The ever-increasing power of the food industry makes a mockery of free enterprise, as farmers find markets difficult to enter (Merrigan, 1997). One supermarket in America advertises itself as supermarket to the world . Farms have got bigger in America, particularly in the livestock industry, with pigs housed in lots of 3000 or more, cattle herds numbering tens of thousands and broiler units of 500 000 hens these are in danger of becoming the norm. 

Meat producers often experience difficulty co-ordinating the complex management of production, processing, delivery and sales system required to target the restaurant market. Compared with wholesalers, individual restaurants do not use large quantities of meat. It would be advantageous for the farmer to be near a large metropolitan area with numerous restaurants. Access to a variety of restaurants will allow the farmer to use up more of his animal. The norm is for the farmer to establish a route and deliver once or twice a week. The farmer could also sell meat bones to chefs who appreciate the quality for soup stock. 

Drug companies exist within a market economy and cannot be expected to deviate from the norms of that economy. By law, corporations have a "duty to put shareholders Interests above all others and no legal authority to serve any other interests" (Bakan 2004 36). Corporations are amoral they need to obey the law, but beyond that their obligation is to be as profitable as possible. Corporate social responsibility or anything that reduces profitability in the long term violates the corporation s fiduciary duty to its shareholders and leaves it vulnerable to a civil lawsuit. 

Selfishness works best, however, when combined with a modicum of honesty. Honesty should not be confused with altruism. I keep my promise to you not because I care about your welfare, but because 1 care about my reputation as a person of honor. Cutthroat competition in the market may coexist with norms of honesty and promise keeping. Unless constrained by... 

Lipids are important macromolecules in food. A food product s nutritional value as well as its flavor, texture, general palatability, and storage stability are affected by lipids. Therefore, both physical and chemical criteria are needed by the food processor to assess or monitor the quality of fats and oils. The basic characteristics of certain food items, such as edible oils, will be dependent upon their source. Variation from these norms can be ascertained before the oils are used in other foodstuffs. In effect, knowledge of the quality of the lipid before shipping the product to market, or use in fabricated foods, is of economic importance to the processor.

Participant Businesses should avoid being lock-stepped with their customers. Often they don t have very many customers, and their fortunes are tied very closely to their customers. If you do have a new idea that is not in the line of your present market, take it out of your company. Set it up separately so the project is not infected by the local culture, which doesn t allow anything beyond the norm. Move the idea to one side, set up a warehouse somewhere, and do it. Universities are another area where new ideas can be found that are worth funding. As an acquisition strategy, look for small companies for which you provide value, such as distribution. You may provide some good marketing information to them, but your new project should be a whole new technology. Get on the board of some small company and pay attention to that. 

Social responsibility under the present conditions of globalization reflects the whole complex of relations within the framework of a market economy. The most important component of social responsibility is the essence of business and its contribution to economy. But, business cannot exist isolated from society. It depends on a multitude of factors, important among which are human, organizational, and financial resources. Eventually, recognition of the economic potential of a country as a main element of the NSS will be the norm. 

Market considerations may play an important role in the feasibleness of this new extraction process by selling this output as a green salable product. Analyses of our raffinates, according to the European Norm for oils, confirmed that the olive oil thus obtained has all the characteristics for human use. 

While authorisation is a new instrument, the REACH provisions on marketing and use restrictions rearrange existing arrangements by moving the primary locus of decision-making from the Council of Ministers to the Commission, and by whittling away Member States residual powers to deviate from Community norms. 

Today regulatory authorities accept the principle of using a computer system for laboratory management and for controlling release of product to market, and it has now become the norm for laboratories to use LIMS. Regulatory inspections of laboratories often audit the use of LIMS. Typical areas of regulatory interest include ... 

Historically, the major players in the industry have been jacks-of-all-trades. Integrated businesses in which a single company controlled the entire process - from the supply of raw materials to the outlets for its products - were the norm. Because of the development of individual national markets and the lack of a significant pipeline infrastructure, Europe became even more integrated than North America. 

The introduction of a new technology is very much eased if the same norms and standards are applicable in all the markets of interest. In the past, differences in norms and standards have cost the consumers large sums of money (for example, in connection with video recorders and their tape media), and particularly in the automotive market, there are still no world-covering rules allowing an unmodified model to be sold everywhere.
