...country can benefit from the global economies of scale that will meet the challenging targets of generating 14.6 million employment and livelihood until 2016. The Philippines will become a global player in a broad field of products and services, which will benefit its resources (both human and natural), financially, technologically, socially and culturally. It will provide the seed of economic renaissance, which was proposed by the combined local and joint foreign business chambers two years ago. The approach is similar to the ADB’s “Taking the Right Route to Inclusive Growth”—a strategy supported by the National Competitiveness Council’s private sector experts (NCC being a public-private sector partnership). This transformation is proposed to be an active (not passive) attack in identifying the major problems of the key sectors. Such obstacles may be policy-matters,...

...The National Cranberry Cooperative (NCC) is an organization created and owned by cranberry growers to process and market their berries. In the early 1990’s, there was a growing surplus of berries so the growers resorted to the Agriculture Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 to restrict the amount of crop processed. In addition, the cranberry harvesting process was becoming more automated during this period of time. There are two types of berry harvesting: 1) water harvesting which involves flooding bogs, using machines to shake the bushes, and collecting the berries that float to the top; and 2) dry harvesting which requires hand picking. Water harvesting typically results in a yield of 20% more berries than dry harvesting, however, it causes more damage and reduces the time between harvest and long-term storage. Cranberries are processed for one of two purposes: 1) preparing raw berries for sale; and 2) preparing berries for use in juice, canning, freezing, and other processes. The process for preparing berries to be processed at Receiving Plant 1 (RP1) is as follows: 1) Bulk trucks arrive at random with an average delivery of 75 barrels (bbl: which weighs ~100 pounds). 2) The truck is weighed, the full and empty truck weight is recorded and a sample(s) of 30 pounds is taken for initial berry grading (Lowest grade and price 1, 2A, 2B, 3 Highest grade and price). 3) The truck backs into 1 of 5 dumpers 4) A conveyor belt takes the berries to the second level...

...Literature review The essence of financial management is the creation of shareholder value. According to Ehrhard and Bringham (2003), the value of a business based on the going concern expectation is the present value of all the expected future cash flows to be generated by the assets, discounted at the company’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC). From this it can be seen that the WACC has a direct impact on the value of a business. (Johannes and Dhanraj, 2007). The choice between debt and equity aims to find the right capital structure that will maximize stockholder wealth. Debt policy and equity ownership structure “matter” and the way in which they matter differs between firms with many and firms with few positive net present value project (McConnel and Servaes, 1995). Leland and Pyle (1977) propose that managers will take debt equity ratio as a signal, by the fact that high leverage implies higher bankruptcy risk (and costs) for low quality firms. Since managers always have information advantage over the outsiders, the debt structure may be considered as a signal to the market. Ross’s (1977) model suggests that the values of firms will rise with leverage, since increasing the market’s perception of value. Under some conditions capital structure does not affect the value of the firm. Splitting a fund into some mix of shares relating to debt, dividend and capital directly adds value to the company (Gemmille, 2001).Firms has increased their level of debt relative to...

(2012). Tip 36: Treatment for Persons with Child Abuse and Neglect Issues. AllCEUs Counseling Education. Retrieved from www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxNQ84dYUpO In this 36 minute video Sniped touched a lot of issues with explanations of cause and effect of abuse and neglect. Sniped linked child abuse/neglect to substance abuse. The video explains how to help these type of people recover from their addictions and issues. The video tells you how child abuse and neglect, in many cases, are carried from childhood and adulthood. In many cases the victim becomes the abuser in adulthood. Sniped explains how educating the victims is the key and it should be mandated that they receive the education and therapy. She also explains how closer monitoring of these people would a positive approach and deem very helpful in keeping the children safer. I think this is a reliable source. I think this will help my argument because it comes from professional that has the experience and ability to share her knowledge not only from a personal view but from a professional standpoint.

...CONSUMERISM Historical Overview of Consumerist Movement The first consumer movements took place in the 1900s and were fuelled by such factors as rising prices and unethical drugs scandals. The second was in the 1930s, was caused by similar cases as in the 1960, and has been growing stronger since then to date. This was because of complex set developments. Consumers have become better educated, products have become increasingly complex and hazardous and there is general discontent in Nigeria. Evolution of Consumerism in Nigeria In a free economy, businesses can deliver abundant goods and services to those who can afford them, but could make consumers vulnerable due to unscrupulous practices of certain organizations. Nigeria as a third-world country has had consumerism more in the form of government legislation and enforcement than organized consumer associations. Thirty-Seven years after the first consumer protection agency was established, cases of consumer rights abuse are still preponderant. The aim of this exploratory and conceptual study is to assess the performance of agencies in charge of consumer rights protection based on their statutory functions. The study finds that, for the most part, the agencies are below par in performance with very poor level of awareness among Nigerian consumers who are reluctant to enforce their rights. This reluctance is largely due to poor level of education among Nigerian consumers, unnecessarily rigid judicial system that protects...

...Chapter: 1 Introduction: The recent wave of business scandal and ethical lapses have heightened people, press, and investor security of companies, creating demand for a corporate culture of integrity driven performance and a new corporate transparency. Management and boards now feel compelled to ensure that proper governance processes are in place to protect corporate reputation, brand image and share holder value. According to Pricewaterhouse Cooper’s 8th Annual global CEO survey (Dec 2004), 50% of retail industry CEOs believe that there is a strong relationship among all elements of GRC (governance, risk and compliance) and that effective governance can be a value driver and a benefit versus a cost, to their companies. Effective corporate governance requires management and board involvement, accountability, embracing the processes, compliance, and structure required to direct and manage the affairs of a corporation. Its overall goal is to ensure the financial viability to the enterprise and enhance share holder value. For the retail and customer industry, globalization, which entails multinational operations, various financial reporting systems, and complex supply chain with wholesalers, distributors, and multiple types of retailers, not to mention multiple brand portfolios, and various types of outlets, provides significant rationales for management and boards to develop an effective GRC program. Successful corporate governance depends largely on trade-off among the various...

Remaining errors are ours. Financial supports from the Graduate School of International Management at Aoyama Gakuin University are greatly appreciated. ABSTRACT This article examines the industry diversification of the largest Japanese manufacturers in 1973-98. Results show that 118 sample firms steadily increased diversification, a trend continued from earlier periods. Nevertheless, the relatedness of their constituent businesses gauged based on the Input-Output table remained high and stable throughout the study period. Econometric analysis reveals that firms pursuing the “constrained diversification” exploiting inter-business links centered on the core industry segment tend to achieve a higher profitability than firms engaged in the “linked diversification” exploiting links distant from the core.
