...gun, he is so disgusted with the criminals who are dealing the weapons, he ends up shooting both and burns down the entire crimescene. Clever move i would say. The kids on the block are tough kind. Murdering and beating on random people is an everyday-thing for these people. Harry takes the role of a ”revenger of god”, as his mission of revenging Len, becomes more a mission of taking down every single criminal youngster on the block. Riots, shootings and other uncomfortable happenings are seen through out ”Harry Brown”, but it gives an interesting view of the British slum, and i think that both Michael Caine in the role of Harry Brown and Plan B (Ben Drew) in the role of the young Noel Winters are doing a really good job in this movie. Plan B is also one of my favourite rappers, so that the ending credits are accompanied by a Plan B song is not too rubbish...

...Case Study: Plan B 1) I do not believe that the FDA should be able to make exceptions to the standard drug-approval process. If there does need to be a change in the way the drug is being approved, once the drug has gone through the normal flow of approval processes and has been deemed to be safe, low risk of abuse, and provides an acceptable therapeutic index, there should be no reason that the drug does not go through the normal approval process. 2) All drugs have some level of safety concern. In the case of if acetaminophen were available in prescription form only, there would most definitely be an influx of patients to clinics and emergency rooms seeking pain medications for headaches, body aches, or other minor pain related incidences. 3) I do not think that there should be additional data required for girls of reproductive potential for Plan B or other OTC products. If half of all girls in high school are already sexually active, they should have the tools available to them in order to prevent unexpected pregnancies. Many schools offer free condoms as well as sexual health classes to inform students of the risks of being sexually active, I believe that Plan B is just one more tool available to women in order to be in charge of their bodies. While I do not think that this should be passed out like condoms are, I do think that it should be available to women if it is needed such as when a condom breaks or slips off during sex, she is raped, or even if contraception...

...developing a comprehensive set of plans to integrate and coordinate organizational work. The term planning as used in this chapter refers to formal planning. Types of Planning: * Informal – not written down, little or no sharing of goals with others in the organization * Formal – specific goals covering a period of time are defined II. Why do Managers Plan? Purposes of Planning * Planning gives direction * Reduces the impact of change * Minimizes waste and redundancy * Sets the standard used in controlling Planning and Performance * Generally speaking, however, formal planning is associated with positive financial results. * The quality of the planning process and appropriate implementation probably contribute more to high performance than does the extent of planning. * When formal planning has been shown not to lead to higher performance, the environment is usually the reason. * Organizations need at least four years of systematic formal planning before performance is impacted. III. How do Managers Plan? Elements of Planning A. Goals * Goals are desired outcomes for individuals, groups, or entire organizations. Goals are objectives–the two terms are used interchangeably. They provide the direction for all management decisions and form the criterion against which actual work accomplishments can be measured. B. Plans * Plans are documents that outline how...

...Lorange, then professor at the Wharton School and consultant on strategic planning to the two companies. Soriano expressed his great satisfaction with the approach to strategic planning developed by Dr. Peter Lorange and his team.

Following are excerpts from an article prepared by Lorange based on his address during the meeting as well on as the major issues raised during the lively open-forum discussion. II. MAIN PROBLEM Problems: a. The planning process may have been time consuming and involved more work than one might reasonably expect of people. b. The two companies emphasized in developing the objectives and strategic programs led to past strategies outweighing the new strategies. c. There were some Business Family and Element Teams who were asking for "hand-holding" to guide to the process. III. ANALYSIS IV. ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTIONS 1. Constitute a more active team of...

... WEIZHE QI A IAS37 Provisions, Contingent liabilities and Contingent Assets B According to IFRS IAS37 72-79: 72 A constructive obligation to restructure arises only when an entity: (a) has a detailed formal plan for the restructuring identifying at least: (i) the business or part of a business concerned; (ii) the principal locations affected; (iii) the location, function, and approximate number of employees who will be compensated for terminating their services; (iv) the expenditures that will be undertaken; and (v) when the plan will be implemented; and (b) has raised a valid expectation in those affected that it will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. 73 Evidence that an entity has started to implement a restructuring plan would be provided, for example, by dismantling plant or selling assets or by the public announcement of the main features of the plan. A public announcement of a detailed plan to restructure constitutes a constructive obligation to restructure only if it is made in such a way and in sufficient detail (ie setting out the main features of the plan) that it gives rise to valid expectations in other parties such as customers, suppliers and employees (or their representatives) that the entity will carry out the restructuring. 74 For a plan to be sufficient to give rise to a constructive obligation when communicated to those affected by...

...process function of management is also crucial. Of course plans do not always go as intended so we learned that we need to have an alternative plan in case the original plan fails. We learned how the unethical behavior of one person or group of people can negatively affect a whole organization. What could be applicable to your workplace or personal life: When it comes to the workplace there are internal and external factors that would affect the four functions of management no matter what company you are working for. Being able to have the knowledge of how to use the four functions of management along with being able to pick out some of the internal and external factors that could affect the functions is an asset to any company. Also being able to be prepared for change and having something ready, or a plan B, and having the prior knowledge of how to implement that plan to replace the current one is also something that any company would benefit from. In our personal lives we are surrounded by factors both internally and externally that could alter our plans. For those of us with kids those factors are increased and usually happen more frequently. Being able to have the planning knowledge in our personal life is a benefit that affects not only us as individuals but our entire family. It would reduce the stress factor by having a plan B and already having something in place that could take the place of the original plan. For example the babysitter calls and cancels at the last...

...A Sales Plan Defined Our sales plan should be short, simple and to the point. It's basically our strategic and tactical plan for acquiring new business, growing our existing book of business and making and/or exceeding our sales quota within our sales territory. Typically, a healthy mix would include 75 percent of your sales quota from new business and 25 percent of your quota from add-on business from your existing customers. There are four basic parts of a sales plan: 1. New business acquisition strategies 2. New business acquisition tactics 3. Existing business growth strategies 4. Existing business growth tactics Before you start, you need to get a handle on some definitions: • Sales quota: This critical element of your plan sets the tempo of your efforts throughout the year and provides quarterly, monthly, weekly and even daily sub-goals for you to achieve. • Sales territory: Refers to the geographic area, list of named accounts or specific market niche you have been assigned to in which you are to sell your products, services and solutions. • Strategies: The plan necessary to accomplish your goal. • Tactics: The steps necessary to carry out the plan.

...get a cell phone with a calling plan. At this time Mary isn’t sure what her monthly phone usage is going to be. After consulting with her college friends, she estimates her usage will be between 200 and 900 minutes per month. A local phone company offers two basic calling plans: Plan A. offers a package consisting of monthly charge of $50.00 and $0.10 for each minute. Plan B. offer is a monthly fee of $15.00 and $0.18 per minute. The phone company charges for actual time used for both plans, so if Mary used .75 Min for talk time she would pay for actual time used [(.75) x per minute rate] Plan A The cost of plan (Y) X= phone usage in minutes (this is our variable) Y=50 + 0.10(x).

Rajesh completed his engineering from a private engineering college with a hope that he will be able to get a regular job which will minimize the uncertainty attached with the earnings from agriculture. He has seen his father losing sleep every year, when the rain gods played mischief. He has felt the anxiety at home till the time the payment for each crop was realised and all the small borrowings taken during the season for the crop were repaid. His father tried to fulfil all his financial needs so that he can be what he wants to be. Rajesh studied hard during his engineering course but he could not get any job during campus placements. After futile job search for over one year, few friends advised Rajesh to get an MBA degree. They said that MBA is a sure shot way to get a highly paid and high ranked job in a large MNC. He was lured by big advertisements of business schools which promised the students an ultra-modern campus and dream jobs. But even after attending over 25-30 job interviews, the best job he was offered was of sales executive with a “CTC” of rupees 2.5 lakh per annum but having fixed salary component of less than 10,000 rupees a month.
