...Corporate Governance | Should accountability, transparency and effective risk management be regarded as the most important principles of Corporate Governance? | | What actually corporate governance is and how it actually affects a corporation? What are the main players playing a part in corporate governance? These are the questions one must understand in order to see the role of principles like accountability, transparency and effective risk management in corporate governance. So corporate governance is defined as “the relationship between a company’s shareholders, directors, and management as defined by the corporate charter, bylaws, formal policy, and rule of law”. (Gallegos, 2004, p. 37). This definition clearly shows the relationship of a company’s shareholder, directors and management. But this definition is only limited to what are the main players of corporate governance. In order to understand its impact on a corporation or company, ASX defines it as, “Corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and managed. It influences how the objectives of the company are set and achieved, how risk is monitored and assessed, and how performance is optimized. Good corporate governance structures encourage companies to create value (through entrepreneurism, innovation, development and exploration) and provide accountability and control systems commensurate with the risks involved’. (ASX Principles of Good Corporate Governance and Best Practices Recommendations...

...Industry is a group of firm producing a similar product or services, such as soft drinks or financial services. Michael Porter- an authority on competitive strategy, contends that a corporation is most concerned with the intensity of competition within its industry. The level of this intensity is determined by basic competitive forces, which are depicted in the figure above. the collective strength of these forces determines the ultimate profit potential in the industry, where profit potential is measured in terms of long-run return on investment capital. The six forces driving industry competition: 1) Threat of New Entrants New entrants to an industry typically bring to it new capacity, a desire to gain market share, and substantial resources, they are therefore, threats to an established corporation. The threat of entry depends on the presence of entry barriers and the reaction that can be expected from existing competitors. Entry barrier is an obstruction that makes it difficult for a company to enter an industry. Some possible barriers to entry are: * Economic of Scale * Product Differentiation * Capital Requirements * Switching Costs * Access to Distribution Channels. * Cost Disadvantages Independent in Size * Government Policy 2) Rivalry Among Existing Firms A competitive move by one fir can be expected to have noticeable effect on its competitors and thus may cause retaliation or counter efforts. According to porter...

...genetic modification of crops and plants was created so that crops could, “... protect themselves against insects and disease, to feed and vaccinate people at the same time, to flourish in poor soil and drought, or to improve the quantity and bioavailability of individual nutrients.”(Roberts, Struble, McCullum-Gomez, Wilkins, 2006). These benefits may seem to outweigh the risks and in reality they do, however this does not mean the consumer should not be notified of the risks they are taking. The hallmark of our free society demands that the consumer be able to choose whether or not they want to eat something that may have health risks. Labeling that identifies GMO ingredients allows for the consumer to choose a particular product while ensuring that the producer feels more at ease with the way they disclose information and promote their product. Genetically engineered crops have many risks ranging from mild to serious. The risk of food allergies is one of the more serious factors. “There are risks not only from the parent crop, but in addition the new transgenic product can be an allergen.”(Celec et al., 2005) The risk of food allergens from genetic engineering is evident in this case with Brazil nuts and soybeans....

...Christine Lowe 3-1-14 NRS-429 Heritage Assesment The first defense against the "if" factor is to take charge of your health and learn what you need to do, and when you need to do it, to keep your body running at tiptop shape. After all, when you buy a car, you maintain it according to schedule. So why not have a similar schedule to maintain your body (Danoff 2013)? This statement makes a great point when addressing health maintenance. Health maintenance should be a priority for all of us, it allows us to do preventive medicine such as annual physicals, vaccines, safe sex, and a huge array of other health preventions. So often now primary physicians are increasing the push for maintaining healthiness. When I visit the doctor, the routine is to ask a variety of screening questions that it prompts the provider to offer health maintenance to each patient. Whether I’m over due for annual bloodwork, mammogram, or pap-smear these items are always discussed during any visits. Keeping their patients healthy hopefully will eventually allow the insurance companies to one day lower premiums. Health protection refers to "ensuring safe food and water supplies, providing advice to national food and drug safety regulators, protecting people from environmental threats, and having a regulatory framework for controlling infectious diseases in place. Ensuring proper food handling in restaurants and establishing smoke-free bylaws are examples of health protection...

...and co-ordinate the work of others in a group”. So one has to understand leader and leader-ship are two very different concepts. With reference to the statement leaders are “born not made”, certain predispositions such as personality characteristics, could add an additional advantage of being a leader. The other factors such as family genes which one may procure are definitely cannot be argued upon. Intelligence, religion-growth-status, society, education, training, job etc... remain as external factors influencing ones Leadership. Therefore a change and a conflict is simply evident. The recent break through of a concept called “Cloning” has stirred a wider controversy about replicating a “LEADER”. Although the research is banned in most countries, a possibility of “BORN” leader in every Human mind is very much an innate quality. According to William A Cohen (Cohen, 1998), “Lack of leadership ability” can most of the time be corrected with training and a little motivation. An other interesting article about leadership published by the American Psychological Association (June 94), about how a leader is made? Is an...

It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. Nowadays the impact of the climate change can be seen around the globe - seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. And meanwhile, our planet must still supply us – and all living things – with air, water, food and safe places to live. Weather related consequences, caused by climate change, present challenges that threaten the understanding of extreme weather and natural disaster related damages. Many natural disasters (like floods, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions) all around the world have showed that people are now exposed to extreme weather events. The lack of financial preparation to face the risk of extreme weather events is particular concern at the moment. Many governments...

...INTRODUCTION The following paper will serve the purpose of analysing the policy response to HIV and AIDS in Kenya as a case study in East Africa. Kenya has the main organisation which facilitates and controls various HIV and aids policy strategic response which is the national aids control council (NACC). It is the mandate of the Kenya Ministry of Health (MoH) to deliver quality, affordable health care to all citizens of Kenya. Various strategic documents have outlined plans towards achieving this goal, including the Second National Health Sector Strategic Plan (NHSSP II, 2005-2010) and the Kenya National AIDS Strategic Plan (KNASP, 2005-2010).They are various other documents which include the HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control Act, 2006 Sexual Offences Act, 2006 Children’s Act, 2001 Medical Laboratory Act, 1999 Science and Technology Act, 1980 Public Health Act (Cap 242) HIV prevalence in Kenya is estimated based on the Demographic and Health Survey (2003 and 2008/9), AIDS Indicator Surveys (KAIS 2007 and 2012) and Antenatal Clinic (ANC) sentinel surveillance. A trend analysis starting from 1990 shows that prevalence in the general population reached a peak of 10.5% in 1995‐96, after which it declined by about 40% to reach approximately 6.7% in 2003. Since then, the prevalence has remained relatively stable. The decline of the prevalence from 1995 to 2003 is partly attributed to high AIDS related mortality while the stabilisation of the epidemic in the last 10 years is...

...1.12.2014 Advanced Economic Evaluation Introduction: The highway A5 Nord/Weinviertel Autobahn should connect Vienna (Austria) and Brno (Czech Republic). Nowadays travellers have to go through a mix of highways and country roads which go through cities and villages. Construction is performed in three stages: In 2010 the first construction stage with a length of 23.5 km from Eibesbrunn to Schrick was opened to traffic. The second stage from Schrick to Poysbrunn with a length of 25 km is supposed to be constructed till 2017 and the last stage from Poysbrunn to Drasenhofen with a length of 9 km should be finished in 2018. From Drasenhofen, the Austrian boarder travellers can use the Czech highway to Brno, so there will be a continuous highway between Vienna and Brno. The construction and maintenance of the highway is financed through Public Private Partnership by the Bonaventura Straßeneinrichtungs-GmbH Problem statement: The objective of a new highway is to improve the travel conditions and improve the quality of life for the people who are living close to the old road and suffer from noise, thus these benefits exceeds the costs of constructing and operating a highway? For answering this question an economic evaluation has to be done. Theoretical and methodological considerations An in Medias res Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) where all relevant economic environmental and social impacts are included, is performed for the highway case. A CBA as an economic evaluation method was...
