...Introduction In Dec 2010, China airlines Ltd, announced that it had recorded sales revenues of 138.14 Million dollar as for flights carrying people. The company’s Sales Revenue increased by 41 % from Dec 2009 in which the company had achieved 98 Million Dollars. This increase was followed after the company’s announcement in January 2010 that its recorded Sales reached an amount of 358 Million dollars in Dec 2009 including civil and cargo services. These numbers show a huge deficit in the total revenue of flights carrying civilians where the main source of profitability was based and focused on Cargo flights services. Still CAL, China airlines Ltd, didn’t complete its Mission well in terms of increasing profitability and developing its services in order to boost its revenues. Still Civil flights consider covering 38% of the company’s recorded sales. In our paper we stated the company’s Vision, Mission, and Objectives in order to state a plan for developing the company’s civil flights using an edited Business Model. CAL’s problem was in its high costs among competitors who used the LCC (low cost control) in their business in order to create a competitive advantage. In our paper we edited the company’s business model in which we entered some of LCC programs that may attract more customers and compete strongly with competitors. For that CAL developed its systems to be number one leading systems among other airlines especially those in emerging markets such as Mainland china. We...

...the pollution? Some scientists, such as university professor Dr. Oswaldo Campos, argue that poor part of the population in third world countries pays the price. If so should developing countries try to find a way to economic prosperity with strict environmental standards? On the other hand, what kind of moral obligations does business have when it comes to the environment? Let us consider these ethical dilemmas in greater details. Do poor countries really pay the price for the progress? We can consider historical progress made by the countries in the West. None of them magically advanced to the relative prosperity without sacrifices. Many of the same “dirty” industries originated in the industrialized countries. Many of them have been there for the most part of the twenties century. Since western population had to deal with them for some time, these industries have evolved and many of them have now being perfected to the best of human ability. Many factories reduced their air emissions, reduced and recycled their waste and many of them are automated by employing robots. In the current economical environment, the burden of the manufacturing belongs to the less developed countries. It is in the nature of the business to seek lowest production costs. I believe that there is direct correlation between economic progress of the particular country and an increase in the environmental...

...Linn County Oregon is located in the center of the Willamette Valley and covers 2,309 miles,19 of which are water (US Cesnus Bureau, 2015). It is the grass seed capitol of the world, and thus has a strong, rural culture. According to the US Census Bureau it has a population of 119, 356 people, and there are two hospitals available to serve this population. Because it is a large area with 37% of its residents living in a rural setting, transportation can be problematic. Unfortunately, over 20% of Linn County’s residents live at or below the poverty level and the large outlying area combined with this number can make access to health care a challenge (CityData.com, 2012). Population Economic Status Linn County Oregon consists of 119,356 people with an average household income of $45, 130 for two people. There is 20.5% of the population living below the poverty level and 19.7% of that total is under the age of 18. There is not a lot of cultural diversity in this area, as 93.4% of the population is White, followed by 8.4% Hispanic, and 1.3% Native American. Of that, 18.9% of the White population is living in poverty, 33.3% of the Hispanics, and 43.3% of the Native American’s also live at or below the poverty level (City-Data.com, 2012).

...urban, industrial economy is integral to the process of economic development. Policymakers in the least developed countries (LDCs) have, at various times, attempted to make agriculture the primary engine of economic growth and employment generation but this approach has not worked. The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry occupies a unique position in the Bangladesh economy. Bangladesh has a total population of over160 million. Among of vast population about 3.5 million people are working in the garments industries. It is the largest exporting industry in Bangladesh, which experienced phenomenal growth during the last 20 years under the quota system of Multi-Fiber Arrangement (MFA). The abolition of quota system thus brings new challenges for Bangladesh’s apparel industry to continue its current status and enhance it in a free flow of apparel trade era. According to BGMEA, after the Liberation War of Bangladesh, in 1983 the Ready-Made-Garment (RMG) industry emerged to be a most promising sector in the socio-economic context of Bangladesh. From that point of time till now, this industry has grown and developed so rapidly that currently Bangladesh is exporting RMG products worth 5 billion USD every year to countries like EU, USA, Canada and other countries of the world. Now, Bangladesh enjoys the position of being the 6th largest apparel supplier to the USA and EU countries. The sector rapidly attained high importance in terms of employment, foreign exchange earnings and its contribution...

And after that he decided to focus on realization of his long-standing dreams: one is Space X – the company, the main purpose of which is the design of launch vehicles and the cargo delivery to the Space. This is the first commercial company to launch and dock a vehicle to the International Space Station. The second is Tesla Motors – the company, which pushes cars into the “New Age” - the age of the clean electric cars. Which wants put an end to uneconomical and low-tech cars of the past1.(http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9C%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BA,_%D0%AD%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%BD) Internal combustion engine efficiency - though continuously improving over time - still causes criticism by the "clean energy" crowd. It is argued that in our time of innovation the slow increase in efficiency is not sufficient, and an alternative is needed. That is why the "green" energy adopters see Tesla Motors' Model S as a messiah of sorts. We should keep in mind that the ecological impact of internal combustion vehicles is often overlooked in pursuit of power, luxury factor, or comfort. IC engines produce carbon monoxide that has environmental impact, certain functional elements are non-recyclable and have to be destroyed or stored indefinitely. Tesla offers - on paper, at least - an alternative to a classic form with innovative function and revolutionized efficiency. Throughout the recent twenty-odd...

...The tremendous success of readymade garment exports from Bangladesh over the last two decades has surpassed the most optimistic expectations. Today the apparel export sector is a multi-billion-dollar manufacturing and export industry in the country. The overall impact of the readymade garment exports is certainly one of the most significant social and economic developments in contemporary Bangladesh. With over one and a half million women workers employed in semi-skilled and skilled jobs producing clothing for exports, the development of the apparel export industry has had far-reaching implications for the society and economy of Bangladesh. Literature Review: Several authors have analyzed aspects of the garment industry in Bangladesh. Of the various aspects of the industry, the problems and the working conditions of female workers have received the greatest attention. There are several studies including the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) study by Salma Chowdhury and Protima Mazumdar (1991) and the Bangladesh Unnayan Parisad (1990) study on this topic. Both of these studies use accepted survey and research methodology to analyze a wealth of data on the social and economic background, problems and prospects of female workers in the RMG sector. Professor Muzaffar Ahmad looks at the industrial organization of the sector and discusses robustness and long-term viability of apparel manufacturing in Bangladesh. Wiigton (2000) provides a good overview of this...
