...Tutorial Week 13 Blackboard Questions and Solutions Chapter 21: Insolvency and Liquidation REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. Outline the role of an administrator appointed to a company which is insolvent. Once an administrator is appointed, what roles do the directors of the company have? If a company is insolvent, the directors can get themselves into serious trouble with the Law if they allow the company to continue to trade. According to Section 436A of the Act, directors are expected to appoint a voluntary administrator to the company even before it becomes insolvent: (1) A company may, by writing, appoint an administrator of the company if the board has resolved to the effect that: (a) in the opinion of the directors voting for the resolution, the company is insolvent, or is likely to become insolvent at some future time; and (b) an administrator of the company should be appointed. Section 437A(1) spells out the role of an administrator: (1) While a company is under administration, the administrator: (a) has control of the company’s business, property and affairs; and (b) may carry on that business and manage that property and those affairs; and (c) may terminate or dispose of all or part of that business, and may dispose of any of that property; and (d) may perform any function, and exercise any power, that the company or any of its officers could perform or exercise if the company were not under administration.

...Print Industry in Digital age Just like the experience of movie industry that I saw in “Side by Side”, the print industry also has experienced a great change from traditional to digital. In the past, printing industry used something like “ linotype, hot type, cold type, galley proofs, proof sheets, veloxes, matts, right reading emulsion side sown”(Custer, “The New Printing Industry”) and so on, but today, the industry become computerized, it means it become a kind of digital world. Just like movie, people combine the work mostly in computer but not the lab. The print industry was born with Gutenberg (“Changes In the Print Industry”). Gutenberg invented the printing press, it is a device for applying pressure to an inked surface resting upon a print medium, thereby transferring the ink. However, when we enter the digital age, digital print allows a customer to print small quantities of high targeted pieces on substrates that we never dreamed we could print. Just like making movie, over 100 years, people always used the film to make movie and the film only allowed them to shoot 10 minus, so everybody should keep a high level attention in this 10 minus. But the digital technology provides them longer time to shoot and less pressure for everyone in shooting scene. Very like the movie industry, the equipment in lab changed a lot. “Smaller print shops have advanced into the digital age and have found a niche” said by Ted Walker, who is a owner of The Pressroom at 1879 S...

...Education is now a global product. Educational worldwide are competing for student and finding more creative ways to satisfy student needs and preference and managing expectations. Colleges and universities serve a variety of customers. The student is the most immediate consumer of their services.

This is usually a certain qualification or certificate at the end of a certain period of study. To help market the school we need to ensure that the qualification gained by studying at the school is something that the student will benefit from either by gaining employment or moving on to a higher qualification. This means studying the education market and knowing for sure what the market needs. The qualification gained by the student has to be something the market needs. This means carefully studying the job market and the educational institutions market. 2- Consumer expectations: The marketing strategy should concentrate on bringing to consumer’s attention the number of past student who made it into higher educational institutes or gained employment because of qualifications or certificates gained at the school.

...------------------------------------------------- Practical Project Stage 1: Data Understanding and Business Opportunities Submitted By: Daniel Gosert (441686) Marvin Steiger (437143) Pramod Rathi (439352) Samuel Desguin (441838) Submitted By: Daniel Gosert (441686) Marvin Steiger (437143) Pramod Rathi (439352) Samuel Desguin (441838) In the first part of this practical project, we develop a model that helps the Venture Capital (VC) firm to identify good business opportunities, using the data provided by CrunchBase. In this context, we define “good business opportunities” as opportunities that are likely to be acquired and then sold profitably. Therefore, in our further analysis, we only consider companies that have been acquired (and that show on the “Acquisitions” tab of the excel file). With our application, we will provide the Venture Capital company with in-depth information that will help it decrease its risk of investing in companies that are likely to fail, and at the same time increase its opportunities for high return on investments. More precisely, with the support of our application, the VC company can predict the average return on investment of a potential target, identify both the most profitable industries and geographical areas and by that in consequence minimize its risk of investment. To do so, we go through three general stages. First, we compute the average return on investment that investors gained by investing in the companies of...

It is a managed park and is well taken care of. Where is it located? It is located in Portland on SW Marquam St & Sam Jackson Park Rd. • Size? The park is 178.25 Acres. • Predominant flora and fauna?

Others seen along the trails are Himalayan Blackberries, Moss/Lichen, English ivy, Giant Horsetail, Herb Robert and Sword Fern. • What is your hypothesis?

They are outside of their natural distribution area, and secondly, threaten biological diversity. • What do you hope to determine?

...SlingTV Launches new multi-stream product The article’s main theme revolves around ways in which Dish Network Corporation develops a multi-stream version of SlingTV, which is a streaming service. Users have the option of paying twenty dollars a month, instead of purchasing conventional cable services, which is considered a more affordable option. The product currently streams 21st Century Fox channels only, however there are attempts to collaborate with other channels in the near future. In spite of there being no clear signs yet, Disney is said to be added to SlingTV very soon. In addition, users are given the option of streaming on more than one device at a time using a single SlingTV, which is a service that was introduced due to popular demand. This new product targets customers that love sports because it is set to air the big NFL games shown on FOX and FOX Sports 1. I found this article very interesting because I’m a huge fan of streaming services. I believe that the traditional pay TV is overpriced and superfluous, because it offers an overabundance of channels that users generally disregard, making the service inefficient and not used to its full capacity. With the new version of the SlingTV, the product offers users exactly what they need and for a much lesser price. Dish network really focuses on ‘Ansoffs Opportunity Matrix’ when strategically developing their product. They have identified this new multi-stream product within the product development section.
