...Business Case Analysis Wael M. Zaoud MGT 521 May 28, 2012 Clance Doelling MBA, BSME Business Case Analysis Executive Summary The third week assignment examines The Boeing Company (BA) strategic initiatives taken in relative to the organization and operation adaptation to the developing competitive environment. Boeing operates as a global company and facing tough competition recently from Airbus, Lockheed Martin, EADS, Northrop Grumman, etc. Politics, finance, economy, and resources (to name a few) impact the global market in which Boeing operates. As a result, Boeing needs to constantly evaluate its global strategy and the tactics it uses to capture the market and maintain growth. Economic Trends Recent global events, including regional political turmoil, natural disasters, and debt crises, have affected global economic growth. While global growth is expected to recover, the risk of persistent high oil prices and debt contagion could have lasting effects on the economy (The Boeing Company, n.d.). Economic growth also could be affected by slowing trade liberalization in some regions. Reduced liberalization could prolong the recovery period, affecting the demand for air travel and new airplanes. Though recent data indicates that the global economy continues to recover, the pace of the recovery in 2011 has moderated compared to 2010. High oil prices, natural disasters (Japan earthquake) and resulting consequences in a politically unrest Middle East area pose as primary...

...Progress in Planning 64 (2005) 69–175 www.elsevier.com/locate/pplann Global city making in Singapore: a real estate perspective Sun Sheng Han Department of Real Estate, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore, 4 Architecture Drive, Singapore, Singapore 117566 CHAPTER 1 Introduction ‘Global city’ is a notion popularly cited among planning academics and practitioners in describing some strategic places in the world economy. Pioneer researchers in this area define global cities as basing points of capital in a world economy (Friedmann, 1986: 71); production centres of specialized information services such as financial services, media services, educational and health services, and centres of tourism (Hall, 1998: 24); and centres for servicing and financing international trade, investment and headquarters operations (Sassen, 2004: 171). Summarizing those perspectives and recognizing the influence of a new economy, which can be characterized as informational, global and networked (Castells, 2000: 27), global cities can be seen as the urban nodes where globalization materializes so that they are (1) highly concentrated command points in the organization of the world economy; (2) key locations for finance and specialized service firms; (3) sites of production of innovation; (4) markets for the products and innovations produced (Sassen, 2001: 3 and 4). Taylor (2004) has argued that these perspectives involve understanding just the attributes of cities and...

Where am I going? Where are you? What is the best way to get there? When will I get there? In this paper GPS technology can answer all these questions. GPS satellite can show you exact position on the earth any time, in any weather, no matter where you are. GPS technology has made an impact on navigation and positioning needs with the use of satellites and ground stations the ability to track aircrafts, cars, cell phones, boats and even individuals has become a reality. A system of satellites, receivers that is able to determine the latitude and longitude of a receiver on Earth by calculating the distance. System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from constellation of 24 satellites. Navigation system is made for aircraft, ships, ground vehicles, and for hand carrying by individuals. Surveying, telecommunications facilities, and mapping, tracking etc is another use of GPS. Also in this paper feasibility is, to introduce tracking system in Jinnah University, that monitor students’progress until they have seen an academic advising resources and helps students graduate on time.

...INTERNAL SECURITY OPERATION IN THE STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF AIR DEFENSE WING CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING 1.1 INTRODUCTION "Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur." - Giulio Douhet, Command of the Air A fitting quotation by Douhet for the case of Air Defense Wing wherein the organization was not able to anticipate the streamlining strategy of the government, leaving the Wing no choice but to adapt to the changes in the Command’s thrust of prioritizing Internal Security Operations rather than Territorial Defense Operations to prove its relevance as one of the primary unit of the Philippine Air Force. Caught unprepared of the significant changes in governments thrust, ADW is now suffering in terms of its force structure and budget allocation as it continues to fight for its relevance and existence as one of the premier unit of the PAF. The Background and Rationale of the Study Budget Allocation Statistically, the lowest percentage of allocation in National Budget is in Defense. Debt service gets the biggest share in the proposed budget at 34.1 percent. Social services and economic services follow with 27.9 percent and 18.7 percent, respectively. The general services sector and the defense sector will be getting 15.3 percent and 5 percent of the proposed budget, respectively[1]. This is...

The more risk one is willing to take, the higher the return one will be able to get. This relationship has been extensively analysed in the context of liquid assets that trade in organised markets (see e.g. Fama and MacBeth, 1973; Ghysels, Santa-Clara, and Valkanov, 2005). However, much less is known about its implications on the behaviour of banks as risk managers and profit maximisers....

...Lyn Klein Economics for Global Managers Professor Victoria Vernon Module 3 Case Study: European Union 7/3/14 The EU is facing a banking crisis. There are insolvent banks in Ireland and Spain, as well as other nations. They lent out too much money, often against real estate. There were real estate bubbles then the value of real estate fell and borrowers could not always pay back the loans. The Greek banking crisis was caused by the government spending too much and borrowing too much money. The economy collapsed causing the banks to be insolvent. Before the collapse banking was conservative. When a nation has insolvent banks belonging to the Euro zone make that problem much worse. There were silent funs on Greek banks, with capital flight; people are pulling their money out of the Greek banks and sending it elsewhere, making the Greek economy worse. The common currency zone escalates the problems. There are also capital and trade imbalances. Germany is exporting a great deal more than it imports, causing capital flows into Germany. Spain and Greece import more than they export so capital flow is out of the country. They need to become more productive at exporting, which is not always easy. In the 2000’s money flowed into periphery countries, borrowing rates were low and capital inflow brought rising standards of living. By 2010’s money was flowing out of the periphery countries and back into Northern Europe. Periphery economies were starved for investment...

...The Impact of Monetary Policy on Economic Growth and Inflation in Sri Lanka C.Amarasekara 1 Abstract Based on a vector autoregressive (VAR) framework and utilising both recursive and structural specifications, this study analyses the effects of interest rate, money growth and the movements in nominal exchange rate on real GDP growth and inflation in Sri Lanka for the period from 1978 to 2005. The results of the recursive VARs are broadly in line with the established empirical findings, especially when the interest rate is considered the monetary policy variable. Following a positive innovation in interest rate, GDP growth and inflation decrease while the exchange rate appreciates. When money growth and exchange rate are used as policy indicators, the impact on GDP growth contrasts with established findings. However, as expected, an exchange rate appreciation has an immediate impact on the reduction of inflation. Interest rate innovations are persistent, supporting the view that the monetary authority adjusts interest rates gradually, while innovations in money growth and exchange rate appreciation are not persistent. Several puzzling results emerge from the study: for most sub-samples, inflation does not decline following a contractionary policy shock; innovations to money growth raises the interest rate; when inflation does respond, it reacts to monetary innovations faster than GDP growth does; and exchange rate appreciations almost always lead to an increase in GDP growth. The...
