...Organizational Transformation Q&A Tahisia Morrow University of Phoenix OI/361 June 12, 2012 Dr. Joseph Glasgow Individual Organizational Transformation Q&A I would identify and characterize the roles of incentives, training, and education in promoting innovation in my organization according to the level of achievements within the organization. In my organization, everyone has to be accountable for their own actions and responsible for their own success and failures. However, because the leadership is so strong and thought of every aspect of the organization, following the simple steps to running a successful organization is a proven system that anyone can do. With that being said, if you are great at playing follow the leader, there will be no reason for a great deal of innovation because all that needs to be done, has been done. The one innovation that is promoted is the way to build confidence and posture. Something leaders teach but each individual has to find it in them what it takes to motivate them to implement the changes that need to be made. The leaders, which are the founder, the vice president of sales and the master distributor do more focusing on the creation of the innovation in my organization. The leaders that have been in the trenches and made a substantial amount of success within the organization focus more on managing and sustaining the innovation in my organization. According to the structure of the organization, not much innovation...

More specifically, Creative Intelligence describes the aspects of personality that drive us to achieve outstanding results. It also covers how we see and understand the world around us. It deals with our basic values in terms of what we consider right and wrong, or good and bad. And finally, it covers our willingness to take risks. The styles are as follows: Intuitive - Focuses on results and relies on past experience to guide actions. Innovative - Concentrates on problem-solving, is systematic, and relies on data. Imaginative - Is able to visualize opportunities, is artistic, enjoys writing, and thinks “out of the box.” Inspirational - Focuses on social change and the giving of self toward that end (Apollo Group Incorporated, 2004).

...Betting Against Beta Andrea Frazzini and Lasse H. Pedersen* This draft: October 9, 2011 Abstract. We present a model with leverage and margin constraints that vary across investors and time. We find evidence consistent with each of the model’s five central predictions: (1) Since constrained investors bid up high-beta assets, high beta is associated with low alpha, as we find empirically for U.S. equities, 20 international equity markets, Treasury bonds, corporate bonds, and futures; (2) A betting-against-beta (BAB) factor, which is long leveraged lowbeta assets and short high-beta assets, produces significant positive risk-adjusted returns; (3) When funding constraints tighten, the return of the BAB factor is low; (4) Increased funding liquidity risk compresses betas toward one; (5) More constrained investors hold riskier assets. * Andrea Frazzini is at AQR Capital Management, Two Greenwich Plaza, Greenwich, CT 06830, e-mail: andrea.frazzini@aqr.com; web: http://www.econ.yale.edu/~af227/ .

...Acknowledgments ix Acknowledgments This book owes a great deal to the mental energy of several generations of scholars. As an undergraduate at the University of Cape Town, Francis Wilson made me aware of the importance of migrant labour and Robin Hallett inspired me, and a generation of students, to study the African past. At the School of Oriental and African Studies in London I was fortunate enough to have David Birmingham as a thesis supervisor. I hope that some of his knowledge and understanding of Lusophone Africa has found its way into this book. I owe an equal debt to Shula Marks who, over the years, has provided me with criticism and inspiration. In the United States I learnt a great deal from ]eanne Penvenne, Marcia Wright and, especially, Leroy Vail. In Switzerland I benefitted from the friendship and assistance of Laurent Monier of the IUED in Geneva, Francois Iecquier of the University of Lausanne and Mariette Ouwerhand of the dépurtement évangélrlyue (the former Swiss Mission). In South Africa, Patricia Davison of the South African Museum introduced me to material culture and made me aware of the richness of difference; the late Monica Wilson taught me the fundamentals of anthropology and Andrew Spiegel and Robert Thornton struggled to keep me abreast of changes in the discipline; Sue Newton-King and Nigel Penn brought shafts of light from the eighteenthcentury to bear on early industrialism. Charles van Onselen laid a major part of the intellectual foundations on...

...Slow Diffusion of Information and Price Momentum in Stocks: Evidence from Options Markets Zhuo Chen∗ Andrea Lu† September 6, 2014 Abstract This paper investigates the source of price momentum in the equity market using information from options markets. The empirical results provide direct evidence of the gradual information diffusion model in Hong and Stein (1999). Consistent with their theory, we show that a successful identification of stocks’ information diffusion stage helps explain momentum profits. We are able to enhance momentum profits by longing winner stocks with higher growth (and shorting loser stocks with larger drop) in call options implied volatility. Our empirical strategy generates a risk-adjusted alpha of 1.8% per month for a hedged winner-minus-loser portfolio over the 1996–2011 period, during which the simple momentum strategy fails to perform. The results are stronger and clearer if we use call options compared with put options, which are consistent with managers’ tendency to reveal good news and hide bad news. Our results are robust to transaction costs, choice of options’ moneyness, elimination of implied volatility persistence, and choice of options’ time-to-maturity. Finally, our results are not driven by existing stock-level characteristics, such as size, trading volume, and analyst coverage.

The strong revenue growth was largely attributable to higher income from The Met condominium development in Thailand as well as stronger contributions from the Group’s hotels & resorts in Singapore, the Maldives and Bali. Consequently, the Group’s profit before income tax and fair value adjustments to investment properties increased by 28.2% to $94.3 million from $73.5 million last year. Group borrowings increased, mainly due to further contributions towards the Group’s 22.5% share of the remaining acquisition cost for the Farrer Court site, as well as payment of development expenditure for The Met condominium in Thailand. This resulted in corresponding increases in investment in associates and development properties. Trade receivables also increased, mainly...

Abstract • We study why multinational enterprise (MNE) subsidiaries adopt dissimilar politic'll strategies. and seek to advance the understanding of international political strategy from an MNE parent-subsidiary perspective. • Drawing on the MNE parent-subsidiary literature. we contend factors at the subsidiary. corporate. and host country levels contribute to subsidiary political strategy dissimilarity. We test our hypotheses with a sample of U.S. MNE subsidiaries within Western Europe. Key Results • The results demonstrate that dissimilarity in MNE subsidiary political strategy is attributed to a combination of subsidiary. corponlte. and host country factors. Authors William P.

...Physical cosmology • • • V T E The Universe is commonly defined as the totality of existence,[1][2][3][4] including planets, stars, galaxies, the contents of intergalactic space, the smallest subatomic particles, and all matter and energy.[5][6] Similar terms include the cosmos, the world, reality, and nature. The observable universe is about 46 billion light years in radius.[7] Scientific observation of the Universe has led to inferences of its earlier stages. These observations suggest that the Universe has been governed by the same physical laws and constants throughout most of its extent and history. The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model that describes the early development of the Universe, which is calculated to have begun13.798 ± 0.037 billion years ago.[8][9] Observations of supernovae have shown that the Universe is expanding at an accelerating rate.[10] There are many competing theories about the ultimate fate of the universe. Physicists remain unsure about what, if anything, preceded the Big Bang. Many refuse to speculate, doubting that any information from any such prior state could ever be accessible. There are various multiverse hypotheses, in which some physicists have suggested that the Universe might be one among many or even an infinite number of universes that likewise exist.[11][12] Contents [hide] 1 Historical observation 2 History 3 Etymology, synonyms and definitions o o o o •...
