...INTRODUCTION This statistical project focuses on vehicles. These vehicles are a sample of 93 vehicles from a population of different models of cars by different manufactures in the USA. The 93 vehicles are categorized into six types being compact, small, mid-size, large, sporty and van respectively. To analyze the data in the data set of vehicles provided, two aims set out as guidelines are stipulated. The first aim is to compare price and mpg across categories of vehicles being compact, small, mid-size, large, sporty and van. To archive the first aim, price variables of both basic and top price are to be grouped according to the six car types. The mpg variables of mpg town and mpg best are also to be grouped according to the six car types. The Analysis Toolpak in Tools within Excel is then to be used to create tables for the price variables showing all descriptive statistics with the mean, median, standard deviation, range, skew measure, standard error, sum, count and coefficient of variation which is to be manually added in one table. There is to be an interpretation at the end of each table which includes concerns about the differences in the mean prices and mean mpg across vehicle types and the possible causes depending on whether it’s a mpg or price table. The distribution of price and mpg shapes across each vehicle type and what it means. Confidence intervals are to be used to talk about prices in the population of cars. Several differences of means tests on both prices...

...Market Overview of Caruthersville Jeffrey Tarpley ECO204: Principles of Microeconomics Nicholas Bergan October 7, 2013 Market Overview of Caruthersville Jeffrey Tarpley ECO204: Principles of Microeconomics Nicholas Bergan October 7, 2013 The town of Caruthersville Missouri has a diversified market structure on the local level. It has some businesses that supply products on a national level and even on the international level. The objective is to find what is presently here and what can be done to improve the business environment in Caruthersville. Lets begin by looking at the types of market structures. A large number of buyers and sellers, ease of entry and exit in the industry, perfect knowledge, and mobility of resources characterize perfect competition market. (Amacher & Pate, 2013, p. 9.1) A market structure that has only one seller of a product with no close substitutes is considered a monopoly. Many firms selling differentiated products with easy entry and exit in the industry are called monopolistic competition. A few firms competing with mutual interdependence in the market is called oligopoly. The structure called oligopoly is sometimes viewed as a shared monopoly. (Amacher & Pate, 2013, p. 11.4) Internet providers would fall into this category; they seem to offer the same service at relatively the same price level. There seems to be obstacles of government regulations and licensing that help to deter new competition from entering...

...JUDGMENT- (n.) the ability to make considered decisions or come sensible conclusions. Everyone in Maycomb is judgemental which’s Maycomb’s disease. Racism, the amount of money and a social hierarchy are social issues of the town that socially determined their worth. In the story the setting of Maycomb is the true antagonist. Skin color makes a man in society. Atticus, a lawyer and probably the fairest man in Maycomb, defends black man Tom Robinson. Atticus is a true rarity, because he’s a white man who’s intelligent and has money, who respects blacks fairly. In court Atticus makes a bold move by saying,”But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal..” (Lee, 27). Atticus stands up for Tom Robinson, which makes him hated by racist white men. White men like Bob Ewell, Bob Ewell has Maycomb’s ‘disease’. Bob is a lazy and insane drunk poor man who accuses Tom Robinson of raping his daughter. Tom Robinson is a disabled black man who’s affected by Maycomb’s disease. Tom gets wrongly accused, and ends up dead because of it,Tom was innocent, but because of his skin color he was found guilty. Racism is a big social issue, which affects everyone’s lives....

...Salary and Wages in Malaysia by Rohayu Abd. Ghani Rasidah Arshad Fazli Idris Rozhan Othman Noreha Halid June M.L. Poon Ayu Trisna University Kebangsaaan Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor This paper discusses the compensation practices in Malaysia against the backdrop of the legal framework for wage and salary deterinatio n. It also exa mines the Malay sian labo ur mark et situation a nd trends in salary and wage administration together with the role of unions in compensation determination. INTRODUCTION Malaysia is a country of more than 20 million located at the southernmost tip of mainland Asia. Besides being a leading exporter of commodities such as natural rubber, tin, palm oil, timber, petroleum, and natural gas, Malaysia is also one of the world’s leading exporters of electronic semicond uctors, roo m air-cond itioners, and a udiovisual e quipmen t. Prior to July 199 7, Asia was seen as a region exemplifying success in economic growth and development. Between 1991 to 1996, the Malaysian econom y grew at an ave rage rate of m ore than 8% . Howev er, Mala ysia could no t shield itself from being negatively impacted by the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis where the nation suffered a 7.5% c ontraction in its Gross D omestic P roduct (G DP) in 1 998. In 2000, M alaysia had a workforce (defined as persons between 15-64 years old) of slightly above 9 million. About 60% of the workforce were below 35 years of age.

...Essay The rate of changes in organizations has been increased by a diversity of external forces such as intensified global competition, the increases in technology, reduced revenues and customer dissatisfaction (Attaran, 2004). These changes have led to a rise in downsizing, restructuring, reorganization, mergers and acquisitions. Nevertheless, most entrepreneurs’ efforts in changing organizations have failed to achieve the expected outcomes in terms of revenue growth, cost reduction, productivity and employees’ commitment (Marks, 2006). Although the failure of organizational changes is attributed by several various elements, Seo et al (2012) suggested that the human factor, particularly leaders, plays the most significant role in delivering the effectiveness of organizational change. Consequently, it is necessary to investigate leadership theories and how effectively it may result in effective organizational change. Firstly, the transformational leadership concept will be analyzed to evaluate their contribution to corporate changes. Subsequently, the case of ‘Centurion operation at Philips Electronics’ is applied to reflect this theory in practice. The third sector will examine the role of culture leadership in organisational changes. Finally, the insights of this theory will be assessed through one practical example in relation to mergers and acquisitions among companies, Renault-Nissan and Daimlerchrysler-Mitsubishi . Transformational leadership effectively changes organizations...

The town has taken enthusiastically to the idea of a revival of the midsummer celebration of its heritage, talents and interests. There was a latent hunger for a fuller cultural and community life - a hunger which helped secure the success of the Barnaby Festival. This evaluation demonstrates how the benefits to the town extend from the immediate economic impact to a more substantial social and cultural legacy. There is a widely held feeling that the Festival has been the catalyst for a growth in confidence and sense of identity, and has heralded a richer civic life in Macclesfield. Barnaby 2012 has again been a huge task for the team of volunteers and would have been impossible without the unstinting...
