...It is fairly easy for a top executive to reduce the price of his/her company's stock – due to information asymmetry. The executive can accelerate accounting of expected expenses, delay accounting of expected revenue, engage in off balance sheet transactions to make the company's profitability appear temporarily poorer, or simply promote and report severely conservative (e.g. pessimistic) estimates of future earnings. Such seemingly adverse earnings news will be likely to (at least temporarily) reduce share price. (This is again due to information asymmetries since it is more common for top executives to do everything they can to window dress their company's earnings forecasts). There are typically very few legal risks to being 'too conservative' in one's accounting and earnings estimates. A reduced share price makes a company an easier takeover target. When the company gets bought out (or taken private) – at a dramatically lower price – the takeover artist gains a windfall from the former top executive's actions to surreptitiously reduce share price. This can represent tens of billions of dollars (questionably) transferred from previous shareholders to the takeover artist. The former top executive is then rewarded with a golden handshake for presiding over the firesale that can sometimes be in the hundreds of millions of dollars for one or two years of work. (This is nevertheless an excellent bargain for the takeover artist, who will tend to benefit from developing a reputation of...

Or you send the target system data packets, which cannot be handled by it and thus causes it to either crash, reboot or more commonly deny services to legitimate users. DOS Attacks are of the following different types-: 1. Those that exploit vulnerabilities in the TCP/IP protocols suite. 2. Those that exploit vulnerabilities in the Ipv4 implementation. 3 There are also some brute force attacks, which try to use up all resources of the target system and the services unusable. make Before I go on...

Leaving India as a teenager was a difficult move but he is extremely happy for the decision he made although at first, he had to get used to the American culture living in a city as Chicago, where the cultural clash can be felt extremely fast. Culturally speaking, India is a very wealthy country and possesses a millenary history. According to Ankit there is a great diversity in religions being Hinduism the largest, followed by Sikhism, Islam, Christianity and Jainism. Despite he does not identify himself with any particular religion, he confesses to be amazed by the existent respect between religions in the USA. The most challenging aspect he faced when he first arrived to the States was the food. Back home, Ankit used to eat traditional Indian dishes, and although it’s not hard to find Indian restaurants in the US, college cafeterias hardly ever serve it. After a few weeks he found himself following a completely occidental menu loaded with fat calories. He soon realized a changed was needed or otherwise he would rapidly start gaining weight.

...A comparative study of TAXI FOR SURE and OLA CABS: OLA and TFS are companies of the same sector that started out together as competitors. While Ola Cabs had a slow start and the company as such took some time to figure out the perfect business model, Taxi for Sure had a more consolidated and well planned business model that helped them initially( decision to partner with goibibo and airports). Since then TFS has maintained a stagnant approach. Whereas OLA has taken some radical and unique steps to change their business plan based on consumer needs and feedback. It is this difference in approach that led one company to falter and the other to become one of the fastest growing companies in this sector. OLA has now not only beaten the competition but has bought( acquired) TFS for 200 million $. Let us analyse the differences in the two business models and what were the key factors that brought about this acquisition.

To date, Michael Hill Jeweller operates a retail jewellery chain of 270 stores in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, with over 2,000 permanent employees. Michael Hill has been facing growth issues on expansion and strategic future planning; this is related to losses that occurred in difficult economic times resulting in a scale back of stores in the United States and New Zealand. This report will discuss Organisational Behaviour and apply relevant theories in Communication, Working in teams, Leadership, Motivation and Rewards, and Human Resource Management. Communication Communication is the process in which information is transmitted and understood between two or more people. The communication process consists of many variables, which include sender, receiver, noise and many more, as shown in Figure 1. Michael Hill Jeweller did have a communication setup by morning meetings with senior management and Friday meetings with Regional Managers by phone. MHJ communications included a monthly financial newsletter for store managers from the financial controller, and a more general newsletter, The Times, for all staff. A barrier here occurs when regional mangers are only subject to phone calls during meetings. This creates ambiguity/noise by the perceived message through the channel not being decoded...

What factors accounted for the extraordinary success of Starbucks during the 1990s? Starbucks success can be determined by the fact that Starbucks enjoyed 11 consecutive years of 5 % or higher comparable sales growth. Starbucks was adding 3 stores each day leading to 5886 stores at the end of FY2002. Sales had increased at the rate of 40% and net income has risen to 50% without investing much in marketing. There are various reasons behind the huge success of Starbucks. Some of them are as follows: * Vision of Starbucks, “third place” helped the company in creating a better relationship between employees and customers. Employees tried to provide experience so that customer feels connected with Starbucks and treat stores as a third place after home or work, a place that mean different things to different people. * Starbucks value proposition was aligned with the need of the targeted customers. Starbucks brand strategy, captured by “live coffee” mantra perfectly reflected national coffee culture. Value proposition had three components, which enhanced overall...
