...Question 3: What can global firms do to reduce vulnerability to financial crisis? By definition, financial crisis is applied broadly to a variety of situations in which some financial assets suddenly lose a large part of their nominal value. (Wikipedia) It would become extremely harmful to global organizations. Some international firms suffer a great amount of loss or even go bankrupt during financial recession. Therefore, whenever there is a financial crisis, global companies have to execute certain initiatives in order to reduce vulnerability to financial crisis. During financial recession, there are mainly two kinds of crisis management: short-term and long-term orientations. The main purpose of short-term initiatives is to maximize year-to-year profit (or minimize loss), whereas long-term initiatives focus on the benefits of future gains and ignore short-term loss. (Kotabe, 2010) Therefore, short-term oriented solutions tend to satisfy stockholders’ immediate needs, while long-term orientation is more beneficial toward customers. (Vinay Couto, 2009) Among short-term initiatives, pull-out of the market, across-the-board cuts, layoffs, aggressive working capital management, and discretionary spend reductions are very common responses for financial crisis. In general, global companies could create significant outcomes within very short period with those short-term orientations. Therefore, most of global companies choose short-term responses to reduce vulnerability to...

...the 2008 financial crisis During the periods the 2008 financial crisis, zero equity lending to homebuyers immensely flourished through the development of financial instruments known as Mortgage Backed Securities(MBS). There are many possible explanation how mortgage securitisation in subprime was effectively encouraged. First of all, a major policy set by the Bush Administration to fuel home ownership to lower income groups by providing easier access to loans for borrowers with zero equity lending. In addition, the crisis was triggered by overvalued subprime mortgages based on the idea of continuous increases in housing prices. Hamilton and Schwab (1985) find that house price changes are positively correlated...

Looking at the Eurozone crisis from an ethical perspective reveals several insightful and interesting insights including a look into the idea of equality among the member states, financial camouflage practices and the focus on immediate gains both in private sector and at national level. We have tried to map out such factors that have contributed to ethics mismanagement among the euro member states which have finally culminated into the crisis.

...Kyoto Protocol and Global Warming Evaluation Ron Lewis ECO/370 November 10, 2014 Ronda Jantz Kyoto Protocol and Global Warming Evaluation Introduction of Global Climate Change In this paper we will research, come to know and understand the causes and effects of global warming and global climate change. We will also come to know and understand the Kyoto Protocol. Let’s first look at the meaning of the words global warming and global climate change. Global warming is an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect (Global Warming, 2014). Global climate change is changes in the earth's weather, including changes in temperature, wind patterns and rainfall, especially the increase in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere that is caused by the increase of particular gases, especially carbon dioxide (Global Climate Change, 2014). Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.4°F over the past century, and is projected to rise another 2 to 11.5°F over the next hundred years. Small changes in the average temperature of the planet can translate to large and potentially dangerous shifts in climate and weather (Basics of Global Climate Change, 2014). Global climate change is a really big issue in the world today, and trying to fight it is an ever bigger issue. The question is, can we fight it and how? Contrast the costs and benefits of combating Global Climate Change The benefits...

...Global Financial Crisis: impacts, solutions and predictions in GCC countries. Since the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008, the world has been suffering from the global financial crisis. It is believed to be the worst financial crisis in 60 years at least since the Great Depression in 1930s, due to the speed, scope, and scale of its impact. The huge difference distinguishes the contemporary crisis from the others is that the other crises were concerned with economic inflation and the current one is concerned with economic deflation. The global financial crisis has started in America, then crossed the Atlantic before going global. It began in the mortgage markets of the United States and erupted through financial markets (Savona, Kirton, Oldani 3). Many factors have contributed to the economy's recession, where signs of housing bubble problem were seen at the end of 2007. Caused by low interest rates beginning on January 3, 2001, and ignored by regulatory agencies, Americans borrowed excessively for home mortgages and this phase lasted to 2004. After that, from June 30, 2004, interest rates started to rise which led to the mortgage being unbearable and eventually subprime. This phase was marked by the increasing foreclosures and it extended from 2005 to 2007. This lead us to the conclusion that global financial crisis occurred due to easy monetary policies along with tax cuts and to failure of regulatory arrangements (Desai 1-3). This was the origin of the global financial...

...Water, energy crisis in Bangladesh How water and electricity scarcity impacts on life and politics. Plus a brief look at the ongoing governmental crisis. Administration of most essential public utilities specially water and electricity is in serious jeopardy in the country, causing untold suffering to the country dwellers. The erratic power supply leads to disruption to smooth water supply to the country dwellers who are reeling from power and water crisis during the ongoing dry season. In the country, people are suffering serious waters crisis due to frequent load shedding, drastic fall in ground water level, insufficient water treatment plants and deep tube wells and the situation is unlikely to improve in coming days unless the government comes up with quick solution. "The situation has started aggravating. If more water treatment plants are not installed, the country people will face severe water shortage," an official of Dhaka WASA said. The official said during the five-year rule of immediate past BNP-Jamaat government, no effort was made to improve this sector The WASA supplies about 160 crore litres of water every day against the demand for over 220 crore litres in the capital and Narayanganj town. As 88 per cent of water is pumped out through 444 deep tube wells from the underground, the water level is falling drastically. Besides, the deep tube wells remain out of order and the condition of water treatment plant at Pagla is not satisfactory. Moreover, severe...

...An epidemic is the rapid spread of infectious disease to a large population within a short time frame. Unfortunately, not being an infectious disease, the opioid crisis does not fall into such a category. Yet, it is a rapidly expanding problem that requires immediate attention. Particularly, in addressing our patients requiring pain management. Often the most commonly prescribed treatment options cause addiction and dependence How did we get into this conundrum? As practicing physicians, we were inadequately trained regarding how to treat pain, how to prevent addiction, and what to do once identified. That, coupled with inadequate information regarding the effects of opioid prescriptions, ill prepared doctors to be the only lynch pin in stemming the present situation. So, in moving forward, what is the solution? As a...

...of Mexico. Florida’s diverse and productive coastal and marine ecosystems are imperative to the state’s present and future. These ecosystems provide food and other products for its habitat as well as valuable and irreplaceable ecological functions. These systems also attract visitors from all over the world who wish to experience the beauty and recreational opportunities these locations offer. The state’s life-support system, economy, and quality of life depend on preserving and sustaining these resources over the long term . Of prime interest to Florida is the climate changes impact on rising sea levels. Sea Level Rise (SLR) has been identified as a major global problem. SLR has two causes, the melting of mountain glaciers and polar ice sheets and thermal expansion of the oceans. At present, the mean global rate of sea level rise is approximately 3 mm per year. However, within a relatively broad band of certainty, projections for future sea level rise consistently indicate a non-linear increase in this rate. A rise of at least 1 meter before the end of the century is an increasingly likely possibility . SLR is a serious problem for Florida because of its vast stretches of coast-line. A large portion of the state’s coastline and near-shore inland areas are less than 10 feet in elevation and are...

...`THE DEVELOPED WORLD IS AGEING AND IS THERFORE FACING A PENSION CRISIS` WORDS COUNT: 797 DATA: 10/03/2012 Going back through human history elderly people were only tiny minority of the population. In 1935 when Social Security Scheme was introduced to prevent poverty in old age elderly people accounted for only 3 to 4%of the population. Nobody suspected that in the future the developed world would face pension crisis caused by shifting demographic. Rising longevity and falling birth rates would cause a lower ratio of workers per retire,which will result in difficulty in paying for state or federal pension. Nowadays people are living longer than ever before and retirement pensions have become a problem. At present “developed countries are experiencing a dramatic and unprecedented demographic transformation” (Jackson and Howe, 2008) which may lead to pension crisis in the nearer future. This essay highlights two key problems that are causing development world aging and emphasise the importance for solution to prevent developed countries from pension crisis. The fact that developed countries are aging is a result of two fundamental trends like falling fertility and rising longevity. Falling fertility is reflected in a decrease in the number of young people. Declining birth rate is a result of changes in women`s life styles. Nowadays women in developed countries getting higher education and taking paid jobs; career comes before having babies. This means getting married...

Five of the region’s countries – Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain – have, to varying degrees, failed to generate enough economic growth to make their ability to pay back bondholders the guarantee it’s intended to be. Although these five were seen as being the countries in immediate danger of a possible default, the crisis has far-reaching consequences that extend beyond their borders to the world as a whole.

...EOC206 Conference 3: Fiscal Policy The dire outlook of the global economy in the second half of 2008 propagated unprecedented fiscal expansions of most countries. The fiscal stimulus and the coordinated monetary expansion stabilized the global economy in the aftermath of the financial meltdown in the U.S., preventing an employment collapse of the type experienced during the great depression. Because of two factors: the collapse of the housing bubble with a significant decline in housing price and a sharp contraction in the construction industry, caused sever Great Recession. In order to stimulus economics, the Federal Reserve took both conventional and un conventional actions, reducing interest rates ti record lows and providing recession (Did the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Create Jobs 146-147). While the ARRA did not achieve tis initial goals, many including President Obama, consider it a major success. Actually is it very hard to support the claim that the ARRA was responsible for the turnaround in GDP growth early last year. This is because the turnaround was from productivity growth, which is part of the supply side of the economy. The federal debt crisis is a contrived one; the real debt crisis is a household sector debt crisis, which is being resolved through a generational deleveraging process, which cut demand in the shot term and is effectively mitigated by necessary short-run federal deficits. The constraints for running large deficits, is...

...is salt (Barlow & Clarke, 2002). Just a mere three percent of the Earth’s water is fresh water and much of it has been polluted. Despite the fact that water is crucial for survival, this basic need is one that is not afforded to all. On the basis of profit, water has become a life and death situation. Wealthy people and countries with the ability to pay will have access to water. Those who cannot afford to pay for the basic need of water, that has now become a commodity, will go without and suffer in poverty. Drinking water scarcity is a huge pandemic. Due to human’s selfish and non-sustainable impact of the water supply there is a global water crisis- the world is running out of water. Amongst developed countries and multinational corporations, there is a damaging mentality that water can be used without limit as long as there are no immediate or significant impacts. The environmental impact of this way of thinking is detrimental. In reality, all of the negative effects of exhaustive water usage accumulates overtime and leads to disastrous results. As water resources are exhausted, they are also vastly polluted. One of the ways in which water is polluted is through agriculture. Chemicals used to increase farming productivity seep into the soil and pollute the ground water (Barlow & Clarke, 2002). Another culprit of water pollution is the automobile gas...
