“Since Disc Depot, the music store on the next block, began a new radio advertising campaign last year, its business has grown dramatically, as evidenced by the large increase in foot traffic into the store. While the Disc Depot’s owners have apparently become wealthy enough to retire, profits at Carlo’s Clothing have remained stagnant for the past three years. In order to boost our sales and profits, we should therefore switch from newspaper advertising to frequent radio advertisements like those for Disc Depot.”"                10.22

“Across town in the Park Hill district, the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had business increases within the past two years. Capital Idea should therefore invest in the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o’-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new businesses in the Irongate district. As a condition, we should require them to participate in a special program: Any customer who patronizes two of the businesses will receive a substantial discount at the third. By motivating customers to patronize all three, we will thus contribute to the profitability of each and maximize our return.”"                10.22

"1.只有高科技才能提高利润，排除他因，错。
2.提高效率的是那些操作电脑的员工，和提高所有员工效率不对等，错。
3.这个公司要拼命提高高科技投资，不对，说不定技术支持已经够了，边际效率为o了，再提高也没啥用。这样做反而把其他投资的budget减少了。"

    “Eight years ago, our firm’s profits were increasing with each new employee we added. We discovered that each employee had the skills and motivation to generate more revenue for the firm than his or her salary cost us. However, for the past two years, our profit margin has been falling, even though we have continued to add employees. Thus, our newer employees are not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries. We must not be hiring new employees with the same level of skills and motivation as those we used to attract. Clearly, then, failures in the human resources department account for our falling profits.”"                10.22

“Our factory in Cookville is our most advanced and efficient. It is capable of producing ten drill bits for each dollar of production costs, whereas none of our other factories can produce more than seven drill bits per dollar of production costs. Therefore, we can reduce our overall drill bit production costs by devoting the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production. Since reducing the production costs of individual machine parts is the only way to achieve our larger goal of reducing our overall production costs, dedicating the Cookville factory entirely to drill bit production and shifting all other machine part production to our other factories will help us to attain that larger goal.”"                10.22

“Currently, more professional accountants use SmartPro accounting software than any other brand. However, in the market for personal accounting software for non-professionals to use in preparing their income tax returns, many of our competitors are outselling us. In surveys, our professional customers repeatedly say that they have chosen SmartPro Software because our most sophisticated software products include more advanced special features than competing brands. Therefore, the most effective way for us to increase sales of our personal accounting software for home users would clearly be to add the advanced special features that our professional software products currently offer.”"                10.22

一份调查显示，这个城市的居民倾向于吃得更健康。吃得更健康可以通过吃有机食品来实现，就是那些没有人工添加剂和农药的。这个调查还显示，这城市已经ready to support一项建个蔬菜大棚（我也忘了是啥，grocery反正是）的计划。然后这人就说咱们应该抓住这机会，主动的Moving到xx（不认识）market， 然后在每个Location都弄一gym，然后说肯定赚钱，咱们已经一年利润没增加了
以下是上月的考古：
一份调查显示人们越来越关心饮食健康。食用有机食品是其中一种够满足需求的方法。然后给了有机食品的定义。说根据这份调查，某城市很有可能要开一间organic grocery store. 有个gym老板说要在city设立第一间organic grocery store之前，在他们三家gym里分别设一个organic food section，这样能够提高他们的profit.                                                        "                10.22

考古：Business manager for a dealership sent a memo to all the dealerships saying that on the month of June, the dealership's luxury models were put in the showroom and the sales for both the luxury and inexpensive models increases and was the highest of the year. Whereas, for the month of February, when the dealership puts the inexpensive models in the showroom, the sales for both luxury and inexpensive models decrease. Clearly, to maximize the dealership's profit, it should put the luxury models all year round on the showroom. Because clearly, not only the luxury models sell, but also attract customers to buy the inexpensive cars （感谢likebeing 提供）"                10.22

1                jessiecg         Now is the perfect time to buy a house in our city. Over the past five years, average home prices in our region have nearly doubled. But average stock prices in the national stock market have actually declined over the same period. So homeowners have seen an increase in value for their housing investment during the last five years that far exceeds what they could have made by investing in the stock market. Our city’s resident can surely achieve a similar profit over the next five years. Furthermore, if residents invest in a home, they can enjoy the use of the home while its value increases, whereas money invested in stocks would not contribute to their quality of life in the same way that owning a home would. Therefore, all the residents of our city should invest their money in a home.                10.22
