...1. What is the Fisher hypothesis? Is it Valid? Explain The Fisher hypothesis (sometimes called the Fisher effect) is the proposition by Irving Fisher that the real interest rate is independent of monetary measures, specifically the nominal interest rate and the expected inflation rate. The term "nominal interest rate" refers to the actual interest rate giving the amount by which a number of shillings owed by a borrower to a lender grows over time; the term "real interest rate" refers to the amount by which the purchasing power of those shillings grows over time—that is, the real interest rate is the nominal interest rate adjusted for the effect of inflation on the purchasing power of the loan proceeds. The relation between the nominal and real rates is given by the Fisher equation, which is This states that the real interest rate () equals the nominal interest rate () minus the expected inflation rate (). Here all the rates are continuously compounded. For rates based on simple interest, the Fisher equation takes the form where is the simple nominal interest rate and is the simple real interest rate; this equation is well approximated by using the simple rates in the previous equation provided all three percentage rates are relatively small. If the real rate is assumed, as per the Fisher hypothesis, to be constant, the nominal rate must change point-for-point when rises or falls. Thus, the Fisher effect states that there will be a one-for-one adjustment of the nominal...

...Chapter I * Introduction to the study * Objective of the study * Need of the study * Significance of the study * Limitations * Review of literature Introduction to the study. Godrej pioneered the refrigerator industry in India in 1958 – in fact, it was the first Indian company to manufacture refrigerators. Over the next few decades, the company garnered a lion's share of the market on the back of its demonstrable reliability and performance. Supported by a philosophy of innovation, Godrej launched refrigerators with Poly Urethane Foam (PUF) in 1989, which went on to become an industry benchmark. Market expansion and competition from foreign brands in the 1990s only helped to invigorate it and once again brought to the fore its pioneering spirit. Godrej Refrigerators met these challenges with its own product development. In 1996, it unveiled the first-of-its kind refrigerator model in India, the 260-litre deep door refrigerator; it followed this in 1998 with the roll out of a 400-litre refrigerator in the frost-free range.This was, at the time, the largest refrigerator ever to be manufactured in India. Godrej raised the bar yet again in 2001 with the launch of the all-new Pentacool range. With its 5-side cooling, these refrigerators were generations ahead of several brands in technology. The spate of innovations continued with the launch of Godrej Eon in 2006 – once again setting new benchmarks in the cooling space. Having more than held its...

It was ]anuary of 201,0 and she and her colleagues were about to review the first retail sales results following a major strategic initiative to reposition and evolve the EILEEN FISHER brand. 2009 marked the 25tri anniversary of EILEEN FISHER and the occasion gave the company the impetus to pause and assess its history. The company had enjoyed phenomenal success in its first quarter century: its growth in revenues and profits had been driven by both the skong brand loyalty of its core customers, and the opening of fifty retail stores dedicated to the brand. The company was consistently recognized as oue of the best companies to work for and had an impressive environmental sustainability and social responsibility- record. However, a startling discovery had emerged. The median customer age was currently at 59 and increasing each year, keeping pace with the age of the company's visionary founder, Eileen Fisher. Despite the company's best efforts to design age-less clothing to appeal to multiple generations, as Fisher herself aged, so too had the customer base. The company found itself stereotyped as a brand for older, and, to some extent, customers with...

...Learning to talk outside gunpoint Boyd Fuller and Shriya Mohan, 8-1-2013 2 * Capturing hostages is believed to be the only way for Naxalites to get the government to lend them their ears. So by agreeing to talk only when kidnapped, are we not asking to be held at gunpoint? At left, Maoists during a training session in the Dantewada forest. (Right) Sukma Collector Alex Paul Menon, accompanied by an interlocutor, following his release by the Maoists in the forests of Chintalnar in Chhattisgarh, in May last year.— photos: Akhilesh Kumar * When Roger Fisher, negotiation guru and former director of the Harvard Negotiation Project, was once asked in an interview if he could really negotiate with a terrorist, he said, “I’d much rather listen to them than fight. A lot of times, they’ve got legitimate grievances packaged as extreme political positions.” Near the end of 2012, the government made an important move towards negotiations with the Maoists, promising to put in place Crisis Management Groups (CMG), which are essentially teams to negotiate hostage situations in Left Wing Extremist (LWE) States. Clearly, the two high profile Maoist kidnaps of last year — Collector Alex Paul Menon at Chhattisgarh and the Italian tourists at Orissa — created much national distress. But as we embark on combating a new year of conflict, let us reflect for a bit. Capturing hostages is believed to be the only way for Maoists to get the government to lend them their ears. So by agreeing...

Executive Summary When preparing to write an executive summary, ask yourself the following questions: • Who will read your executive summary? Sometimes your executive summary may have an “intended” audience: your professor might require you to write it for a CEO, department head, or supervisor, for example. On other assignments, your audience won’t have a specific identity, but always keep in mind that the reader of an executive summary needs to know all of the important information in the main document without reading the actual document. Even if you know that your instructor will be reading everything that you submit, write the executive summary as a “stand alone” document. • What is the main document’s main topic, theme, or idea? Most reports have a “thesis” or central point that they are seeking to communicate. Try to sum this up in two or three sentences. If you are having trouble with this, imagine that someone has asked you, “what’s this report about?” and that you have to explain...

...Archetypal elements are expressed in many ways in The Natural. The characters of Roy Hobbs and Pop Fisher are both based on the mythology of Sir Perceval and the Holy Grail. Filmmakers of The Natural also demonstrated mythological and archetypal elements with most of the shots in the film. The character of Roy Hobbs can be seen as Sir Perceval, one of the Knights of the Round Table. The most obvious example of this is that Sir Perceval was a knight of the Round Table and Roy Hobbs plays for the New York Knights. In the legend of Sir Perceval, he goes on a quest in search of the Holy Grail. Roy Hobbs is on a journey to succeed as a baseball player and the Holy Grail being the pennant. Another example of a mythological element in the film is Roy’s bat, wonder boy, as it represents King Arthurs’s Excalibur. Roy Hobbs’s character also loosely follows the story of The Odyssey. In that story, Odysseus goes on a quest, but is struck down by Calypso and it takes him twenty years to return home. In The Natural Roy goes on a quest to be the best there ever was. He meets a woman named Harriet and is shot by her, it takes him sixteen years to get back in the game. Another character in the film The Natural is Pop Fisher, and he can be related to the Fisher King. The Fisher King was a broken man who guarded the Holy Grail. The only one who could heal the Fisher King was Sir Perceval. In the film, Pop Fisher is the coach of the New York Knights who were a far below average baseball team. Roy Hobbs...

...In class we had our first group negotiation, which proved to be a very challenging exercise. There were two teams, a labor union and factory management. The factory management wanted stricter rules and lower labor rates while the labor union wanted good benefits, higher wages, and less regulation. In addition to having team interests we also had individual interests. For example, I was an employee who worked at the factory 30 years so my interest was to have less regulation and to have higher benefits. Although each of us, had a desire to win, and had our own interests that could have made the negotiation distributive, the best approach was an integrative approach. This negotiation was distributive in nature since it had to do with getting the “most” or “least” points yet it did not have to be. Since my team knew that a distributive approach would not lead us anywhere we decided to use an integrative strategy. For example, the other side was not going to give us a substantial increase in benefits regardless of our options so we needed to find a way to accumulate points a different way. Therefore, we began pushing for higher wages and we were able to get a fifteen cent increase to give us 3 points, we required that we signed the labor clause (+2), slight increase in benefits (+1), weak regulation( -1), and one management regulation ( -1), etc. Overall, as a team we accomplished a gain of 7 points. There was not enough time and the other side was not budging. We tried not budging...

...Applying Theory to Practice Over the past decade, youth, and individuals under the age of 18 antisocial Mary Jo Buttafuoco had no idea that on answer and violence behavior has become a grave global concern and a top political policy issue being sensationalized by media coverage of rare but devastatingly murder crimes being committed by young individuals at school, homes and other social places. The increase of media reports of notorious murder by young people may skew the public perception of its actual prevalence. In our case study, we look at Mary Jo Buttafuoco who is murdered by a teenage girl at her home on Adam Road West Long Island, N.Y., on May 19, 1992. Moral Development Theory explanations of delinquency in which propositions identify certain concepts and describe and how they are related to delinquent behavior, this theoretically predicts relationships that may be tested through research. For instance, one simple proposition of differential association theory is that attitudes favoring delinquency may be learned in the context of inmate personal groups, in our case, the girl suggests to Mary Jo that they should have a talk about her husband, where she notices a car with a young man of which the girl claims to be her boyfriend. Mary Jo becomes upset and orders the girl to leave. The girl shoots her in the head without a second thought (Regoli, Hewitt, & DeLisi, 2014). The predicted relationship portrayed here is that youths develop attitudes, in this case we find...

...The film Antwone Fisher is an autobiography directed by Denzel Washington, based on the life of a United States Navy sailor, named Antwone Fisher, with emotional problems and a violent temper that can often be triggered by rage. Essentially it can be concluded that the psychological and emotional problems Antwone experiences are what make him such a prime example of social determinism. When further examined, Antwone was more specifically influenced by early childhood trauma, his naval psychiatrist Dr. Jerome Davenport (Denzel Washington), and the emotional connection he makes with Cheryl (Joy Bryant) a fellow officer in the navy. As a child Antwone was frequently abandoned and abused; in the end, this ultimately affects his emotional and physical response to the people in his everyday life. His mother, Eva Mae Fisher, abandoned him after he was born and unknowingly sent him to a foster home in which Mrs. Tate, Antwone’s foster mother, abuses him and calls him derogatory names throughout the entity of his childhood. However it doesn’t stop there, as the movie progresses Mrs. Tate eventually kicks him out of the house and leaves him alone and starving out on the streets of Cleveland, but not before his childhood babysitter had her way with him. Antwone later reconnects with his...

...Examination and Reactions to the Movie Antwone Fisher MCPY 600 August 16th, 2007 The movie, Antwone Fisher is a wonderful and thought provoking film full of symbolism, pain, and hope. Antwone Fisher takes the audience through a journey of various subsystems of communities: prison, orphanage, foster care, homeless shelter, and the Navy. However a community encompasses more than a system. Community is ever changing, evolving, and interacting with the needs of the people developing into their own. Communities are influenced by environment, political climate, and economy. We watch Antwone Fisher dream of his perfect family, and the need he has to make a connection with his past. However, the journey he goes through with the help of his Psychiatrist, Dr. Davenport and his girl friend Cheryl, is trying, sometimes turbulent, and full of pit-falls. Antwone reaches his own epiphany when he learns who he is, meets his family, and is able to trust others while overcoming his fear of rejection and abandonment. As I watched the events unfold through Antwone’s eyes, I asked myself what specific influences kept him from turning to violence and crime on the streets. I find those answers by carefully examining the progression of events, Antwone’s choices, positive influences, as well as looking at the meaning and symbolism behind the scenes. The first scene of Antwone Fisher sets the tone for the character development throughout...
