...Argument Paper The law requires personal investigations just for weapons sold by governmentally authorized gun merchants (FFLs), permitting those not “occupied with the business” of managing guns to do as such without directing individual verifications or keeping up any records of offer. There should be mental background checks on those who want to own a gun. Mental background checks on owning a gun would help slow down the amount of violence. 3.7 percent of the general US population executes one or more vicious acts every year, and the lifetime pervasiveness of forceful conduct in the group may be as high as 24 percent (WorkThreatGroup).According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) , 17,357 manslaughters happened in 2004, making it the...

...Homework Assignment for 4D1165 Behavioural Management Control Year 2007 Part I: The Homework Questions This, the first section, of my homework assignment contains the twenty homework questions that have been handed out to us students throughout the course, along with the answers I’ve composed in order of answering these. 1. One of the causes of management control problems is lack of direction. Why does this problem exist? Lack of direction, a fundamental element in many dysfunctional organizations, constitutes one of the primary needs for management control. Employees are likely to perform in an unsatisfactory manner unless expectations and functions are clarified. Flaws in encouragement and surveillance may loosen the strings between employee and employees, resulting in confusion. Confusion, in this context, involves having people do the wrong things; consequentially leading to decreased productivity. Leo’s Four-Plex Theatre, the first case discussed in class, illustrates the severe effects that a lack of direction may cause. As the personnel of the theatre were unaware of procedures, uninformed about regulations and seemingly, not well instructed on how to perform simple tasks, mistakes occurred. Two lines from the case text make this obvious: (1) The cash counts revealed, almost invariably, less cash than the amounts that should have been collected.[1] (2) Tickets of the wrong color or with the wrong dates in the stub boxes. Bill Reilly, the manager of Leo’s Four-Plex...

...Resent trends of banking system in India 1. Introduction The economy can be divided in the entire spectrum of economic activity into the real and monetary sectors. The real sector is where production takes place while the monetary sector supports this production and in a way is the means to the end. We know and we accept the financial system is critical to the working of the rest of the economy.

... LDR/531 Organizational Leadership. Date: 05/08/2010 Instructor Name : Professor Paul Wallace Introduction This paper examines a business failure that occurred at Enron Corporation, an American energy company based in Houston, Texas. The corporation was formed in 1985 by Kenneth Lay after the merger of Houston and InterNorth natural gas pipeline companies. In the early 1990s when the federal government deregulated energy production, the company was able to thrive due to expanded markets that enabled the corporation to sell energy at high prices. By 1992, Enron had become the largest merchant of natural gas in North America and the gas trading business became the second largest contributor to Enron’s net income, with earnings before taxes and interest of $122million (Wikimedia Foundation, Inc, May, 2010 ). In an attempt to achieve further growth, Enron pursued a diversification strategy and by 2001, Enron had become a conglomerate that both owned and operated gas pipelines, pulp and paper plants, broadband assets, electricity and water plants internationally. The corporation also traded in financial markets for the same types of products and services. With this expansion and growth, Enron’s stock rose year after year since the start of 1990s and by Dec.2000, Enron’s stock was price at 83.13 and its capitalization exceeded$600...

...1.1 Origin of the Report Non-Banking Financial Institutions represent one of the most important segments of the financial system of Bangladesh and play a very important role in mobilizing and channeling resources In the present day socio-economic scenario, the leasing companies have been continuously playing an increased role in financing industry, trade and commerce and housing, thereby contributing significantly to the economic development of the country. The leasing sector has contributed significantly over the years, despite several constraints. With the challenges of time, the overall growth of the leasing business achieved through diversification of products and services and aggressive marketing with special focus on the SME sector, is indicative of the industry’s contribution to our national economy. It is worth mentioning that, within two decades; the leasing companies have emerged as an alternative source of finance and well sought after arm for credit for SMEs. In order to catch up with the demands of time, most leasing companies have diversified their products and services into other areas like small loans, housing loans, start-up working capital and domestic factoring of accounts receivable. Further to reducing dependence on traditional borrowings from banks for meeting their working capital requirements, some of them have already introduced new financial instruments like Bonds, Securitization of Assets, Syndication Services, Merchant Banking, Stock Brokerage...

Jonson was of a difficult and jealous temper, and subsequently he gave vent to an occasional expression of scorn at Shakespeare’s expense, but, despite passing manifestations of his unconquerable surliness, there can be no doubt that Jonson cherished genuine esteem and affection for Shakespeare till death. Within a very few years of Shakespeare’s death Sir Nicholas L’Estrange, an industrious collector of anecdotes, put into writing an anecdote for which he made Dr. Donne responsible, attesting the amicable relations that habitually subsisted between Shakespeare and Jonson. ‘Shakespeare,’ ran the story, ‘was godfather to one of Ben Jonson’s children, and after the christening, being in a deep study, Jonson came to cheer him up and asked him why he was so melancholy. “No, faith, Ben,” says he, “not I, but I have been considering a great while what should be the fittest gift for me to bestow upon my godchild, and I have resolv’d at last.” “I pr’ythee, what?” sayes he. “I’ faith, Ben, I’ll e’en give him a dozen good Lattin spoons, and thou shalt translate them.”’ 1 The Mermaid meetings.
