Conclusion …………………………………………………………………………… References Executive Summery Pike river coal mine was operated by Pike River Coal 46 km (29 mi) north-east of Greymouth in the West Coast Region of New Zealand's South Island. Pike River Coal Company Ltd (Pike) was formed in 1982 and acquired by New Zealand Oil & Gas Ltd (NZOG) in 1998 as the major shareholder. It was initially expected to produce around one million tonnes of coal per year for around 20 years, making the mine the second-largest coal export mine in the country, as well as the largest underground coal mine of the country. Because of various technical glitch and poor forecasting of the management, the whole project was delayed. The Delayed timeframe, lower production rate of coal has increased the financial pressure as it was proven to be as over-promised and under-delivered. On Friday the 19th November 2010 an underground explosion occurred at the Pike River Mine that resulted in the deaths of twenty- nine men. Over the ensuing nine days, three more explosions propagated through the mine...

...Changes in Equity Consolidated Statement of Cashflow Notes to the Financial Statements Audit Report Corporate Governance Statement Shareholder Information Corporate Directory NZOG Annual Report 2011 Chairman’s Review During the year ended 30 June 2011 the company faced a very challenging time in dealing with the adverse flow-on impact of its investments in Pike River Coal Ltd (PRCL), whose mine near Greymouth suffered from explosions and a tragic loss of lives in November 2010. However, despite the resultant losses on NZOG’s investments in PRCL, which have been provided for in the financial statements, NZOG still ended the year in a very sound financial position and having an expanded outlook overall for its oil and gas operations. sands. There is potential for a sizeable discovery. NZOG holds a 90% interest in PEP 51311 but is amenable to farming down its equity to around 50%. As an adjunct to these and other New Zealand activities, which still form the core of NZOG’s operations, the company has now acquired interests overseas, through the award of a prospecting permit in offshore Tunisia and a joint study area in onshore Indonesia (Sumatra). In Tunisia the Diodore permit encompasses the Alyane prospect over which it is intended to acquire new seismic data before the end of calendar 2011. NZOG was successful in obtaining this area 100% and will look to have a partner join it ahead of drilling this very interesting prospect. Management The recruitment process to select...

Assessment, Management and Future Directions for Coastal Fisheries in Asian Countries. WorldFish Center Conference Proceeding 67, 1 120 p. Abstract This paper reviews the coastal fishery resources of Bangladesh emphasizing the coastal environment, capture fisheries and management issues relative to the sector. Bangladesh’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) covers an area of about 166 000 km2. This area has abundant natural resources such as fish, shrimps, crabs and other marine products. Shrimp and fish trawling is the most important economic activity in this area. The fishery sector makes a significant contribution to the national economy in terms of foreign exchange, income generation and employment. It is very important in nutrition, especially in providing animal protein. In 1997 - 99, the marine fisheries sector contributed 22% of the total fishery production of 1 373 000 t. However, the resources are being destroyed in many ways. The fisheries resources have declined and fishers are getting poorer. The decline is partly due to estuarine...

It rattled and creaked at every movement; the pail, hanging on behind, chimed in gruffly, and from these sounds alone and from the wretched rags of leather hanging loose about its peeling body one could judge of its decrepit age and readiness to drop to pieces. Two of the inhabitants of N. were sitting in the chaise; they were a merchant of N. called Ivan Ivanitch Kuzmitchov, a man with a shaven face wearing glasses and a straw hat, more like a government clerk than a merchant, and Father Christopher Sireysky, the priest of the...

...Course Description This course introduces the concepts, tools, and first principles of strategy formulation and competitive analysis. It is concerned with managerial decisions and actions that materially affect the success and survival of business enterprises. The course focuses on the information, analyses, organizational processes, skills, and business judgment managers must use to design strategies, position their businesses and assets, and define firm boundaries, to maximize long-term profits in the face of uncertainty and competition. Strategic Management (BUAD 497) is an integrative and interdisciplinary course in two important respects: 1. The course assumes a broad view of the environment that includes competitors, buyers/consumers, suppliers, technology, economics, capital markets, and government both locally and globally. It assumes that the external environment is dynamic and characterized by uncertain changes. In studying strategy, this course draws together and builds on all the ideas, concepts, and theories from your functional courses such as Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Organizational Behavior, and Statistics. However, it is much more than a mere integration of the functional specialties within a firm. 2. The course takes a general management perspective. It views the firm as a whole, and examines how policies in each functional area are integrated into an overall competitive strategy. We designed this course to develop...

...Like most fields of study the safety has a history of development. The idea of safety and health as a humanitarian ideal is a relatively new phenomena. As organized civilizations grew and became more sophisticated the size of the labor pool that was necessary to build buildings, goods, and perform services became much larger. Goal of early safety and health activities was to increase the working life span of slaves and indentured servants in an attempt to conserve the limited human resource. It was in the 19th and 20th centuries that the concept of the company obligation to protect the workers really evolved from abuses of workers during the great depression, and the rise of organized labor. Consequently changes in the safety health field are often motivated by great tragedies that focus public attention on risks in the workplace. The Goals of this unit: * Identify the historic trends in industrial safety * Identify events that have impacted industrial safety To complete this unit you must 1. Read the chapter in the book 2. Review the PowerPoint slides 3. Look into the Bhopal accident using the video and searching the Internet to answer the following under the "Assignment tab" for : Session 2: History of Safety. 1.
