B)    Yes, it is important that dogs are properly exercised and ideally they should be allowed to be free to run off the lead without restriction.

C)    No, it is the responsibility of dog-owners and not local councils to find somewhere to exercise dogs safely away from people and dangerous traffic.

To help low-paid workers, should a maximum wage be established so that the highest-paid workers in an organization may be paid no more than ten times what the lowest-paid receive?

Select the strongest argument from the statements below.

A)   Yes, because a maximum wage would effectively mean a pay cut for the highest-paid if their pay was limited to no more than ten times the income of the lower paid in the organization.

B)   Yes, because a maximum wage for the highest-paid would enable an organization to manage costs, payrises for senior staff would also have a knock-on effect; increasing wages for low-paid workers.

C)   No, a maximum wage would remove incentives for the highest paid to make the organization grow and succeed, and do nothing to help the low-paid; the ceiling should be fifty times the lowest paid not ten times.

D)   No, a maximum wage would damage the organization because it would mean there was no relationship between pay and levels of productivity in the workforce, workers currently earn as much as their performance justifies.

For a business, where a time lag of a few milliseconds is not critical to its operations, a cloud can open up new possibilities. Beneficial for an average enterprise, cloud platforms do not require capital expenses-like investments in servers and software-but only operational expenses. Companies that use the cloud resolve recovery issues nearly four times faster than other companies. Companies that do not use the cloud spend an alarming eight hours, on an average, recovering from data disasters. Having the institutional bias of doing everything internally may prevent a large scale company from taking advantage of the cloud.
