WTO: The abbreviation for World Trade Organization, which is an international organization that oversees multilateral trade among nations. The WTO was established in 1995 by the Uruguay round of trade negotiations to replace the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) that had been in place for the preceding five decades. The WTO administers multilateral trade agreements, provides a forum for trade negotiations, handles trade disputes, monitors national trade policies, and provides technical assistance and training for developing countries. The WTO has about 150 member countries.

Lesson 2: Economic Science | Unit 5: Cause and Effect Page: 17 of 20

Topic: Purpose <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

The purpose of science is to identify the fundamental, basic laws of nature that guide our every moves.
  • The purpose of the scientific method is to explain the world by identifying cause and effect.
  • For every action there is a consequence. And for every consequence there is a cause.
The first step is to identify cause and effect links is correlation:

  • Correlation. If event A causes event B, then event A is correlated with event B. But, correlation does not mean causation. Two events can be correlated, without one causing the other. Note the fallacy of false cause.
  • Time Proximity. Event A and event B must happen at about the same time.
  • Time Sequence. Event A must precede event B. If event B occurs first, then it can't be caused by event A.

MANAGERIAL BEHAVIOR

A preference for maintaining the status quo over changing it based on relatively greater satisfaction generated by redundant information over novel information. Managerial behavior is well suited for keeping an existing business and complex organizations running smoothly and efficiently. This behavior is inclined to manage, to administer, and to apply existing rules and procedures. An alternative is entrepreneurial behavior, which is a preference for changing the status quo over maintaining it.
