摘要:

The paper examines the nature and role of the boards of nationalized industries and arguments for consumer representatives to serve on them. It concludes in favour of consumer representation and argues that consumer councils should develop and publish consumer audits for their industry as this would both support the work of consumer board members and enhance the role of the councils as defenders of the consumer interest.

摘要:

The occurrence of unexpected housing defects and the expense of repair can be a sizeable burden for the unprepared home owner. Within the family management framework, unexpected event demands play an important role in the management of resources. To assess the dimension of the problem, a survey of recent home buyers was undertaken to provide empirical data on the incidence and cost of major housing problems, as well as characteristics of the buyer and homes purchased. Multiple regression and profit procedures were used to determine what factors were important in predicting incidence and cost of repair.

Therefore, it appears that the absolute amount of income was more important than its sources in determining expenditure
