...The Federal gift tax is imposed on the right to transfer property by one person (the donor) to another (the donee) for less than full and adequate consideration. The tax is payable by the donor. If the donor fails to pay the tax when due, the donee may be held liable for the tax to the extent of the value of the property received Since the donor cannot pay or cannot be located, as in the this case, the IRS can pursue the donees for the tax under the doctrine of transferee liability. For individual who are neither residents nor citizens of the United States (i.e. nonresidents a liens, or NRAs), the Federal gift tax appliles only to gifts of property situated within the United States. Exempted, however, are gifts of intangibles, such as stock and bonds. For decedents who are nonresident aliens, the Federal estate tax is imposed on the value of property located within the United States. However, unlike the gift tax, the estate tax applies to stock in U.S. corporations. Mr. Kim's concerns are groundless. Except for property located within the United States, the Federal estate tax does not apply to nonresident aliens. The country in which a person happens to die has no relevance in regard to the application of U.S. transfer taxes. For NRAs, any gifts of properties (other than intangibles) located within the United States will be subject to the federal gift tax. Arturo could avoid any U.S. gift tax by having the children buy the properties in their own names. For decedents who...

...INDIVIDUAL REPORT ON SIMULATION EXERCISE (GLO-BUS) COMPANY NAME: X (Company E) INTRODUCTION/ GENERIC STRATEGY We began managing our company, X, intuitively. However, as the operating year progressed our strategic direction began evolving as a mixed yet responsive strategy. We developed two different strategic directions, one for the Entry-level cameras and the second for the Multi-featured cameras, hence a mixed strategy. For the Entry-level camera we applied the Best-cost provider or the Hybrid strategy as we provided a low cost yet unique product as it offered high value and quality. The goal behind this strategy was to increase profitability and outcompete our rivals through increased market share. While for the Multi-featured cameras we implemented a focused differentiation strategy, as we decided to provide a unique product with a high price, to achieve a very high PQ rating. We chose this strategy because we found a gap in the Multi-featured camera market, as there was no other company producing a high quality camera at a premium price. Both of these strategic directions were driven by the responsiveness of the competitive market. For both types of our cameras we tried to find a gap in the market and take advantage of it. Therefore, we chose the hybrid strategy for the Entry-level camera and the focused differentiation strategy for the Multi-featured camera. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW: PESTEL Political Since we operate in four major geographical areas...

...ABSTRACT This project is based on “BPO INDUSTRY IN INDIA”. Business Process Outsourcing is the delegation of one or more of the business processes to an external provider, which in turn owns, manages and controls the selected processes based on some specific standards. It was started in India in early 1980’s by the British Airways who set-up their captive unit in Delhi. BPO in India starts with low-end data entry processes, but now it moves up the value chain and deals in core business processes also. Both voice and non-voice BPO Industry exists in India. Various types of services are performed, call centres being the attraction today for the youth. BPO operates through three types of business models viz. - Transactional, Niche and Comprehensive. Finance and Accounting has also set its significant place in BPO pie. In 2008, BPO industry generates USD 12.8 Bn revenue, out of which exports revenue was USD 10.9 Bn. It will achieve USD 14.8 Bn by the end of 2009 (expected) and is expected to achieve USD 60 Bn by 2012 and USD 225 Bn by the end of 2020. Cost competitiveness and talented pool of human resources are the key drivers in the growth of BPO industry, but still some factors such as underdeveloped infrastructure and competition from other low-cost countries are providing challenge to the Indian industry, which needs to be addressed carefully by the cooperation of government, NASSCOM and industry itself.

...1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Public Securities Corporation (PSC), a wholly-owned stock brokerage firm of the AFP Retirement and Separation Benefits System (AFP RSBS) envisions itself to be one of the top stock brokerage firms in the Philippines. The company was acquired by the AFP RSBS from a group of private individuals in 1994 with the main objective of taking advantage of the favorable prospects in the stock market and at the same time, to generate income for the mother company. Value turnover at the Philippine Stock Exchange slowed by 30% and lost P383 billion from P1.2 trillion in 1997 to P817 billion in 1998 due to the Asian Financial crisis. The decline in value turnover resulted to less commission income generated from broking services that caused both local and foreign brokers to leave the Philippine equities market and applied for temporary suspension, while others opted to cease operations totally. Political instability also discouraged investors in Philippine equities during the Estrada Administration. Illegal trading activities, such as frontrunning, insider trading and “kiting” resulted to the loss of investors’ confidence towards the regulatory bodies, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Philippine Stock Exchange. This paper presents three frameworks to analyze the effectiveness of the company’s current strategy. Among the frameworks employed was PEST Analysis or Political, Economic, Social and Technological Analysis which was used to...
