"If all of your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" Children often find themselves faced with this question after having been caught doing something that, at the time, seemed right to them; probably because "everyone" else i.e., their peers, was doing it. And, much to their chagrin, children know that the answer to the above question is "no". Even at an early age, they are expected to have the ability to separate their own values from those of their friends. Without defining or analyzing, they are expected to know the difference between "doing the right thing": according to the values of those around them and "doing what is right": according to their own set of values. How does a child know when something is right or wrong? What guidelines does he or she use;...

Yet the intangible assets, such as a particular technology, accumulated consumer information, brand name, reputation, and corporate culture, are invaluable to the firm’s competitive power. In fact, these invisible assets are often the only real source of competitive edge that can be sustained over time. —HIROYUKI ITAMI, MOBILIZING INVISIBLE ASSETS You’ve gotta do what you do well. —LUCINO NOTO, FORMER VICE CHAIRMAN, EXXON MOBIL OUTLINE l Introduction and Objectives l The Role of Resources and l Organizational Capabilities Classifying Capabilities The Architecture of Capability l Appraising Resources and Capabilities Establishing Competitive Advantage Sustaining Competitive Advantage Appropriating the Returns to Competitive Advantage l Putting Resource and Capability Capabilities in Strategy Formulation Basing Strategy on Resources and Capabilities Resources and Capabilities as Sources of Profit l The Resources of the Firm Tangible Resources Intangible Resources Human Resources Analysis to Work: A Practical Guide Step 1 Identify the Key Resources and Capabilities 123 CSAC05 1/13/07 9:21 Page 124 124 PART II THE TOOLS OF STRATEGY ANALYSIS Step 2 Appraising Resources and Capabilities Step 3 Developing Strategy Implications l Developing Resources and Capabilities...

...INTRODUCTION In the eyes of the ordinary consumer, a trademark is the source of identification of a particular good, if someone decides to creake a similar trademark which will confuse the consumer in thinking that the laer trademark is the same as the earlier trademark,a case of trademark infringement has occurred.However,a later trademark can be created which is unsimmilar to an earlier well-known trademark and does not cause a likelihood of confusion in the eyes of the consumer but however is likely to create a mental association between the earlier well-Known mark and the subsequent mark in which case,the repute of the well known mark is affected.This latter case is protected under trademark dilution. Trademark has to do with a recognisable sign or mark which is attributed to an actual source and as a result the owner of a trademark claims exclusive rights to that property identified by the mark. As a result of the above, the owner of a trademark gets protection from the law to prevent another person from using that trademark, this protection is justified in the sense that it protects the creativity of the owner of the trademark so he is rewarded for his investment and the public is not confused to associate another product bearing similar marks with the earlier trademark. Trademark law helps to inform the public about the source of a product,enable differentiation,gurantee quality and helps in advertising, in all,trademark law provides cosunmer with efficient market information...

...Introduction William Border is a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development where he leads the Migration and Development Initiative. His current research focuses on the effects of international migration, and on rigorous impact evaluation for aid projects. Much of his current work focuses on development and covers topics including the impact of international aid and policymaking on education equality outcomes, as well as the post-2015 development agenda, the role of technology in quality of life improvements, and governance and anticorruption. It is commonly believed that BD results in a decrease in tax revenue to the government... I actually have a different view on this matter. From the remittances is it first of all the households that are benefitting from it, but secondly the government is benefitting as well. I will explain this in more detail. The remittances spent on the consumption of both domestically produced goods and imports increase the tax base, which in turn increases revenues from sales taxes, value-added taxes and import duties and other indirect taxes. (stroomdiagram) With the remittances, the individuals/society determine their spending priorities as opposed to the agenda of the government as is the case with taxes and foreign aid. Besides this, governments are now able to increase their debts, because of the constant inflow generated by tax, or governments can spend more on infrastructure. (Abdih et al, 2012) In other words, remittances...

International trade theories are simply different theories to explain international trade. Trade is the concept of exchanging goods and services between two people or entities. International trade is then the concept of this exchange between people or entities in two different countries. People or entities trade because they believe that they benefit from the exchange. They may need or want the goods or services. While at the surface, this many sound very simple, there is a great deal of theory, policy, and business strategy that constitutes international trade. Below are the different trade theories that have evolved over the past century and which are most relevant today. Plus the factors that impact international trade and how businesses and governments use these factors to their respective benefits to promote their interests. What Are the Different International Trade Theories? In more recent centuries, economists have focused on trying to understand and explain these trade patterns. To better understand how modern global trade has evolved, it’s important to understand how countries traded with one another historically. Over time, economists have developed theories to explain the mechanisms of global trade. The main historical theories are...

...In 2007 it took seven economists 11 months to decide what should have seemed obvious given all the foreclosures, bank failures, and layoffs that the United States is officially mired in a recession. Many economists believe the current downturn could be the worst since the recession of 1980-1982, when the United States unemployment rate soared above 10%. There are many reasons for the recession of 2008, but mostly because the irrational exuberance in the housing market led many people to buy houses they could not afford because everyone thought housing prices could only go up. In 2006, the bubble burst as housing prices started to decline. This caught many homeowners off guard, who had taken loans with little money down. As they realized they would lose money by selling the house for less than their mortgage, they foreclosed. An escalating foreclosure rate panicked many banks and hedge funds, who had bought mortgage-backed securities on the secondary market and realized they were facing huge losses. By August 2007, banks became afraid to lend to each other because they didn't want these toxic loans as collateral. This led to the $700 billion bailout, and bankruptcies or government nationalization of Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, IndyMac Bank, and Washington Mutual. By December 2008, employment was declining faster than in the 2001 recession. No industry took a hit like the retail industry. Compared to the 2009 Store Closing list, the number of stores scheduled for...
