Annotated Bibliography V. Company Assumptions Introduction As quoted by the CIO journal December 2003 issue, “By the numbers available, the software quality stinks.” The Standish Group reported in 1999 that 74% of all projects were not successful.6 According to a survey by Standish Group in 2002, only 34 % of the software development is successful. Around 38 billion US dollars are lost every annum due to software failure [2] and one of the major reasons for this high failure rate is poor software quality. Typical software projects are often late, over budget, of poor quality, and difficult to track. Engineers often have unrealistic schedules dictated to them and are kept in the dark as to the business objectives and customer needs. They are required to use imposed processes, tools, and standards, and often take shortcuts to meet schedule pressures. Very few teams can consistently be successful in this environment. As software systems get larger and more complex, these problems only get worse. The best projects are an...

...Water is a vital resource supporting all forms life on earth. Unfortunately, it is not evenly distributed over the world by season or location. Some parts of the world are prone to drought making water a scarce and precious commodity (the horn of Africa[i] or Murray-Darling basin[ii]…), while in other parts of the world it appears in raging torrents causing floods and loss of life and property (the tsunami in 2004[iii]…). Throughout the history of the world, dams and reservoirs have been used successfully in collecting, storing and managing water needed to sustain civilization, with water supply as primary benefit of dams but also irrigation for agriculture (food supply), flood control, hydropower, inland navigation, recreation… Although dams provide significant benefits to societies, their impacts are diverse and include resettlement and relocation, socioeconomic impacts, environmental ecological concerns, sedimentation issues… The dams in the Pacific Northwest are not an exception. Indeed, these dams constitute an obstacle to the movement of species and sediment (sand, mud ...). For animal species, particularly migratory species (salmon…), these dams block access to breeding and cause the death of many individuals, even when there are fish ladders[iv]. Moreover dams trap sediments that accumulate and concentrate the pollutants in the water retention basin (video about the polluted water). The lack of supply of new sediment downstream of the dam could cause erosion problems...

...1.0 Introduction to Performance Management The most common view of performance management is that creating a shared vision of the purpose and aims of the organisation. It is about helping the individual employees to understand and recognize their part in contributing to the organisation’s success and thereby managing and improving the performance of both the individuals and the organisation. People must be managed to deliver superior performance that is in alignment with the values of the organisation. There is no easy or universally accepted definition of performance management. Nevertheless, it seems possible to recognize three major perspectives of performance management (Palan, 2002): 1. Managing organisational performance. 2. Managing employee performance, and 3. Integrating the management of organisational and employee performance. (Rogers, 1999) defines that the characteristics of performance management systems for managing organisational performance are that they are corporate systems which include the following processes as part of an integrated cycle of management: * Setting corporate policy and resource aims and guidelines, * Specifying within the above framework, a detailed set of plans, budgets, objectives, targets and standards of performance, and * Regularly and systematically reviewing the performance of all series. 1.1 Current Trends and challenges of implementing an effective Performance Management.

...COMPANY LAW CHAPTER I Introduction 1.1. Background of Company Law The 'Company Law' in Bangladesh is provided and governed by The Companies Act 1994. Before independence of Pakistan, the Indian Companies Act 1913 was the main instrument in this sub continent regarding company business, which passed through major amendments, once in 1936 and then in 1938. Since independence of Pakistan in 1947 changes have been introduced into the Act from time to time not major in nature. After independence, Bangladesh took the Companies Act 1913 as the governing document of company business. Later on in 1994 the Government of Bangladesh enacted a new Act i.e., The Companies Act 1994 and this Act produced extensive changes in the Structure of Company Law, which was existed in that time. At present in Bangladesh, The Companies Act 1994 is the parent instrument of Company Law. 1.2. Objects and Purposes of Company Legislation The Company is a form of business institution in which the funds of a large number of investors are managed by a few persons for the purpose of earning profits, which are shared by all the investors.
