....Microeconomics Assignement 1 1. a. Define opportunity cost, and explain its importance in economics. (3 marks) Opportunity cost refers to what you must give up (trade off) to obtain some item. It represents the forgone opportunities. It is very important to all of us; it helps and guides our decisions in life. For every decision made, no matter the circumstances; work, school, business, life in general, we incurred a cost, the opportunity cost, what we must give up to obtain the chosen good. The opportunity cost of an item is the weight of another item from those that society have to trade off or give up in order to obtain it, that is the way that society allocates its scarce resources. ALSO, OPPORTUNITY COST IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE THEORY OF COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE AND TRADE. -1 MARK. b. The province of British Columbia hosted the 2010 Olympic Games and invested millions of dollars in improvements to facilities for these events. How would one determine the opportunity cost of the 2010 Olympic Games? (4 marks) The opportunity cost for BC to host the games could be determine by evaluating and comparing what the province could do with the funds (tax payers money) and time that it will invest in the games against, the benefits that could bring to the to the province if BC against the benefits that that money and time will create if invested differently. In one hand the province could add all the benefits that the games will bring to the province; benefits such as increase...

...| Business Strategy | Assignement | 24/05/2010 | | | | “Making your organisation fit for purpose” Starbucks Coffe Company is the world leading brand in roasting and distributing coffee. The company owns now more than 15 000 coffee shops around the globe: it is settled in North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle-East and Asia. The diversity and depth of its offer (from smooth to extra roasted coffee, African, Arabian or Latin, and all the muffins, cookies and sandwiches) allow them to count on an international exposure that has last for many years. Still, their business tends to be flattening. And the number of competitors in their core-business market, even if the competition stays way back them, is growing constantly. Considering these facts, the objective of Starbucks is to strengthen its leadership on the market. We were then approached by Starbucks in this particular goal. In this folder, you will find an entire analysis of the external environment of Starbucks Coffee Company: the macro-environment, the competitors and market and the stakeholders’ expectations will lead to being aware of opportunities and threats. Then, we went on the study of the internal capabilities: the resources and competences, the sustained competitive advantage and the diagnosis of strategic capability that will permit us to define Starbucks’ strengths and weaknesses. [Thus, owing to the results obtained, we endeavour to recommend Starbucks some new and relevant elements...

...University (GTU) will be conducted on a semester basis with four semesters spread over two academic years. The duration of each semester will be around 15 weeks. In each semester there will be seven courses/subjects. In the first year all the 14 courses are compulsory. In the second year there will be three types of courses, namely, compulsory, electives and sectorial specialisation. The MBA programme will have four electives, namely, Marketing, Finance, Human Resource and Information Systems. A student can choose any one of the four electives. There will be five sectorial specialization areas, namely, Retail, Pharmaceutical and Healthcare, Rural and Cooperatives, Public Systems and Policy, and Banking and Insurance. A candidate has to opt for one of the sectorial areas. In each semester of the second year there will be three compulsory courses, three electives and one sectorial course, thus making a total of six compulsory courses, six elective courses and two sectorial courses in the second year. Once a student opts for a particular elective and sectorial course in semester III, he/she will continue the same in semester IV. The institution conducting the programme can either offer all the electives and sectorial options or the minimum requirement of two for each. The institution is free to drop an elective or sectorial option in case...

...MSc thesis Information security Passport of the Future: Biometrics against Identity Theft? Marijana Kosmerlj NISlab Høgskolen i Gjøvik marijana@erdal.biz 30 June 2004 Sammendrag Formålet med biometriske pass er å forhindre ulovlig adgang av reisende inn i et land og å begrense bruken av forfalskede reisedokumenter ved en mer nøyaktig autentisering av reisende. Etter den 11. september 2001 har interessen for bruk av slike biometriske pass økt kraftig. Biometriske pass vil bestå av et høykapasitets smartkort som vil inneholde et bilde av passinnehaveren i tillegg til annen type identitetsinformasjon. I passkontrollen vil ett foto bli tatt av passeieren og sammenlignet med fotoet lagret i passet. Et systemdefinert parameter vil avgjøre om disse to fotoene er like nok til å fastslå om personen i de to fotoene er en og samme person. Mange utfordringer er knyttet til biometriske systemer slik som feilrater, “spoofing”angrep, ikke-universalitet og interoperabilitetsproblemer. Forskningen har vist hvor lett det er å lure biomtriske systemer ved bruk av for eksempel statiske foto. Denne rapporten går ett skritt videre og tar en nærmere titt på fiender og deres ressurser i et grensekontrollmiljø. Den tradisjonelle måten å beregne feilakseptraten til biometriske systemer på, vil ikke gjenspeile den virkelige feilakseptraten i dette miljøet. For eksempel, vil andelen av fiendene som har minst tyve ”look-alikes” i målpopulasjonen sett fra et biometrisk system’s perspektiv være...

We have two methods to insert. a) By value method By address method USING VALUE METHOD Syntax: insert into (table_name) values (value1, value2, value3 …. Valuen); © Copy rights are reserved. 2 Ex: SQL> insert into student values (1, ’sudha’, 100); SQL> insert into student values (2, ’saketh’, 200); To insert a new record again you have to type entire insert command, if there are lot of records this will be difficult. This will be avoided by using address method. b) USING ADDRESS METHOD Syntax: insert into (table_name) values (&col1, &col2, &col3 …. &coln); This will prompt you for the values but for every insert you have to use forward slash.

Understanding Computer Science, is necessary because of its power and influence in modern society. Learning of Computer Science should be activity based, process oriented, student-centred, environmental based and life oriented. The approach to learning is based on five domains of science: Knowledge domain, process domain, application and connection domain, domain of attitudes and values and creativity domain. But we know that most of the present vocational higher secondary teachers are not familiar with this paradigm. Hence for the first time we are introducing sourcebooks for all the subjects in the vocational higher secondary curriculum. This source book for computer science aims to provide guidelines to the teachers of our state to change their pedagogy from the conventional content-based approach to the process...

De ce fait, les marchands commencent à s’organiser afin de mener des projets de plus grande envergure, chacun ayant des bénéfices à tirer des biens produits dans les différentes régions de l’Europe. Cependant cette ouverture des échanges pose de nombreux problèmes pratiques : les expéditions sont très couteuses et doivent être les plus grandes possibles afin d’être rentables et cela demande des fonds considérables qu’un marchand seul, ne peut pas fournir. De plus la diversité des monnaies au sein de l’espace européen à l’époque demande une organisation et rend la présence des changeurs indispensable au bon développement...
