Answer to Question 1

This statement could be interpreted as a normative statement but ironically it may actually be a positive statement. That is it may be a statement that can be verified with the use of logic. Whether it can be proved or not or whether it is true or not is not the issue. It is a statement of fact.

Answer to Question 2

There are three main ways to improve technology. First, the entrepreneur could install the most up-to-date equipment and machinery. Second the owner could implement an on-the-job training program to improve the skills of his workers. He could even send a few of his workers to college. Finally, the owner could develop better means of organizing and managing the production process.
