Until recently, a mining company’s data resided in the department that was responsible for that information. property data were on the computers in land administration, hydrocarbon data were in the well administration group, maps were found in the map department, and so on. the executive team concluded that this arrangement was dysfunctional, so the ceo announced that all information would be placed on a central server system in order to be widely accessible. if someone needs a color map, for example, he or she can retrieve it from the central server without going through the map department. rather than welcome the change, employees in several departments complained, offering several arguments why other groups should not have direct access to their data files. some departments tried to opt out of the centralized server system.

using the model of sources and contingencies of power, explain why some groups opposed the central server model of data access.

Suppose a firm faces a fixed price of output, 푝푝= 1200. the firm hires workers from a union at a daily wage, 푤푤, to produce output according to the production function 푞푞= 2퐸퐸12. there are 225 workers in the union. any union worker who does not work for this firm is guaranteed to find nonunion employment at a wage of $96 per day. a.what is the firm’s labor demand function? b.if the firm is allowed to choose 푤푤, but then the union decides how many workers to provide (up to 225) at that wage, what wage will the firm set? how many workers will the union provide? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? c.now suppose that the union sets the wage, but the firm decides how many workers to hire at that wage (up to 225). what wage will the union set to maximize the total income of all 225 workers? how many workers will the firm hire? what is the firm’s output and profit? what is the total income of the 225 union workers? [hint: to maximize total income of union, take the first order condition with respect to w and set equal to 0.]
