...* CASE STUDY “SFC Sharp and the SECRET Papers” Recently, you received an assignment as the communications and electronics staff NCO of the 99th Infantry Battalion. You are replacing SFC Sharp who is on the promotion list to master sergeant and is departing for his next duty assignment in two weeks. SFC Sharp’s welcome was impressive and he has done everything imaginable to ensure you’re getting off to a good start. Your Soldiers appear well trained, and your section sergeant, SGT Day, seems to know just about everything. You know you have big shoes to fill when SFC Sharp leaves because everyone seems to like and respect him. You’ve heard people say that he knows more about infantry operations than most infantry platoon sergeants. SFC Sharp has cleaned out his desk and tells you to make yourself at home. Later this afternoon he is receiving an award for his service to the 99th. His farewell party is this evening at the club. As you are setting up your things in your new desk, you discover some papers wedged between the wall and the side of the desk. You pull them out and discover that they are pages from a communication security book and marked “SECRET.” You attach a cover sheet to them and go into the security vault to talk to SGT Day. SGT Day checks the inventory and destruction certificates and discovers that SFC Sharp certified the destruction of the book these pages came from two weeks ago. Both you and SGT Day search the vault and the outer office for any other pages...

...EXCELSIOR COLLEGE LA498: MILITARY STUDIES CAPSTONE CLIFTON WEIGEL ETHICAL DILEMA IN THE MILITARY ETHICAL DILEMA IN THE MILITARY In the United States Army we are told to live by a set of “warrior Ethos” such as loyalty, respect, and self-less service but many times in our jobs we face ethical dilemmas that require us to not only invoke the Army values but our own personal code of ethics and morals. During my time in the US Army I have had the chance to serve as a recruiter and currently as an Army Reserve career counselor, in both jobs I have had to do some form of recruiting either as a traditional recruiter or by trying to recruit Soldiers in the Inactive Ready Reserve (IRR) to rejoining Troop Program Units (TPU). These jobs are rewarding but highly stressful. As a recruiter I was on a mission usually of having to recruit six people per month as an Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) or Army Reserve Recruiter, this was actually six times the mission of my active duty counterparts and in many occasion I was the only reserve recruiter in my recruiting station. During my time in recruiting there were many rumors about the lack of ethics within the Army Recruiting Command, such as recruiters forging documents, concealing law or medical issues, and even having sexual relationships with potential recruits or their parents to get them to join. This has been a stigma of recruiters for as long as I can remember even when I was recruited in 1987 my parents, teachers and friends...

...Journal of International Accounting, Auditing & Taxation 10 (2001) 139 –156 A study of the relationship between corporate governance structures and the extent of voluntary disclosure Simon S.M. Ho*, Kar Shun Wong School of Accountancy, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, N.T., Hong Kong Abstract The primary objective of this study is to test a theoretical framework relating four major corporate governance attributes with the extent of voluntary disclosure provided by listed firms in Hong Kong. These corporate governance attributes are the proportion of independent directors to total number of directors on the board, the existence of a voluntary audit committee, the existence of dominant personalities (CEO/Chairman duality), and the percentage of family members on the board. Using a weighted relative disclosure index for measuring voluntary disclosure, the results indicate that the existence of an audit committee is significantly and positively related to the extent of voluntary disclosure, while the percentage of family members on the board is negatively related to the extent of voluntary disclosure. The study provides empirical evidence to policy makers and regulators in East Asia for implementing the two new board governance requirements on audit committee and family control. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.

...appropriate for a process. After processing the data, it converts into information which is very essential for life of people, organizations and other work processes. Globalization and current trends demand from businesses actively reacting to any variations in environment or preferences of clients. As for that potential for collecting, analyzing and data processing is tremendously significant for any business. (Hox & Boeije, 2008) All above-stated, data, firstly, have to be collected. There are 2 main natures that data can be in: Qualitative data Based on the collection and analysis of non-numerical data qualitative data are used opinions, beliefs, motivation, criteria are needed to be found out. Commonly used questions in this case are "how?" and "why?" Qualitative data is less clear than quantitative, so their usefulness is largely dependent on the skills of the researcher. Group discussions, individual interviews, observations, and etc. usually are considered to be qualitative in nature. Qualitative research is often seen as preparation for the quantitative. As a rule, these types of data are difficult...

...The Indian Banking Sector On the Road to Progress G. H. Deolalkar G. H. Deolalkar is formerly Managing Director of State Bank of India. 60 A STUDY OF FINANCIAL MARKETS Overview of Banking and Financial Institutions The Banking Sector The banking system in India is significantly different from that of other Asian nations because of the country’s unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics. India has a large population and land size, a diverse culture, and extreme disparities in income, which are marked among its regions. There are high levels of illiteracy among a large percentage of its population but, at the same time, the country has a large reservoir of managerial and technologically advanced talents. Between about 30 and 35 percent of the population resides in metro and urban cities and the rest is spread in several semi-urban and rural centers. The country’s economic policy framework combines socialistic and capitalistic features with a heavy bias towards public sector investment. India has followed the path of growth-led exports rather than the “exportled growth” of other Asian economies, with emphasis on self-reliance through import substitution. These features are reflected in the structure, size, and diversity of the country’s banking and financial sector. The banking system has had to serve the goals of economic policies enunciated in successive fiveyear development plans, particularly concerning equitable income distribution, balanced...
