...Ongoing Concern: Risk Management at Pakistan International Airlines1 Ch. Ahmed Mukhtar, Chairman Pakistan International Airline Corporation (PIAC) was reading the final version of the PIAC audited annual report. He immediately called the Managing Director, PIAC to arrange a meeting to discuss the auditor’s report. The particular part of auditors’ opinion that caught his attention was the following: “We draw attention to note 1.2 to the unconsolidated financial statements, which states that the Corporation incurred a loss of Rs. 26,767.207 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, resulting in accumulated loss of Rs. 119,016.727 million as of December 31, 2011, and as of that date, the Corporation’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 88,221.403 million. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.” The agenda of the meeting was quite clear i.e., how to keep PIA solvent. PIAC Brief History2: In 1946 Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah realized the need for an airline network for the forming country and ask for the help of an industrialist Mirza Ahmad Ispahani to develop a flag carrier for the nation. Meanwhile, an airline called “Orient Airways”', registered in Calcutta, was formed on 23 October 1946. In May 1947 the airline was granted a license to fly. This was the first post-war airline flight...

...PESTE—Technological Factor Science and technology in Russia developed rapidly since the Age of Enlightenment, a cultural movement of beginning in the late 17th century emphasizing reasoning rather than tradition, establishing a strong culture of learning and innovation. In the 19th and 20th centuries the country produced a large number of notable scientists, making important contributions to the technology. Technological parks There are five massive technological parks in Russia. The Russian government has announced the building of the Skolkovo Innovation Center near Moscow, the capital city. This is going to be the biggest “silicon valley” in the world. It aims to attract technological companies to set up factories there and focus not only on the development of technology start-ups but also on marketing them. Skolkovo Innovation Center includes five clusters specializing in different areas of technology. The Skolkovo Innovation Center will certainly be an ideal place to invest in High Tech industries. (Refer to appendix 4J) Infrastructure According to the International Logistics Performance Index (LPI) in 2012, Russia is ranked 95th among 155 countries, scoring 2.58 upon 5. This indicator measures the quality of trade and transport related infrastructure such as ports, roads, railway etc. Being moderately developed in its infrastructure compared to many developing countries, it can attract a significant number of foreign investors. The upcoming 2014 Russia Winter Olympics...

...Global supply chain management Lecture 1: chapter 1 and 2 Overview Course and Supply Chain Management & Logistics A supply chain encompasses all activities associated with the flow and transformation of resources into goods and services and related flows of information. In this lecture, various nodes in a supply chain are treated. It will be explained in which ways flows of materials and information in supply chains can be managed. Logistics is defined as a part of the supply chain process. The logistics process can be divided into two parts, namely materials management and physical distribution. For both parts, decision problems and cost aspects are examined. Design and logistics aspects of products and services will be compared. We will discuss how to formulate objectives and constraints to measure the performance of logistics processes. Furthermore, several logistics control aspects are discussed. Finally, it is explained in which way logistics activities can be changed to operate abroad. Characteristics and specific aspects of global supply chains will be treated. Chapter 1 Operation and supply chain management = the design, operation and improvement of the system that create and deliver the firm’s primary products and services.

...Name: Course: College: Tutor: Date: To What Degree Did World War II Affect the American Society? World War II occurred between 1939 and 1945. It led to many developments, some of them positive, others negative. One of the effects of World War II in America is that it led to deaths of many Americans. Among these were soldiers and civilians. Some of them were shot while at the war front. Others died due to the harsh environment of the war. According to Somerville (2008) the war left about 418,500 Americans died. This was about 0.32% of the total population. World War II was the highest in position terms of cost in U.S. history with costs over $350 billion and more than 292,000 American military men killed in action. The war also led to the destruction of properties worth billions of shillings. It was an enormous blow to the American economy, although not as much as other countries suffered (Kenneth, 2007) World War II changed the American social structure in a number of ways which included the empowerment of women especially in the workforce. Also many minorities groups got more jobs beside the discrimination by the rich Americans. Also the divorce rate increased and many families were weakened. World War II did affect almost every sector and aspect of American life. The decade of economic hardship is clearly marked to be 1930's. In 1930, the Great Depression got deep, and millions of American citizens were forced out of their jobs. Americans had too little money to provide...

...1 PROBABILISTIC APPROACHES: SCENARIO ANALYSIS, DECISION TREES AND SIMULATIONS In the last chapter, we examined ways in which we can adjust the value of a risky asset for its risk. Notwithstanding their popularity, all of the approaches share a common theme. The riskiness of an asset is encapsulated in one number – a higher discount rate, lower cash flows or a discount to the value – and the computation almost always requires us to make assumptions (often unrealistic) about the nature of risk. In this chapter, we consider a different and potentially more informative way of assessing and presenting the risk in an investment. Rather than compute an expected value for an asset that that tries to reflect the different possible outcomes, we could provide information on what the value of the asset will be under each outcome or at least a subset of outcomes. We will begin this section by looking at the simplest version which is an analysis of an asset’s value under three scenarios – a best case, most likely case and worse case – and then extend the discussion to look at scenario analysis more generally. We will move on to examine the use of decision trees, a more complete approach to dealing with discrete risk. We will close the chapter by evaluating Monte Carlo simulations, the most complete approach of assessing risk across the spectrum. Scenario Analysis The expected cash flows that we use to value risky assets can be estimated in one or two ways. They can represent a probability-weighted...

...How can art create different meanings, in society? An art not only enhances understanding of the world around us, but it also broadens our perspective on traditional values that we hold today in modern society. Arts give us the creativity to express ourselves and in result creating meaning and value through master pieces of art work in all shapes and sizes. All this while challenging our intellect The type of style van Gogh would like to work was as a post-impressionist painter and the reason towards this style of work was due to wanting to create art works which held noble beauty, emotional honestly and bold colour all in one. Van Gogh learned his skills and developed his ideas in his early years by looking and copying paintings which he was most interested in and reading 19th century drawing booklets. In addition he felt to be an amazing painter an artist most first master the art of pencil drawing therefore he felt it was very important to master black and white before even thinking about adding and using colour and in such when he was happy with his drawing then he would add colour. Drawing in a whole allowed van Gogh to take in light and pictures much faster than painting and this lead to van Gogh firstly drawing out his paintings instead of actually just painting them right away. One of van Gogh’s famous art works was “The starry night” and it was produced 1869. In this art work I can see a small hidden town hidden behind a large mountain in a distorted form...
