Cost-of-production theory of value

A recent visit to our Uruguay production facility, we identified that our processing methods may no longer satisfy the requirements of the “Organic” label on the Perfect Delight product. Perfect Delight Peanut Butter is a flagship product, which consequently accounts for 2/3s of our sales portfolio. The production modification occurred several months ago, and has improved the shelf stability of Perfect Delight, as well as reduced product cost. We regularly look develop our products, however there are significant concerns with the new formula. The benefits were created by including 10% Soybean Butter, grown and produced from genetically modified (GM) seeds, as is the standard for soybean production in Uruguay. It is necessary to realize that this modified formula has created a series of challenges to require attention. The first issue to address is the Organic and GM status of the product Perfect…

are many goods and services available in the modern era with prices and value being very distinct, but the question arises, what determines the value of a good and why does the value of a good fluctuate as time passes? Thus came about the labour theory of value. “The labour theory of value can be stated simply as the principle that the source of the value added of the mass of commodities produced is the labour expended in producing them”(Foley,1986,P.14). Many economists made the attempt to…

The Flawed Labour Theory of Value “Value theory is the core of Ricardo’s economics, and consequently the core of classical economics” (Senga, 2017, p.198). Having orientated Ricardo’s writing in the context of his predecessors and contemporaries, this essay hopes to have now highlighted the extent to which Ricardian thought developed naturally in line with classical economics. We shall now move to address two divisive elements of Ricardian thought, which are claimed to constitute a detour;…

Spencer (2000) presented a case study to examine an organization that has implemented all three branches of the theory of constraints (TOC) into their operations to form a continuous improvement…

3.3 Cultural control By giving autonomy to workers, it is even harder for managers to control. How can managers ensure that workers will make decisions along with company’s objectives? According to Martin (1992), when employees have high autonomy, it is hard to coordinate between each individuals in workplace. To counteract, Peter and Waterman (1982) emphasised on what they call corporate culture. When companies have corporate culture, there is no conflict of value between worker and company.…

many economists (from Grazia Ietto-Gillies [3] prior Stephen Hymer’s [4]) have created theories regarding direct investment, which explained the causes of FDI and reasons for TNC by neoclassical economics based on macro economic principles. These theories were based on the classical theory of trade. In this theory the motive for trade was a result of the difference in the costs of production of goods between two countries. The main motive for a company’s foreign activity in these theories is low…
