This is Part 3.
Requirement:
Analyze selected company to determine how the government intervention and labor issues have influenced the company. Note: Not all companies may be significantly impacted by both of these areas, so you will have to use your judgment about what is relevant.
1. What role, if any, did government intervention play in the evolution of this company?
2. What regulations that have been put in place during the time period for analysis and how have these regulations impacted the market outcomes?
3. Is there a labor union? Is this company impacted by minimum wage?
4. Does this company rely on high-skilled or low-skilled labor? How does the type of labor used (high-skilled or low-skilled) impact the supply of labor? How do these influence the wage rate in the company?
5. Does this company use more labor or more capital to produce products?
6. Has globalization play a role? Outsourcing?
