  Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. It is shown that $R$ is Artinian if
and only if every $R$-module is good, if and only if every $R$-module is
representable. As a result, it follows that every nonzero submodule of any
representable $R$-module is representable if and only if $R$ is Artinian. This
provides an answer to a question which is investigated in [{\bf 1}].
