Suppose the military bureaucracy consistently misinforms Congress on the total costs of producing military hardware. Assume that it underestimates the actual costs and that the political representatives believe these estimates. Show how this is likely to cause a loss in efficiency. Show the efficient output of military hardware, the output desired by the military bureaucracy, and how the output chosen will differ from the efficient output even if Congress attempts to achieve efficiency. In your answer, assume that the military seeks to maximize the size of its budget

However, the biggest and newest threat to Walgreens’ business was mail-order prescription sales managed by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), who work closely with companies, insurers, and health maintenance organizations to reduce pharmaceutical costs, which have been increasing an average of 13% per year.

Provide a conclusion for the following... DESCRIBE HOW EFFECTIVE AGRIBUSINESS MANAGERS LEVERAGE RESOURCES FOR EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT?

This will also help them to cope up with increasing demand in the market. In addition, they must implement new technologies with business management skills to improve their economic efficiency. Grants and other subsidies provided by the government also help them improve operational efficiency. They can…
