...resource and should be placed on the left side of the balance sheet. The benefit of treating employee as valuable assets is that companies which invest in their employees create a positive environment so that they can work and perform better financially. One example of an organization that has done this is Infosys (The Commerce Pedia, 2012), the giant Info Technology services firm in India. The entire workforce within the firm was assigned a value using an accounting model that calculates all of its employees’ collective worth. By doing this, Infosys has a significant commitment to investing in employees across all functions and levels of experience and the firm can take managerial decisions based on the availability and the necessity of human resources. After considering the influence of the human capital investment, the accounting equation should be revised as “assets = liabilities + owners' equity”, where the assets include human assets and material assets. With the recognition of the importance of human resource, it will be incorporated into the company's external financial reports to provide more reliable information.

...Jenell Obie Nov. 9, 2014 Professor Daryl Fields Homework Assignment #2 Sports are very important part of the culture of the United States. When planning to expend a U.S franchise overseas, you need to think of all the factors of local cultures and have a plan to be able to overcome those factors to increase popularity abroad. To be able to attract new athletes, you must understand the cultural differences of their countries. So when taking sport franchises overseas is to make sure we understand the social structures, religion, manners, customs, values, attitudes, language, and personal communication. Just because it’s popular here in America doesn’t mean it will be a hit in other countries. There are many cultures abroad, and it’s nearly impossible to predict what all those cultures will enjoy. Market research comes into play heavily when deciding to take our sports overseas. Now, as the U.S. sport franchises try and go global they are scouting and recruiting foreign athletes, which makes not only that team but also it might make that sport popular with that country of which these foreign players come from. Just like with any business wanting to go global they have to be willing to adapt to that countries customs and rules, for sports it might mean how they play the sport or the rules of the sport and the overall sportsmanship. The most important thing I believe franchises should do to ensure their product is appropriate is to first see if their product is adaptable and...

...Julie Beitzel October 16, 2011 SEI English Language Teaching: Foundations & Methodologies Professor Jennifer Ashton When thinking of France I think of people speaking French, when thinking of Mexico I think of people speaking Spanish so naturally when I think of the United States I think of people speaking English, but this is not the case. For many decades people have been immigrating to the United States from other countries and therefore much of the United States may not speak English or may speak it as a second language. I have always wanted to live Paris, I mean who really has not, it is the city of love but I do not speak French fluently so I would feel out of place there and would not be able to function like I do in the United States because there is a language barrier. How would I go about solving this problem if I truly wanted to go to Paris? I would fully immerse myself in the French language and culture because it would be the fastest way for me to learn the language. An hour or two a day of French would not profit much in me learning because I would rely on the language I am using the most to get me through the day. Were as if I were required to speak and use French only I would be forced to become more familiar with French ultimately using it fluently. This is the point of many state debates about English-only. Many states have educated students from different countries with a bilingual approach for many years. They have been taught in their native...

...Essay Australian Competition Consumer Commission (ACCC) has taken Federal Court action against Apple for misleading claims about the connectivity speed of the latest iPad. Apple had advertised on there website as an iPad with WIFI+ 4G capabilities, the tablet is unable to use the 1800MHz frequency which is Australia’s existing 4G network. The ACCC is a part of government that aims to encourage competition in a stable environment and to look after the consumer so the consumers do not believe that they are being taken advantaged of by the misleading claims. This misleading claims or a consumer being feeling cheated allows the Australian Competition Consumer Competition to intervene in behalf for the consumer. ACCC had to intervene in behalf of the consumer when apple had made misleading statements about their latest product the iPad. Australian Competition and Consumer Commission believed that apple had made misleading statements about their connectivity speed of the iPad. The basis for this intervention is to maintain or enforce competition within Australia and by the misleading claims the company apple was misleading the consumer by the reference to 4G capabilities. To maintain or even enforce competition ACCC has to intervene to allow the consumer the choice of choosing the product and to have the information about the product before making a decision on the product to purchase. ACCC intervenes to monitor or foster competition so no single market participant has enough...

...Everyone Deserves Equality James Crosslin Eth/125 April 14, 2013 Nick Embaye Equality in the United States is something that many people of different races, ethnic groups, genders, gays, lesbians and transgender people have been striving to obtain for decades. Although this country has made great strides in equality, much more needs to be done, everyone on planet Earth deserves to be treated equally. Women in the United States were once believed best suited to remain at home, and take care of the children and household chores. Women felt obligated to marry, have as many children as their husbands dictated, have dinner on the stove, and the house cleaned when the husband came home, the old adage, “barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen” was the mindset. Now women are encouraged to work outside the home, economics being the main drive. Yet even with all the strides women have made in the last few decades, there is still discrimination and prejudice against women in the work place, they aren’t promoted as quickly as men if promoted at all (Herminia Ibarra, 2010), pay is lower than men working in the same positions (Fairchild, 2013), sexual harassment is common place. Men don’t believe women are as capable as themselves in performing the jobs that require mental or physical labor, but we know this not to be the case at all. Women are just as able to perform jobs that men are capable of, yet they are placed in subservient roles or in positions that make them “eye...

...The Criminal Justice System Lyn Wilson CJS 200 June 26th, 2011 University of Phoenix/Axia The Criminal Justice System The American criminal justice system is defined as a group of practices, policies, and courts for the purpose of upholding social responsibility, deterring crime, and penalizing those who violate the law. The criminal justice system has three main components, local and state law enforcement agencies, the courts, and corrections. These three components are broken down into progressive stages. The first stage is the initial stop of a suspect on suspicion of probable cause. If the stop yields evidence to substantiate the commission of a crime the suspect is arrested. At this stage the suspect is read his Miranda Rights, or Fifth Amendment protections. When a suspect is arrested they are taken into police custody for prosecution, if the police lack sufficient evidence or did not follow proper procedure the suspect is released. If the suspect is formally charged with a crime the wrongdoer is booked at the police station. Booking is the official recording of the arrest, the individual is fingerprinted, photographed, and the individual’s personal information is taken for record. Usually the individual remains in jail until the next stage, the arraignment hearing. In an arraignment hearing the defendant appears in court to answer the charges against him or her. At this stage the judge provides the defendant with a written copy of the charges, advises him or her...

...business’s that merge horizontally used to work as competitors and in order to eliminate the competition the stronger of the two will offer to buy out the other. This type of merger can occur when there is potential for growth in revenue. It will also provide advantage over the market, giving consumers fewer choices on where to obtain the goods or services. It can eliminate some duplicate costs for producing the good or service, and the decrease in cost can lead to an increase in profit. There have been a number of large companies that have had horizontal mergers in the recent years. The most common of these have been in the banking industry. Horizontal mergers are closely monitored by the Department of Justice ("Amosweb Encyclonomic Web Pedia", 2014). They monitor this insure efficient competition and enforce antitrust laws. Vertical mergers are between to companies from the same supply chain that used to work next to each other. By working together as one organization, more information can be shared, which can increase coordination and productivity. Conglomerate mergers are between two companies that worked in different industries and supply chains. These companies...

...Week 8 Assignment 2 Dr.Chinwe E. Nweke ECO100089VA016-1128-001 Principles of Economics December 2, 2012 1. Analyze the current economic situation in the U.S. as compared to five (5) years ago. Include interest rates, inflation, and unemployment in your analysis. The news informs everyone on a daily basis that the United States has the largest economy and that it is looking to be in great shape since four years ago. To some Americans it seems otherwise. The unemployment rate in 2007 was 4.6% compared to unemployment rate in 2012 at 7.5%. The U.S inflation rate ended in October 2012 after twelve months was 2.16% which is 0.11% higher than the one in September. The U.S inflation forecast consists of apparel, education and communication, energy, food and beverages, housing, medical care, recreation, and transportation. The U.S Government’s inflation economics policy tries to control inflation. High inflation and negative inflation (deflation) can have damaging effects on the economy. 2. Propose two (2) strategies that the federal government could implement that would encourage people to spend more money in order to create employment opportunities. Two strategies that the federal government could implement that would encourage people to spend more money in order to create employment opportunities is to give free college training to low income and unemployed. This would allow them to get paid for going to school or training. It would also provide an automatic job after...

All of the questions are asked by America and there is always conflicting answer to go with those conflicting question. This paper will be analyzing the conflicting reason why people what or do not want immigrates in America using conflict diagnoses and the conflicting resolution of the immigrations conflict in America. Conflict diagnosis will be cover a number of things like describing the conflict, identify the cause of the conflict, analyze interests, Characterize the conflict, Consider trust, Identify impediments to settlement, Identify/maximize the Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement (BATNA), and Consider diversity issues (Zee Pedia , 2014). This conflict of can be described as the American people vs the American people, the American people vs the American government, and the Immigrants vs the American government these are all the parties involved in this conflict. Next step is to understand why each group believes in what they believe to cause the conflict. Why do immigrants what to come to America so bad, so bad to risk not only their lives but their children and their wives/mothers lives? Most immigrants say the same thing “Immigrants chose to come for various reasons, such as to live in freedom, to practice their religion freely, to escape poverty or oppression, and to make better lives for themselves and their children (Arizaga, 2006)” When it comes to the reason...

Cada uno de estos niveles consiste de dos etapas No hace mucho, un grupo de investigadores observó a un niño de un año tomar justicia por sus propias manos. El niño acababa de ver un show de marionetas en donde un muñeco jugaba con una pelota mientras interactuaba con otras dos marionetas. El muñeco del centro rodaba la pelota a la marioneta de la derecha, quien se la pasaba de vuelta. Y el muñeco del centro rodaba la pelota a la marioneta de la izquierda… quien la tomó y corrió. Luego, las marionetas de los extremos eran traídos delante del niñito. Cada uno fue puesto junto a un pilo de galletas. En este punto, se le pedía al niño que quitara las galletas a una de las marionetas. Al igual que la mayoría de niños en esta situación, el niño le quitó las galletas al “tipo...

...Government quotas and subsidies are justified at times. The US sugar policy is a long standing policy that is highly beneficial to sugar growers and a source of controversy for industries that rely on sugar. Government quotas are enacted to benefit domestic industries. The most prevalent reasons for quotas are: protecting domestic employment, hedging against low foreign wages, protecting infant industries, combating unfair trade and ensuring notational security. Foreign imports produced overseas using workers making lower wages would enjoy pricing advantages to domestic goods, so they may have a quota set. Infant industries in a country have to build up to compete with imports that may enjoy and advantage in economies of scale. Unfair trade occurs when products are dumped onto a market at below market price, possibly even below production price, a quota would at least limit that kind of tactic. If a good is seen as important to the security of the economy, which is a national security interest quotas can help protect that industry (Import Quotas, 2013). Export subsidies encourage domestic industries to export goods by increasing the revenue businesses receive by exporting goods. This may be to compete with foreign goods that are subsidized themselves or have a lower price for any number of reasons. When used judiciously these protectionist policies can be beneficial to industries but there is a concern about how they may affect domestic consumers. US sugar policy sets a floor...
