SALES MAXIMIZATION: The notion that business firms (especially those operating in the real world) are primarily motivated by the desire to achieve the greatest possible level of sales, rather than profit maximization. On a day-to-day basis, most real world firms probably do try to maximize sales rather than profit. For firms operating in relatively competitive markets, facing relative fixed prices, and relatively constant average cost, then increasing sales is bound to increase profits, too. Moreover, according to the notion of natural selection, even firms that seek to maximize sales, those that also maximize profit will remain in business.

SYMPATHY STRIKE: A labor strike undertaken by a union without particular grievances against a firm to show support for a strike undertaken by a second union that does have grievances with the firm. The primary purpose of a sympathy strike is to demonstrate solidarity among unions. However, given labor laws, such a strike can create problems for the sympathetic union.
