...Table of Contents Introduction 2 The Summaries 3 Conclusion 5 References 6 Appendix 7 Introduction We are said to live in a new economy. According to Tapscott (1996), the new economy is also a knowledge economy based on the application of human know-how to everything we produce and how we produce it. He also said that more and more of the economy’s added value will be created by brain rather than by brawn. So, what is value added anyway? In his book, Stewart (1997) mentioned that value added in statistician-speak is the difference between the cost of materials and supplies and the price received for finished goods. In a simple word, the value added is the extra value we add into product or services that increase the overall value of it. Then, we have come to the question of how we add the value to our product and services? According to Stewart (1997), again, knowledge has become the primary ingredient of what we make, do, buy and sell. As a result, he said, managing it has become the most important economic task of individuals, businesses and nations. So, it is clear that involvement of this subject matter in micro level up to the macro level is very crucial.

...heard and read about regulation in the accounting industry numerous times. There have been many major accounting scandals in history that have lead to many different kinds of government regulation. The government regulations in accounting are mostly enacted to protect investors. From 2000 to 2002 there was an abundant number of large corporate accounting frauds, which led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Previous regulations were efficient to a certain extent, but scandals still happened and more regulation seemed to always be needed. Even though the new SOX regulation seems powerful and efficient, I believe that there will always be a need for additional regulation in order to prevent future scandals. Securities Acts of 1933 and 1934 Summary of Regulation The stock market crash of 1929 resulted in the Securities Act of 1933. This act required that before a company an offer or sell securities in a public offering, they must register the securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The registration statement is used to notify the SEC that a sale of securities is pending and that the information needs to be disclosed to prospective buyers. This statement includes information about the issuer and its business, a description of the stock, the proposed use of the proceeds from the offering, and audited balance sheets and income statements. This registration process ensures that buyers of the security have accurate and complete information about the security before...

...Executive Summary The Walt Disney Company (TWDC), together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a leading diversified international family entertainment and media enterprise with four business segments: media networks, parks and resorts, studio entertainment and consumer products. This executive summary summarizes the issues surrounding The Walt Disney Company based on its globalization efforts into a multinational corporation, its business power related to the exportation of “American imperialism”, its business ethics related to its theme parks and resorts, and its corporate governance problems under former CEO Michael Eisner. Many blame these kinds of changes in company values and mission to Michael Eisner. Globalization efforts made by The Walt Disney Company would prove costly when it made bad decisions based on naïve assumptions of the cultural acceptance of Mickey Mouse into Japan and France. Tokyo Disneyland emerged as the most profitable theme park, but with TWDC having no stake in the company; and Disneyland Paris, backed heavily by TWDC, had to be restructured only after two years of opening. Domestically, theme park safety had been compromised, all in the name of profit. An embittered declaration for Eisner’s resignation came in 2003 by ousted board member Roy E. Disney, nephew of Walt and last remaining active family member at TWDC, and his trusted friend, Stanley Gold, who resigned the board. Ultimately, Roy Disney helped lead a Disney shareholder...

... Mihir Thakkar Candidate Number: 000881-0043 May 2014 Word Count: 1,703 A. Plan of Investigation This investigation will measure to extent to which the Pearl Harbor attacks affected the political discrimination against people of Japanese descent in Canada, including the internment of Japanese-Canadians during World War II. This investigation will be carried out through analysis of various documents about the Japanese-Canadian internment. A variety of sources will be used, from books by victims of the internment to scholarly sources about the war between Canada and Japan. Two of the documents will then be thoroughly assessed, which will provide evidence to properly and reasonably answer the question. This date range of this study is from 1887 until the official government redress, which took place in the 1970s. The question will be answered through factual evidence of the internment, as well as narrative evidence describing other forms of political discrimination. B. Summary of Evidence Racism before Pearl Harbor • • Manzo Nagano, the first immigrant from Japan moved to Canada in 1877.1 In the 1920s, the Canadian Government limited the number of fishing licenses allowed for Japanese citizens.2 • In the Great Depression, the government of British Columbia denied logging licenses and the Japanese immigrants were only given a small amount of social assistance, when compared to the whites.3 • Until the late 1940s, Canadians of Japanese decent were not given the right...

...The full title of the first edition of Malthus' essay was "An Essay on the Principle of Population, as it affects the Future Improvement of Society with remarks on the Speculations of Mr. Godwin, M. Condorcet, and Other Writers." The speculations and other writers are explained below. William Godwin had published his utopian work Enquiry concerning Political Justice in 1793, with later editions in 1796 and 1798. Also, Of Avarice and Profusion (1797). Malthus' remarks on Godwin's work spans chapters 10 through 15 (inclusive) out of nineteen. Godwin responded with Of Population (1820). The Marquis de Condorcet had published his utopian vision of social progress and the perfectibility of man Esquisse d'un Tableau Historique des Progres de l'Espirit Humain (The Future Progress of the Human Mind) in 1794. Malthus' remarks on Condorcet's work spans chapters 8 and 9. Malthus' essay was in response to these utopian visions, as he argued: "This natural inequality of the two powers, of population, and of production of the earth, and that great law of our nature which must constantly keep their effects equal, form the great difficulty that appears to me insurmountable in the way to the perfectibility of society." The "Other writers" included Robert Wallace, Adam Smith, Richard Price, and David Hume. Malthus himself claimed: "The only authors from whose writings I had deduced the principle, which formed the main argument of the Essay, were Hume, Wallace, Adam Smith, and Dr. Price ...

...Steps and Processes for Employee Dismissal Diana Graves Strayer University Professor Kenneth R. Lewis, B.S., M.A., Ed.D. HRM520: Strategic Human Resource Management November 15, 15 Abstract This paper presents methods in which management can best coordinate and head a dismissal meeting during employee layoffs. These methods will touch on how management can best cope with the negative emotions associated with employee layoffs, how to conduct a proper dismissal meeting step by step, how compensation is determined for separated employees and how the impact of a dismissed employee affects a company as a whole. These methods will be best achieved by structured communication between management and employees. In addition, the paper will show that employees should receive proper notification prior to dismissal by management. During times of hardships, companies may choose to layoff employees. These times can be difficult and stressful if not handled properly. This paper will present a couple of different methods on how managers can make this period less stressful for employees, as well as show the impact of layoffs on the company as a whole. These methods will touch on proper and improper ways of communicating between managers and employees and give several steps on how to conduct dismissal meetings. Coping with Negative Emotions After an Employee Layoff Layoffs within a corporation are a difficult time for all. Management can find ways to help make this process a little...

The author by the name of Stacy Morrison “The Ex-Husband Who Never Left” is about a loving and caring wife that just couldn’t let go of her husband but, she also had a boyfriend at the same time. This story is sad in a way, but it has a happy twist at the end. One of the main reason people should not try to hold on to a person that no longer wants to be a part of your life in posted in this paper, plus having the respect for the other person is a must have in a relationship these days. Letting go of a person that you have shared a substantial amount of years with is easier said than done. Also if you’re the kind of person that fights for their relationship no matter what, then the end result would be priceless, having two of the men you shared part of yourself with become friends end the end “ Why Can’t We All Just Get Alone” spoken by Rodney King.
