...levels of military spending, a large number of opportunities are available to companies keen to supply the nation with defense equipment; however, pressure to reduce the debt burden after the US financial crisis has shown a negative impact on the government budget and caused cuts in defense budget as well. A side effect of the uncertainty and budget cuts in the U.S. is strong industry interest in international sales. Defense companies that have never worked abroad are now eyeing the international market as a way to diversify their sales and balance out volatility in the U.S. market.

...FINAL PROJECT: HISTORICAL TIMELINE AND ESSAY Final Project: Historical Timeline and Essay Jennifer Mullins Axia College of the University of Phoenix Historical Timeline and Essay: The Civil War The first shots were fired on April 12, 1861 from Fort Sumter, South Carolina beginning a four-year battle that would end on April 9, 1865, when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered in Appomattox, Virginia to Union General Ulysses S. Grant, ending what became known as the American Civil War (Davidson, Gienapp, Heyrman, Lytle, and Stoff, 2006). In the aftermath of the Revolutionary War, America went into two different economical directions: the North became industrial the South agricultural. Although it is believed the underlying cause behind the Civil War was due to the abolition of slavery (slaves were considered a major asset in the southern states), the following timeline shows there were many other factors involved as well. From the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the firing of the first shots at Fort Sumter, America’s journey for equality and unity was a hard one, leaving in its wake destruction, discord, and civil unrest. ____________________________________________________________ ____________ 1776: Declaration of Independence • Was written by Thomas Jefferson • Was signed on July 4th, severing all ties to Britain 1787: Northwest Ordinance • Was passed on July 13th establishing the intent to expand into the West adding...

This can be closely related to the environmental impacts that happen within an economy, such as depleting natural resources (Sieminski). The variations of different countries economic performance and within their regions are considerable (Bodie). What happens in other countries’ economies will influence the U.S. economy and its markets in either a negative or positive way depending on the economic circumstance. What is originally forecasted for the macroeconomic expectations through various analyses may not be the overall outcome. The global economy as a whole can be a very critical factor of industry performance, and if an economy is not expanding it can be difficult for a business to be successful (Bodie). Influences that are capable of impacting an economy are growth rates, unemployment rate, interest rates, exchange rates,...

...eighth largest economy in the world, its impact on the overall U.S. economy is much larger when this “multiplier effect” is taken into account. And reports of the demise of the manufacturing economy in the 21st century are clearly premature. While the general public perceives a manufacturing sector marked primarily by a loss of jobs, the facts about the industry paint a different picture. The United States is the world's largest manufacturing economy, producing 21 percent of global manufactured products. China is second at 15 percent and Japan is third at 12 percent. U.S. manufacturing produces $1.6 trillion of value each year, or 11.2 percent of U.S. GDP. Manufacturing supports an estimated 18.6 million jobs in the U.S.—about one in six private sector jobs. Nearly 12 million Americans (or 9 percent of the workforce) are employed directly in manufacturing. In 2009, the average U.S. manufacturing worker earned $74,447 annually, including pay and benefits. The average non-manufacturing worker earned $63,122 annually. U.S. manufacturers are the most productive workers in the world—twice as productive as workers in the next 10 leading manufacturing economies. U.S. manufacturers perform two-thirds of all R&D in the nation, driving more innovation than any other sector. Taken alone, U.S. Manufacturing would be the 9th largest economy in the world. 2.

...international business, whether it was the leading country in the First Industrial Revolution or finding new ways of exploiting untapped markets and resources. The company currently known as BP is one of those exemplary firms in this discussion. Throughout its history, BP has had many names, originally formed as Anglo- Persian Oil (1909-1935), political developments led to “The Company” being renamed Anglo- Iranian Oil (1935-1954), British Petroleum (1954-2000), and currently, simply BP with the tagline “beyond petroleum.” The numerous name changes highlight one of the most significant aspects of the Company’s existence, the relationship between it and different governments. It also highlights one of BP’s core competencies, which is its constant re-branding and reinvention of itself as the latest “bp: beyond petroleum” is an effort to appear more environmentally friendly. Contracts tied the Company to Persian authorities as the Shah granted William Knox D’Arcy a concession to explore for oil. Their relationship with the UK was necessary for financing, as the British government would partially nationalize Anglo-Persian Oil. A chief contributor to the development of Second Industrial Revolution (1840’s-1950’s), the BP company began with an investment by William Knox D’Arcy, a man who was more of a financier than an entrepreneur. During the Second Industrial Revolution, in a range of industries, giant corporations arose to establish...

...In 1889, a well-known Manila businessman, Don Enrique María Barretto de Ycaza y Esteban, applied for a royal grant from Spain to establish a brewery in the Philippines. He was awarded the grant for a period of twenty years. On September 29, 1890 (Michaelmas, or the feast day of Saint Michael the Archangel), La Fábrica de Cerveza de San Miguel was declared open for business. Located at 6 Calzada de Malacañang(later called Calle Avilés), the brewery took its name from its neighbourhood, the arrabal(suburb or district) of San Miguel. The facility had two sections: one devoted to the production of ice with a daily capacity of 5 tonnes, and the other to beer production. The brewery was the first in Southeast Asia using the most modern equipment and facilities of the day. With 70 employees, the plant produced 3,600 hectolitres (about 47,000 cases) of lager beer during the first year and subsequently produced other types of beer, notably Cerveza Negra, Eagle Extra Stout and Doble Bock. Early success led to the expansion of the business and Barretto decided to incorporate his brewery. On 6 June 1893, the company was incorporated and registered with a capital of P180,000. Those forming the corporation were Don Pedro Pablo Róxas y Castro, Don Gonzalo Tuasón y Patiño, Don Vicente D. Fernández y Castro, Don Albino Goyenechea, Benito Legarda y Tuáson, the heirs of Don Mariano Buenaventura y Chuidan and Barretto. Róxas was soon appointed manager, playing a prominent role in the development...

...Research Based Argument Paper David Odenweller 05/04/2014 Welcome to the machine Hydraulic fracturing has become one of the key issues of our time, due to the important part it plays in our nation’s ambitions for a clean and sustainable energy future. Due to recent technological advances in horizontal drilling techniques, the vast natural gas reserves found within the shale formations underground in the United States have become easily accessible. Responsible development of these resources is believed to be key to a sustainable financial, and environmentally prosperous future for America. However, recent environmental and health concerns beg to differ, and question whether these new developments pose more of a threat to americans than they are worth. Nature sustains life on our planet. Humans have developed an organization of society that runs on machines. What does it take to run the machines that power our world? Our society also runs on money. So anything that plays into the running of our society must must invariably be tied to how it profits the people in charge of running things. How does it benefit us as a whole? This question is larger than the debate which this paper addresses, yet it is valid in that it is an overarching theme that drives the situation behind the issues within. A big part of what our economy has deemed is important in order to sustain the current level of comfort that we have been sold is largely based on non-renewable energy sources such as...

...Social and Development Sciences Vol. 1, No. 3, pp. 91-100, Apr 2011 Constraints of Manufacture based Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Development in Bangladesh 1Business Feroz Ahmed1, *Md. Mizanur Rahman1, Monimul Haque2 Administration Discipline, Khulna University, Bangladesh 2Department of Finance and Banking, University of Rajshahi *mizanurku03@yahoo.com Abstract: Small and medium enterprises (henceforth, SMEs) play a key role in economic growth and industrial development of a country. They make vital contributions in improving economic and social sectors of a country through stimulating large scale employment, investment, development of indigenous skill and technology, promotion of entrepreneurship and innovativeness, enhancing exports, and also building an industrial base at different scales. SMEs worldwide have been benefited from the combined interactions of forces of product mix, location factors, and market advantages. However, evidences also suggest that there are cases of SME failures. Growth of SMEs is constrained by many factors. Many SMEs occasionally go on growing into large firms. This paper looks for identifying such constraints of manufacture based SME Development in Bangladesh. From the study, it has been identified that, lack of utility facilities, for example, electricity, gas and water, frequent changes of the prices of raw materials as well as shortage of raw materials, political unrest, high interest rate on borrowings, high transportation cost, lack...

...Reliance About the Company: 1991, Reliance industries set up a new subsidiary, Reliance Refineries Private Ltd. The subsidiary later changed its name to Reliance Petroleum Limited, and in 1993 launched a public offering, which at that time was India's largest ever IPO. Reliance continued to pioneer financing channels in India. In 1993, for example, the company became the first Indian company to raise capital on the foreign market, through a Global Depositary Receipt(GDR) issue in Luxembtheirg. The company completed a second successful GDR issue in 1994. The company used the new capital in part to expand its petrochemicals wing, building the world's largest multi-feed cracker at the Hazira site. The company also added production plants for mono ethylene glycol, polyethylene, and purified terephthalic acid. The new units launched production in 1998.Reliance's opportunity for entry into petroleum refining came in 1997, when the Indian oil industry reached a state of near collapse. Unable to fund further exploration operations, and lacking the capital to expand its existing production, the government was forced to liberalize the sector. In that year, Reliance announced a plan to build one of the world's largest and most modern petroleum refining complexes in Jamnagar, Gujarat, at a cost of some $6 billion. The government agreed to the plan, and granted the company the right to import petroleum directly, rather than going through Indian Oil, which helped Reliance greatly drive...
