...Chapter 5 Page 187 1. Madeira looks to seek damages under the New York Scaffold Law. The company objected on the basis that he was an undocumented immigrant. He lost his past and future earnings, so the court allowed Madera to receive these benefits. He was seriously injured, which caused him to get compensation. 2. There are many things that contribute to the declining number of deaths in the construction industry. There are more and more workplace laws that come into effect every year. These laws come with very harsh punishments for companies, which in turn gives them greater incentive to keep their workers as safe as possible. The companies issue training to employees, have monthly safety meetings, and provide the proper safety gear for their employees due to the job they are doing. 3. When construction happens in urban areas there should be stricter rules and regulations. I find it very unethical that these companies are taking short cuts that end up costing people their lives. The company that is cutting corners is not a company that is good for its employees. Especially when these incidents lead to the deaths of their employees. Page 190 1. I feel like global slavery has a good impact on the health of ordinary workers. We see how these people that are enslaved are treated, the things they have to go through, and the abuse that comes to them. This opens the eyes of our people and which in turn makes people value their workers more. Laws for workplace safety...

You are an employee of a U.S. firm that produces personal computers in Thailand and then exports them to the Unites States and other countries for the sale.

...FOUNDATIONS OF TAOIST PRACTICE by Jampa Mackenzie Stewart When you try to define Taoism, you immediately run into trouble. The great Taoist philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu, begins his first chapter with the warning words, The Tao that can be described is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. Thus Westerners are not the only ones who have a hard time defining Taoism; the Chinese have had difficulty time agreeing on just what Taoism is for millenia. Taoism is sometimes defined as a ritualistic religion, as a philosophy, as Chinese folk religion, as alchemy, as a system of magical lore, or as a series of health practices similar to yoga. The adherants of each school often look with disdain on the others as being heterodoxy, heresy, or simply incomplete portions of the great Tao. The Chinese word Tao (pronounced "dow") means "the way, the path." In the common sense it refers to the way of doing anything, or the pathway to some destination. In its higher meaning, Tao refers to the way of the universe, the way things are. As a spiritual system, Tao means the way to achieving a true understanding of the nature of mind and reality, to the way of living in harmony with the changes of Nature. Thus the Tao is the goal, the path and the journey all in one. A Taoist then, is "a follower of the Way," the same title by which the early Buddhists and Christians dubbed themselves. The earliest Taoists appeared at least four thousand years...

...Chapter 5—Inventory Merchandiser Makes a profit by buying and selling merchandise. A wholesaler is an intermediary that buys goods from manufacturers or other wholesalers and sells them to retailers or other wholesalers. A retailer buys goods from manufacturers or wholesalers and sells directly to consumers Operating cycle for Merchandisers Begins with the purchase of inventory and ends when cash is received from selling the inventory. Manufacturer Makes a profit by buying raw materials and transforming them into finished goods that can be sold. Operating cycle for Manufacturers Begins with the purchase of raw materials and ends when cash is received from selling the finished goods inventory. Net Income for Merchandisers and Manufacturers First gross profit is determined by subtracting cost of goods sold from net sales. Then net income is determined by subtracting other expenses from gross profit. Gross Profit (gross margin) Sales revenue minus cost of goods sold Inventory cost the cost of any asset, including inventory, is the sum of all the costs incurred to bring the asset to its intended use, including delivery and installations costs, insurance and storage costs, sales and excise taxes, and subtracting any discounts or allowances. Three types of Inventory Costs (Managerial Accounting) 1) Direct materials are the materials used to make the product. 2) Direct labor is the cost of paying workers to make the product. 3) Manufacturing...

...Brett Simons Chapter 5: Cross-cultural Negotiation & Decision Making Negotiation The chapter starts with defining negotiation as the process of discussion by which two or more parties aim for mutually acceptable agreement. It also states that the art of negotiation is widely considered the most important skill in International Business. I find that very interesting and kind of a surprise to me, but when you think about it, all business interactions are based on some type of negotiations (even meaningless stuff like meeting times). Because of this, negotiations also affect the ability for a manager to implement strategy. Finally, just like the running theme of this book, ignorance and poor research of native bargaining rituals, can cause unimpressive result. The Negotiation Process The process in which proper negotiation occurs is broken down into five stages. The first stage is preparation. This, to me, is the most important stage of the process. Before you can move on to any other stage effectively, you have to have done your homework as a manager. The second stage is building a relationship. You need to get to know your counterpart and their positions. It helps you stay ahead of their responses so you can react to them more effectively. The third stage is the exchange of task related information. This can include presentations and such but can be tricky when dealing with different cultures. As the book points out, researching how different cultures interact...

...CHAPTER 5: ACTIVITY-BASED COSTING AND MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS 5-1 Product costs are likely distorted when a firm uses a volume-based rate if the plant has more than one activity in its operations and not all activities consume overhead in the same proportion. The more diverse the product mixes of the plant are in volume, sizes, manufacturing processes, or product complexities, the greater the cost distortions are likely to be in using a volume-based rate. Undercosting a product may appear to have increased the reported profit the product earned (assuming the firm did not lower its selling price because of the reported lower product cost). However, the increased profit is, at best, a twist in truth. Costs of the product not charged to the product itself are borne by other products of the firm. Worse, undercosting a product may result in managers erroneously believing the product to be more profitable than other products and shifting the limited resource the firm has into manufacturing, promotion, and sales of the product when, in fact, other products are more profitable to the firm. Severe cost distortions may lead firms not to drop unprofitable products because the cost data show these products are profitable. 5-3 Overcosting does not increase revenues. A firm can increase the selling price of a product, thereby increasing the total revenue from the product only if the market allows. Increases in the selling price of a product without experiencing noticeable decrease in the sales...

...WORLD MUSIC CHAPTER 5 1. Why does the Indian classical tradition dominate the musical image of South Asia in the west? The classical music of India has gained most of the attention of outsiders probably due to the colonization era that has brought Indo-European invaders (Aryan Civilization) into their territory between 2000 and 1500 BCE due to the presence of rich resources. However, Indian music, unlike the communal music of Africa and Southeast Asia, is individual and often virtuosic and can be both vocal and instrumental. The Hindustani one (North) is more appealing to the Western society as it is more instrumental based, whereas the Carnatic (south) one is more vocally oriented. Another factor that attracts the Western attention to Indian Classical Music is the presence of virtuosic improvisation. 2. Discuss the following terms important to a Hindustani classical musical performance Raga, Alap, Gat, Tala, Rasa? Raga: long Hindustani instrumental improvisations. Several things stand out to the first-time listeners: twangy buzz of introductory instruments, constant ornamentation and pitch bending of main melodic part, and tension changes. The word raga (color, atmosphere) denotes a comprehensive system for the simultaneous composition and performance struggle. Alap: the opening section of a raga performance in which the performer “explores” the raga. It can last for a mere minute or so or even be extended for an hour or more. Gat: the skeletal melody used as a...
