Wish little service productivity growth, the principal way of expanding output has been to add more bodies. Politicians love to take credit (31) an 18. 2 million increase in jobs in this decade, (32) in the service businesses firms essentially have been digging the Grand Canyon with millions of people equipped only with picks and shovels-more production but achieved by the brute-force technique of adding bodies, rather (33) by improving efficiency. The opportunities (34) improve service productivity through office automation, better management, etc. are tremendous, even (35) an increase in the skills of the rank and file. The pressure to get that improvement will come from the customers, themselves facing excruciating global competition. A manufacturer can be, doing a bang-up job of raising his own productivity. Furthermore, (36) the globalization of almost everything, service industries from finance (37) airlines are now experiencing direct international competition. And the deregulation of banking, trucking, telecommunications and other service industries has freshened the bracing winds of competition, forcing companies (38) AT£T and U. S. West to slash their workforces to dramatically improve productivity. A speed-up in productivity growth means that fewer additional service workers will be hired (39) non-manufacturing productivity had grown on trend in the last decade, jobs would have been creeled, and the current unemployment rate would be 13%, and if overall productivity growth in the next ten years averages 2%, the unemployment rate will still average about 10%.

Any slowdown in the labor supply will be more than compensated (40) by increased use of machinery and computers, and by people working better and smarter.

Both are thought to be an element of product strategy and many marketers even have called pachaing a fifth P. The main concern in designing packages for products, especially for new (21) is true (22) industrial goods and appliances whose sales are made from display models. From the (23) of marketing, packaging is of vital importance in sales promotion. Sales are (24) by packages that are visible, informative, emotionally appealing, and workable. Good packaging helps sell because (25) with high visibility are easier to find when they are displayed on store shelves. Design with good and useful information may help (26) customers and make them more (27) to decide to buy the goods. The (28) factor in packaging refers to the image that consumers form after viewing a product. (29) in packaging means that the container not only protects the product but is also easy to open and re-close, is readily stored, and has utility for secondary uses once the product is used up. For example, in China, some goods are packaged in a special container-a real cup, which can be used as a cup after the goods within are used up. The label may be a simple tag attached to the product or an elaborate designed (30) that is part of the package.
