- 2. Explain whether the following statement is true or false. "Governance is exercised only by the government of a country."arrow_forwardZTC was founded in 1956 by a British national, Mr. Roy Smith, in a British colony then known as Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The company’s core business was transporting copper from the mines in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) to Southern Rhodesia for onward transmission to overseas markets in Europe. This arrangement worked smoothly until 1965. On 11th November 1965, the white settlers in Southern Rhodesia, who were principally of British origin, unilaterally declared political independence from Britain.

Redeeming retailers could use the coupons as credits against invoices from Folger. For a time, Indian tried to retain its market share by matching Folger’s price concessions, but because Indian operated in only two areas, it could not subsidize such sales with profits from other areas. Indian, which finally was forced out of business in 1974, later filed a Robinson—Patman suit against Folger. At trial,…arrow_forward
