...As the Mumbra building collapse incident, one of the worst in the state’s history, makes headlines, the usual blame game has begun, with the politicians blaming each other or the administration. Advertisement Once again, promises have been made by the government that it will not tolerate such lawlessness. Soon, however, they will be forgotten. The incident that took place in Mumbra was shocking, but not unexpected. It was a disaster waiting to happen. And this could have been anywhere in the Thane district — Mumbra-Kalwa, Kalyan-Dombivli, Bhiwandi, Mira-Bhayander or Vasai-Virar. related story Thane building collapse worst in Maharashtra, kills 56 * 72 dead in Thane building collapse; 2 builders arrested Over the past two decades, these areas have witnessed unprecedented real estate development since they are close to Mumbai. Those working in the financial capital but unable to afford houses in the city chose to buy and rent properties in these areas. The high demand for houses, complex rules for building construction and availability of land gave birth to an unholy nexus of builders, politicians and local administration officials. The greed for profit further led to land grab, inferior-quality construction and even defrauding of buyers. The influence of the real estate mafia can be understood by looking at elected representatives at various levels. A majority of them have direct or indirect connection to the real estate industry. Little wonder then that there...

...The Pros and Cons of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) Activity-based costing, rooted from the 1970ies, were a novel way of assigning costs more accurately to cost objects. As R. Cooper and R. S. Kaplan brought notice to these concepts, they stressed its main innovation: assigning the direct and indirect costs of each activity to products based on the resources they consume. In contrast, the traditional costing system assigned overheads in proportion to an activity’s direct costs1, which would oftentimes distort the real costs incurred by a product. The reason is that if product B needs a lot more engineer’s time to be developed, it should have higher costs than product A needing less time. This example is taken from the article1 “Idea: Activity-based costing” by the Economist, which sheds light on the ABC method’s merits, but also mentions that a lot of firms were reluctant to implement this system. The article goes on to explain that the ABC system had a strong start, but soon fell into a period of disrepute, as Mr. Kaplan has admitted. Since the ABC system is generally accepted and its advantages are taught in business schools worldwide, this article inspired me to briefly discuss reasons as to why or why not a firm should implement such a system. First and foremost, as mentioned, activity-based costing is the basis for a more accurate cost allocation, especially when the rate of overhead costs is high or when products consume different proportions of overhead rates. A more careful...

...Thomas Friedman discusses how 10 principle concepts, in summary, allow easy transfer of capital and information around the world. His concept, that the “world is flat”, emboldens global competition with the possibilities of an equal ‘playing field’ due to the 10 “flatteners”. Friedman’s main focus was on the equal opportunity for corporate businesses globally, but from a financial market perspective, the ease in which capital flows is also encompassed in the “world is flat” concept. Due to technological advances, the global financial market has been refined with electronic exchanges, networks, institutions, and communications. Each country may have its own financial market, but the world is so closely tied together, causing global affects when one market is prospering or suffering. Currently all eyes are on Europe and the “Euro Crisis” stemming from their uncontrollable debt. There are discussions of a $1 trillion dollar bailout for the 16 “Eurozone” countries, which could ultimately cost and estimated $3 trillion or bankruptcy. Greece and Ireland are in the forefront of the countries in financial ruin. With the media making the entire world aware of these countries financial crisis and their insolvent state, investors are reluctant to continue to buy bonds that may not payoff. These investors are expected to bring in cash flow buy buying bonds so the European country can pay back the bank loans with extremely high interest. European Central Bank, responsible for...

...Homer, Virgil and Milton Homer, Virgil and Milton’s use of allusion in their literature is apparent and most likely educational. They all have clear and recurring parallels between their works. Particularly complex are the allusions to Achilles, which appear in the portrayals of both Aeneas and Turnus. W. S. Anderson, in his influential article1 on Vergil's use of the Iliad, has argued that although Achilles is initially invoked as a model for both Aeneas and Turnus in Aeneid, as the poem progresses Vergil establishes Aeneas as the true heir to Achilles, while Turnus becomes a new Hector or Paris. Book 9 opens with Iris urging Turnus to take advantage of Aeneas' absence by attacking the Trojan camp, a clear reference to Iliad where Iris rouses Achilles to drive the Trojans from the Greek camp. Anderson has argues that “Vergil uses this allusion to support Turnus' own false notion that he is a new Achilles,” a delusion which is gradually dispelled in Book 10 after the reappearance of the real successor to Achilles, Aeneas. The resemblance of the attack of the Latins on the Trojan camp to the attack of Hector and his companions on the Greek camp in Iliad Book 8 and 12 seems to support such a view, placing Turnus in the role of Hector and not Achilles. Later, however, the issue is complicated further as in his slow retreat before the Trojans Turnus is reminiscent of Ajax in Iliad. Finally, just at the end of his retreat, Turnus turns and just jumps into the river, like Achilles'...

...Electric Cars in India [pic] Lindsey G. Silver Dr. Keith Dickinson BA 3374 International Marketing April 19, 2012 The electric car market in India offers only one product, Mahindra’s Reva. This is due to the lack of infrastructure support and the preference for cheaper cars. These operate on a regular charge from various electrical outlets instead of expensive foreign oil. The drawback is that the cars are an expensive buy. However, they are efficient and use cleaner energy. Also, the Indian government gives tax rebates for such purchases. The rising fuel prices in the country will create awareness of Electric Vehicle technology. As Indian oil companies increase fuel prices, car buyers could be facing some budget restrictions. Electric Vehicle (EV) technology may be the solution to beat the fuel price hike (Kannan, 2012, p. 1). Although consumers have begun to change to hybrid and diesel fuel, the cost is still greater than these options. The EV does not offer a variety of choices in the country and consumers are hesitant to change from gas to electric. The biggest advantage lies on its fuel economy. As the price of oil increases, this solution could improve lifestyles and a healthier environment. In addition to the greater cost, the Reva does not offer long distance capabilities. It runs about 80km per electricity charge because the lithium ion batteries hold a limited charge and have limited distance capabilities (Joshi, 2012...
