It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as is and why it exists at all.” Stephen Hawking Although the goal is termed as simple, it is a monumental albeit fascinating task and qual research often gets endowed with that task in a marketing environment. Hence, the hunt to explain the reasons behind a particular phenomenon or phenomena and arrive at insightful solutions continues. Having said that, Qualitative research also comes under the axe for producing results that are “too conceptual and airy/fairy” or “not robust enough to be actionable” or as the ubiquitous client would put it “telling me things that I already know” or better still “not giving me enough insights”. So how does one combat this? To the authors of this paper, the answer lies in not just adopting the proverbial “thinking out of the box” route but also identifying the insights and enclosing it...

...FraudAnalytic, Nonfinancial, and Red Flags | For Dr. Pacini ACG 6686: Accounting Fraud Examination Concepts -Spring 2013 – Mavis Curley Florida Atlantic University April 25, 2013 | I. INTRODUCTION The use of analytical procedures on financial data to asses risk and detect fraud is standard practice for auditors; however, using only financial data has been shown to be ineffective in uncovering many frauds. (3-Brazel) Auditors and forensic accountants find that when nonfinancial performance measures and financial data are compared inconsistencies can be exposed, and fraud risk revealed, that otherwise would have gone undetected. (3-Brazel) There are a number of nonfinancial performance measures which can raise questions about financial reporting and the corporations environment; although they are not directly related to the accounting of the business they function as possible indicators or symptoms of fraud; this can help detect wrong doing sooner than analytical procedures alone. This paper will describe common nonfinancial performance measures and through the use of a fictional corporation, show how nonfinancial performance measures and can expose fraud and fraud risk and discuss the use of red-flags and the future of nonfinancial measures in auditing, investing and investigations. II. NON FINANCIAL MEASURES AND CORPORATION X The American Association of Accountants (AAA) published a commentary paper on the NFM research done by Brazel et al, below...

...Introduction The consumer need for wellness products and various services have continued to evolve in India as the income levels are growing along with it awareness is rising. The lifestyle of a consumer is an important part and with every passing day each and every consumer is getting known to this. Health/wellness which was recently considered as a niche concept has managed to gather a mainstream audience in today’s time. Consumers today want to have total control about their look, how they feel and this is driving purchase decision across major categories like food, beverages , personal care and services. In response to this marketers have launched major products and even services that contribute round 600 billion INR to the wellness market in India .This industry is continuing to grow and it still remains a fraction which is about 4 % or less of the overall consumer expenditure in India. Indian consumers have shown a wide display of behaviour characteristics right from passive where demand of such wellness products is very less to believers for whom wellness is an integral part. Thus it is very important for the wellness players to identify their target segment or core consumer target, so that they can align their value proposition with specific needs of this segment. The scope in the wellness market in India is immense–even a 1% increase in consumer expenditure can potentially create an additional opportunity of six billion INR for wellness players. Today’s young consumers...

...Random numbers in C++ and The Pythagorean Theorem Name Course Date Random numbers in C++ and The Pythagorean Theorem Introduction Computer programs in light of the technological advances that have been made, arguably make up for the most important concepts in such developments. A set of instructions designed to assist a computer to prefer a given task is referred to as a computer program. There are numerous languages used to create/design computer for instance Java Script, Java, C++, SQL and Sage (Laine, 2013). Computer programming is defined as a process of developing a working set of computer instructions meant to aid the computer in the performance of a given task. Computer programming starts with the formulation of a valid computer problem. This process is then followed by the development of an executable computer program, for instance Firefox Web Brower (Laine 2013). It is worth noting that there are other programs in the same realm. Computer programming is a diverse field that is of utmost importance in the modern world, especially with the continuous expansion of the internet. Perhaps the relevance of this can be underlined by the fact that computer programming has carved out as a course on itself. Computer programming is offered under several courses studied in colleges and universities (Laine, 2013). Computer programming is not only for computer students but for all who use computers on a day to day basis. This is by extension everyone since the...

...Lebanon vs. Egypt Economies of Emerging Nations Dr. Yiheyis | Clark Atlanta University Submitted By: Quincy Williams December 2,2014 Lebanon vs. Egypt In this paper I will compare and contrast the countries of Egypt and Lebanon. I will explore both of the country’s economic history starting in 1980. The basis of this paper will be on the country’s global development indicators and what they tell us about that particular country. The majority of the research done in this paper was done through the world-bank website as well as the economy watch website. First I would like to provide some background on Lebanon. Lebanon is a Middle Eastern country in the west of the Asian continent that shares its borders with Syria, Israel and Mediterranean Sea. Most of Lebanon’s land is mountainous. However, the Beqaa valley, with its fertile soil, remains the source for agricultural products. Lebanon has an area of 10,452 square km and population of 4,224,000. The Lebanese economy is noted for its resilience, having withstood wars and invasions with Israel as well as internal sectarian clashes and at times dominating influence from Syria. It is this resilience that helped Lebanon achieve 9% growth during the Great Financial Crisis. The growth was nurtured by controlled banking regulations that restricted credit and therefore, its impact during the recession. As of 2011, the World Bank classified the middle class in Lebanon as those people who earn between $15,000 and $27,000 annually. But...

...“Density of cells” means “the number of cells per unit volume of liquid”. For example, they might want to find out the density of red blood cells in blood plasma, the density of bacteria in milk, or the population of Paramecium sp. (a protozoan) in water from a pond. The simplest, most convenient and cheapest means of accurately determining the number of cells in a sample is to use a haemocytometer and a microscope. A haemocytometer is a specialised slide that has a counting chamber with a known volume of liquid. The haemocytometer is a device originally designed for the counting of blood cells. It is now also used to count other types of cells as well as other microscopic particles. The haemocytometer was invented by Louis-Charles Malassez and consists of a thick glass microscope slide with a rectangular indentation that creates a chamber. This chamber is engraved with a laser-etched grid of perpendicular lines. The device is carefully crafted so that the area bounded by the lines is known, and the depth of the chamber is also known. It is therefore possible to count the number of cells or particles in a specific volume of fluid, and thereby calculate the concentration of cells in the fluid overall. The haemocytometer consists of a heavy glass slide with two counting chambers, which is 0.1mm deep, each of which is divided into nine large 1mm squares, on an etched and silvered surface separated by a trough. A cover slip sits on top of the raised supports of the ‘H’ shaped troughs...

...NAME: FUH GEORGE CHEO CLASS: MBA PROJECT MANAGEMENT THE EFFECT OF MONETARY POLICY ON HOUSEHOLD CONSUPTION IN CAMEROON ABSTRACT The study investigates the effect of monetary policy on household consumption in Cameroon between 1980 and 2010. The objective of the the study is to find out the relationship between monetary policy on household consumption in Cameroon and to recommend policies to improve on household consumption in Cameroon. The study uses secondary time series annual data from World Bank Group Development indicators for Cameroon. The work uses economic model showing household final consumption expenditure as a function of monetary and quasi money growth, real interest rate, total reserve and Gross National Income per capita. Given the trends of the variables estimated results indicate that Total reserve as a ratio of GNP and GNI per capita positively and significantly affect household consumption. Monetary and quasi monetary growth has a negative impact on household consumption. Policy makers therefore need to encourage Total reserve and GNI per capita. It is therefore strongly recommended that instrument of monetary policy should be used in the economy as means of influencing household consumption. Introduction Monetary policy Monetary policy is the process by which monetary authority of a country control the supply of money often targeting a rate of interest for the purpose of promoting economic...
