it is said that the public and congressional concern. about deceptive packaging uproar started because senator hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, mrs. hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10.5 ounces, without any reduction in price. there were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. lze. later, the senator rightly complained of a store-bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie. 9w'{N<)=

the manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity, delivered can, without undue hardship, put his product into boxes, bags. and tins that will contain even 4-ounce, 8-ounce, one-pound quantities of break fast foods, cake mixes, etc. a study of drugstore and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles and tins are in use more same time and as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in product differentiation. the producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work. and net weights hat are used for improving a product's market position.

when a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply tile price of hard sweets by 2.5,from i dollar to 2.50 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5-ounce bottle look as though it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. it evidently does come high. when an average family pays about 200 dollars a year for bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can't be used for anything but stuffing the garbage can. 2`];\m V

if sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills, american firms have a problem. human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival or the firm in the united states. skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. labor is simply another factor of production to be hired-reined at the lowest possible cost-much as one buys raw materials or equipment. i2-vKA

the lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. in an american firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. the post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. the executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to chief executive officer (ceo). by way of contrast, in japan the head of human-resource management is central - usually the second most important executive, after the ceo, in the firm's hierarchy.
