...“Examine the reasons why the League of Nations failed to preserve peace.” Weaknesses of the League of Nations The League of Nations came into existence on 10 January 1920 as a result of the First World War (WW1), it was one of Woodrow Wilson's 14 points to create a body that would settle international disputes in ways other than fighting / military action. He wanted to prevent another war like WW1. The main aims of the League of Nations were to maintain peace through collective security and to encourage international co-operation. The league had a number of successes, but a greater number of failures, thus it was not a complete failure in its attempt to preserve peace. The failures of the League of Nations were caused by their great amount of weaknesses. There was a lack of world powers, they lacked military power. They used economic or trade sanctions instead of force, that which they did not have. Their decision making ways were slow which led to a delay in their responses in problems. The leading members in the League of Nations had a greater self-interest for their own countries and their economic growth. In many circumstances the League of Nations was seen as weak and useless. As commonly known, one of its’ greatest weaknesses was the absence of the United States (U.S) despite the fact that it was Wilson, the president of the U.S who initiated the idea; when the American people voted for a policy of isolation, Wilson opted not to join the League of Nations.

...Challenges Facing Emirates Motor Company in the Importation of Automobiles from Germany to UAE Name of Student Name of Instructor Name of Institution Date of Submission Executive Summary There are a number of challenges faced by organizations wishing to conduct business with other firms in a foreign country. The reason behind this is that the organization will be required to engage either in the importation or exportation of goods or services. The Emirates Motor Company has for many years engaged in the importation of Mercedes Benz from Germany into the UAE. One of the major challenges that the organization has suffered is lack of sufficient funding. As such, the organization has not been in a position to fully exploit the UAE market. The company also has to deal with high cost of operations. Importation activities require firms to pay for shipping and loading charges for the goods. The importer also has to incur insurance charges. The costs result in an increase in the cost of commodities making them undesirable to customers. Delays in payment also make it difficult for the company to replenish its stock. Outline 1. Executive Summary 2. Introduction 3. Literature Review a) An Overview of the Emirates Motor Company’s Import Business b) History of Importation of Mercedes Benz Automobiles from Germany to the UAE c) External Analysis of the World Automobile Industry d) External Analysis of the Trade between the UAE and Germany in Automobiles ...

...Global Health: India Healthcare offers many opportunities and challenges for several countries. The purpose of this paper is to summarize India’s health care structure, health care policy, access to care issues, cost related to how much is spent, where the money comes from, and how it is spent, the role of nursing, and strengths and weaknesses of the system. In India, there has been a promising change over the last decade as the government has introduced many structural reforms and a private sector that has shown unprecedented growth. Despite these advances, the shifting demographics, socio-economic status, and changes in disease patterns is making a challenging journey more difficult (Binnendijk, Koren, & Dror, 2012). Three main challenges of India’s health care can be broadly defined as access, capacity to pay, and quality care. Healthcare challenges will become progressively more difficult over time as India is expected to be the most populated country in the world by 2028 (Haub, Gribble, & Jacobsen, 2011). India’s health care structure includes public and private hospitals, voluntary health agencies, national health programs, as well as traditional Ayurvedic medicine (Shrivastava, Shrivastava, & Ramasamy, 2013). The majority of health care centers are government owned and regulated. These urban centers have private hospitals that provide excellent care. The fragmented health care delivery means lots of small hospitals and clinics scattered over enormous geographical areas...

...Chapter: 1 SME Financing in Bangladesh We have come across many definitions of SMEs in Bangladesh. According to the Industrial Policy document from the Ministry of Industries, a small enterprise is defined as a registered enterprise with less than 50 workers, excluding the cottage units, and with a fixed capital investment of less than BDT 100 million. A medium enterprise is defined as a registered enterprise with between 50 and 99 workers, and/or with a fixed capital investment between BDT 100 million and BDT 300 million. The PCBs (Private Commercial Banks) seem to have various definitions based on loan components. The small-scale segment is in general defined as enterprises with a loan component between BDT 300,000 and BDT 10 million (between USD 5,500 and USD 185,000). Medium companies are said to have a loan component between BDT 10 million and BDT 100 million (between USD 185,000 and USD 1.85 million). Under yet another definition the World Bank estimates that Bangladesh has approximately 27,000 medium-scaled enterprises (here defined by the Government of Bangladesh as registered enterprises with assets larger than USD 600,000 equivalent) and 150,000 small-scale enterprises (registered enterprises with assets of less than USD 600,000 equivalent).

...Introduction Piracy is a form of theft. Specifically, it refers to the unauthorized copying or use of intellectual property. Intellectual property is knowledge or expression that is owned by someone. There are three major types of intellectual property: 1) creative works, including music, written material, movies, and software, which are protected by copyright law; 2) inventions, which are protected by patent law; and 3) brand-name products, which are protected by trademarks. Many of the issues surrounding piracy have to do with the difference between intellectual property and physical property. A CD, for example, is a piece of physical property, but the songs on the CD are intellectual property. A customer in a record store can purchase a CD, but someone else still owns—or more precisely, has the copyright to—the songs on the CD. Piracy is primarily a problem for the entertainment and software industries, and therefore piracy most often involves violations of copyright law. Copyright is a legal right that protects creative works from being reproduced, performed, or disseminated without permission of the copyright owner. Essentially, a copyright gives its owner the exclusive right to make copies of the material in question. The American Heritage Dictionary defines piracy as "the unauthorized duplication of copyrighted or patented material." It is a problem that affects companies all over the world. Piracy of software, movies, and music is commonplace in China. China...
