...the most current information they need to learn. With tablets, students and teachers would be able to stay up to date with all and any information they need. Tablets are much lighter than print textbooks. They can hold hundreds of textbooks, save the environment by lowering the amount of printing, increase student interactivity, and creativity, and that digital textbooks are cheaper than print textbook. “…in 2006, the U.S. book industry consumed approximately 30 million trees and had a carbon footprint equivalent to 12.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, or 8.85 pounds per book sold.” (Green Press Initiative and the Book Industry Study Group. 2008) Paper books can be recycled, though at this point not much data is available regarding the percentage of books that are recycled at the end of their useful life. “81 percent of K-12 teachers believe that tablets enrich classroom education.

Because of these bribes Ball Corporation was considered not to have enough internal controls in place to prevent such bribes. As punishment Ball was to pay $300,000 to the United States Treasury. If the Commission finds that the company gave false information the Commission reserved the right to reopen the case to ferther sanctions and punishment. Tyson Foods From 2004 to 2006 Tyson de Mexico were accused of making payments to veterinarians wifes by putting them on their payroll even though they did not actually work for them. Later the wives were taken off the payroll and the veterinarians submitted invoices for payment for services that were not done totaling $100,311. Tyson was charged with violating Foreign Corrupt Pratices Act . The Security Exchange Comission charged Tyson with inaccurate bookkeeping and records, imperfect internal controls. Tyson punishment was disgorgement and pre-judgment of $1.2 million in interest. Tyson also agreed to pay a criminal penalty of $4 million in a related criminal proceeding. Both of these companies failed terribly in being compliant with the Security and Exchange Commission and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The Ball Corporation would have saved themselves some aggrevation if they had went over the books for Formametal before they purchased them. When the accountant had found the mistakes in the books Ball should have punished the management personnel involved...

...Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, all of which turned out to be exceptionally successful. The next step was introducing Acrobat and the PDF document format, which also quickly became an industry standard. * In the subsequent years Adobe added to its product mix successful products like PageMaker, After Effects and GoLive by acquisition. Despite all these achievements, the company experienced substantial difficulties during 1998. Important product delivery date was missed, sales declined and the stock price plummeted encouraging a takeover attempt by one of their direct competitors, Quark, Inc. * Bruce Chizen, who was appointed as a CEO later in 2000, managed to stabilize the situation. This was not an easy task, as most of Adobe's executive management left the company while he had to lead a drastic restructuring of the business. Adobe had to carry out a major reform in order to be more profitable. Case Overview: * This case describes the early success Adobe had establishing Postscript as the preferred software application for printing documents. The case describes the strategy Adobe set in motion to secure script position as the established utility for printer manufactures, publishers, PC OEMs/ODMs and software developers. * Adobe also started to expand the product offering when they introduced Portable Document Format (PDF) and the companionship utilities Reader and Acrobat Business Tools.

Appendices and Work Cited Pg: 8-22 Introduction Mostly everything in the business world has a system they use to collect and report inventory. “SANGEA, an automated, electronic data management information system, is owned by API [American Petroleum Institute] and was designed to assist petroleum companies with estimating, managing and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) [Greenhouse Gas] emissions.”1 This system covers the accounting and reporting of six greenhouse gases by the Kyoto Protocol such as: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). The actual idea is quite simple with the following objectives in mind: to help companies prepare a GHG inventory that represents a true and fair account of their emissions, through the use of standardized approaches and principles, to simplify and reduce the costs of compiling a GHG inventory, to provide business with information that can be used to build an effective strategy to manage and reduce GHG emissions, and to increase consistency and transparency...

...Grenoble Ecole de Management Fashion, Design and Luxury Management 2014 - 2015 Academic Year Question: Why enforcement of IPRs involving fashion, Design, and luxury products is so difficult to achieve? If you were working in the enforcement office of a fashion, design, etc… firm, what would you suggest in terms of enforcement measures? Name: Chengxi WANG Word Count: 1592 While artistic works such as books and music are entitled with delicate protection under IPRs, the situation is quite contrary in the fashion and luxury industry. The counterfeits as well as knock offs are rampant in the market and enormous economic damages are caused to the fashion companies. This essay is dedicated to investigate the reason behind the weak enforcement of IPRs in the industry. In the following paragraphs, the intrinsic nature of fashion and luxury industry as well as the specific legislative seams in the copyright, design patent, trademark and trade dress will be analysed to answer the question. Intrinsically, the lack of intellectual property protection in the fashion and luxury industry accelerates the production and dissemination of creativity. As opposed to the traditional point of view that artists and creators would not have incentives to design and create new works if their intellectual properties are constantly infringed without proper legal legislation and protection, the situation is not applied in the fashion and luxury industry. On the contrary, it is the lack...

...The differences Between Leadership and Management The difference between leadership and management can be summarized by saying: “When you act as a leader, your work comes from the heart. When your actions are those of a manager, you work comes from the head.” Albeit it is probably much more complex than this, the major point to focus on is the difference between how you handle yourself as a leader and as a manager—and the continuing need to be able to do both. The head and heart need to act as partners, not work independently. (Coutts, 2000). A manager focuses the majority of their attention on efficiency, effectiveness, and making sure things happen when they are supposed to. You know you are in the role of a manager when you set performance goals with staff, prepare the necessary budgets, review cash flow projections for a business, develop a plan of action, and evaluate company programs or fund raising initiatives or any other major aspect of a company. Management may also include undertaking hundreds of other mundane tasks that require focused and logical attention to detail for the well-being of the organization. (Maccoby, 2000). On the other hand, being in a leadership role requires you to become a strategist, a visionary, and a person who inspires other people to become great. You are a leader when you share your visions on how to better your organization, or when you able to bring staff and other people together to develop a program or design a strategy to resolve a...

...Goodwill Valuation and Impairment Goodwill can be found on the balance sheet of many companies whether it is a publically traded or a privately owned company. In simple terms, goodwill is the result of one company obtaining another. In accounting, goodwill is identified as an asset that has future economic benefits, which results from the acquisition of another company’s assets (FASB ASC 350-20-20). This account is shown on the balance sheet of the acquiring company. The excess of purchase price less the book value of the company represents goodwill. The purchase price is also known as the fair value. In other terms, book value is also known as carrying value, which is the book value minus any accumulated impairment amounts. If the acquiring company pays more than the carrying value, there is a premium. Premium is defined as the additional amount that is paid in excess of the ordinary price, similar to the idea of a premium bond. In order to provide consistent and comparable information about goodwill, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has established Generally Accepted Accounting Standards (GAAP) that are used to measure and valuate the impairment of goodwill for companies operating their businesses in the US. Also the International Accounting Standards Board (ISAB) has established international standards known as IFRS. Both the FASB and the ISAB have created accounting standards to help companies determine the valuation and impairment of goodwill. Goodwill...

...Asic vs Adler Introduction Since ASIC is a corporate entity, it can engage in legal action with other corporate companies that it suspects to be committing criminal or civil offences within the financialsystem. There are several famous court cases that ASIC has been involved with in Australian law and ASIC vs Adler is one of the cases. The sections that defendants commonly breached include ss180, 181, 182, and 183, which involve failing to act in good faith, failing to provide a duty of care and diligence, and avoiding the use information gained in their positions for their own benefit.

...Manual Vs. Electronic Scheduling 2 In the world today, technology is an imperative part of our lives and hard to function without for most. Technology is the new era in our current generation. Instead of doing things manually, the computer has always been my first option. Computers are convenient, combined with the internet, they can be a great asset to us and we have achieved a lot from them. Although computers are nice to have, we have to think about the complications that they can bring upon us. Computers are liable to crash, shut down, or become subject to the intricacy of hackers. When doing things manually, you can never fail or have to depend on the computer. On the other hand, one has to take into consideration human errors and the need for excellent record keeping. It may take a lot of hard work to get things done manually, but it will always be a great back up to rely on. The only option to fully understand the benefits from either, would have to be discussing the pros and cons for both. There are pros and cons to electronic and manual scheduling. When scheduling electronically, for most, it is easy to use, convenient, and reduces the need for paperwork. Electronic scheduling is in popular demand. According to (Appointment-plus, 2012), “electronic/online scheduling gives the people the power to book their appointments online, it can generate automated emails and reminders reducing the need for clients to continually call...
