As this high school grading period’s entries draw to a blissful close, I am sapped of certain resources that would have allowed me to perform thorough research. As such, I will be basing my final two posts on information that I have acquired over the several years of my life, as well as employing my limited literary resources. Consider the following installments “medleys” of my thoughts regarding numerous corporations.
Perhaps encroaching upon the weblog commodities provided by a certain James Loving, I now present a subjectively interesting fact. Pearson, the purveyor of educational software and electronic resources, is a corporation. I believe that it is, in fact, one of a privately operated nature. Despite this, Pearson is the standard of certain education services, effectively granting them a state-sanctioned monopoly. Monopolies are often regarded as detrimental to the diminutive consumer, but the reasons for this upon which are not often ruminated. In the absence of greater public awareness, I will provide my understanding. A monopoly allows a company to perform operations unrivaled, creating an arguably false value for its goods and services. Hence, the United States government has enacted legislature to place limits on, or check, any company that fosters a monopoly, as well as those that operate under oligopolies. However, a government has given a degree of flaccidity to these laws to support education. Of course, there is an opposite side to this proverbial coin. It is crucial to students to maintain a consistency in educational services and products, excusing, or even mandating, this relaxation of legislature.
I quite enjoy discourse on general business trends, and I intend to highlight such writings in my final quarter of publishing Cool Companies.
