The month of March

St. Patrick's Day



03/10/10- Talked about chapter 2- dealing with government regulations. why is there government regulations because businesses fail to regulate, which is the rationale of regulation- failure of self regulation. ex: tacobell fails to give out toys in the minnie meals.



Everyone is given the responsibility to self regulate.

That is why there is EEO- Equal Employment Opportunities. The business want to keep and protect the environment and have a safe, healthy environment.
EEO also has changed since the 1940's-radically. The civil rights case in 1964 helped made it changed because of issues dealing with employment, discrimination, sexual harrasements.

03/15/10- ADA which is America's Disability Act. Search for US v. UOG case and it talked about more about it. It was a case where Ron involved.
Hawethorne effect- when people know they are being watched or observed, they act differently. The behavior changes significantly.

Does the government need to watch over businesses??..no because they value regulations. They need other agencies to tell them what to do. Job saftey regulations: dangerous american jobs- constructions, fishing in alaska, and being a taxi driver.

#1 factor increasing safety in workplace is to run your own regulations.

03/17/10- Talked more about the book, but also talked about the homicide case where the minors were being charged as adults.
Game theory- El Farol Bar- In Guam two person election results are always in the competitive zone..where people vote for the candidates that are the opposites of what they hate. Similar to the an enemy of my friend is my friend.

Business is a game to win..where making money makes you WIN..just the same as politics- who gets what, where, and how.
