Different types of organisation with contrasting aims should be selected. It would be reasonable to expect selection of a profit maximising partnership and a welfare maximising hospital. If published accounts and annual reports are used to investigate organisations it is worth bearing in mind that these documents often only obliquely refer to objectives mentioned in textbooks and prefer softer objectives that are subsidiary to the main objectives. ‘Providing good customer service’ and being a ‘good...

...Understanding a company’s business model is crucial to investing in individual securities if the purpose is to invest with the objective of outperforming a benchmark return or for a high absolute return. A key point is that the numbers are a result of the business operations; the business operations are not the result of the numbers. By this I mean that trying to make investment decisions on an individual security needs analysis that goes further than spitting back what a company’s net income might be and how that translates into a higher or lower multiple of earnings. The security I am discussing today is Starbucks (SBUX) common equity (SBUX also has corporate bonds). Starbucks Corp. is a seller of coffee, tea, and related products and beverages. Starbucks is a retailer, a licensor, and a wholesaler, which are all completely different kinds of businesses in that they have economic characteristics that result in vastly different operating margins. In analyzing the common stock of SBUX, the investor must understand what drives top line growth, operating income, and bottom line earning power of the company. During the second quarter of 2008, SBUX suffered their worst operating performance since the company went public in June of 1992. Top line revenue was up 12% to 2.526 billion, operating income fell 26.1% to 178.2 million and net income fell 21% to 108.7 million. However, these numbers do not stand alone. One must analyze the financial information further to get a better understanding...

...I. ASSUMPTION OF RISK A. Current Status The Restatement (Second) of Torts §343 provides that a possessor of land is subject to liability for physician harm caused to his invitees by a condition on the land, if but only if, he: a. knows or by the exercise of reasonable care would discover the condition, and should realize that it involves an unreasonable risk of harm to such invitees, and b. should expect that they will not discover or realize the danger, or will fail to protect themselves against it, and c. fails to exercise reasonable care to protect them against the danger. Section 343A of the Restatement provides: a possessor of land is not liable to his invitees for physical harm caused to them by any activity or condition on the land whose danger is known or obvious to them, unless the possessor should anticipate the harm despite such knowledge or obviousness. Sections 343 and 343A of the Restatement (Second) of Torts preclude liability for a possessor of land where an invitee is injured as a result of a condition whose danger is known or obvious to the invitee, unless the possessor anticipated the injury despite the invitee’s knowledge or the obviousness of the condition. Restatement (Second) of Torts §343A(1). As the cases below illustrate, where a danger is “open or obvious,” the possessor of land does not owe the invitee a duty to take precautions against or warn of open or obvious dangers. Under Pennsylvania law the assumption of the risk doctrine applies...

...STAT 225: Introduction to Probability Models Extra Examples 1 Introduction to Probability Extra 1.1 Let A be an event that happens 40% of the time. Let B be an event that happens 75% of the time. Answer the following 4 questions. What is the smallest probability the intersection of A and B can have? What is the largest probability the intersection of A and B can have? What is the smallest probability the union of A and B can have? What is the largest probability the union of A and B can have? .15, .4, .75, and 1 respectively. Extra 1.2 Suppose we are rolling 2 independent, fair 10-sided die. Let A be the event that the sum of the rolls is a prime number. Let B be the event that the sum of the rolls is odd. Let C be the event that the sum of the rolls is even. Find the following sets: BC , A ∩ B, A ∪ C, A ∩ C, (A ∩ C)C , A ∩ (B ∩ C)C , (A ∩ (B ∩ C))C ? BC = C, A ∩ B = A \ {2}, A ∪ C = Ω \ {9, 15}, A ∩ C = {2}, (A ∩ C)C =Ω \ {2}, A ∩ (B ∩ C)C = A, and (A ∩ (B ∩ C))C = Ω. Extra 1.3 Suppose a lottery has balls numbered 1-20. 4 balls are picked at random and without replacement. Let A be the event that all 4 balls are even. Let B be the event that all 4 balls are less than 10. Let C be the event that all 4 balls are primes. (Allow 1 to be a prime.) Find P(A), P(B), and P(C). (Hint an extended general multiplication rule could be helpful.) P(all 4 even) = (10)4 (20)4 = .0433. (9) P(all less than 10) = (20)44 = .0260. What numbers are prime? 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and...

...Bangladesh garment exports boom despite disasters Published July 09, 2013 AFP * In this photograph taken on June 23, 2010, Bangladeshi women sew clothes in a garment factory in Ashulia. Output from Bangladesh's accident-prone garment sector has increased in June, with demand from foreign retailers still growing despite the country's factory disaster in April. (AFP/File) DHAKA (AFP) – Output from Bangladesh's accident-prone garment sector increased in June, data showed Tuesday, with demand from foreign retailers still growing despite the country's factory disaster in April. At least 1,129 people were killed when the Rana Plaza factory complex collapsed outside the capital Dhaka in April, sparking demonstrations against Western brands and prompting some retailers to threaten to cancel orders. Government data released on Tuesday showed that the country's total exports -- 80 percent of which come from the garment sector -- soared by 16 percent year-on-year in June to $2.7 billion, following an increase of 15 percent in May. "The disasters didn't have much impact. They are scattered incidents," head of the government's Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) Shuvhashish Bose told AFP, referring to the Rana Plaza tragedy and other factory fires that have killed another 130 workers since November. Total exports from Bangladesh, the second-biggest clothing manufacturer in the world after China, grew by 11 percent to a record $27.02 billion in the 2012-13 financial year to June. ...

...ASTC Travel Passport Program Participants – May 1, 2011 to October 31, 2011 The Travel Passport Program entitles visitors to free GENERAL ADMISSION. It does not include free admission to special exhibits, planetarium and larger-screen theater presentations nor does it include museum store discounts and other benefits associated with museum membership unless stated otherwise. Acquaint yourself with the family admittance policies (denoted by “F:”) of Passport Program sites before visiting. PROGRAM RESTRICTIONS: 1. Based on your science center’s/museum’s location: Science centers/museums located within 90 miles of each other are excluded from the Travel Passport Program unless that exclusion is lifted by mutual agreement. 90 miles is measured “as the crow flies” and not by driving distance. Science centers/museums may create their own local reciprocal freeadmission program. ASTC does not require or participate in these agreements, or dictate their terms. 2. Based on residence: To receive Travel Passport Program benefits, you must live more than 90 miles away “as the crow flies” from the center/museum you wish to visit. Admissions staff reserve the right to request proof of residence for benefits to apply. Science centers and museums requesting proof of residence are marked by (IDs).

We propose a new multi-objective multi-mode model for solving discrete time–cost–quality trade-off problems (DTCQTPs) with preemption and generalized precedence relations. The proposed model has three unique features: (1) preemption of activities (with some restrictions as a minimum time before the first interruption, a maximum number of interruptions for each activity, and a maximum time between interruption and restarting); (2) simultaneous...
