Introduction 1.1. The 2009 Belgian Code on Corporate Governance The corporate governance practices of Anheuser-Busch InBev are reflected in its Corporate Governance Charter, which is available on www.ab-inbev.com/go/Corporate_governance. The Charter is regularly updated. As a company incorporated under Belgian law and listed on Euronext Brussels, Anheuser-Busch InBev adheres to the principles and provisions of the Belgian Corporate Governance Code, published in March 2009 (www.corporategovernancecommittee.be). However, in order to reflect Anheuser-Busch InBev’s specific shareholding structure and the global nature of its operations, the Board of directors has adopted certain rules which depart from the Belgian Corporate Governance Code. In summary, these rules are the following: Principle 5.3./1 (Appendix D) of the Code: “the Board should set up a nomination committee composed of a majority of independent non-executive directors”: The Board of directors appoints the chairman and members of the Nomination Committee from among the directors, including at least one member...

...Dan Robinson Marketing 4-24-2012 Section 1 Situation Analysis Career Search Branding yourself is one of the most difficult things you can do in life. It represents the beginning of starting a career and establishing your credibility. It takes a lot of effort to discover your specific brand, so I will take a step by step approach in order to advertise myself. I can get a great grasp on my future by starting from the the very core: values. Self-Reliance Communication Determination Accountability Decisiveness Hard Working Efficiency Loyalty Individuality Trust Values may be seen as ways to accomplish a mission or achieve a certain goal. Individuals as well as organizations may shoot for specific values and goals in order to reach a level of success, including myself. I would not alter any of these values because, to me, they act out of universal importance towards anything I am striving for. In this case, I am establishing necessary values in the general field of business. In choosing the most important values towards my life in regards to my possible career choices, I asked myself what would it take to be the ultimate employee or eventually employer. The answer came down to a self-reliant, communicative, and determined person. These values that I would bring to the table are the cornerstone of a great career. In order to allow yourself to reach your full abilities, you must be able to rely on yourself to complete the tasks at hand. This first value...

...APPENDICES A B C Quantitative Review References to CFA Questions Glossary A P P E N D I X A QUANTITATIVE REVIEW Students in management and investment courses typically come from a variety of backgrounds. Some, who have had strong quantitative training, may feel perfectly comfortable with formal mathematical presentation of material. Others, who have had less technical training, may easily be overwhelmed by mathematical formalism. Most students, however, will benefit from some coaching to make the study of investment easier and more efficient. If you had a good introductory quantitative methods course, and like the text that was used, you may want to refer to it whenever you feel in need of a refresher. If you feel uncomfortable with standard quantitative texts, this reference is for you. Our aim is to present the essential quantitative concepts and methods in a self-contained, nontechnical, and intuitive way. Our approach is structured in line with requirements for the CFA program. The material included is relevant to investment management by the ICFA, the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts. We hope you find this appendix helpful. Use it to make your venture into investments more enjoyable. 1006 Appendix A 1007 A.1 PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTIONS Statisticians talk about “experiments,” or “trials,” and refer to possible outcomes as “events.” In a roll of a die, for example, the “elementary events” are the numbers 1 through 6...

...Alcohol Consumption in College Incomplete Paper Alcoholic beverages such as beer can cause problems for many people throughout life, but for college aged people alcohol can cause the worst. In college most people are being out on their own for the first time ever and having that freedom they have never had. Some problems caused by alcohol in college are, missing an assignment or class, or even death. Drinking a beer a day has been found healthy, but in college that is never the case. Not that everyone drinks or everyone drinks a lot but there is always that select group that will drink more nights out of a week than not. And when that group drinks they drink heavily in order to be drunk. Problems occur with many people who do drink very heavily because it impairs their ability to get things done for many hours including the ones when drinking and after. A student may not attend class the day after drinking because he or she may be to sick or just exhausted from the drinking the night before. After the student skips the first one it becomes easier and easier to skip classes, therefore it is more likely to happen over and over again. Also when skipping classes a student can miss anything from an important lecture to a test which can really hurt their grades. The final big issue is the number of students who die every year from alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is caused by excessive amounts of alcohol in the body...

Coors supply chain included the following processes: purchasing, research and development, engineering, brewing, conditioning, fermenting, packaging, warehouse, logistics, and transportation. This CIL project was a cross-functional initiative to reengineer the business processes by which Coors logistics or supply chain was managed. This reengineering project improved supply chain processes and applied information technology to provide timely and accurate information to those involved in supply chain management. The project objective was to increase company profitability by reducing cycle times and operating costs and increasing customer (distributor) satisfaction.

...Issue: Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 can an employee who is African American demonstrate that her employer discriminated against her by failing to promote her to the position of senior control buyer, where she has seven years of experience in the retail catalog business, two years as a control buyer, trained new buyers, received a special achievement award for contributing to the positive profile of the company and where the person who was hired in her place has no experience as a retail buyer in the private sector and has been with the company for six months?

This test known as the McDonnell Douglass test is met when Mrs. Pitman shows that: (1) she belongs to a protected class; (2) she applied and was qualified for the job; (3) despite her being qualified she was rejected; (4) after the rejection the position remained open and employer continued to seek applicannot s. Mrs. Pitman is also able to provide statistical evidence of discrimination and evidence of discriminatory attitudes. Facts: Our client, Jenna Pitman, is seeking to file suit against J. Montgomery for a claim of racial discrimination under Title VII. The allegation stems from a denial of Mrs. Pitman's application for a promotion by J. Montgomery...

After this, the paper delves into the capital structure and dividend policy theories at length. The theories are at first discussed separately, and then meticulously blended as the report progresses.

Empirical evidence from Standard Chartered Bank Botswana is then presented to assist future researchers reflect on how it stands against conventional theory. The result of the empirical study shows positive correlation between capital structure and dividend payment; and an even stronger correlation is evident between earnings per share and dividend payment. The paper, however, ends by recommending further studies using larger...

...TT Spirits, LLC, a spirits company operating in Florida, is best known for producing alcoholic beverages in the southeast United States. TT Spirits, LLC, is constantly looking to diversify the portfolio and add new products to its line. The release of the highly anticipated onethirty was announced earlier this year. onethirty is the first high proof alcoholic beverage positioned to be acclaimed worldwide. The sleek bottle design, packaging and advertisements are all geared toward young emerging professionals. The launch of this product has raised many legal implications that TT Spirits will need to carefully consider. The successful promotion and decisions regarding onethirty are crucial to ensure the profitability and longevity of the new label. Background Information An alcoholic beverage’s “proof” is the percentage by volume of alcohol in a beverage and is calculated by doubling the percentage of alcohol in each beverage. The highest possible alcohol proof is 191.2. Any higher, the alcohol would be converted into an azeotrope with water. Typically, a beer ranges from 10 to 14 proof, a glass of wine can be from 18 to 25 proof and mixed drinks have an average proof of 80. The true problem lies with the uneducated drinkers; people who are unaware of the different proofs and amount of alcohol in each beverage. College students are often targeted as binge drinkers and alcoholics. This is because many students do not realize the short and long-term effects of alcohol...
