...Management Communications Final Exam Tuesday December 7, 2010 1. The basic principles of communication are: 1. Dynamic 2. Continuous 3. Circular - reciprocal 4. Unrepeatable - the effect first time will not be the same the 2nd time 5. Irreversible-what you said can’t be taken back 6. Complex-human beings interpret things differently based on culture, education, background I. The basics principles of communications affect my moral and ethical point of view in that you have to be always mindful of the way in which you communicate, that is, the way in which you receive and relay information. Because communications is dynamic and continuous, when I communicate I have to be aware of the cause and effect of what I am communicating. I have to ensure that I communicate effectively my beliefs and that I interpret correctly when I am on the receiving end. Communications is unrepeatable and irreversible which therefore means that I try not to purposefully misinterpret or mislead when I communicate. Also acting on improper or unethical behavior in the communication process is a part of upholding your end of the bargain as far as remaining ethical and promoting the same kind of behavior. II. Ethical economic view Point – From an economic view point, the complex principle of communications tells me that we value things differently across different cultures and...

...4. Chapter: Libee Migbar, page 63 “Around age thirteen, he started to go through a special transformation, an emotional maturity that my people call libee migbar, or developing a heart.” I made a connection between habesha and American language. Libee migbar translates to developing a heart in English. Around age thirteen the habesha would go through an emotional maturity. This transformation is similar to what we puberty. An exception is that America recognises it as a maturity of the body instead of maturity of emotions. For instance, Tewolde vandalized parking meters, looted Halloween baskets, and played many pranks. Post libee migbar Tewolde distributed money to people and places in need. For example, Tewolde financially supported the homeless man he met at the library. After going through libee migbar Tewolde was new man. Libee migbar and puberty came from different countries but with a similar concept. 5. Chapter: Libee Migbar, page 69 “But Tewolde never talked to the management, and he never graduated from high school. A drunk driver killed him midway through his senior year.”...

...The Souls of Black Folk – Chapter 13: Of the Coming of John James 2:1 My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others? James 5:7-8 Dear brothers and sisters, be patient as you wait for the Lord’s return. Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen. 8 You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near. He came to us from Altamaha, away down there beneath the gnarled oaks of Southeastern Georgia, where the sea croons to the sands and the sands listen till they sink half drowned beneath the waters, rising only here and there in long, low islands. The white folk of Altamaha voted John a good boy,—fine plough-hand, good in the...

...Case Analysis: Loewen 1. Loewen was able to grow between 1990 and 1995 through pre-need sales, or sales of cemetery plots for future use. While the pre-arranged funeral service revenues could not be recognized immediately, revenues from the pre-sale of cemetery plots could be. With the Baby-Boomer generation aging into their 50s and 60s, this market represented the major source of growth in the early 1990s. We do not believe Loewen created value with this source of revenue as it was simply benefitting from these customers earlier than otherwise would have been expected.(What about investment income on Cash in Advance?). We feel that pre-selling the cemetery plots only served to steal from revenues that would have normally been expected in the future (may need to add quantitative analysis here). 2. Financial comparison between Loewen and SCI from 1996 to 1998: a. Gross Margin – While SCI enjoyed stable gross margins ranging from 31.08% to 30.58% from the period of 1996 to 1998, while Loewen’s gross margins over the same period declined from 36.54% to 25.68%, reduction to GM of 29.72% (see Financial Comparison Table below). Both companies shared the strategy of growing through acquisition, however SCI focused more on owning acquisitions outright and seemed to realize operational efficiencies and shared fixed costs demonstrated by their consistent GM. Loewen took a less invasive approach and almost requiring original management to remain in place for certain time...

...two types: liquidation and reorganization. The U.S. Court of Bankruptcy (2015), states that among the popular proceedings are chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13, which individuals and businesses use to file. Chapter 7 bankruptcies normally fall into the liquidation category. This means that an individual’s own property can be taken away and sold in the process of liquidation in order to pay back the debts. Conversely, chapter 13 bankruptcies fall under the reorganization category, meaning that the individuals will probably be able to keep their property, but they must submit and stick to a plan that will allow the person to repay some or all of their debts within 3 to 5 years. A case filed under chapter 11 of the United States bankruptcy code is frequently referred to as a reorganization bankruptcy. Its bankruptcy proceedings are usually employed by struggling businesses as a way to get their affairs in order and pay off their debts. In addition, some individuals also file for chapter 11 bankruptcy when they are not eligible for chapter 13 bankruptcy or own large amount of non-exempt property (like a home). However, chapter 11 can be much more expensive and time consuming when compared to chapter 13, and the individual will probably need to speak to a lawyer to decide whether chapter 11 is the right pick for them (U.S. Court for Bankruptcy, 2015). The chapter 12...

...Corporate Fraud and Schemes ACC 571 – Forensic Accounting October 20, 2014 Russell Wasendorf was the owner and chief executive officer of Peregrine Financial Group based in Cedar Falls Iowa. He stared the business in 1967 in Iowa and later decided to move the company to Chicago. Not long ago, he decided to move the company back to Iowa convincing many of his colleagues to move with him. Peregrine Financial Group had many customers and clients who trusted that the money invested and managed by Peregrine would be safe and potentially provide strong dividends in the future. In July 2012, the company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Russell Wasendoff was arrested for corporate fraud. According to the IRS (irs.gov), Wasendorf stole more than $215,000,000 from more than 13,000 victims over the course of nearly 20 years. The fraud that was committed was misappropriation of funds and falsifying bank statements. National Futures Association, the regulators for Peregrine, came to the harsh realization when they decided to change the audit procedure to online. According to New York Times (www.nytimes.com) “The N.F.A. was in the middle of changing part of its audit process to an online platform, where bank statement information would feed directly to the regulator. This month, Peregrine was facing its first audit under the new system, called confirmation.com, and Mr. Wasendorf was opposed to the system”. Previously, Wasendorf was the only person...

...Legal Environment of Business Unit 2 Discussion Board American Intercontinental University Online November 14, 2012 Legal Environment of Business There are three types of bankruptcy – Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13. This discussion board post will discuss who can file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Also discussed will be reasons why people file bankruptcy and how interest rates on loans and credit cards are affected by bankruptcy. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also referred to as liquidation, Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the reorganization of debt and Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the adjustment of debts of an individual with regular income (Types of Bankruptcy, 2011). An individual may file bankruptcy if they reside in the United States, within the last 6 years must not have been approved for a Chapter 7 release, and must not have been dismissed for bankruptcy filing within the last 180 days (Chapter 7, 2012). Within 6 months of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a person must also complete debt counseling classes and must pass a means test. A means test is a financial test given to see if a person qualifies for bankruptcy (Chapter 7, 2012). Although there are many reasons why a person would file for bankruptcy, only a few reasons will be mentioned in this discussion. The number one reason for filing for bankruptcy is medical expenses. Forty-two percent of those who filed for bankruptcy in 2010 were due to medical expenses. Twenty-two percent of bankruptcies were due to job loss...
