What are the implications of the changing population demographics for business firms? Changing the demographics of a company would be like transplanting the company from their propitious niche (Wheelen & Hunger, 2012, p. 177) to unfamiliar ground.

As the number of senior citizens increases and middle age individuals decreases their advertisements, and products must change with the…

Child Mortality and Population Growth The theory is that population growth has a positive relationship with child mortality. In order to know if the theory is correct, one has to define all the parts of the theory, the concepts, and the indicators. One needs to make sure that the theory and concept are testable, logically sound, communicable, parsimonious, and general.
