediately accepted 2-button style. Henry poole's fitting is a bit different from the same British tailor as Fallan & Harvey. Poole 's jacket strikes wearers as grasping both shoulders from back but Fallan & Harvey's jacket makes an impression on stepping on the shoulders. I like both but I've understood that every tailor has their own way for fitting. Next time, I will order a Jacket & trousers.
The authenticity issue,expressed as "music being done right," has arisen in my conversations with Japanese consumers of classical music as well.Reading in a popular source of information about Japan that the two most frequently performed pieces of European music were Beethoven's Symphony No,9 and Vivaldi's Four Seasons, I went searching in Tokyo stores for recordings of them:of fifty-four choices for the Beethoven,I found only two recordings by Japanese orchestras.Whereas I found only three CDs of the Vivaldi performed by Japanese musicians, I read in the same source that the rendition by the European orchestra I Musici had by 1996 sold 2.8 million copies in Japan."Why would this be?"I have asked."If it's going to be done right,it should be done by European musicians. Japanese like imported things,"has come the response.There are probably more Japanese recordings of those two pieces than I found.However,the number of touring European orchestras,chamber music groups,opera companies,and soloists on Japanese concert programs is simply amazing,given the huge investment in specialized musical training and high level of accomplishment by Japanese musicians who specialize in those repertoires themselves.My annual visits to stores selling recordings show no change:those by Japanese artists must be searched for on the shelves,no matter what the international genre.The music is in the hearts of Japanese music lovers,but domestic professional performance of it appears to be accorded only second rank to that of foreigners.
和訳お願いします The thought processes that led to LEED certification also resulted in an overall creative design, because sustainable design elements also helped meet the challenges of fitting a 156,000 square foot building onto a tight site in a dense urban setting. Constant reviews of the LEED checklist during design and construction led to the incorporation of many innovations into the final solution.
