possible about the field of sports management through various work experiences
with many different types of sports organizations. Through my experiences with

... companies cannot "cook the books" to artificially manipulate stock and bond prices. However, information technology and market dynamics are based upon the workings of ordinary people and diverse organizations, neither of which are arguably efficient nor consistent. Therefore, we have the basic contradiction of EMT: How can a theory based on objective mechanical efficiency hold up when applied to subjective human inefficiency?

... their own faults and try to change them. We all know stealing is wrong, but some of us do anyway. We need to ask ourselves why and then understand we need to stop.
Other people may think that is stimulated by immoral leaders. This is partially true. Leaders like Bill Clinton need to be moral to set a good example. But American citizens need to ask themselves: “Who elected him to office, twice?” The answer: a society of generally immoral people.
