...Economic situation of Italy during financial crisis and outlook for the next years Abstract This work takes into investigation the situation of Italy during the initial phase of the financial crisis that begun in 2008 and next we have gone through the short-term recovery in 2010 till the return of the bad results in 2012 and negative predictions for the future. We have analyzed the background of Italy economy, the main economic measures and the actions taken by the Italian government to recover the financial situation of the country. In the following chapters we have reviewed the most important financial ratios as gross domestic product, public debt, budget deficit, inflation and others. We have analyzed the historical data, trends of the ratios and tried to predict the future situation taking into consideration the economic factors as well as the political circumstances coming from the last elections in Italy in February 2013. Finally we have concluded the highest risk of Italy’s financial standing that comes from the rising public debt, rising unemployment level, lowering consumptions and investments and ineffective redistribution of public funds (high corruption). We predict that mostly due to the political results of last election and lack of the willingness to implement the structure reforms the financial standing of Italy will be getting worse in coming years. The main threat is raising public debt that will require higher costs to serve it and can lead in...

...The difference between the price of the possible new component, $1.90, and the standard purchase price of $2.10 will result in a favorable price variance and offset an unfavorable price variance from another component. Should Pat offset the unfavorable variance, his overall performance report will qualify him for the annual bonus. Pat would also stand to receive an impressive performance rating which would help ensure a higher paid position at division headquarters. Although the outcome of the decision to use a cheaper component will benefit Pat's professional growth, the quality and reliability of both the new component and supplier are questionable. By the time the customers and company begin to suffer the repercussions, Pat will be reaping the benefits professionally. Pat’s company has set professional performance goals and a system of rewards that can be obtained by actions that are not in the best interest of the company. The dilemma being, simply, should Pat put his interests over that of his company? The supplier Pat is considering has a reputation of making deliveries on time for the first few months only. Although the new component, reportedly, has only a slightly higher number of defective units, the life of the component is 25% less than the standard. Pat sees very little personal risk as he expects his successor will be responsible for handling any problems associated with this decision. The primary stakeholders that will be affected by the decision are top...

...Organisation name: Starbucks Corporation Starbucks Corporation Report on the new strategy for Starbucks Corporation Terms of reference To investigate on the new strategy and to make appropriate recommendations as requested by the management consultant on the 23 September 2015 Procedure 1) Research has been done on the internet to justify the new strategy from 1 October 2015 to 22 October 2015. Findings 3.1 Alternative strategies relating to market entry/ substantive growth/ limited growth/ retrenchment for your customer. A limited growth strategy is a safer and smarter way to do business as aggressive growth strategy requires a large amount of risk such as entering new geographical markets. Limited growth is a lower risk mode of growth as it needs less start-up funds which include advertising and promotion. (Sherman, 2015) The strategy proposed was the implementation of Starbucks happy hour to give customers a promotion of half price on all drinks when they buy any tumbler or mug with the exception of the $1 reusable cup available in the US and Canada (Kosh, 2013). The promotion in this case will focus on the Starbucks goal to get 5 percent of beverages made in stores to be made in personal tumblers. Previously, Starbucks created a goal to achieve 25 percent of customers using their tumblers for beverages made in their store and will not be able to achieve this goal based on previous records (Starbucks Coffee Company, 2015). This promotion will then only qualify...

...Conference on Women, held in Beijing in 1995, identified the eradication of the persistent and increasing burden of poverty on women as one of the 12 critical areas of concern requiring special attention and action by international communities, governments and civil societies. 1.2 There has been an increase in the number of female-headed households due to divorce, widowhood and other reasons. Female-headed households do not have income from male earners and the single mothers have to fulfil both the roles of an earner and a carer. Therefore, these female-headed households bear a higher risk of living in poverty. More importantly, unless the economic status of these women improves, the accompanying problem of child poverty cannot be properly tackled.4 1.3 Poverty is a multi-dimensional problem. While some causes of poverty are common to both men and women, some apply specifically to women. These particular factors are discussed in the following section. 1 2 3 4 Bellamy & Rake (2005a) and United Nations Development Fund (2005).
