This difference, our profit, represents the value we add to the resources we utilize.” PeopleIfsJobsValuesTurnsDifferencesPayMaterialsProductsCostSkillsResourcesAddProfitAvailableCustomersGood JobFacilityConducting Author:David Packard
“The question of whether a device will come into being depends upon three things: first, whether there is a practical use for it that warrants its development and manufacturing costs; second, whether the laws of physics applying to the elements available for its design allow the attainment of the needed ranges, sensitivities, or the like; and third, whether the pertinent art of manufacture has advanced sufficiently to allow a useful embodiment to be built successfully.” FirstsArtUseLawThreeDesignDependsDevelopmentNeededCostElementsBuiltThirdsAvailablePhysicsPracticalsRangeDevicesSensitivityThree ThingsAttainmentManufacturingEmbodimentWarrantsLaws Of PhysicsPertinent Book:MODERN ARMS AND FREE MEN: A DISCUSSION OF THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN PRESERVING DEMOCRACY Source: MODERN ARMS AND FREE MEN: A DISCUSSION OF THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN PRESERVING DEMOCRACY
“Since loans are getting more expensive and there's less money available, we're seeing a commensurate decline in growth. Higher costs and lower growth, in turn, translate into lower profits.
